.PAYFAIRSHARE
Truck Company Head
Thinks Motors Pay in
Full" for Use of Roads.

In view of the large expenditures
which are planned for highway i'm
provement. it is interesting to note
whether or not the motor vehicle
owner is paying a fair amount for
! the use of the roads which are
available at the present time. In
this connection. r. L. Fulton, vice
president of the International Motor
Company, manufacturers of Mack
/ trucks, in a recent interview ex-
pressed the opinion that the motor
vehicle owner is certainly paying in
| full for the use of the roads and
gave some interesting figures to
prove his contention.
Motor vehicle owners in 1915"
said Mr.. Fulton, paid $4,000, 900 in
| automobile license fees to the va
rious States. Including personal
property taxes levied on cars in
some States, excise and local char
ges, 1t is estimated that car owners
paid no less than $3.50, ,000.O 900. In
addition, motor vehicle manufac-
| turers paid s35,000,0O0 in taxes to
J the Federal government. This is a
! total of about s25 for every car
| built. Out of 2.50O.000 miles of higA
way in the United States only 6,25O
are equal TO the demands of heavy
| duty traffic. Motor vehicles, there-
| fore, pay a total sum amounting to
| SIS per mile for every mile of high
way in the United States, improved
| or unimproved. For every mile
capable of carrying heavy duty
| motor traffic motor vehicles paw
yearly a sum equal to $4,000 per
mile"

L0TS0F MILES
INDIXIEFLYER:
Max Wiehle, in Test, Gets
24.4 Out of Single Gal
lon of Gasoline.

Gasoline economy is being urged
upon motorists by the oil conserva-
tionists. who have been urging de-
signers of internal combustion en-
gines to builS them TO use low
grade fuel The builders of the
Dixie Flyer have been among the
first to answer this call in the ef-
fort to make the gasoline supply
last a long time. In addition to
giving a large mileage per gallon
of fuel, this automobile is equipped
with a gasoline "stove" to vaporize
and use efficiently low grade fuels.
However, Max Wiehle, of the Po-
tomac Sales Co, distributors of the
Dixie Flyer, determined to satisfy
himself that the machine would de-
liver good mileage on present day
gasoline, and arranged for a test.
He took his car, which already had
been driven 1000 miles, attached a
one-gallon tank to the windshield
and connected it direct with the
carbureter, not even letting the fuel
pass through the stove which
heats low grade fuels, and started
the engine.
The test run started at Twenty
sixth street and Pennsylvania ave
nue. northwest. and was run along
the Avenue to Twenty ninth street,
thence to r street, west to Wtscon-
sin avenue. to Tenallytown, thence
across to Connecticut avenue, turn
| ing north to Chevy Chase circle,
then back to the ford in Rock
| Creek at Pierce Mill, turning along
| the Beach drive and continuing to
| the District line, thence to Six
teenth street to the White House
! Fllipse, which was encircled a num-
Der of times; thence west on Penn
sylvania avenue to Twenty-fourth
street, when the engine stopped.
The speedometer showed that a dis
tance of % 40 miles had been
| covered.

INEXPERIENCE HURTS
NEW AUTOMOBILES

Many drivers do more damage to
their car the first week they drive
II than during almost any week
thereafter. Often they do not stop
to learn thoroughly the directions
for driving. and they smash up the
gears and scrape thousands Of miles
OF wear off the tires. But probably
the greatest offense of all is the
neglect of oiling. In new car II
takes considerable time for the
parts to get thoroughly worked in.
The new car will naturally gen
crate more friction than one which
has been run for some time, so
more fpequent oiling is advisable.
One auto company advises its users
against running faster than TWEEN
ty-five miles an hour for the first
500 miles. The best OF new engines
need to be let down easy at the
beginning Of their lives.

Vacuum Cleaner
Now Can Be Run
From Exhaust

A device expected to meet with
great favor from women motorists,
who always like to see the uphol-
sterv Of their inclosed cars free from
dust and CRIME, has recently been
placed on the market by Franklin
Products. Incorporated, of Syracuse.
This is a portable vacuum cleaner.
It is especially designed for automo-
biles and is operated from the eN-
haust. The exhaust from the motor
creates the suction.
The usefulness of the device. how
ever, is not confined to inclosed cars,
but can be used on cars of any type.
The entire equipment weighs less
than five pounds and occupies but a
very small space.

He walked into his shanty. As
he closed the door behind him. his
eyes fell with a loud report upon
his wife, who lay huddIed in a cor
ner Of the room. Her eyes were
dilated with fear. Androv took this
in at a glance.
What do you know about this"
he asked, in tones filled with goose
flesh.
Nothing whatever" answered
she, in a thin voice.

warned. Il may kill you before

Watch the Front Wheels.

The average car owner is quite
likely in the desire to give the
rear wheels all the attention they
need to forget the front wheels. Now
the front wheels should receive a
careful inspection at least once a
month, particularly those of the
type fitted with ball bearings of the
cup and cone type. The cones wear
rapidly because they are subjected
to heavy stresses in travel.
