Roads for motor use in Mexico are
in bad condition and little is being
done to improve them.
Vacuum cleaners for automobiles,
operated on their engines, have been
invented.
Sometimes compression cocks have
a tendency to stick, making it hard
to open them. Put drop of oil in
them occasionally, while engine is not
running, and work it around to reach
every part.
Never throw spark plugs haphazard
into the tool box, where they may be-
come cracked. Never throw an old
plug away. Save the old ones and buv
spare insulators or electrodes, and
save money.

DRIVE OVER BROKEN STONES
Best Way Is to Take Short Run and
Let Car Coast With Clutch Out
Tires Are Saved.

The best way to drive car over a
short stretch of broken stone is to take
q short run at it-not too fast-and let
the car coast over the stone with the
clutch out. Thus the rear tires are re-
sulting tearing actions of sharp stones
on the rubber. Of course, it is not al
ways practicable to do this, but when
it can be done it adds just a little more
to the life of the tires.

FOREST FIRES
HARD TO FIGHT
1t Takes Real Men With Well-laid
Plans to Buck Them Successfully
Getting Fire Under Con-
troll, One Problem.

Fighting forest fire is the
meanest game in the world. 1t takes
real men with welllaid plans to buck
1t successfully. Getting the fire under
control is but one of the big prob
lens. Feeding the fire fighters is of
equal Importance, according to Popu-
lar Mechanics.
Hundreds Of fires break out each
year in the most inaccessible parts
of the national forests, especially in
the western states Some start from
lightning; others from camp fires
carelessly left unextinguished by
hunters and fishermen. Every one
of these fires is fought by forest
service officers until 1t Is completely
out, regardless of whether 1t takes
a day, a week, or months. The bigger
the fire, the greater the number OF
men required to control it. Ere
uuently Is or SO, or even 100 or more,
fire fighters are used on a single hre,
where there is nothing burt trail
leading to the scene Of the conf1ag-
ration The men can usually walk
or ride to the fire camp, but the
great difficulty IS to transport the
heavy, cumbersome outfit needed fer
cooking and for feeding such
crowd.
Officers Of the Rocky mountain dis
trict have solved this problem by in
venting a nestled cooking and mess
outfit, which is not only complete in
every detail, but also compact and
light in weight The thirty-man out
fit commonly used on the national
forests, consists of two units packed
in tin and a galvanized-iron boiler,
each Is by u by 16 inches in size.
The total weight of these units has
been reduced to 100 pounds, and they
are balanced so that the whole outfit
can be packed on one horse, with one
boiler slung from each side of the
pack saddle.
