New Highway
Law Marks a
Step Forward
Roy d. Chaplin Asserts Day
When Government Will
Take Over Main Trunk
Lines Is Not Far Off

Inc day when the Federal govern
ment will take over the main Interstate
highways of the nation was brought
measurably closer by the recent enact
ment of the Townsend highway bill.
in the opinion of Roy D. Chaplin, chair
man of the highways committee of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce.
While the new highway act is not
all that students of the question would
like to see," said Mr.. Chaplin, ''the law
as 1t now stands marks a distinct step
forward in the evolution of our/high-
way policy. Under it's provisions Fed
eral aid can no longer be scattered
broadcast. Each state highway depart
ment is now compelled to designate 7
per cent of the mileage in the state as
a system, and Of this 7 per cent three
sevenths must consist of primary high
ways OF Interstate Importance on which
GO per of all Federal funds NAV be con-
centrated. In those states where high
way work is more advanced and where
the state highway departments desire
to concentrate more than 60 per cent
of their funds on their primary inter
state roads they are permitted to do
so, clause which will enable some
sixteen states to pursue the policy al
ready adopted of building tho most i'm
portant roads first.
Millions Saved in Equipment
with recognition of Interstate
roads now fundamental principle in
the national highway law, there are
numerous other scarcely less impor-
tant changes to be found in the new
act. The new requirements for main
tenance are so exacting as to insure
the nation against loss and to set a
high standard for the states. The same
is true in the clause which provid ss
that highways must be constructed
with due regard for future as we'll as
prevailing traffic needs. The new and
flexible formulas for public lands
states Will be far-reaching in it's bene-
hts as will the liberal appropriate
for forest roads and trails, which reach
total of $4,000, 900 for the next two
years. The clause which directs the
Secretary of War to transfer to the
Secretary of Agriculture surplus war
materials available for highway use
will effect saving7 of millions of dol
lars in the purchase of equipment and
will modernize highway methods of
construction and maintenance every
where.
Another provision Of farreaching
Importance is that requiring that

funds from state sources or so con-
trolled, with qualifying time limit of
three years TO permit necessary
changes in state laws to meet these
conditions The broadened definition
of highway department will require
proper organization of these important
units in the future"

New Parts for Old Is
HAYNES Used Car Policy

One of the most far-reaching ideas
that have been put into operation in re-
cent years in the automobile. field is
the "Trianglized" remanufactureds car
plan of Triangle Motors, Inc, Haynes
distributors at Chicago. A "triangl-
lied" car is a remanufactured car
which when finished can hardly be diff
ferentlated from new car of the same
make and model
The process of "trianglizing" a car
means the disassembling of the car
down to the naked frame, and then a
thorough and minute inspection OF
every part before it is put back.
Wherever a serious defect is discov-
cred new part replaces the old one
Expert motor builders and mechanics
are employed to do this work and TO
see that the manufactured car is
perfect in every detail before it is al
lowed to be placed on the showroom
floor for sale
In order that&the "trianglizingv proc
ess may be efficiently and rapidly ac-
complished Triangle Motors have es-
tablished completely equipped fac
tory, including the progressive system
of automobile assembly and final in
spection department whose standards
are as rigid and exacting as those OF
the best factory in the country.

Buy Used Cars
Now, Is Advice
OfLocal Dealer
Prices Unusually Attractive
at This Time Owing to Ex-
cess Supply, but This Is
Only Temporary Situation

~ Buy used cars now" is the advice
given motorists by F. l.. Sanford
. manager bort Motor Car Company
New York, Dort distributors.
THE extreme low point in the used
car market has been reached" Mr..
Sanford says. From now on the ten
dency will be toward a strong reaction
for higher prices in re-possessed cars
Immediately following a period of
peak production came a sharp break
in the demand for motor cars. Before
the production program could be cur
tailed there existed a temporary sur
plus of supply over demand for new
cars,
Manufacturers then began produc-
ing on a greatly reduced basis until
the market should once more reach a
normal state.
"All these determining influences
have affected the used car market.
Attractive prices calculated to stimu-
late demand caused the new car buyer
to take advantage of lower costs.
Many thousands of these new car buy
ers had used cars to dispose of. Auto
mobile dealers began taking these used
cars in trade and offering liberal prices
for them. To-day, however, very few
dealers are accepting used cars.
Supply Exceeds Demand
"Just now the used car supply tenn
porarily exceeds the demand, with the
result that used cars are lower to-day
than they have been and probably ever
will be again. To prove the truth of
this statement buyers need only as
certain the period during which any
used car has been in service, then
figure depreciation of 25 per cent PEI.
year for the period in use, this being
the percentage used by the United
States government, basing the depre-
citation not on pre-war price of the car,
but its present and greatly reduced
price. You will find the present prices
run between 35 and so per cent per
year, even figures on present low
prices.
''This indicates that the final low
point in the used car market is here.
Undoubtedly between now and
spring we will see decided stiffening
in used car prices, which will permit
present buyers to purchase a used car.
have the use of it and be in position
to sell to advantage in the spring or
summer

Locomobile Has Unusual
Used Car Sales Policy

A policy recently laid down by the
LocomobIe factory, wherein even the
smallest part entering into the con-
struction of Locomobiles is guaranteed
absolutely as to mileage of service, lis
pointed out by B. T. La Pierre, man
ager of the Locomobile Company's
used car department, as matter that
should receive serious consideration in
the purchase of a rebuilt Locomobile.
~ know of no automobile concern
that even attempts a guaranty such as
that given by our company" says Mr..
La Pierre, land when we sell rebuilt
Locomobile the purchaser buys prac-
tica1ly with the same certainty of sat
isfaction as the new car buyer. Where
we use the word rebuilt in connection
with Locomobiles, we mean the term in
itS literal sense-rebuilt from the
smallest part up-offering, in fact,
car that in looks and service can hard
ly be distinguished from new Loco
mobile"

cape readily, and naturally the cylinder
Of the engine is not cleaned at the
exhaust. stroke. Result: n is impos-
sible to bring in full cylinder of new
gas on the next intake stroke. There
is not full charge to explode, and
this means loss of power to the
engine.
Cases are known where the throttle
was opened wide without any increase
in power. Trying to find out what the
matter was, the driver opened the "cut
OUT and this caused the machine to
accelerate very rapidly
In other cases when the engine was
cranked there would be few expIo-
sions, sputter and stop, and the
reason was that the muffler was so
ciogged that it was impossible to ex-
haust the gas from these few explo-
sions; the cylinder remained full of
burned gas, and, Of course. could not
take IN further supply. These, Of
course, arc extreme cases.
The writer had the following expert
ence not long ago:
He was riding in car that could
hardly make headway against strong
wind blowing. This meant frequent
use of the second-spee gear, which in
itself causes an undue use of gasoline.
He found on experimenting that the
mufler ''cut out" pedal could be used in
place of the accelerator pedal; that is,
when the muffier "cut out" was open
the engine had considerably more pow
er and imm ediately speeded up. In
fact, he kept the "cut out" open most
Of the way home and. had no more
trouble in bucking the head wind.
OF course, where the engine is
stopped or there is decided decrease
in power the owner will hunt for the
trouble, and find it, perhaps, in the
muffier He might not notice less
serious cases where, while the muffier
is somewhat clogged, it does not de-
crease the power strikingly; but even
in these less serious cases it will often
be found that the power of the motor
may be materially increased by having
the muffier cleaned; yet it is seldom
done, even when the car is supposed
to be overhauled completely Many
drivers seem to think the mufier can
take care of itself
