amendment is in the nature of mandate to the next

Through the highway bond issue amounting to $780,

complete an ideal highway system Of $3.50 miles within
six years This system of highways will connect all
country seats and connect the tide water with the mountain

CHICKEN WIRE BIG HELP
WHEN CAR GETS In SAND

Anyone who combines a passion for
chickens of the gallinaceous variety
with a love OF motoring may readily
equip himself to tour through deep
sand. The only essentials are a car
ana a roll OF chicken wire. The wire
is carried in the car. but like a
magic carpet Is unrolIed when need
ed and used to transport the vc-
hicte over difficult stretches OF road.
According to members of an automo %
bile sales agency in San Francisco,
this motoring hint has proved help
full in shifting sand that could not
otherwise have been negotiated.
A large passenger car was driven
into deep sand until 1t would rot
move forward another inch. y roll
of chicken wire OF one-inch mesh
and a width greater than the tread
OF the car was then unwound apd
cne end of it placed under the rear
wheels. The car was easily backed
out. other tests demonstrated tlat
to drive forward IL is necessary to
spread the wire in front OF the car
so that the rear wheels will have
traction the moment they touch the
sand.-Motor.

of the various operations. There is
one point. however. which Is worth
emphasizing, and that is that the sue
cess OF the American automobile is
due to the use OF special machines in
it's making. Much has been said abouS
production methods, and many per-
sons believe that they relate to system
alone. True. system Is important, but
production methods are mainly con-
cerned with the development of high
ly specialized machines to do a large
amount OF work with a minimum OF
expenditure of human effort
In a modern automobile factory
there are very few OF the ordinary
machine tools seen In every machine
shop. Ordinary lsthes. drill presses.
milling machines and the like are
mainly conspicuous by their absence.
Highly complicated machines to bore
all six cylinders at once or to drill
two dozen holes at a time, or to ma
chine a dozen connecting rods are the
tools that make American production
what 1t is. II. is because OF such de-
vices that an automobile factory is
fascinating to the layman.

There are 527 different models OF
motor trucks listed on the 1921

Four per cent of the output OF
steel in this country is consumed
in the production OF motor vehicles.
Machinists in automobile factories
earn from $2S.S0 to s4f a week. plus

The occupation of chauffeur,
who is also a competent mechanic,
is now as highly specialized as a

American motorists paid an aver

William p. killeen, distributor for
the DupleX-Limited truck popularity
known as the "On Time All the Time
Truck" has secured a section of the
Irving street garage at l426 Irving
street for the show rooms and serv-
ice for the Duplex-Limited.
Mr.. Killeen has several models on
display in the new show rooms, and
has installed complete service equip
ment. Practically all types of bodies
adapted to commercial use are being
shown. .|@ ..

CURVES ARE HAMMERED.
An automobile body generally con-
ssts OF wood framework to which
sheet steel or aluminium panels are
attached. The graceful curves oc-
by hammering the metal to that
shape. A skillful workman can
achieve the desired result with a hand
hammer and a sand bag on which to
rest the work while he. is hammer
ing. but II is simpler method to use
a power hammer. which is simply a
heavy hammer driven by motor or
belt power. This hammer strikes an
anvil which forms part of the ma
chine. and which, curiously enough
is only about the size of a hammer
head. The workman controls the in
tensity and frequency of the hammer
blows with a foot lever, taking the
nat sheet of metal in his hands and
placing il between the. anvil and the
hammer. In shaping the sheet by
moving il back and forth over the
anvil he is guided only by his eye
and so must be skillful to attain the
desired result.
Wheel spokes OF wood are made in
special machines designed for just
that work, and their assembly is also
effected on special machinery. Paint
ing is often done by hand. but the
paint may be shot on with a com,
pressed air device that looks much
like an automatic pistol. The differ-
