duction will hardly catch up with
demand until 1920.
Eastern States to Keep Highways
Open.
Concerted action to keep high
ways open following snowstorms
during the coming winter is being
taken by the highway commissions
OF the eastern states, The impor-
lance of transportation by motor
truck and the overland delivery of
thousands of army trucks to Allan
tic ports last winter emphasized the
need of keeping the main highways
open for travel through the winter,
and eastern state highway commits
sloners believe that with the estab-
ltshment OF many rural motor eX-
press lines and parcel post routes
there will be continued heavy truck
traffic during the coming winter.
Highway commissioners, or their
representatives, from New York,
Connecticut Massachusetts,, Penn
sylvania and Delaware, recently met
with the Highway Traffic associa-
ton of the state of New York and
reported that plans had been made
% keep the most travelled roads open
every day this winter. OF all
appropriate ton of $l,000.000 made by
New York State for maintenance OF
routes used by army transport
trucks, $4,000 is available for snow
removal. In Connecticut the cost
of snow removal on 1000 miles Of
highway aggregated about $4,000
last winter, or approximately $50
mile.
The establishment of rural routes
and the increasing use of trucks and
passenger cars for essential bust
ness command the attention of high.
way engineers" said Charles J.
Bennett, highway commissioner of
Connecticut, and the snow removal
problem becomes a vital issue to be
solved at once"
Pennsylvania Sets Example.
Pennsylvania last winter set an
example in keeping the mountain
routes open for army and CONNER
clal traffic. 1T should no longer be
an optional matter with the road
officials in charge of our highways"
said George H. Bliss, deputy high
way commissioner for the state.
for when we consider the enormous
winter on some of the roads, argu-
ment is unnecessary. An actual
traffic census taken on one
of our highways when the tempera-
ture was Is degrees below zero
showed that more than 1000 We
hicles passed over the road in II
hours.
The United States weather bureau
has made plans to furnish daily re-
ports of the depth of snow or ice
on the roads and their general con-
dltlon to the automobile clubs in
Pennsylvania this winter, for the
benefit OF truck and passenger car
drivers. Forecasts of approaching
storms will also be supplied daily
to the superintendent of highways
at Harrisburg, who will instruct his
snow-hghting forces accordingly.

MANY CAR FIRMS
RESUME USUAL
Lines OF WORK
Turning Rapidly from War
Work to Production of Cars
and Trucks to Sup
ply Civilian Needs.

Washington, D. c., Dec. Elm
mediately following the signing of
the armistice, the manufacturers Of
passenger automobiles and motor
trucks began taking prompt action
to resume the production of cars
and trucks to meet civilian demands.
Some have asked the government
to cancel part of their war contracts
and the war industries board au-
thorized a so per cent increase in
the production of passenger auto
mobiles previously allowed for e
last half of 1918, and announced f''e
removal of priorities for materials,
so there would be the least possible
delay in resuming normal produc-
ton, according to officials of the
National Automobile Chamber of
1t is anticipated, however, that
several months will be required to
secure deliveries of all the materials
and parts needed to get back on full
production basis and that it will
hardly be possible for manufacturers
to build more passenger cars by the
first of next year than the allowance
authorized by the board, nor more
motor trucks than the average rate
of past production.
Output Decreases in 1918.
In 1917 there were produced L.
$4,000 passenger automobiles and
100000 commercial motor vehicles.
whereas under the war restri> ons
this year the total output of pas
senger cars will be slightly less than
100000 or 100000 fewer than in
1917 There was no enforced lin
itation of truck production until Ia it
August, except that many assem-,
blers were unable to obtain deliver
les of engines, transmisIons and
aXles. Trucks produced and sold for
civilian use only last year totalled
100000, while this year they will
reach l8200O-an increase of 81 per
cent. Production of passenger cars
and trucks by quarters in. 1918 is

After Carbon Removal.

Sometimes the owner of car
having a detachable head engine,
after scraping out the carbon and
getting the motor to going again,
finds that there is water leak at
the head and that the power plant
does not run as we'll &c before he OPP
Grated upon it. The reason for this
is probably that PARTICLES of carbon
have got into the stub holes or
around the studs. With bits of car
bon lodged here the cylinder head
cannot be properly frightened, with
the result that there are leaks at this
point. The remedy is obvious.

STAMFORD LAWYER
 IN WILL SCANDAL
Wexler Said to Have Admitted
 Aiding in Fake

New York, Feb. 21.-Edlth F. Rangers contest of the will of her brother, Henry W. Ranger, the Amer jean artist, took a sensational turn yesterday when aff1davits were filed in the surrogates court alleging con spiracy to force through the court a fake will dfsposing Of the artists es- tate of more than $250,000.
 In an affidavit submitted yesterday by Martin w. Littleton, counsel to Charles Henry Phelps, attorney and sole executor of the estate, Charles N. Wexler, a Stamford, Conn, lawyer, confesses he was party to a scheme to place the fraudulent will on the records, thereby giving to Edith F. Ranger the bulk of her brothers es- tate in trust the principal to go at her death to the National Academy of Design.
 Ranger died Nov. T, 1916. His will. made a year before his death, gave to the National Academy of Design his entire estate to be used in the pur- chase of paintings by Americans. Though she filed notice of a contest. Miss Ranger did not appear in court and the document was admitted to probate in April, 1917. Last October Surrogate Fowler heard argument on her motion to reopen the default, she having meanwhile filed affidavits by persons in Rochester and WeedspOrt, N. Y, stating they had seen a later will by Ranger leaving the entire es- tate to his sister.
 Has Copy of Later Will.
 Miss nnlio6 a 9Ct1 leave to present in court additional affidavits, She also submitted what purported to be a carbon copy of a will made by her brother on January 6, 1916. Later she withdrew the mo- ton though the papers and alleged copy remain on file.
 Surrogate Fowler issued an order yesterday directing Miss Ranger to show cause on Monday why there should not be 8 reargument of the motion to reopen the default, and further, to show cause why there should not appear in court all the persons who made the affidavits in which they declared they hear Ran ger read the alleged new will.
 MT. Littleton attached to his appli- cation for the order to show cause an affidavit by Herbert H. Valentine, formerly a Stamford realty dealer now living in California. Valentine s name was signed by Wexler to the alleged faked will as a witness. His affidavit declares he did not witness the instrument, never saw and did not know either of Ranger Or of the will.
 In the papers filed by Miss Ranger in support of her claims are affidavits by Mrs. Louise Whitemore and Henry P. Ranger uncle of the artist, in which they declare that in Janu- ary, 1916, shortly before his death, the painter went to their home in the village of Weedsport and at dinner read to them 8 will in which he left his estate to his sister.
 Wexler says in his affidavit he promised R. IT. C. Cunningham. to whom he was under obligation, to do what was requested by Charles w. Myer. New York lawyer represent ing Miss Ranger. Wexler says he met Myer on January IA of this year in Stamford.
