INCREASED USE oE HIGHWAYS
Economic Problems Have Arisen That
Call for Presentation Of Facts
to Public.

Owing to the rapidly growing use Of
the public highway as a passenger and
freight carrler-both In short and long
hauls-and the lack of n correspond
ing progress In the efficiency of the
road Itself, economic problems have
arisen that call for careful and a
clear presentation of facts to the pub
lie. AS result of the divergence be-
tween the service highways are called
upon TO render, and their ability to
render that service, the highway from
an educational standpoint has become
a subject of much greater importance
than heretofore, so that highway Off
cials-national, state and county-are
placing greater reliance upon the ed
ucatloDal phase of highway work in
securing effective and practical coop

PULL TOGETHER FOR ROADS
Transportation Is Vital Problem for
All Interested In Natlon-Welfare
Of All Is at Stake.

A new era In American progress
took its date from the period just pre-
cediDg the Civil war. During this era
entire states were transformed from
wilderness into prosperous, thriv-
ing commonwealths. The commercial
and agricultural boundary lines of the
country were slowly but surely pushed
westward by the relentless march of
railroad expansion.
Today our country faces problems
equally as momentous. We should be
on the threshold of an almost limit
less era of better roads development,
writes Il. G. Tibbits in Motor. The
future welfare OF vast communities is
at stake. There is dire need of unified
concentration on the subject of good
roads; and need of vigorous, harmoni-
GUS action, by one big federated body
OF all organizations interested in good
roads. Dissension or Jealousy should
not creep into good roads activities on
unimportant details, as has lately been
apparent. We are all after the same
objective-more roads and better high
ways-national, state and local. SO
let us all pull together.

PLAN TO REMEDY
IGNITION PARTS
Expert Discusses This Important
Section of Motorcar's Nerv-
GUS System.
EXAMINE ALL CONNECTIONS
Make Sure That All Wires Are Tight
and That Insulation ls Not Worn
OF at Any Spot, Thus caus-
ing Short Circuit.

The best way to locate any cleo
trical trouble is to begin at one end
Of the ignition system and make a
series Of tests In regular order. Be-
gin first with the spark plugs under
suspicion, writes w. ii. Stewart, Jr.,
president Of the Stewart Automobile
school, in an exchange.
Moisture on the exposed part of the
porcelain will often cause the engine
to misfire, but this trouble on wet
day may be obviated by greasing the
porcelain with vaseline. Including de-
fective porcelain, other frequent
causes of spark plug trouble may be
traced to OIL or particles of carbon COL
lecting between the points and sootlng
of the porcelain; points out OF adjust
ment or burned away. Ordinarily the
spark plug should be adjusted to about
the thickness of an old worn dime, de-
pendent upon the ignition system, car
bureter adjustment and design of the
engine.
Look at Distributor Case.
When you have eliminated the spark
plug. examine all wiring and terminal
connections, making sure that all wires
are tight and that the insulation isn't
worn off at any place, thus causing
short circuits. Next open the dis
tributor case and see II there is any
dirt or carbon dust. If the trouble
IS here It can be eliminated by wiping

undiscovered then perhaps the misfir-
ing is caused by the contact points be-
ing pitted. These should be cleaned
and adjusted very accurately accord
Ing to instructions of the manufacture
er. Also make sure that the tappet
spring has not weakened or been
broken. Remember that this spring
Is under constant strain and Il will
bear watching.
Cause Of Serious Missing.
Moisture or grease on the surface
of the distributor housing will some
times cause very serious current
slsips across the surface of this for
eign matter instead of going through
Its regular channels. The remedy is
to wipe Off the surface. The presence
of moisture may be explained by the
fact that 1t is drawn In with the air
through the radiator or may condense
on the surface on a damp day. The
grease often collects from the oil spray
thrown out by the engine.
The ignition system is delicate
assemblage and 1t is up to you to
keep your eye constantly upon 1t. Lit
tie attentions like these give you
smooth running engine and help you
to eliminate expensive repairs.

GOOD ROADS AID MARKETING
Farmer Wishing to Haul In Most Eco
nomical Manner Cannot Afford
to Overlook Benefits.

The farmer interested In hauling his
produce to market in the most econom-
ical fashion cannot afford to overlook
the benefits derived from good roads.
Investigation before and after the i'm.
provemeat of certain highways shows
that the cost per ton mile was practi-
cally cut in half by reason Of the bet
terment of the road. In other words,
good roads mean a big reduction In
that part Of overhead which covers
hauling-and hauling of some sort is
being done practically the year round.
