Roads as a National Asset" telling how the recent good roads convention at Chicago proved to be a magnifying glass that showed up Americas lack of good roads)
 What the coming peace conference in Europe will accomplish for world freedom. the recent joint conference of the highway industry association and American association of highway off, cials at Chicago accomplished for the motor trucks freedom
 The plan resolved upon by both highway associations was to ask the next congress for. an appropriation of $500, ,000 900 to build a federal highway system When carried out it wont be long. before the motor truck will be given a square deal in the matter of improved highWays-it will be able to render the caliber of service that is built into it-it will be able to deliver goods and merchandise in shorter time and at a reduced cost per ton mile all because it will not have to negotiate roads over which a truck should never be driven.
 During the last two years we have realized what the motor truck has been up against in the matter of highways, but in spite of poor roads the motor truck has. made records that were thought impossible. It has accom- plished results in the face of conditions it should never have been asked to face.
 It has become an economic necessity with nothing in it's favor as far as right -of-ways go.
 Forty-six states were represented at this convention. There were 1,500 men who were in constant attendance. They represented every section of the coun try. Many of them came to the con- VentiOn to find out how Illinois put over $60OOO,O00 good roads bond issue at the polls, so they could go back to their own states and start the ball rolling for local good roads bond issue.
 This getting rid of poor roads to give the motor truck d regular chance to perform was one of the main topics O. the convention. It was perhaps the first real convention since America en- tered the war. Through all these long months American industries and busi- ness men have had to contend with poor roads-pay exorbitant transpor tation charges because of unimproyed highWays-often had to do without supplies and equipment because pool roads prevented delivery.
 Naturally this muddy state oi mind" has shown that right here il the United States is some very i'm portant reconstruction work to do. il America is to solve her transportation problems.
 It took a world war to demonstrate 10 America her lack of good roads We had to have it forced upon us l through the overburdened railroads when we immediately loaded up the motor truck and sent it on it's way over highways not built to stand sucf i traffic-over roads that would stall 2 i tractor.
 | Their performance under such ad verse conditions opened our eyes. l l they could deliver the goods over@sucl l roads, what could they do over i'm 1 proved roads?

USE COLD AIR

Many car owners in winter adjust the shutter on the hot air tube so that hot air only is fed. In some cases this is necessary. but where the en- zine will assimilate a certain amount of cold air this should be fed, because cold air gives a higher volumetric ef- ficiency than hot air and gives more power It will be found that many engines after getting under way on hot air will run perfectly well on cold air. The owner should experiment and find just how much cold air he can use and then turn on that amount.

Attorney General Seeks h. junction To Prevent Com pany Abandoning Line As Warned In Recent Notice

Acting on the Grand avenue experi- encc," the state of Arizona, at the re- lation of Attorney General Wiley E. Jones, yesterday instituted injunction proceedings against the Phoenix Rail way company and secured a temporary order from Judge Stanford by which the corporation will be restrained from discontinuing it's Second avenue operations.
 In granting the temporary order, the court directed the corporation to .ap- pear Friday morning at $50 o'clock to show cause why an interlocutory in junction should not issue and q perma- nent injunction when the final hearing is held.
 The court action is based on a notice to the public by the railway corpora ton in which it was announced that the Second avenue line might be tenn POrarily abandoned in the near future because of the paving operations on Fillmore street contemplated by the city commission. The notice further stated that paving would necessitate the rebuilding of tracks and that the Company was in no position to rebuild.
 Hardship to People
 The COupialnt set lOrJn that many persons, acting on the inducements of fered by street car transportation, had built homes on Second avenue, and that if the line were discontinued it would work hardship on these people. It reviewed the Grand avenue case, in which the traction company defied the orders of the corporation commission, charging it with lack of jurisdiction, and stated that the company had not and did not intend giving the corpora tion commission notice of it's intention to discontinue, had not asked permis- sion of the commission, and that, un- less restrained, 1t would discontinue Arizona.

IMPRACTICAL TO MAKE. POTASH FROM SHRUB.

