ins Thursday al the trial OF her

stockton Heth. jr., admitted pre-
FiOus intimacies with Heth. but de-
clared that a few minutes before
Heth received his death wounds he
mad attacked her. Mrs. Nawter
barring her life i'm defense of her
husband, said that she was infat-
uated with Heth. but always had
repealed his advances when not UNI
der the influence OF liquor.
Following the introduction We'd
nesday of letters written 10 Heth
by Nawter, in which the latter re-
called that he knew of the young
er mans relations with his wife and
at the same time asked Heth 10
pay a whisky bill. The defense began
introducing testimony 10 show Vaw-
ter insane at the time Several

Sees Hcth Embracing Wife.
The witness told of another occa-
\ sion when Nawter saw Heth tryins
10 embrace her. Vawter again de-
nounced Heth. and later Heth again
brought Vawter into his room and
put him TO bed. on the following
morning she said she found niger

ON the night of the tragedy, Mrs.
Vawter said, Heth was in the Vaw-
| ter home when she and her husband

Upon hearing Prof. Vawter NOV

UNCLE SAM ASSISTS
IN ROAD Bull DING

Now that Uncle Sem has definitely
set forth what the government will
do in the matter OF roads building
during the next five years. Il is Ger.
tain that during that period the Unit.
ed states will be the scene of the
greatest highways activity any nation
has ever known. -. Ill.
Uncle sam has agreed to srend
5000. 900 building highways in the
several states, provided the states will
spend $75.006. 200. the total to be $780,
G00, 900 spent for roads within the next
five years. or its SIS 5.000, 900 the gov
eminent will expend $I0,00G.000 in
roads in forest reserves. That the fed
eral proposition appeals TO the states
and thereby presages the nations
greatest highway building era. is con-
clusiyely shown in letters from the
various state highway departments to
the American Automobile Association.
This is the first assembled states
expression OF their plans under the
federal aid road act, and it shows that
the majority OF the states are going TO
join heartily with Uncle Sam in max
ing the nation present that will bene-
fit the people in either times OF war
or times of peace, economically or
from a pleasure-giving viewpoint:

AUTO MATERIAL
COST is CLIMBING

DENVER, Colo.-"Back Of the in.
creased cost of labor and materials,
which has been set forth as the prime
reason for many price advances In the
last year, Is a wide and deep sea OF
real truth in the automobile industry.
n for nothing more than prices and
material, market conditions this year
will be phenomenal in motor car his
tory"
II is in this way that Dick Sullivan,
distributor Of the Haynes automobile,
sums up the motor car manufacturing
aspect of the coming year.
ITO be specific about material
prices, says Sullivan, 'ft Is only ne
cessary to mention the open hearth
steel, used in automobile drop forg-
ings, which has gone up from $50 per
cent to 800 per cent. Next to open
hearth, nickel steel has given itself
over to making marked advances In
price. This material, used extensively
in making chasses, is resting tempor--
arily at marks doubling those Of last.
year
The aluminium market has fallen.
far short of being stationary, with its
present quotations tripling those OF
two years ago. Tires are higher, with
increased prices for crude rubber and
fabric. Leather, top materials, copper.
tubing. the sheet metal used in making
tenders, bonnets and dust pans are
from % to 100 per cent higher than in
previous years Then, with these adj
vances, the labor cost, which is the
largest single item in making a mo-
tor car. has increased by generous
percentage.
"A number of automobile manufac-
turers have. revised their retail list
figures, but vita this they are scarcely
keeping up with the procession. Prices
to the owners in rare cases have been
increased more than 10 per cent With
basic materials from one 10 three
times as high as they have previously
been and no material at standstill. it
looks as IL the car buyer will get more
for his outlay this year than ever
before

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
FEATURE OF NEW CAR

A feature OF the Marmon "a for
1917 is a device for controlling the
temperature of the water circulating
system-an important factor if maxi
mum performance and economy are to
~e achieved. The thermostat used is
a simple device which automatically
provides a minimum water tempera-
ture of l25 degrees Fahrenheit at all
times when the engine is running.

which comes into full play when the
water temperature reaches l75 de-

DANGER IN PERMANENT.
USE or EMERG GENCY PATCH

The importance OF the emergency
blowout patch as part OF the motor
ing equipment Is understood by all
experienced motorists When the
rlotorist discovers a clean-cut fabric
break. stone bruise or small cut
entirely through tread and fabric, he
simply applies the patch. inserts and
initiates the tube and continues his
trip .... ...-.- -.
But IL must be understood by the
tourist" says Walter Wise, manager
OF the Fisk Rubber Company. that
this patch Is for emergency. not for
permanent repair. At the end OF a
trip. during which an accident has oc-
Cured necessitating the use OF the
emergency patch, the tourist should
see that the patch is taken out and the
casing repaired properly at any vul-
canizing shop. In this way the emerg-
ency patch will have served its pur-
pose and the mileage giving qualities
OF the casing are not impaired.
''On the other hand. as the tire
causes him no further trouble, the
motorist Is likely to forget the patch
ha applied for emergency purposes.
The result OF this neglect would be
that by the natural flexing and bend
ing OF the tire the patch is forced into
the cut or break, wedging the fabric
apart until II becomes too weak to
resist the inside air pressure, and a
blowout occurs, ripping the fabric
apart 10 such an extent that II Is be-
yond repair. With careful treatment
the emergency fabric patch has. saved
the life Of many casing. but 1t has
also brought more than one to death
by thoughtless neglect
