Helpful Hints to
Motorists

Don't turn a hose Of high pressure
on car. 1t grinds dirt into the pol
ish, greatly damaging the appear
ance of the enamel.
Drivers should carry head and tail
light bulbs and fuses in the car.
thereby eliminating the possibility Of
having to run at night without all
lights burning. with increased danger
of accident.
A set of socket wrenches should be
carried in the tool kit for reaching
inaccessible nuts and bolts when the
motorist is on the road.
\ Filtering the gasolene into the tank
thru several layers Of cheese cloth
will prevent water from getting into
the tank and causing trouble later.
Wheen the Gasolene feed pipe be-
comes stopped with dirt or lint 1t
should be loosened at the tank and
carburetor ends and blown out with
tire pump.
Poor grade gasolene is the cause of
the accumulation Of carbon in the
carDuretor.
Exposing a machine to abrupt
changes in temperature will cause
the enamel to peel on the body of the
machine. A garage where the tenn
perature is fairly even is the best
place to store q machine.
The drain cock at the bottom of the
cafburetor should be opened occa-
sionally to let out foreign particles of
dirt that gather in the carburetor.
A spare headlight bulb connected
by a simple switch to the storage
battery can be easily mounted under

Why Tips Fail.

The tire expert says that surface
cuts that allow dirt and moisture to
reach the body or carcass are by
far the most frequent cause OF tire
trouble. Motorists do not pay suf-
ficient attention to the daily depreci-
alton that goes on in their tires by
neglecttng to have repaired the many
small cuts, and gashes. These can be
made by glass. or sharp stones, and
the Internal pressure on tho tire
causes those cuts to open up and
permit the admission OF moisture
permit the admission of moisture and
cotton fabric. the dirt acts like fine
emery and works the rubber loose
from the carcass. Therefore, In wet
or dry weather. these open gate ways
to the heart OF the tire lead to the
quick destruction OF it's usefulness.
Blow outs that result from surface
cuts The admission Of moisture to
the carcass causes a rottins of the
fabric. and this rotten fabric can
not withstand the internal air pres

II the brake slips and frequently
falls to hold. pour little kerosene
on the brake bands, for 1t may be
that oil has dripped down onto these
and the grease causes the slipping.
Chains should be fitted loosely to
the tire. Tight chains hit the same
place every time the tire revolves,
causing unnecessary wear on the rub
Der.
A spring clip rattle may be rene
died by wrapping tire tape about the
clip.
If there is much inequality in the
tension OF brake rods it can be de-
tected by the fact that when the
brakes are applied the brake that is
too tight will cause that side of the
car to drag noticeably, causing the
car to sWerVe, which indicates that
one wheel is dragging while the other
is Tevolving.
Avoid running in deep ruts. Chat
fling against the side Of ruts will
quickly wear thru the side wall of
any tire.
Don't carry tubes in the original
boxes. These boxes are for shipping
purposes only, and on purchasing
tube the owners first act should be
to remove it from the box and place
1t In a tube bag.
Powdered soapstone or talcum
powder should be placed in the tire
before an inner tube is inserted. This
will protect the inner tube from de-
struetion thru chaanS.

Supervise Cotton
Growing From Air

For the first time in history, cotton
growing will be supervised from the
air. when within the next three
months a small dirigible Will be used
for this purpose on the $4,000 acre
plantation of a large tire company
near Phoenix, Ariz. UP to the pres
ent time. the company has used
automobiles and motorcycles to
transport overseers around the plan
tation,> hut the day Of the auto
mobile is passing" and 1t has been
found that much time. labor and
money can be saved by overseeing
the growing from the air.
Besides its purposes OF supervision.
the dirigible will be used to transport
officials to Phoenix and even as far
as the factory at Los Angeles. a
distance of 400 miles. This dirigible
is the first one used in this country
for commercial purposes. and Is
probably the smallest one ever con-
structed. The airship is ninety Ave
feet long. twenty eight feet high and
forty feet in diameter, and has a
capacity of $4,000 cubic feet. 1t
Will be able to make a speed OF forty
miles ap hour. The pilot and over
seer will be able to cover the planta-
ton easily in short time and can
make landings at any point where
attention Is required. II Is believed
by officials Of the company that
supervision from the air can also be
used to great extent In wheat
field survey and similar purposes.

Radius Of Action Limited.
The road problems of the middle
and far western states are national
rather than local problems. as these
states. while possessing vast areas
and tremendous mileage Of high
ways. have only a sparse population
which can not possibly undertake
the needed highway Improvement
work. which is of greater importance
to the country as whole than to the
individual states.
The radius Of action and resulting
utility value to motor vehicles is
limited only by the condition of the
roads, and that the provision Of ade-
quate roads will have far reach
ing effect on the economic develop
ment Of the country at large"
The committee suggests that the
types OF motor vehicles, especially
those used by the army. should be
co-ordinated with the road contli-
tions. That until such time as all
sections of the country are connected
by improved highways that are pass
able to heavy motor vehicles at all
times of the year, the size and
weight OF vehicles should be limited
to types of light and medium
capacities.

 "The number of horses and mules on farms, if decreasing, is doing 50 at a rate so slow as to have little or no effect on the oat crop. Furthermore, statistics show that American farmers are not cutting down the total oat acreage, but are actually increasing it. A great number of American farmers, par ticularly in the corn belt, are justi- fled in making extensive sowings of oats each year"

THE R-36.

The English dirigible balloon, R-36, which the United States navy purchased from the British govern ment for s3,5OO,OOO, will be housed at the Cape May (N. J.) navy yard air station. Work has been begun for the erection of large hangar, which must be completed within the next month or so. A railroad line is being constructed to the site of the building in order that the 500 tons of material necessary for the hangar may be placed on the ground speedily.
 At the present hangar, from which the C-5 went out on it's disastrous trip last spring, there is being put together, under the direction of an Italian expert officer, new dirigi- ble which may have it's trial trip in short time.
 The regular complement of the flying station adjoining the naval station is 400 officers and men.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

The interest that has been ere ated in Alaska oil lands through the passage of the leasing measure, and the rush to the of fields, is a reminder, says the Alaska (Juneau> Daily Empire, of what might have been had not then President Roose- welt withdrawn the oil lands from location in 1906! Fourteen years of prospecting and development work have been lost. If they had been utilized, what might not have been the result! Long before now, Alaska might we'll have become one of the great oil producing sections of the country. We might have had thriving towns and a large ad dition of prosperous people to our population. This is an illustration of the great injury that has been
 
 done to Alaskan development thru the Pinchot conception of conserva- tion-an injury that has already held back the settlement and de- velopment of Alaska for the major part of a generation. If 1t had not been for this crank's hobby, Alaska would have had railroads to the Interior long before the Fed eral Government began the ex- penditure of more than s50,00O.- 900 on the railroad from the coast to the great river system of the Yukon valley, and by this time we would have had far greater pop ulation.
 However, let us hope that the dawn is here. The oil lands are being taken, the railroad is being built, the chances are good that aid will be forthcoming that will en- courage the renewed development of gold mining, and the powers of the forestry bureau are reported to De working out manner of dispos- ing of timber that will result in the establishment of pulp and paper mills in the Territory. So let Us be thankful that we may yet live to see Alaska come into her own. The fight for common justice has been long, and the victory will be worth while when it comes. ::
