AUTOMOBILE OWNERS. FAVOR PASSAGE OF. FEDERAL ROAD BILL.

WASHINGTON, b. C., Feb. 1S.-- .That a preponderatins majority of the six million passenger car and mo- tor truck owners of the country will support the Townsend bill in the six ty-sixth congress is practically as- sured," asserts President David John l son of the American Automobile asso- ciatior, which represents motorists generally in national organized form.
 Ever since the A. A. A, in January, 1912. called the first federal aid In roads convention in the capital city, there has been a steady and logical progress toward comprehensive par ticipation in highways betterment by the national government" according to Mir. Jameson, who then goes on to say:
 The explanation of this development is exceedingly simple and consists mainly in the fact that we now utilize for passengers and freight road ve- hicles which disregard county sub divisions and state lines. There must be a distribution of highways author ity among the several subdivisions. In our own councils we have repeatedly discussed the proposition that there should be no smaller unit than the WHICH iUtSl COuubS roads. then state roads, and, finally, federal roads.
 "On the way to federal system. we are following out a partnership with the several states by which equal amounts of federal and state money are spent in the creation of state sys- terms. This was preceded by a joint arrangement between the state and it's counties, until finally the state in many instances has taken over the main market roads. Exactly the same thing is certain to result from the present federal and state cooperation, and this is fundamentally set forth in the bill just introduced by Senator Charles E. Townsend of Michigan. the probable chairman of the senate committee on post offices and post roads in the next congress. The measure introduced by | him calls for a federal highway sys- l tenn which will provide not less than 1 two main trunk line roads in each ! state and joining the federal highway | system in the adjacent states ana ! countries The commission is to con- | sist of five members, geographically | distributed, and not more than three of the same political utilization. The | terms of office will expire in such manner that only one commissioner
 would be appointed at a time, after the commission had been created. The
 appointments are to be made by the president and confirmed by the senate,
 with the term in office seven years. ! This commission would take over all existing federal road activities. engage
 a chief engineer and other engineers,
 and the commissioners would give | their entire time to their duties.
 These provisions will give an idea of the scope of the measure, which.
 in my opinion, will not only have the
 support of the motor road users, but will obtain the endorsement of all or
 ganizations which have to do with highways progress"

NEW CLASS OF BUYERS. IN AUTOMOBILE WORLD.

The automobile industry has a new class of purchasers to consider-a class whose motor car experience was born of the war and whose mechanical knowledge was gained under circum- stances that imprinted on their minds the many uses the automobile can be put to. its utility and what to look for in the component parts of motor car construction" says G. A. Kissel. presi- dent of the kissel Motor Car company.
 'I refer 10 the members of the American Motor corps division who have in the past year learned the A 2 Cs of motor car construction and oper- alton, from the ground up. There are several hundred thousand of these young men who represent future pur- chasers and users of automobiles, and who will make their purchases accord ing to the expert advice they learned from Uncle Sam. Tra nsmissions. diff ferentials, gear ratios, every part of the automobile chassis are like an open book to them.
 Practically every automobile manu- facturer who was on government work al enc time or another had scores of these young men right in their plants learning the construction of the differ. ent automobile ports. As one promin ent automobile official said 10 me re- gently: They represent the new era Of the automobile industrv For some tune past the manuf~ cturers have felt that If owners understood more thor. oughly the mechanism of the cars the, drove. the abuses they unconsciously gave their cars, half the troubles of owners would be eliminated. half of Americas service and parts expense would be stooped and the nations gas oline and oil bill reduced"

