traffic. since al accurate measure Of
impact damage therefrom will be pos
sible.
The experiments will cover a wide
range. taking into account four fac
tors-those of speed. height of fall,
type of tire used and the weight Of
the transportation unit.
Under the last heading it will be
necessary for the bureau to consider
distribution of weight above and un-
der springs and on back and front
axles. a quantity which is decidedly
variable on different makes of motor
and horse-drawn vehicles. The bureau
has called upon the national automo-
bile chamber of m to assist
In the collection of this data. much
of which has not been generally tabu-
lated, and a questionable has been
sent to all motor truck manufacturers
Of America on this subject. Immedi-
ate attention to this has been request
ed In order to facilitate the expert
ments.
In the initial stages of the work the
pack has been measured by the per-
manent reformation Of one-half by
one-half inch copper cylinders placed
under a steel plunger subjected to the
impact of traffic. A varying height of
fall is arrived at by different take-offs
for the machine. First experiments
indicated a wide range In the force
Of Impact as between units with solid
tires and pneumatics.
Working from these first steps the
bureau officials plan to perfect a ma
chine which will take into account the
factors mentioned and which will en-
able them to provide a constant sue
cession Of impacts on selected slabs
or paving compositions. This will en-
able the experiments to proceed much
more rapidly than would be possible
under actual road conditions. Tests
will be made on ~horse-drawn as well
as motor-driven vehicles.
In addition to the above expert
ments another series is planned to de-
termine the wearing qualities of differ
ent types Of road surfaces when sub
jected to very heavy traffic.

importance, but as a dependable. sub
stantial and self-respecting citizen,
wisely regardful of his OWL and his

universal is the hOme-lOving instinct
that 1t might almost be said there is
something wrong morally with the mar

our patriotism by building, there has
been a tremendous revival in the sen

Subtreasury Checks and Checks Of

Printing Office - Confession
Reveals Amazing Plot.

Chicago.-An amazing story of for
gerry and counterfeiting. carried on by
a band of % men in the federal prison
in Fort Leavenworth. was revealed
in this city through the arrest of sew
eral of the participants.
The arrests, which were made after
six weeks work by Peter Drautzberg
and w. G. Harper, assistants to Capt.
Thomas |. Porter, chief of the Chicago
district of the United States secret
service, turned up the entire conspir-
acy.
The forgery, from which perhaps
100000 has been realized through the
use of many names of prominence, in
volved the printing of 900 ~subtreasury
checks, calling for 500 each, as well
as checks on private concerns. such
as the United Fruit company of New
Orleans. The printing of these was
done in the prison printing office at
Fort Leavenworth.

On a large number of the phony
checks the name "C. Shelton Williams"
was written. These checks passed
more readily than any, it being hastily
assumed by the recipient that II was

A new series of experiments. which
may have a ~far-reaching effect upon
transportation on the highways and
the regulation thereof, has been un-
dertaken by the bureau of public

The work, which is being done by
the division of road materials, test
and research, is designed to demon
strate the damage done to highways
by different forms of transportation

NEED NOT FIT NEW RINGS
Comparatively Easy Matter Of over
coming Spark Plug FouIing 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 centered
up In the chuck of a lathe and a
groove is cut in the skirt of the pls-
ton. Then eight or ten holes are
drilled at equal spaces around the pc
riphery 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 road-buildlng pro-
gram for this year is the most stu
pendous in the history of the world.
The expenditures for road Reconstruction
for the yea are likely to reach $780,
0O0,0 600. 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 $4,000, 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, nave 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, II 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 a request re-
ceived from the respective states with
the apportionment provided In the e d
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-
fculture.

re ascertained by consulting the local
contractors and material dealer. Ma
terial and labor costs vary In differ
ent localities, but no matter where the
farmer lives he will find that this
house is comparatively inexpensive to
build, while. at the same time, 1t will
make a comfortable. convenient and
attractive home.
Much has been written and more
has been said about the advantages Of
building modern homes on the farms.
When a farm home is to be built. how
ever there is no good reason why II
should not embody the features that
n axe for comfort and ease In doing the
work required to keep 1t up. When
these advantages are put into a de-
sign for a farm home, 1t would seem
foolish to build anything else.
Building a home is something that
most farmers do only once In a life
time. Before building, therefore. II
Is wise to make a careful study of
home designs. Consideration should
he given to the size and number Of
rooms required; but greater thought
should be expended on making the room
arrangement compact and labor-saving.
In this way the new home will be sat
isfactory to everyone who is going to
live In II.
Now is an excellent time to build.
Prices of both material and labor will
not be less for a number Of years to
come, If In this generation. Just so
long as foOdstuffs cost as much as they
do now, labor. which Is more than 80
per cent of the cost of building, will
require living wages. Those wages will
come down only when the price Of food
IL reduced, a condition that no pro-
Queer wants to see.
