ing.
The extensive use Of motortrucks
for transportation during war time has
emphasized the possibilities of we'll
built roads as 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 reconstruction
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 $45,000,000 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, 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, 11,0OO
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 1915. 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 5000,
100000 in the post office appropriation
bill to meet the federal part Of the
road-building program. This is the
largest appropriation ever made by any
government for similar purpose, say
road officials of the department of ag
riculture.

NEED NOT FIT NEW RINGS
Comparatively Easy Matter Of Over
coming Spark Plug Fouling 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 conferred
up In the chuck Of lathe and a
groove is cut in the skirt Of the pis-
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-
canse of their direction, will tend to
lubricate the wrist-pin and the rod.

The man. Who never gets out Of
sight of the tall buildings, as well as
the man who has yet to see city sky
scraper, should be booster for better
roads. Highways are used in trans
porting practically every article of
food at some stage in its journey to
the consumers table. Bad roads add
to the cost of transportation, but good
roads cut marketing cost.
From the time when farm products
were first hauled in wagons to markets
there has been an interest in better
roads as means of reducing the cost
of transportation, but improved high
ways mean more now because Of the
extensive use of motortrueks in haul
ing products from the farm to the
railroad station or direct to the city
markets. Trucks are not only replac-
ing horse transportation but in many
cases they are supplementing and even
doing the work Of railroads. In fact,
motor trucks offer solution of mod
ern transportation problems, but roads
built only-for horse-drawn vehicles or
light automobiles will break down I'M
der heavy motor traffic.
Maintenance Of thousands Of miles
Of roads SO that the enormous govern
ment and commercial truck traffic of
the past two years could move has
taxed the abilities and called forth
every energy and plan on the part of
highway etiiei ais IN many states offl'
cials found themselvesl without suffi-
cfent funds to handle properly the re
pair and rebuilding work necessary.
Nearly all Of them had to struggle Un-
der the handicap of an insufficient la

clans examination and thorough one,
including a blood test. 1t will pay
parents and it will be profitable for
the state and nation to see that every
child is examined every year. By the
system of height and weight charts
sent out by the children's bureau, any
mother may know whether her child
approaches the normal or not and, If
underweight, he should be examined at
once.
Children need whole wheat. Other
cereals may be used for variety. They
need fat, particularly butterfat, which
contains the wonderful substance
which promotes growth. They should
have sugar in moderate quantities and
an abundance of fruit and fresh vege-
tables, especially those like spinach,
chard and lettuce, for in them also is
this life-promoting principle found in
milk, butter and cream.
Another food that well-nourished
child should have is the egg. Serve
one in some form daily for each child.
Then fruit of various kinds, orange
Juice particularly, are good for infants,
Prunes, figs, dates and raisins when
well masticated or cooked, are most
wholesome for children. Apples, baked
