state that there undoubtedly ' Al be
a shortage of cars during the com
ing spring and summer. Several OF
the local dealers already are feeling
the pinch Of a shortage. Even now
they cannot get enough of the
makes they handle to I'LL the pres
ent demand. Later on as the time
arrives when people want to go
touring, the demand will be so
great that orders cannot be filled
until late in the summer.
Also the purchase of a car now
keeps up the general prosperity of
the country. 1t keeps men employ
ed and the factories going. Some
of the factories, it is known, have
put their forces on part time, which
prevents the laying up OF a reserve.
The failure to have such a reserve
when the great demand comes will
cause q shortage.
1t is expected that there will be
in the neighborhood Of 100 exhibit
ors, including dealers handling pas
senger cars, motor trucks, tires,
batteries and other accessories. OF
the participants in the show about
one-half will be dealers handling
passenger cars, and it is expected
that they will display in the neigh
borhood OF 200 different models.

Washington automotive show, to
be held in Convention Hail, Fifth
and7I sSreets northwest, March IL
to 10 is expected to be a record
breaker. The members Of the show
committee of the Washington Au-
tomotive Trade Association are ten
tatiyely mapping out elaborate
plans to make this the biggest event
in local automotfve history. 1t will
be che first show held here for six
years.
1t7has been definitely determined
that the show will open on Satur-
day night and continue through the
following week. Like other shows
which have been held this year in
various parts Of the country, this
show is expected to be a real trade
producer, and also be the means of
creating a boom for the automo-
tive soindustry here
Dealers generally are enthusiast
tic over the proposal Of the local
association to again inaugurate the
annual show. The reason it has not
beeR held for six years Is the lack
of-s suitable building wherein the
cars could be displayed to a big ad-
vantage. Convention Hall has been
occupied by the government. which
only recently moved out.
Attend Baltimore show.
The Washington AgtomotiVe
Trade Association during the week
attended the Baltimore automotive
shoM-in a body. They left Wash
ington in special cars. Upon ar
rival in Baltimore they were met at
a station by the Baltimore Automo-
bile Dealers Association, taken to
thR-attractiye clubhouse Of that
boaSE feasted, and then taken to
the show.
rnose who went report the Balti-
more show a great success from
every standpoint, and the trip serv-
ed TO, whet the enthusiasm Of the
local dealers. They feel already
that the coming local show will do
all THAT has been done by the other
shpEs in various parts OF the coun-
trY,, =.
Tha local association already is
pushing the slogan OF Buy that car
nowliRIt will be brought to a climax
with the opening of the show when
models Of all kinds to fit all pocket
books will be on display. Those in
elnse touch with conditions in the
automotiye field expect a very
greatly increased demand for cars
from now on. They are urging peo-

Reliners Bad
For New Tires ]
Say the Experts

No better rule has been devises
for tire economy than TO avoid thg
use Of inside protectors in new
tires. Even the most hexibIs

ieesble are they an advantage. I
The wsrping and fexinE OF a tire

by friction soon weskens the sd-

the bureau is perfeCting plans for a

1t will greatly simplify operations

Stopping Plug Leaks.

There still are a great many en-
gines without detachable cylinder
heads and these use valve plugs.
These plugs often leak. This leak
ing may be stopped by spreading
ordinary paste stove blacking over
the threads. Do not use too much.
This may be used at any hot joint
in place of white or red lead and is
much better because it does not
make removal of the part an hours

Total miles ........,..... s'09O
The extent to which Federal aid
has been applied to the trails varies
in the different States. Quite nat
uralIy the Western States are using
much more OF their Federal appor-
tionments in developing roads or
this character than the Eastern
States. This is due to the fact that
the routes in the Eastern States had
already been improved to a large
extent before the roads were Sc
Iected by the pathfinders. This was
not true in. the West where long
stretches of the selected roads were
still in an unimproved condition
when they were designated.
Nevada Leads.
Nevada leads in it's use of Federal
funds on roads OF this character
Eighty-three per cent of its entire
mileage of approved Federal-aid
roads lies on one or the other OF
the trails which cross the States.
On these roads Nevada will spend
90 per cent of the Federal money
which has been granted to her.
Indiana is a close second. with so
per cent OF its entire Federal-aid
mileage and SO per cent of its
money aid applied to the construc-
tion Of the trails, and Oklahoma.
with 76 per cent OF its mileage and
81 per cent of it's Federal funds, is
not far behind.
Florida takes the lead in the
percentage of its funds which will
be used for trail building. with -
per cent of its Federal allotments
so applied, but this amount will be
spent for only Sc per cent of. the
mileage which has been approved
in the State.
Average Expenditure % Per Cent.
In addition to the above. the
States of Illinois. Kansas. Montana.
New Mexico, Utah and Washington
are each using so per cent or more
OF their Federal money for the up
building of the trails
The average expenditure on these
roads of 35 per cent OF the Federal
money allotted to all the States
would be greatly increased by the
exclusion of such States as Con-
necticut, Delaware, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont
and West Virginia, which are either
not traversed by any of the trails
or have very limited mileage
within their borders. 1t would be
further increased by eliminating
such States as New Jersey. New
York and Pennsylvania. in which
the selected routes have been i'm
proved in large measure by the
States
In presenting this analysis it is
recognized that the system or trails
does not constitute an entirely sat
isfactory system OF transcontinental
roads
Their selection, in many cases, has
been Influenced by such factors as
pre- existing improvements, prom
ises of Improvement by local com.
munities in return for the designa-
tion of the route through the COM
munity, and pressure of selfish in
huenCes leading to the diversion of
the route from the ideal location.
In general, also, too much weight
has been given to the desirability of
touching points of historic and
scenic interest. The Bureau of
Public Roads believes that there are
many sections of Federal aid roads
which do not fall on any of the
designated trails, which will serve
to better advantage as sections of
