One Of the best ways to doll
up car at this time in anticipa-
tion of a series Of enjoyable tours
this spring is to equip 1t for every
reasonable emergency that may
arise. While "dolling up" may be
interpreted to deal more particu-
larly to fitments that appeal more
particularly to the eye any veter-
an automobile tourist will tell one
that tits the things you don't see
and don'tt hink of that make mo-
toring real joy-ride or a glide in
to gloom.
While "dolling up" your car,
don't fal to consider the tool box.
Here should be the useful articles
that every car should carry to pro-
vide against emergencies that arise
sooner or later with the most care
full Of drivers.
Among the tire repair tools
there should be a wrench for rap
idly removing the nuts which hold
the tire in place. One should also

have a three-in-one value tool in
the case the threads on the valve
become battered. A box of new
plungers is also desirable. A tow
rope is indispensable and it should
be long enough to be of real use
No one anticipates being towed,
but tow rope may get you out of
a rut or hole when nothing else
would. Besides, you may be dis
posed to tow someone else.
There are many other things
NEEDED in a car by the driver who
is going on tour. One of these
is a set of electric light bulbs of
the right voltage and candlepower
for the particular car. These may
be bought in sets boxed at any sup
ply store. At the same time, if the
car has fuses inN the electric sys-
TEN, a set Of fuses should be car
ried, A small bail of stout wire is
likewise handy.
Here are some of the other
things that should be carried:

Six Hundred
Million For
Highways
Two Million Dollars
a Day Available For
Highway Work This
Season

Washington May 21.-Approx-
imately s2,OOO,0OO is available ev-
cry working day during the pres
ent year for expenditure upon the
highways of the United States, ac-
cording to a statement today by
Professor C. ]. Tilden, director OF
the Highway and Highway Trans
port Education committee.
The actual sum available from
state and county bond issues and
federal aid for the year is $4,000
600, a sum fifty percent greater
than the total cost of the Panama
canal, according to figures OBJ
tained from the bureau of Public
Roads.
This point was made by Prof
fessor Tilden in stressing the need
for more courses in highway con-
struction and economics in colleges
and universities. To spend this
amount wisely, he said, would re-
quire the services of more than
10000 trained highway engineers.
At this time, universities are grad
uating only about 1000 civil en-
gineers annually, of whom a small
percentage turn to highway con-
struction. The supply is far short
of the demand, according to Prof
fessor Tilden.
Through the agency Of the COM
mittee of which he is director,
Professor Tilden is endeavoring to
persuade institutions of higher
learning to include courses in the
highway economics in their regu-
lar curriculums. Professor Tilden
