GREAT 1920 ROAD PROGRAM
Necessary for Many States to Post
pone Expenditure OF Federal
Funds for Building,

David +. Houston. secretary of ngrl-
culture, In his annual report, calls at
tentlon TO the fact that the 1919 pro-
gram for federal aid road building Is
greater than any previous annual
road-building accomplishment I'm this
country. II is so great, in fact, that
It undoubtedly will be necessary for
many of the states TO postpone until
1920 the expenditure of the federal
funds, because of the necessity OF de-
veloping experienced contracting and
engineering organizations from the
stagnant conditions brought about by
the war. Under the terms of the fed
eral aid road act, the apportlonment
to state for any one fiscal year re
mains available for expenditure until
the close OF the succeeding year. II
is estimated that funds already pro-
vided will be sufficient to finance next
year program more than four times
greater than any that has ever been
undertaken.

AT first I was inclined TO blame the

AVOID TROUBLE
IN inner TUBE
II Not in Good Shape Driver Is
Liable to Encounter Many
Unnecessary Delays.
MUCH Time LOST REPAIRING
" II Has Been Carried for Any Length
OF Time as Spare II Is Always
Best to Pump Il Up before
Putting In Casing.

A great deal of unnecessary trou-
bile, delay and disappointment is oc-
casioned by carelessness and haste In
replacing damaged inner tubes after
punctures or defiations from other
causes-the tire failing to "hold up"
on the tube put in or holding up for
very short time only, and still an
other change of tube, with all It's at
tendant labor, being required before
permanent repair is effected.
Pump Fairly Hard.
IT the tube to be put In has been
used before, II II has been repaired,
and especially If It has been carried
for some time as spare, it is always
best to pump 1t up before putting II in
the casing TO make sure that II is tight.
IL should be pumped fairly hard and
the ear applied to all parts of 1t to
detect the "hlss" of any leak that may
have developed.
The valve plunger should be screwed
In tight and a little saliva applied to
the air valve opening to see whether
toe valve is tight. In case deflation
was due to puncture, the hole In the
castng, unless of very small size, may
well be temporarily covered (pending
vulcanized repair), by cementing a
smell piece of rubberized fabric over
1t on the inside of the casing.
When defiation is due to an obscure
chuse (no puncture-producing object
being found In any removed from the
sasing) there is always a possibility
that puncture has been produced
by some sharp body which has been
driven through the tread out OF sight
and projects enough on the inside OF
the casing Cat least when the tire is
under load) to prick the tube.
Detect Sharp Object.
In order to detect such an object
the hand should be passed carefully
over the whole inside surface of the
casing, and II anything sharp is no
ticed 1t should be Investigated and
removed. In inserting the new tube
care should be taken that il lies fiat
without twists or folds, and that II
is so placed that II cannot be caught
and pinched by the head of a clinchel
casing or by the edges of the far

able easing.
If the tube used has become stretch
ed through use especial care shoulc
be taken that 1t is put In without
folcs. A little air in 1t is some safe
guard against its being caught in any
way.
