URGES WORK, VOTES
FOR GOOD ROADS
W. M. McNichoI Declares
Some One Must Pay for
Bad Ones.
SEES MOVEMENT BEGUN

Work and vote for good roads,"
urges w. NJ. McNichol, who has
charge of ship truck bureau in
this vicinity. ut costs something to
get them; it will cost intellectually
more to do without them.
Some one must pay for the bao
roads," said Mr.. McNichol yesterday
to a group of truck owners assembled
at his headquarters. Some one is
footing the bill now for the long de-
tours made necessary by impassa BILE
stretches of so-called highway; for
the extra time, gasoline. oil and re-
pairs involved in heightened trips;
for damaged freight. rotting fruit
and delayed food; ana that somebody
is the ultimate consumer. In other
words. you and I are the sufferers.
o. S. Provides $574, 900, 900.
"Of late, however, things nave be-
gun to move. AS you possibly know,
the United States government has set
aside $574.oo0.o00 to be used in the
next ext three three years, provided the states
are certainly doing their part.
so far at least $3S5,00 900 has
been accounted for, and that sum is
"vailable in 1919. During the month
culture approved 100 distinct good
road projects. fifty-five of which were
executed. i his brought the total num-
Der of such undertakings in the
United States to 1857.
L have referred to the larger as
poets OF the question, but the most
encouraging sign of all is the spring
ing up everywhere of smaller enter
prises-a few miles here, a few miles
there-webbing good roads already
IN existence into vast network of
splendid long motor routes And
these enterprises are innumerable.
Cites Examples of Enterprise.
"One of the best examples is the
stretch between Cleveland and Akron,
Ohio. About 1000 tons of freight
pass in motor trucks in every twenty
four hours. In central Kansas the
traffic in a certain locality has been
so heavy that trucks have been equip
ped with f1anges, which enable the
vehicles to run on railroad tracks.
To have it possible for such prog
ress to continue we must build and
build fast, so that our highways may
not become crowded, as our railroads
did.
Just now the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, which has spon-
sored the cause of better highways
for years, is performing a most i'm
portant part in this buddhist move
ment. A bureau of information has
been established at every branch of
the organization, where reliable in
formation may be obtained as to
motor express routes leading in
every direction. Truck owners may
register their names and the capacity
of their trucks. in order that shippers
may know just what facilities are to
be had in every part of the country.

THE EXPERTS SAY.

VI course no one likes to drive in
the rain, but sometimes IL ia necea.
sary At such times, one Of the worst
tnlngs to contend with is the lack of
vision. Those bothersome raindrops
simply will not let you look through
the glass. A very handy scheme to
overcome this is to carry always in
one of the car door pockets a small
bottle-about 4 ounces-of a mixture
OF glycerin and alcohol, about half
and half. When the rain drops get to
De a nuisance. wet cloth with some
of your solution and rub it down a
narrow strip of the outside of the
glass. just wide enough for you to
have good range of sight. Don't
cover the whole shield with it. The
idea is that the water will not remain
on the coated strip Of the glass. at
fording good enough vision through
as soon as it stops, look through the
uncoated glass at the sides of the
coated panel. This saves you wipinR
off the glass every few minutes, and
you are afforded a good view ahead
at all times. The glycerine-alcohol
you get ready to clean the shield after
the rain has stopped. 1t would be
good idea to wrap the applying cloth
around the bottle when you stow it
away in the door pocket against the
rainy days. 1t often is hard to find
a cloth when you want one.
There is an oversize tire that will
fit the same rim as any given normal
size of tire. For instance, if a car
takes 80 by 31s tires normally it will
also take 33 by oversize tires. For
a wheel that uses "a by AZ tires as
standard, the oversize shoe is a IS by 5.
| 1t is easy to determine what the over
size is by doubling the tire sectional
diameter and subtracting the result
from the outside diameter. The re-
| mainder, which is the rim diameter,
must be the same in both normal and
! oversize cases. For instance. in the
j last example given above. twice Az is
10. Subtract from "a and you get 25.
Similarly, twice S is 10. and this sub
tracted from IS gives IS. showing that
the rim will take the 35 by tire as
well as the "a by Az.
| An admirable litter for use in rails
ing the battery out Of the car may be
made by having what are known as
harness snaps riveted on the ends of
leather strap. perhaps an inch wide
y
When this is snapped into place it
makes a convenient handle for Jug
Cling the battery around.
1t often happens that the fuel line
rests against some more or less sharp
edge of the chassis. The vibration in
evitable when the car is in motion
causes a slight rubbing, which in time
wears the piping through and a
leak results. A break of this kind may
be repaired by wrapping the pipe with
soft wire for a couple of inches on
each side of the leak and then timing
the whole over with solder. This not
only cures the leak, but prevents fur
Their chafing.
1t is a very good plan to shift the
cross links Of the tire chains from
time to time. That is move them so
that they do not depend on the same
link of the main chain all the time.