Some time ago the Chamber of Com me1ce received an inquiry from a man ip Blythe, California. asking about the poSs Utilities of potash made from gre4sewood. This letter was referred to the College of Agriculture at Tue son, and Dr. A. E Vinson writes as follows:
 I've are not aware that any potash is being prepared in this state from the ashes of native vegetation. Further more, we do not believe it practical to prepare potash commercially in this way. The yield of vegetation on uncul- tivated lands is usually light.
 Since the war is over, I am of the opinion that potash will be a dead is- sue, unless the price is maintained ar tficially by high tariffs.
 T note that you mention greasewood as a source of potash. If you really mean greasewood. this plant does not occur in Arizona except in very small amounts in the extreme north. The commonest plant on our mesas is the creosote bush, which is sometimes CT roneously spoken of as greasewood."

USE THE RIM

In cases where tire failure makes it necessary 10 come home on the rim the owner should do just that. Many drivers think that it is better to re- move the rim and come in on the fel- Joe. This is a mistake, a damaged rim is cheaper to replace than an in jured felloe. As a general thing the rim can be repaired, but the felloe us ually has to be replaced after one of these trips.

FAN BOLT FASTENER

At each end of the belt to be joined make a number of separate wire loops, running at right angles to the end of the belt. When the ends thus fitted are brought together the alternate loops form a passageway through which small rawhide thong is passed. This thong becomes notched with service so that it does not slip out

LOCKING NUTS

In some locations and on some cars even spring washers do not hold the nuts in place for more than a brief period. By pouring molten tar all over the protruding threads of such nuts until they are filled in it will be found that the nuts will be held securely for some time.

OIL LEAK

On certain makes of engines a broken valve cover plate stud will cause a leakage of oil that may escape attention for a long time. In cases where the valve mechanism is oiled by spray from the crank case the gasketed valve cover plates prevent oil leakage while the engine is running. But if one of the studs breaks or q wing nut becomes loose the cover plate also loosens and the oil works it's way out.

LIGHT ON TIRES.

Not all owners know that light is an agent directly hostile to rubber. Rubber men say that light acts on rub Der as a catalytic agent, causing rapid deterioration. The moral is that spare tires should always be protected, not only from water and oil but from light as well. Dark covers or carriers are preferable to light ones.

time during the coming year In the
intensive study of our own State.
NOW MY OWN STATE should be
the slogan for 1920. An intensive
study Of Maine history and Maine
civics should be offered. nor should
we forget these lessons Of patriotism
which all young Americans should
learn in order to fully appreciate
government of free institutions.
Every school in the State should
hold celebrations, preferably on the
18th of March, the date of Names
admission to the Union. However, 1t
may be more convenient for num-
Der of the schools to hold celebra-
tons in June in connection with
Commencement exercises; especially
might this be true of High schools
and academies.
An historic project should be un-
dertaken in each town by all of the
schools of the town in cooperation;
the work should be undertaken from
the standpoint Of the sources and
not Sc. much from narrative. Pupils
should be encouraged, note book in
hand, to seek information from all
reliable sources of the beginnings OF
the town, where the first settlers
we're located, who they were, and II
any of their descendants are still res
idents of the community. The stu
dent may interview the Oldest in
habitants and record their story. He
may photograph old buildings, trace
old trails, and old maps of transfers,
and write them up in brief well
written story. Old records may be
searched for unique transfers, old
curios. including furniture, utensils,
ETC., may be collected.
Many of these sources of history
will form interesting features for
the thoughtful young student. In
the old court house at Wiscasset
there is a record of deed given by
an Indian Chieftain Matahonoda to
William Bradford in 1872. The con-
sideration of the transfer is also in
teresting. it consisted Of two hogs
heads of provisions. one .hogshead of
bread. one hogshead of peas. one gall
lon of wine. and one bottle of strong
| waters the tract conveyed was fif-
teen miles square on the cast of the
kennebec.
Very soon an outline Of study will
be presented for use in our schools,
| it will include beth history and civics
| Special exercises should consist of
patriotic addresses. stories of the
great men and great women of
Maine, the dramatization of local and
| State history, addresses on pioneer
days, historic carnivals and pageants
| conveying local and State themes.
