DESIGN OF ARMY TRUCKS
Engineers Favor Combining Clutch,
fermentation md Mechanism In
One Unit.

Word has been received from Wash
inston that important changes have
been made in the design OF the class e
army truck 1t has been decided to
combine the clutch. the transmission
and their operating mechanism in one
enclosed unit rather than to combine
the clutch with the engine.
This construction was Strcnuously
recommended by owen Thomas In his
paper before the annual meeting of the
Society Of Automotivc Engineers at
Washington last June, after his study
of the design for war trucks in France.
Mr.. Thomas said. referring to this con-
struction:
THE clutch should not overhang the
engine bearings, and it's design should
not require annual bearings to line up
with the scrapcd-in engine bearings.
It's operating mechanism should be
supported OH it's housing and should
be better fabricated than usual. The
troubles are mostly In the operating
mechanism. and in all types are eXag-
gerated with the wear of the clutch
surfaces. l can see an enormous adj
vantage as regards service and quick
replacement in Il truck using a center
unit combining all of the clutch.

VIRGINIA LEADS IN
CONVICT ROAD WORK
Virginia leads all States in the Union
In the matter OF convict labor on roads.
A larger mileage OF improved highways
has been constructed with the aid of
penitentiary and jail prisoners in this
State than In any other. Application
for a convict camp is made In each
case by the road authorities of the
county in which road Improvement Is
contemplated. An investigation is then
Instituted by the engineers of the High
| way Department, and, If approved.
| the men, varying in number from
thirty-fve to seventy-fve, are furnish
/ ed absolutely free of cost to the coun-
~, the only stipulation being that the
county furnish the necessary tools and
machinery.
| The last Legislature appropriated
| the sum of $4,000. known as the State
aid fund. which is distributed to the
various counties, not receiving the
| dement's OF convict labor. for use in
| the construction OF geod roads. 1t is
required by the law making the pro-
vision that the county in each in

The supervisors Of Stafford County

HARDWOOD Church. in Stafford, to the
Fauquier County line. The Fredericks-
burg Chamber of Commerce has ap-
pointed a committee, with G. w. Jones
chairman, t. raise $500 by private
subscription. Seven hundred dollars has
been subscribed In upper Stafford and
lower Fauquier: $500 has been sub
scribed here and subscriptions are still
coming in. The State OF Virginia will
furnish convict labor to do the work.
This road will bring important trading

ardent advocate Of better highways,

Improvement Of the States network of
roads.
Just now interest of local motor
lists and others centers in the improve
ment OF the Richmond petersburg
turnpike. the traffic over this link
between the two cities having grown
TO such proportions that improvements
must be made.
The City Council OF Richmond has
already appropriated $4,000 to help
Improve the turnpike, while public
spirited citizens have raised fund
OF $4,000 to aid In the work The
Board of Supervisors Of Chesterfield

FEDERAL AID WILL

came law and Virginia materially help

Tor this year. Is to receive from the
United States government the sum OF

receiving State aid. either in the form
of convict labor or money.
In addition to this, the Legislature
of 1916 passed what Is known as the
automobile maintenance act" under
which license fees received from auto
mobiles, motorcycles and garages are
set aside as special fund to be dis
tributed among the counties for the
purpose of road and fridge mainte-
pance. AS in the case of State aid, 1t
Is required that the county appropriate
an amount equal to that received from
the fund.
The counties, which are confronted
with the necessity of appropriating as
much money as the State for road con-
struction and maintenance. raise their
proportions. in a majority Of cases, by
the following plans:
BY appropriations from the general
funds of the county or district.
BY laying special county levy or
district levy for road purposes. This
is frequently referred to as the pay

BY the issuing OF county or magis-
terial district road bonds.

construction no definite policy or sys-
tenn has been followed-each road be-
ing constructed as n unit without ref
erence to any other piece OF road work
In the county or in the State. We be-
iieve that the time has now arrived
when the contrary should be the case,
and that a definite policy should be
pursued; that is. that no piece Of road
should be constructed in either
county or the state whole without
reference to every other piece Of work
in the State. In this way we will ac-
complish definite and well-defined ends.
1t, therefore, follows that our plans
should be laid along these definite
lines, correlating the various county
systems with the State system, and in
this way, within the course of the
next decade, we will see constructed
in the State of Virginia main highways
or arteries from the ocean on the east
to the border States on the west; main
arteries from Maryland and West Fir-
Ginia on the north to North Carolina
and Tennessee on the south. which.
taken together with the inter and
intra-county roads. will give us net
work of highways over which it will
be possible to travel at all seasons of
the year, and one Of which we may
feel truly proud. But to accomplish
this end we must have the cooperation
and assistance OF all of the citizens Of
the State interested in the development t
of the State. We must forget, If yon
please, that we are residents of any
particular town, city, county or COM
munity, and remember that we are
citizens of Virginia, working for her
! good and her development. that we may
pass to succeeding generations a work
in which they can take pride, and a
work which it will be their ambition
to carry on to greater development.

the merchant and banker, and up-to-
date schools have sprung up at points
which previously had been regarded
as inaccessible. Thus the social. edu-
cational and community life of the
State owes a debt to good roads. Vir-
ginia's economic life has been changed
by bringing the city nearer to remote
sections.
ISOLATED RoADwAYs
TO BE CONNECTED UP
Most sections Of the State have
caught the twentieth century spirit of
progress and discarded conditions of
an outworn age. and, while much has
been accomplished in the way OF road
Improvement. much also remains to be
done. There are still isolated road
ways which should be connected with
some OF the fine highways which have
been brought into existence In the past
decade, and to this end the State COM
mission is striving.
To aid the State in its preparation
for improving roads. the Federal gov
eminent. under the road act. will give
Virginia within the period OF five years
$l,500.000.
Practically the first rule laid down
Is in charge of the disbursement of
the Federal road funds. was the re-
quirement that a State shall have a
definite well-defined road policy and
| a comprehensive road system At the
last session of the Legislature the
Legislative Roads Committee. OF which
