job by motor car, if the proper type Of
automobile be used. The advantage has
always been with the automobile for
salesman anyway. They are made indie
pendent of railroad schedules, they
save taxi hire in the towns and cities
(if they make their calls by streetcar
or trolley they waste time hugely and
they can manage more calls in day.
There is an awful lot of time that is
frittered away waiting for trains, and,
more than that, statesmen are left ma
rooncd by "accomm odation schedules"
who could be on their way to the next
place if they were motoring.
The sort of weather that stops car
from going on it's way is very apt to
have the same effect on trains 1t has
often been source of surprise to the
writer how completely a train can be
put off schedule by extreme cold, high
winds and rain storms, not to mention
snow storms or blizzard weather. There
isn't any overwhelming advantage in
favor of the vehicle on rails, and, in
fact, very often an automobile will
pull through where trains are blocked.
But, as has been said, it is not alone
for the strict commercial purposes that
the automobile is to have a new birth.
The man who wants to make a trip
with his family will find the motor car
is far cheaper than the trains, with
the high charges that have just been
approved. He will see the country and
see it better by automobile. He will
learn more about his fellow citizens
and evil get to know more about
his car and its equipment He will
have more enjoyable trip and it won't
cost him any more-if as much.
But to be able to do all this there
must be good roads. Being a little
weak On Roman history we do not at
this moment recall the name of the
person who made speeches in Latin A
thage must be destroyed.' We aim to
remark as often as may be that the
first and greatest need of this country
is good roads. Without them neither
persons nor goods can be economically
and rapidly moved by motor vehicle,
and what's the use of having at hand
a useful tool, such as the motor car
or truck, and then limiting it's value by
not providing smooth, permanent high
ways so that it may remain really
efficient?
Whenever a rail transportation crisis
comes the motor vehicle proves it's
worth every time. 1t can go beyond
its other best records if good roads
are available. The railroad people do
not attempt to run trains over bad
right of way, defective or crooked rails
and under unfavorable conditions Give
the truck or car equal conditions with
the trains and the rail system will be
beaten out of sight in a great variety
Of ways.
And think, too, of the blessed relief
to the railroads when the motors"
carry away huge part of their burden
The rails will be able to do the job
with some semblance of attention to
detail and rapid handling and will be
more satisfactory to the customers they
do retain
But, remember, to realize this whole
scheme there must be good roads,"

engine was running with the radiator
cup off to pump out the air bubbles,
and it was noticed there was a regular
pulsating geyser from the filler open
ing. 1t took but a moment to recog-
nize that it was in rhythm with one
cylinder. Examination showed that
the air chamber of the carburetor was
running a stream of water, and we
knew then that the. diagnosis of a
blown gasket was correct. Bolts were
frightened up and, while it did not
possible for us to run into the home
garage. Next day it was found that
the gasket had indeed blown out.
When it was replaced and the carbon
scraped out of the cylinder the en-
CINE ran as we'll as ever.
We had an experience at the school
which developed an unusual case Of
gasket leak. The car was brought to
US to look over to find out why the
cylinder head could not be made tight.
1t was said that different persons had
tried various kinds of gaskets to rem
edy the trouble without avail. Our
took the cylinder head into the shop
and, by testing it, found that it had
so warped that it could not be bolted
tight. When it was put on machine
and trued and put back in place the
trouble was over.
Another place where proper gaskets
we'll frightened up are exceedingly nee
essary is in the intake lines. There
are usually two of these, one at the
end Of the intake manifold
and another at the cylinder block,
sometimes one for each cylinder or
for pairs of cylinders. Vibration is
inc cd
to loosen up. They should be inspect
ed frequently to see that the bolts are
tight. AS these gaskets cost only about
ten cents apiece, it is wise to put
new one in every time the manifold
is opened up.

War Department Gives
Road-Making Equipment
More Than 900 Trucks of
Varying Sizes Turned
Over 10 This State

New York has received from the War
DEPARTMENT. through the Bureau of
Public Roads of the Department of
Agriculture, excess war material and
equipment suitable for road building
purposes, valued at more than So
100000 This statement is contained in
a letter from Frederick Stuart Greene,
State Highway Commissioner, addressed
to DR.. Clarence J. Owens, Director Gen
eral of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress.
Included in the equipment are two
derricks mounted on seven-ton trucks,
three six-ton trucks, thirteen tive-ton

"As much of this equipment as could
be effectively used in the work of this
department has been retained Mr..
Greene says, land the balance has been
distributed to the counties and to NUM-
clPal UNITS LOT use IN road construction
only. The result is that it has been of
great benefit to the whole road system
of the state and a benefit which will
continue, as it will demonstrate the
very effective and economical work which
can be done with this kind of equipment
and will establish a policy which will
be continued"
The vital. assistance given to the good
roads movement throughout the country
by this distribution of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars worth of war material
is one phase OF a program of construc-
tive craftsmanship, carefully planned
and steadily carried forward during the
last ten years ly the Southern Ccn1mer
