KEEP ROADS OPEN IN WINTER
Federal Highway Commission sug.
gests That Special Efforts Be
Made by State Officials.

It is suggested by the federal high
way. council that state and county
highway departments make special
effort to keep the roads clear Of snow
during the winter months and thus
permit Of uninterrupted traffic. The
TRANSFORMATION Of certain commodities
is really more important during the
winter than in summer and it is then
that the roads are more difficult to
pass over. Then, too, the rural mail
must be carried whether roads are
good or bad, and when the snow drifts
several feet deep over the roads the
life of the rural mail carrier is any
thing but pleasant. AS the snow melts
it transforms many roads into mire
that is almost impossible. On any
road, no matter how good, there is
tendency for the melting snow to soft
en- the subgrade and loosen the base
under the wearing surface, thus caus-
ing great damage to the road.
Road officials could do nothing bet
ter than to keep their equipment busy
in the winter removing the snow from
the road surfaces. It is one form Of
maintenance work that is very essen
tial in lengthening the life and use
fulness of the highways.

A tin can could be slipped over the
exhaust pipe and the hose inserted in
a hole in the can. This would serve
the purpose just as we'll as the flexible
pipe, except 1t would be difficult to
keep in place and would tend to rattle.
Fans Cause Trouble.
Efficient cooling of a motor --epends
somewhat upon the condition OF the
fan, or more particularly, the fan
blades. An instance is known where
a motorist had gone over his car and
even had q repairman investigate TO
find out why the motor heated. II
was found that three out Of the four
fan blades had in some manner De-
come Strengthened out, so as to pull
no air through the radiator, although
the fan was being driven by the belt
as it was designed to do. AS soon as
the blades were turned to their orig
inal position and air was pulled
through the radiator there was no
trouble about keeping the motor cool.
Clean the Fuel Tank.
Don't overlook the gasoline tank. In
the matter of cleaning, for at some
time it will be found this is neces-
sary thing. Here was recent cause
that baff1ed even the experts, and 1t all
came about because the owner ran
out Of gasoline. That was'aot great
misfortune. for he happened to be
near a supply station and the tank
was refilled. But the motor would not
start, although few moments before
it had been running. Gasoline would
not flow to the carburetor, although
the tank had just been filled.
When the gasoline ran out, became
entirely exhausted, even down to the
last drop, it carried into the gasoline
feed pipe some little particle of refuse
or dirt that previously had been float
ing ON the top of the gasoline. This
found it's way into the pipe and clogged
it, so as to prevent flow to the car
buretor. The remedy was simple
enough when the difficulty was dis
covered. The gasoline pipe was re-
moved and the particle of dirt blown
out. 1t is because of this that it is
essential that the tank be cleaned out
every once in while.

Patching a Maeadami1ld Road In
Maryland.

has consistently followed. this prac-
tice. The originally improved roads
in Maryland were comparatively in
expensive, costing only what the tax
payers were willing to pay for. The
first few years the average cost was
less than $4,000 a mile, In some
cases the work entailed considerable
grading and drainage, but in others
it amounted simply to resurfacing the
old turnpikes, which had already
been graded and drained.
Generally the roads built at that
time were macadam, IL feet wide
and six inches thick. Soon the width
was increased to IA feet. Later many
were widened still farther, some very
successfully, by adding concrete shoul-
ders on each side of the existing
macadam. This method of improving
roads makes it possible for traffic tC
continue unimpeded on the road while
the work is going on.
The macadam roads in Maryland
have given very good satisfaction, but
continuous care has been largely re-
sponsible for their success. The roads
are constantly patrolled and no hole
of any size is allowed to 60 unre'
paired. Material for patching is kept
at convenient points along the road
for the use of the patrolman. From
relatively small investment in an ad-
mittedly low-type road it builds up a
better one from year to year, always
conserving the bulk Of the previous
investment.

Whether you have starter or not,
q motor that is difficult to get under
way is an exasperating proposition
and the arrival Of cooler days and the
present low grade Of gasoline Will
make any motor difficult Of initial op-
GRAFTON. It is the absence Of heat that
brings about the hard starting motor,
due to the difficulty Of volatilizing the
low grade Of gasoline now on the
market
Truth is the fuel is so cold and
heavy it will not break up and mix
with air even If the suction of the
motor raises a sufficient quantity for
ordinary purposes. Most Of the cars
now built are fitted with hot air tubes
leading from the exhaust pipe to the
fixed air inlet of, the carburetor, thus
permitting only hot air to enter, which
aids in gasfying the gasoline.
This hot air tube will be Of no par
ticular avail while the engine is dead
cold, as, for instance, when it has been
standing all night, but is Of material
advantage in economical running and
in starting. The common practice is
to have hollow casting clamped to
the exhaust pipe and from the interior
Of this is run a flexible metal pipe to
the fixed air intake of the carburetor,
thus supplying warm air at all times
and aiding in making better mixture
and more economy in the matter of
fuel consumption.
Heat Generates Gas.
The warmer the air the more a
given quantity of gasoline is trans
ferred into gas, and so more economy
is insured. Besides, 1t has been found
that in even cool weather it is almost
impossible to so adjust carburetor
as to permit the motor to be throttled
down as we'll as it should be, and
again the hot air pipe comes into good
use.
Most Of the carburetor manufactur-
ers or agents have these pipes ready
for instant installation, and as they
cost little, no motorist should be with
out one. AS matter Of fact, large
section hose can be used so long as
some arrangement is made whereby it
can be secured at the exhaust pipe
end.

BENEFIT TO SUBURBAN LAND
One Advantage Of Road improvement
Would Be to Open Up Territory

Another change in the use of land
which may result from road improve
nent, especially near towns and cities,
Is to make it available for suburban 4
development. This might better be
termed increasing the home value Of
the land, and it will be found to ap-
ply where the land is retained for its
original uses as well as where, fol-
lowing road improvement, it is utilized
so as to yield higher return on agri-
cultural products. The home value Of
land is one to be given consideration.
