while the heavy traffic Nas 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 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 than $45,00O,000 worth of mo-
tortrucks, to be used in road construc-
ton work, win 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 ac-
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 serviceable condition. They
will be apportioned to the states only
upon request of the state highway de-
partments on the basis of 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
road-buildlng program. This is the
largest appropriation ever made by any
government for similar purpose, say
road officials of the department of ag-
riculture.

Plans to FIGHT Hlah Cost of Foods.

Denver, Colo,-Denver Will have a
municipal food, meat and fuel market,
and perhaps a number of such markets
to cut the cost of living to consumers,
according to tentative plans announced
Friday, after a meeting of Mayor
Dewey @. Bailey and his cabinet. The
city administration will begin an i'm
mediate investigation to determine the
feasibility of the plan. The first step
would be the purchase of several car
loads of the canned foods to be of
fered at cost by the war department,
it was announced. Any enterprise in
which the city will engage along this
line will be copied after Seattle's mu-
nicipal fish market plan. The market
will be inaugurated within ninety days
unless the federal government acts to
bring down food prices, members of the
cabinet said.

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

When an engine starts to pump oil
and the spark plugs become fouled, it
Is not always the best and cheapest
plan to ct new rings. A good method
to overcome spark plug foullng 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 or ten holes are
drilled ut equal spaces around the De
riphery Of the piston. These holes are
drilled at the top o. the groove and at
an angle 80 they point upward and in
ward This groove win serve as a
wiper Of the excessive oil and the
holes viii drain the groove and. be-
cause Of their direction, win tend to
lubzieate the wrist-pin and the rod.

u. S. TROOPS ARE
NEEDED IN SIBERIA
VITAL ELEMENT IN MAlNTEN-
ANcE OF RAIL TRAFFIC AND
PREVENTION OF RIOTS.
President Wilson Replies at Length
to the Resolution Proposed by
Senator johnson of California
Recently Adopted.

Washington--Pre Wilson in.
formed the senate Friday, in response
to a resolution by Senator johnson of
California, that the presence of Amer
lean troops in Siberia was a vital
element" in the restoration and main
tenance of traffic on tile Siberian rail-
road and tat under the agreement
with Japan they could be withdrawn
only when The American railway ex-
perts operating the road we're with
drawn.
The president said Siberia could be
protected from a further period of
chaos and anarchy only by keeping
the railroad open, and that, lacking
the prime essentials of life, the people
there were looking to the United
States and the allies for economic as
sistance. This already is being ex-
tended and additional supplies are to
be sent forward.
Rowing bands having no connection
with any organized government in Rus
STA are meuacing the railroad, the
president said, and, consequently, pro-
lection by the military is necessary.
American troops, he said, now are en-
gagged in guard duty at Yladivostok
and around Verchne Udinsk. A small
body also is at Hardin.
The original purposes of the Ameri-
can military expedition, Mr. Wilson
wrote, were twofold: The saving OF
the Czecho-Slovak forces and the
steadying of the efforts of the Rus
slams at self-defense or the establish
mcnt of law and order in which they
might be willing to accept assistance.
Major General Graves, commanding
the expedition of 5000 men, was spe-
officially directed not to interfere in
Russian affairs, the president said,
but to support wherever necessary