! to install two or more battle plates in
the fuel tank to direct the flow of
liquid. The battle plates are generally
riveted and soldered in place.
Within the last year or so there has
come into considerable use what are
known as drawn" tanks. This con-
struction may be described as embody-
ing two deep pans joined together at the
f1angeS
The great virtue of this method Of
construction lies in the ability to pro-
duce all sorts of unusual shapes and yet
retain the essential strength. Irregu-
larity of form practically is inevitable
in tanks for cool installation, which is
considered desirable by many design
ers. The drawn tank costs more to pro-
Guce than the built-up types.
From the point of view Of the car
owner, about the most important mat
ter in connection with the tank is the
method of supporting 1t. The fuel tank
and it is subject to certain stresses
when the car is travelling at high speed.
A rear tank. for instance. must not be
supported too rigidly, as in the inevitable
heaving Of the chassis frame the joints
may be sprung.
Perhaps the most satisfactory method
of attaching the fuel tank is to use
straps or bands Of eighteen or twenty
gauge steel, an inch and a half wide
and lined with brake lining material to

tanks the designers have to employ
bolster plates to keep the supporting
straps from bending over the joints,
which would break them in short order
Tank "Mystery" Solved.
A car owner recently had a great deal
Of trouble with breakage of his fuel
tank. There seemed to be no reason
for the condition, but investigation
showed that the spring clip lit was a
rear hung tank was striking the seam
Of the tank, due to DETECTION and side
sway as the car travelled.
In dealing with the fuel tank it must
be remembered that while solder acts
admirably as a seal between two metals,
it cannot be called upon to stand I'D
under strains and stresses. 1t is not
intended for that purpose.
When a leak occurs in the fuel tank
the obvious place to look first is at the
soldered joints, provided the tank en-
bodies that form of construction. The
best way of handling seams that are to
be subjected to strains is by riveting,
supplemented by solder.
In tanks where the gasoline feed
tube enters at the top it is desirable to
brace it at the bottom. so as to minimize
vibration. The filler spouts also are
better placed in the body of the tank,
rather than on one Of the heads. With
! the spout on top of the body, no air
trap can form, which obviates trouble

time spreads the wear.
Throw out the clutch and turn the
front wheels in the same direction in
which the car is skidding. while at the

be slowed down just as quickly as
possible. Never make that often fatal
mistake Of jamming on the brakes as
soon as the skid begins to be felt.

MENACES ARE SERIOUS
Closing Of Factories and Probable Tic
10 of Transportation Systems, Are
Among Possibilities it Miners
Quit Work.

Washington. Oct 21.-When the
scale committees Of both the mine OPP
orators and the mine workers meet
with William B. Wilson. secretary OF
labor to discuss the threatened strike
in the bituminOus coal fields, mere
than the issue of the strike will be at
stake, it is clear to Washington. The
question involves all of the issues be-
fore the Industrial conference and all
of the newer remedies put forward by
the railroad brotherhoOds in the pro-
jected naturalization of railroads.
While the coal strike is pending, the
railroad men are understood to be
planning a last final demand upon the
Director General Of tile Railroad ad-
ministration before the roads are re-
turned to private ownership, with
threat of a strike in December with
the urging of the Plumb plan" OF
railroad control in the background.
The first sufferers from the coal
strike would be the factories and
general shut down of the mines would
undoubtedly tie up a great many
manufacturing industries, reducing
production and increasing the already
abnormally high cost of living. 1t
would also, it is anticipated, have the
effect OF putting many members Of
union labor out of EN- loyment and the
railroads of the country would soon be
compelled to suspend operation in part
and a long continuance Of the strike
would tie up the transportation sys-
TENS all together
These serious menaces to the strike
situation are not being overlooked and
congressional action is being looked
forward to as the logical result Of a
failure of the miners and operators to
get together
