PEOPLE AWAKEN TO
GOOD ROADS NEEDS

TT required a great national ca
tastrophe to awaken the American
public to the inadequacy of our
transportation facilities and to the
flct that We must depend largely
upon our highways, in conjunction
with motor vehicles when a sudden n
expansion in transportation is es-
sential." said Secretary OF Agricul-
ture Meredith in his recent annual
report to the President. Our ex-
perience during the last three years
has clearly demonstrated that the
failure earlier to inaugurate a
sound road improvement program
has retarded the effective develop
ment of one of our most vital ma
tional requirements. The use of the
motor vehicle for highway trans
nortation has increased tremendous
ly within a short period. The actual
vehicIe-miIe use of our roads has
increased more than 500 per cent in
strictly agricultural communities
and more than 1000 per cent near
the larger centers OF population.
These figures indicate the extent TO
which community and short-haul
transportation will be served by
better highways"

Indiana May
Obtain Ideal
Road Section

There is a possibility that the,
ideal section OF the
Lincoln Highway may be built in
Indiana The board of directors OF
the Lincoln Highway Association
has spent months in careful con-
siderstion Of the possible location
for this stretch Of road. while the
technical committee, appointed by
the organization to determine upon
the specifications. has been deliber-
ating upon the design Of the road.
II has been definitely known for
some time that the associations
board favored q location somewhere
between Pittsburgh and Chicago. u
was felt that q location east of
Pittsburgh would not be sufficiently
central. and that one west OF Chi
cago would be too far West TO pre-
sent heavy trafic volume problems.
Both Pennsylvania and Ohio have
made strong bids for this wonder
full piece OF road. which willrrerre-
sent q practical ideal for modern
main highway construction, but il
is understood that special considers-
tion has been given to the poss:-
bilities in Western Indiana.

ly after I make a start. particularly
the first thing in the morning. What
ails it?-A. L. Thomas.
The fact that the misfiring occurs
at the start makes II probable that
the mixture is initially weak. but
that after the carbureter warns up
1t adjusts itself. This would be
almost certain IL you are using a
rather heavy grade of fuel.
A friend informs me that a fuel
called benzole will give greater
mileage than gasoline and that IT
does not cost any more. Is this
correct? Why not substitute IL for
the ordinary fuel?-F. r. Graham.
Benzole does give about 10 per
cent more mileage per given unit,
but its cost is far higher than even
the best grade of gasoline. The
cost and the limited quantity of
the supply are the reasons against
the use OF benzole instead of gas
oline.
What make of rear axle was used
in the 1918 Regal car and where
is the maker located?-R. T. Din

Could you run your automobile
on acetylene gas. and what's the
matter with using II IL gasoline
gets higher?-T. B. w.
It would be possible to use acety-
lene gas as fuel, but the cost Is
prohibitive and Is far above any
figure gasoline Is likely to reach.
have had a lot of trouble with
my carbureter flooding and with
gasoline dripping when the car is
standing still and the motor Is not
running. The carbereter seems to be
o. X. Can you tell me what to do
about it?-A. Z. johnson.
The flooding may be due to Leak
age at the needle valve. Try grind
ing In and IL this does not cure 1t
the float Is probably leaky.
How can ! get the firing order Of
my motor? 1t is an old one and 1
haven't got any instruction book on
it-Arthur W. Clifford.
Lift the hood and watch the valve
movements as the engine turns over
slowly.
Can I substitute an ordinary
magnetic for, the one that is fitted
on the Ford when 1t comes from
the factory? Would It work better?
james Cannon.
Certainly. Most OF the magnetic
makers have special Ford models.
The question OF whether II works
better is largely a matter of indi-
viduaI opinion.
am having a lot of trouble with
sooting Of the spark plug. / have
changed the make twice and
would like to have you recommend
a make that will not give this trou-
blew. F. Woodford.
Heavy sooting of the plugs may
be taken as a certain indication Of
faulty carburetion or oil leakage
past the piston. There should be
no carbonizing at all. Before I
changed plugs again I would get
after the mixture. Make it as lean
as the engine will assimilate and
get the oil level correct.
The engine of my Ford fills up
with carbon after a very brief run
ming. Is this a characteristic OF
the Ford engine in general. or is II
simply my sample? H.G.
The Ford engine should not car
bonize any more rapidly than any
other engine. Look to your oiling:
perhaps you are giving 1t too much
oil or the cylinders may be worn
so that the lubricant is pumped
up into the combustion chamber
The rings and pistons may be worn
or badly fitted. You will find the
oiling to blame.
My engine is misfiring pretty bad

We should not expect to permit It.

them on the hands Of the bank at
the dealers cost and moving them
to scme other part Of his territory
where they can be sold in an or

maintained. The distributor might
ask US to help him by slowing down
his shipments. We stand behind
our distributors and they know they
can count on our cooperation.
We intend to continue to main
