Rlany States Falling in Line
Mapping Out Program for
the Making of Better
Highways. q

Iowa is meeting with exceptions
ally favorable results in its extern
sion Of motor truck lines. Dubuque
Just the other day saw the, EorIna-
ton of Sl00g00 corporation which
is operating a feet Of trucks over
2 routes, visiting 65 towns and
cities. Sioux City is operating nine
routes, serving S. towns. Mason
City now has a feet of trucks run
ming over nine routes, from 90 to
$50 miles in length.
A trucking company, capitalized
at $4,000 has been organized at
Elmwood, Neb., to run trucks from
Elmwood and Nebraska City to
Omaha.
A difference Of opinion seems to
exist as to just what roads should
be paved to so serve the majority of
highway volume. Statistics have
shown for years that the main high
ways, the roads touching county
seat to county seat and the larger
cities accommodate nearly IS per
sent of the volume. To market pro-
duce, the farmer must travel main
highway. To start permanent road
work on any but highways used by
the majority of vehicles is to get the
cart before the horse.
Pennsylvania is trying again to
pass a law providing for lights on
all vehicles. This bill was defeated
last legislature. Lights are neces-
sary on horse-drawn as we'll as on
automobiles.
Kearney Commercial club will
make road improvement their big
work for the coming year.
Six miles Of the Lincoln highway,
three on each side of Sidney, will be
graveled this year. II is claimed
an excellent gravel pit Is available.
The second meeting held in the
Sixth congressional district, by the
Nebraska Good Roads association,
was held at Sidney on January Is,
with a splendid attendance of dele
gates from surrounding towns.
Road Improvement received a big
boost and actual results will be
netted !,
Iowa seems on, the eve Of hard
road bdildihg era, if advocates Of
hard roads can put through bills
now drafted. Two years ago Gov
ernor Harding was against hard
road building. Today he is a strong
supporter Of permanent road work.
The legislature seems favorable to
a progressive program.
Crawling willt be done on the
road from Grand Island to St. Paul.
Route Of the Lincoln highway will
be changed from Grand Island TO
Chapman, the new route taking
what IS called the Highline road, on
which federal aid is to be had.

Chairman Johnson Of the Me-
braSka Highway Transport
Committee Describes
Campaign.

The need for prompt action look
ing to the keeping Of the highways
cleared Of obstruction caused by
snowfalls, that foodstuffs and other
commodities necessary TO the needs
Of this nation and to the saving of
life in the countries of Europe de-
vastated by the war, may continue
to move promptly and expeditiously
gives added pertinency to the snow
removal campaign being conducted
by the highways transport COM
mittee of the Council of National
Defense, according to George John
son, chairman of this committee of
the Nebraska State Council of De-
Tense.
Chairman Johnson, pointing to the
fine results which already have been
obtained along these lines, said:
Campaigns for snow removal
throughout those states which are af-
fected annually by this character of
obstruction to traffic, instituted by
the highway transport committee
of the Council of National Defense,
has already accomplished concrete
results Of the most gratifying char
acter.
Individual counties acting in their
unit capacity, have initiated definite
plans with the result that the first
fall of snow was effectively handled.
In many states legislatures
now are in session, and in
these states in which distractions
to highways transport caused by
snowfall is an annually recurring
problem, organized steps looking to
the securing of appropriations for
meeting it are being taken in CON
junction with the various highway
transport committees.
"The cooperation of the general
public with the state and county
highway transport organizations and
highway engineers is anticipated,
to the end that when the legislatures
in session this year are adjourned,
the statute books of their state may
contain laws under which it will be
possible for the state or county
highway engineer, as the case may
be, to meet the snowfall problem
expeditiously, and with the least
economic loss to the community"

Many car owners in winter adjust
the shutters on the hot air tube so
that hot air only is fed, In some
cases this is necessary, but where
the engine will assimilate certain
amount OF cold air this should be

Terminal Tongs.

Any car owner who has struggled
with a battery terminal so set thai
it cannot be removed from its sock
ct will welcome this idea for a pain
of tongs especially designed to care
for this trouble, Take a pair Of
wide faced pliers and If necessary
hammer the faces fiat. Next cut a
slot in one Of them large enough to
allow il to be placed over the cable
side Of the terminal, while the other
face exerts pressure against the
other side. No terminal can resist
this treatment.

Brass Springs.

Soft brass can be made into
spring brass BY hammering both
sides lightly with a hammer, using
smooth solid block of some kind
as an anvil. This produces a slight
hard film, which gives the brass the
quality of a spring, but filing or
grinding will remove this hard film
instantly. This kink is useful in an
emergency when a brass spring is
needed and nothing but soft brass is
az hand

cold Weather Precaution.

Whenever the car is brought into
the garage in cold weather the gaso-
line should be shut off at the vac
uum tank outlet or at the main tank,
and then the engine should be run
long enough to draw all the gaso-
line from the carbureter and supply
line. This prevents moisture from

An excellent method of prevent
ing tools getting too rusty is to give
them a little coating of vaseline, in
which little gum camphor has been
mixed, after which the mixture is
melted over a slow fire. The coat
ing should be applied to the tools
with a soft rag.

If we accept an invitation to we'd
ding, they say we are invited to write
it up.
If we are on the streets much, they
say we neglect our business.
If We avoid going on the street,
they say we don't hustle around after
the news.
If W reject long winded commun-
ication, its author becomes furiously
enraged and discontinues his paper.
If we publish lengthy communica-

erection, and put it in to fill up.
If we omit to decorate our Office