NEWFOUNDLAND HAS

CBoston Tronscrint

tBoston Transcript
 HdS any community, large or small | excelled Newfoundland in the great ness of its voluntary sacrifice of life curing the war? In proportionto popu- iation, perhaps no other has given so many brave men to the cause of free ooIn. The number is not impressive Tn itself but it is seen to reach a con- splcuous moral height when measured by the principle that proved the yalne or the widows mite" Britain's old- est colony has given so gererousl,, of her manhood for more than three years, and her gallant regiment has been reduced to q thin line by death and disablement that the question of her ability to continue the filling of the ranks has become a matter of grave consideration. We can not greatly blame the Newfoundlanders if they do not volunteer with the alacritv and enthusiasm that distinguished the early enlistments.
 When the war broke out, 1000 able seamen joined the British navy. and 50o volunteers began the formation of the Newfoundland regiment. The number of the seamen has been in creased since then. and they have had thelr share in the naval actions. With m a year the regiment was HOO strong. Kitchener reviewed it with satisfaction and sent it to the Dardanelles. where 1t captured Caribou hill, the farthest point of advance, and at the last formed part of the rear guard cover ing the retirement at Cape HelIes. Co., ing to France, the NewfounGlanders were awarded positions of honor, meaning danger. with the most trusted regiments. In the attack at Beaumont Hamel on July l, 1916. they were caught among German wire entangIe- ments and machine guns, and of the Sl1 men who went into battle only B answered at roll call next day. New foundland did not finch. By October she had her reinforced regiment in line on the Somme, and in October if paid it's debt to the enemy in the cap- ture of Guedecourt. Exactly six months. later. holding the foremost position at Monchy, the regiment flung itself against a whole German division and by it's heroic sacrifice broke the count CT attack.
 Such were the deeds that accounted for the remarkable observance of Newfoundland week" in London. And now the islanders who since the war began have sent 6,000 men to the front 1l coltSlutilHS tile question or dQOpt- ing the Canadian plan of selective con- scription for the maintenance of their strength nthe firing line. As the colony has a coalition government un- embarrassed by party spirit, the intro- duction of the selective draft may not be difficult. But action will be deferred until the return of the premier, Sir Ed ward Mohhis who was recently with us in the United States but is now in England. There he has told the Lon- doners that he was watching the Americans at the work of gearing m their war machine" which in many respects is going to be the most powerful thing of it's kind the world has ever known We hope his words will come true. And our hope for Newfoundland is that she will be able to maintain her enviable reputation in the field and be our trusty comrade till the end of the war.

THE RUNNING GEAR

It has often been remarked that the average car owner knows too much about the motor and that this knowI- edge tends to make him forget and neglect the clutch, gear set and the rest of the power transmission system. Certain it is that universals, brakes, wheel bearings and many other not easily accessible parts are generally forgotten until something goes wrong with them. The owner does not wait for bearing cap to fall off before he fills the crank case with oil, and simi- larly he should not wait until there is play in the universals before he gives it supply of grease and graphite. T. is difficult to keep the universals well fabricated, even when the housing is
 periodically filled. Similarly tlrere

will be no bucking, due to end play in the propeller shaft assembly or clutch if the parts are properly fabricated and kept so from the start. Give weekly oiling to the joints in the braking system from pedal to bands;
 repack the wheel bearings four or five times year, after flushing out the bearings with kerosene Finally keep your eyes open for special lubricating

PROTECT THE BATTERY

While the storage battery is general ly immune to freezing, because of the acid in the electrolyte, when a bay tery is nearly discharged it will freeze at about zero, so that the owenr of a battery which he suspects is pretty well run down should take the pre- caution of protecting it with a blanket or heavy robe when the thermometer shows signs of going down.

BREAKER ADJUSTMENT

When it is found that the contact breaker cannot be properly retarded at slow speeds without producing a knock in the engine the only remedy is to reset and move the piston furth- CT along on the firing stroke. A few and careful noting of how the engine pulls after each will demon strate the correct setting.

Friction wear in the single plate clutch may be remedied by throwing out the clutch, stacking the adjust ment bolts; tap either of them clock wise in the slot on cover perhaps a quarter or half an inch thus shifting the ring which carries the levers and rollers to new seats on thicker sections of the thrust ring, thus compensating for the wear

"Surface'' Cuts

When casing is badly cut by glass or other sharp objects it should be removed and permanent repair made, by an expert repair man. Otherwise the tire may blow out unexpectedly. Cuts that seem super ficial many times actually penetrate one or more layers of fabric thus weakening the entire structure, the consequence of which Is early blowout, usual ly when you arc in the biggest hurry.
