NEED NOT FIT NEW RINGS
Comparatively Easy Matter Of Over
coming Spark Plug FouIlns From
Oil Which Leaks Through.

When an engine starts to pump oil
and the spark plugs become fouled, 1t
is not always the best and cheapest
plan to fit new rings. A good method
to overcome spark plug fouling from
the oil which leaks through and one
that does not require the fitting of new
rings is given herewith.
The piston Is taken out and conferred
up In the chuck of a lathe and a
groove is cut in the skirt of the pis-
ton. Then eight oil ten holes are
drilled at equal spaces around the pc
rlphery of the piston. These holes are
drilled at the top of the groove and at
an angle so they point upward and in
ward. This groove will serve as a
wiper of the excessive oil and the
holes will drain the groove and, be-
cause of their direction, will tend to
Intricate the wrist-pin and the rod.

while the heavy traffic was kept NOV
ing.
The extensive use of motortrucks
for transportation during war time has
emphasized the possibilities of we'll
built roads as a means of marketing
farm and other products. Solving road
problems when there was a constant
procession of heavily loaded trucks
travelling over them has been a great
lesson to road officials, which will be
put to good use in peace times.
The federal aid bodybuilding pro-
gram for this year is the most stu
pendous in the history of the world.
The expenditures for road.construction
for the year are likely to reach $780,
100000. Plans have been made for the
construction of continuous highway
systems, the states through which the
highways are to pass cooperating with
each other as never before. Improved
roads will not terminate at state lines,
but will run from one large marketing
center to another.
Free Trucks, Added Appropriations.
More thar $45,0 900 worth of mo-
| tortrucks, to be used in road construc-
ton work, will be distributed by the
| secretary of agriculture through the
bureau of public roads to the state
highway departments. These trucks,
about 10000 in number, have been de-
clared surplus by the war department,
and all that the states must do to &C
quire them is to pay the loading and
freight charges. The trucks range in
capacity from two to five tons, 1000
of them are new, and all are declared
to be in s~erviceable condition. They
will be apportioned to the states only
upon request of the state highway de-
partments on the basis of a request re-
ceived from the respective states with
the appOrtionment provided in the fed
eral aid law approved in 1916. The
requirements of the law are such that
none of the trucks will be distributed
to counties or Individuals.
Further interest in the nationwide
need for good roads Is shown by the
fact that shortly before the last ses-
sion of congress adjourned that body
made an extra appropriation of $780,
100000 in the post office appropriation
bill to meet the federal part of the
bodybuilding program. This Is the
largest appropriation ever made by any
government for a similar purpose, say
road officials of the department of ag-
ri%culture.
, 1919-07-31

The a who never gets out of
the man who has yet to see a city sky
scraper, should be a booster for better
roads. Highways r used in trans
porting practically every article of
food at some stage in its journey to
the consumers table. Bad roads add
to the cost of transportation, but good
roads cut marketing cost.
From the time when farm products
were first hauled in wagons to markets
there has been an interest in better
roads as a means of reducing the cost
of transportation, but improved high
ways mean more now because of the
extensive use of motortrucks in haul
ing products from the farm to the
railroad station or direct to the city
markets. Trucks are not only replac-
ing horse transportation but in many
cases they are supplementing and even
doing the work Of railroads. In fact,
motor trucks offer a solution of mod
ern transportation problems, but roads
built only-for horse-drawn vehicles or
light automobiles will break down I'M
der heavy motor traffic.
Maintenance Of thousands of miles
of roads so that the enormous govern
ment and commercial truck traffic of
the past two years could has
taxed the abilities and called forth
every energy and plan on the part Of
highway officials. In many states Off
Gals found themselves without suffi-
cient funds to handle properly the re-
pair and rebuilding work necessary.
Nearly all of them had to struggle I'M
der the handicap Of an insufficient la
Dor supply, and all had to meet the
increased cost of labor and material.
War Lessons Aid In Peace.
Only a few states were unaffected
by the restrictions on the supply and
transportation of materials which had
to be brought from a distance. None
escaped the difficulties which followed
the great and rapid increase in traffic
at this country's entrance into the
war. From New England to the Pa
cifc coast new demands were made
upon the highways, and unusual con-
ditions developed everywhere in main
tenance and construction. In several
states high type roads, which had orig
inally been constructed without suffi-
cient foundation to meet the new de-
mands, had to be rebuilt, and part of
this construction work was carried on
