is done correctly 1t will last for a num- Der of years. The maintenance of an earth road, however, is a never-end- ing job. It is like milking the COWS and doing other chores, for the builder knows that the work of maintenance will have to be done over and over again and can never feel that 1t is in any sense permanent.
 'For this reason the earth road has bad reputation. The trouble Is not SO much with the material of which the road is composed as with our syS- tem or lack of system of management. Other types of roads when treated as we treat the earth roads are much more expensive and serve the travelling public little if any better. The vast improvement that can be made on our present earth roads by intelligent di- -ection in their construction and main- tenance is little realized by the pub lie. and the serviceability of a prop erly maintained earth road is not ap- preciated when compared with other types of roads as to cost of construc- tion.
 Successful construction and main- tenance of any kind of a road depends lpon the recognition by the public and the builders of few fixed and funda- mental requirements.
 "One practical, well-paid road build er should be made responsible for the upkeep of a certain section of road and should be employed throughout the year. his tenure of office being made dependent entirely upon the character of services rendered. The graded portion of the road should be elevated and crowned so that the wa ter from every section of the road surface will flow into the side ditches."

YES! LIFT A CORN
 OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry up a corn or ealius SO 1t lifts
 of with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so 1t can be lifted of, root and all, without pain.
 A small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drug store. but will posi- lively take of every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as 1t is inexpensive and Is said not to irri- tate the surrounding skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

See That Wirino Is Protected.

Because oil has a disintegrating ef- feet, not only on rubber but on cotton and fabric as well, care should be ta- ken to see that the wiring for electric lighting and engine starting system is well protected. If oil is permitted to remain on the wiring the insulation will in time be softened so that the slightest chafing will cause the bare copper to be exposed and a short cir cult or a leakage of current follow.

SAVES HOTEL BILLS
BED WHICH MAY BE CARRIED BY
 TOURING AuToIsT.
Enclosed Within Tent, It Provides Complete Shelter From Wind and Rain, and Is Easily Carried
 on the Machine.

The delightful independence of tour ing in an automobile can be improved upon by means of an automobile-bed. Wherever nightfall overtakes the trav- eler. he can make up his own cot and sleep in his own tent, completely sheltered from wind and rain and with no expense for a hotel room.
 The metal frame of the bed is joint ed in the middle; and leg is attached at this point on either side. A cross bar connects the legs, so that they will swing together when the bed is being folded up. One end of the frame

Mark Parts as Removed.

When necessary to remove any part of a motor note carefully just how 1t was fastened on, and if necessary mark it with a punch so that there will be no doubt as to just where it be- longs. This applies especially to such parts as valves, valve filters, valve caps, etc, which look alike, but should be replaced in their original places.

 When not in use. the legs are swung up against the frame; the outer half of the frame Is folded over the inner half, or foot of the bed and the whole lifted to an upright position against the back of the tonneau. Small ratch- ct wheels at each of the joints are provided for holding the legs in posi- ton and also for locking the entire frame when folded up. Curtains are stretched over the frame to form a sort of box-tent, as shown in the H. lustration.-Popular Science Monthly.

Fifteen Days Too Many.

There is growing sentiment among the farmers of southern New Jersey against granting automobile license reciprocity to outside automobile own CTS, on the ground that much of the wear on roads is done by visiting mo- torists from other states, it Is report ed. It seems fairly certain that any attempt to extend the time of the 15- day reciprocity clause would arouse strong opposition among some of the tarmers.

Avoid Trouble With carburetor.

In most every gas line there Is a strainer or trap, either in the line itself or at the base of the carburetor. Few persons think to clean this occasion ally before trouble is encountered. The fuel contains more or less waste matter and trouble with the can be eliminated by clean ing this trap or trainer occasionally.

The following pointed remarks by
Messrs. Steinway & Sons are of APP
pealing interest:
THE strength Of a name Is well
illustrated in the fSEt that when IL is
known that a piano merchant in any
locality represent the Steinway piano.
his establishment at once has distinct
prestige. This is true not merely be-
cquse he has the agency for the most
noted piano IN the world. but because
if has been fixed policy that only
dealers Of reputation and standing in
their respective localities shall be an
pointed Steinway representatives In
other words. It is the association OF q
7iano OF worldwide fame with mer-
chant who has won a position and
standing In his particular locality
The combination Of the two makes the
warerOom where the Steinwav is dis
nlaved the natural rendezvous for
people OF the highest musical culo
