The regulations of the bureau of pub
lie roads provide that the work must
be of substantial nature and the
federal aid law provides that federal
aid shall be available for construction
or reconstruction, but not for main
tenance. 1t is therefore, advisable to
construct federal aid projects in such
a substantial manner that mainten-
ance will be reduced to a minimum,
and this policy has been adopted by
the state highway department.
The funds other than federal aid to
be used in this work are provided for
by the Greenlee county highway COM
mission out of the proceeds of the re-
cent bond issue in Greenlee county
The highway commission, as well as
Highway Engineer s. C. Redd, are CO.
operating with the state highway de
partment in the construction of this
road. The surveying and plotting OF
the location was done by Mr.. Redd
and federal aid was secured by the
state highway department. This com
mission has shown a desire to assist
in every manner possible to secure
early action on this project, and theil
corporation has materially assisted
the state highway department in work
ing up a program for the Improvement
OF this highway, and which will re-

ing off in engine efficiency during the
cold months will do we'll to see whether
the manifold design of his engine is not
to blame. There are many improved
manifolds on the market today which
may be used with benefit by owners
whose cars are somewhat aged and
equipped with manifolds that were de-
signed to handle a grade of fuel very
much superior to what we are getting
today. Any such owners who will write
this paper will receive advice in regard

Gear Noises
Gear noises are Objectionable for
two reasons: They are not very pleas
ant and they indicate abnormal opera
ton of the gears which may quickly
lead to expensive trouble. Transmits
sion or axle gears, though mounted in
a housing, will, even when in good
condition emit a slight hum, for it is
almost impossible to operate two en-
meshed gears without there being some
slight noice. The noises that gears
make when they are not operating
properly are at once detected by the
driver of the car because there usually
is a severe stress in the sound, loud
howl or some noice which is quite dit
| ferent in character from that given off
| by two properly fitted gears. So far as
the engine is concerned the front END
or timing gears usually run quietly for
! long periods, but when wear sets in,
when bearings wear endwise and force
the gears out of proper mesh, or when
chips of foreign matter get between
the gears there is an immediate in
crease in noise until it becames nuis-
ance. Much of the engine noise is due
to these timing gears, the tappets be-
ing secondary. The unfortunate thing
Is that when the timing gears do be-
come noisy one cannot come upon the
| cause of the trouble without examin-
ing the gears. They are noisy, the
driver says, and the only way really to
find out why is to rake off the timing
case cover look at the gears, feel for
blacklash and end play, and then either
put in whole set or a non-metai
gear. 1t is possible often to get a
quiet front end by substituting q
fibre or other non-metal gear for q
metal one. Where all metal gears are
demanded it is necessary to match the
4 gears. Usually one new metal gear ir
the train will be noisy.
For some reason or other the aver.
age driver will put up with a noisy SCI
of timing gears, whereas he demand:
quiet in the transmission and real
axle. There is sound reason for thi.
also, because the gear set and axle
gears do more work under more Sc
we're conditions. All gears. whether il
the transmission. engine or axle, ar
designed to operate in line, the teetl
must fit in one way only and not de
viate much from that setting. The,
must run always in a bath of oil

Fully 1000 people were present last
night at the annual floral opening of

near the front entrance, furnished de-
lightful music during the evening. The
whole interior of the store was hand
somely decorated with flowers and
greenery for the occasion. The many
new fixtures which have recently been
installed in this store added greatly to
its appearance and convenience. The

The state will furnish cement, rein
