to appropriate county road funds.
 In many sections of Michigan there has sprung up 8 feeling that now is the time for the state itself to start building roads. Between the larger cities of the state because of the heavy truck hauling now going on as re- suit of increased operation of rural motor express. services, paved roads should be built immediately. The cost of them of course would be enormous in comparison with the est oof ordin- ary gravel roads, but in the end they will pay. The heavy truck hauling during the war showed that nothing but paved roads can stand the traffic.
 During the war, the state of Indi- ana cared for more traffic over roads than over the railroads, and it is un- derstood that the next legislature will be asked to enact comprehensive, all serving for a-unit highway law, supplying this state with a general system of base-line truck ways over which heavily loaded trucks, carrying grain. live stock, merchandise and manufactured articles can pass to all parts of the state. Transportation ac commodations must be extended 10 be of any value and must of necessity be made to increase. The next highway  commission law for Indiana will be drafted when the Hoosier State Auto mobile association and state chamber of commerce have concluded the pool ing of representatives of intelligence available in this state bearing on the sort of law that should be written. The 1 present appropriation is s, 3,250,00.

FRENCHMAN DIDN'T
 KNOW OUR VILLAGE

A big section of France must be re- habilitated. German shells and Ger man Wantonness have razed more than one thousand French villages and towns A Red Cross worker in a re- port illustrative of the utter devasta- ton, cites this instance: In company with a man who had owned a mill in a town Of about two thousand inhabl- tants. this worker returned to it after it had been evacuated by the Germans. The miller had lived his life in the town and knew every street, lane and house in it.
 When he reached his place" said the Red Cross worker, my miller friend had to get a surveyor to locate the site of his mill, so complete was the raging of every building in the town"
 The Red Cross is not going to un- dertake the task of rebuilding the vil- lages of France. But it has initiated on the human side a comprehensive plan of giving fresh start to those who have been left destitute by the ravages of the Germans, but who are able 10 work This is the plan: To be- gin by reconstituting sixty families of five members each in each of four vil- lages The hope and expectation is that they can be made self-supporting and that the movement will spread.

CLEANLINESS AND EFFICIENCY

The car owner should be careful to keep the exterior of the engine clean, as. well as the interior. Dirt, grease and general filth act as insulators, preventing the metal from throwing off heat into the air. Incidentally, this rule regarding cleanliness applies to other parts, such as rear axle, brake mechanism, etc. When mud is allowed to remain on brake rod clevises and other similar parts, it soaks up the oil designed to lubricate the joints. which become dry and wear excessively. All such parts as this must be cleaned regularly and have fresh oil applied to them.

FARMERS MUST HAVE MOTOR TRUCKS THAT
 WORK ALL THE YEAR

One of the demands that the farmer is making of his motor truck, which has become q part of his regular farm equipment, is that it must perform It's work twelve months year, lrreSpec- tive of the rainy periods of spring and fall and the snow and ice of winter.
 Which means that the northern farmer cannot submit to the llmita- tios of solid truck tire equipment that for several months in the year would not be able to conquer the severe road conditions.
 So here is where the pneumatic truck tire steps in and renders the motor truck practical for use in all-year- round farming operations.
 The degree of practicability of mo- tor truck, used for general farm trans port, is strikingly emphasized in the experience of Edward Schipporiet owner of 2S00-acre ranch near Scheding Nebraska, in the sand hill country. On this ranch a one-ton Goodyear pneumatic equipped truck is used in hauling livestock, feed and supplies.
 There are no roads worth mention ing either around the ranch itself or between the ranch and the nearest shipping point, 2 miles distant. Yet, during winter and summer, this truck has saved a great amount of hauling time and labor.
 When hurrying stock to the railroad, it makes two round trips. or l0S miles over cattle tramped sand hills, in a single day, replacing two teams which required two days of hard pulling to make one round trip. And the owner states that, due to the cushioning of the pneumatic tires and the greatly reduced time consumed in hauling the stock to the station. there is now less weight shrinkage in animals sent to Nstockyards, all of which represents a definite money saving.
 It is important to remember that i this particular record has been made in a region and down trails, where the use of solid truck tires, which spin in the soft ruts is absolutely imposai- ble, and where the snow covered sands are doubly treacherous on ac- count of their tendency to shift from i one point to another.
 The adaptation of pneumatic tires to the motor truck has enabled it to enter a field of unlimited possibilities for farm and country use, and the time is not far distant when hosts of farm CTS will number among their regular l farming equipment motor truck which, once installed, will become ar 1 indispensable aid in farming.

AUTOMOBILE SHOW |S
 BASED ON NEW ANGLE

Public interest in the motor car shows this year is based upon a. new angle. Instead of attracting crowds because of the novelties that are us- ually presented, the show goers this year are looking forward to the op- portunity of surveying the complete lines of passenger cars without any particular frills or furbeloWs
 The fact that few new models will be shown at the exhibits this year is attractive to los of show goers," says c. H. Reuben, dealer in Dort motor cars. There is a good sound reason back of their attitude. too. An auto- mobile show gives the buyer oppor- tunity to survey the entire field with out having his attention directed to some specially equipped job, which if he buys it, he will soon tire of and which does not represent in every de- tail the ordinary run of motor cars.
 T think show visitors this year will take more interest in the mechanical features of the display and less in the gee -SaWs, if there are any"

COLD WEATHER PRECAUTlON

Whenever the car is brought into the garage in cold weather the gasoline should be shut off at the vacuum tank outlet or at the main tank, and then the engine should be run long enough to draw all the gasoline from the car buretor and supply line This pre- vents moisture from accommodating in side the carburetor and supply line where it will probably freeze When this precaution is practised the car owner will be sure to turn on the gaso- line before starting and flood the car buretor before the start.

CUT-OUT VENT

Trouble is frequently experienced in cutting the vent for a muffler cut-out. A V shaped vent prevents free move ment of the butterfly valve used on so many cut-outs. Here is way of cut ting a satisfactory vent: Cut the ex- hause pipe with a hacksaw through half of the pipe diameter. Then saw a parallel slit and finally another diagonally across. In this way two points can be bent back and sawed off. o little asbestos packing makes a tight cut-out joint.

BRASS SPRINGS

Soft brass can be made into spring brass by hammering both sides lightly with q hammer, using a smooth solid block of some kind as an anvil. This produces a slight hard film, which gives the brass the quality of spring, but filing or grinding will remove this hard film instantly. This kink is use- ful in an emergency when a brass spring is needed and nothing but soft brass is at hand

RADIATOR LEAKS

A frequent cause of leaks in radiators is that the vents in the filling caps and overflows become choked with sediment, with the result that steam accumulates in the radiator and the pressure seeking an outlet. forces an opening at the weakest point.
