II is not generally realized how much
the useful power of an engine is re-
duced by the friction of its pistons up
on their cylinder walls. Normal pis-
ton friction is altogether the greatest
mechanical loss In the engine, If not
In the whole car and, IL IL becomes alb

suffers in a marked degree. The fuel
may do its full work upon the plstons,
but If this force is too largely wasted
In overcoming their friction, the power
left over for moving the car is serl-
ously reduced.
In the case Of cars, in the engines of
which new tightly-htted pistons and
rings have just been installed, useful
power Is sometimes so diminished by
undue piston friction that even slight
grades cannot be negotiated on "hlgh"
until these parts become smoothed and
"worn in" by their prolonged mutual
rubbing action. Such condition is

for 1t is fact that. without causing
acute damage TO the parts. excessive
friction may exist during much OF the
time that an engine Is In operation, to
the detriment OF It's performance and
with extensive rasultfnp wear
To secure perfect piston fabrication
and thus 10 minimize friction, IL is es-
sentlal that there should always be an
unbroken oil film maintained between
pistons and cylinder walls and, to In
sure this, the oil must not become so
thin as 10 be squeezed out from be-

mental thinning Of the oil may result
from Its quality or its grade being such
that II loses Its "body" or thickness at
the higher engine temperatures. or II

the plstons, dissolylng the lubricant
upon them and entering the crank-case

BOOM IN HIGHWAY BUILDING
Federal Aid Has Been Most lmpor-

Federal aid has been probably the
most important factor in the big boom
in highway building OF recent years,
and there are now many long stretches
of trunk-line highway serving rich ag-
rlcultural and Industrial sections of
the country which are almost entirely
federal-aid construction.
The United States Department of Ag-

part OF Illinois. thence TO Chicago by

MAKE HOURS COUNT

CAVING time is wasted effort unless
W YOU utilize the time you save.

CAVING time is wasted effort unless
~ you utilize the time you save.
Most people are in a hurry. They
rush to their offices in the morning.
They rush to their homes at night
When they get to the Office they sit
around waiting for dinner.
About three-quarters of the aver
age mans time Is spent "sltting
around" And time spent sitting
around is always wasted time.
You are given about eight hours to
loaf If you want to and eight hours
TO work.
Unless you have an unusually easy
Job, you can save little out OF the
eight hours working time.
You can save from one to five hours
out of the eight, at least once or
twice week, If you are careful.
But unless you use that time, and
use 1t wisely, there will be no sense
in saving 1t.
Most successful men are very care
full to save a little time out of the
so-called idle eight hours.
They use this either to add to the
efforts they put forth on their regular
business, or to take up something re-
lated to their business which is incon-
venient to do during working hours.
In other words, use their time as
intelllgently as they do their money.
They make 1t earn dividends. And
time set to work In that fashion Is
always a good investment.
Steamships, railroads, rapid transit
lines have together effected an I'M
mense saving of time for the human
race.
No longer does a man need to spend
a month, practically idle all the time,
going from London to New York. He
can go in less than a week, with three
weeks saved.
Those three weeks are worth money.
They may mean success. Use them
and a considerable share of all the
time you save, and your output will
soon begin to show a gratifying in
crease.

You Auto Know

That one of the principal
reasons that tires wear out be-
fore their guarantee has ex-
pired is carelessness In driving
along poorly paved streets or
rough roads. The "shell holes"
which appear in macadam or
asphalt streets especially in the
spring, after the Ice has loos-
ened a portion of the hard sur
face. are particularly hard on
tires, for the sharp edges may
cash the fabric and the jar in
cldent to the sudden rise and
fall may give rise to bruises
and bllsters which injure the in
ner casing.
The habit Of driving in ruts
or along car-tracks, Is also very
hard on tires, for the projecting
sides rub against the side Of the
tire above the tread and soon
wear this away. making 1t easy
for water to enter and rot the
fabric. In addition, turning cor
ners at a high rate of speed or
skldding of any kind-whether
on a wet street, or In starting
or stopping too suddenly-nlso
grlnds the tires and causes
needless wear. Habits of this
kind leave their marks plainly
upon the tires and prevent the
driver from securing the refund
TO which he Is entitled II the
guaranteed mileage is not forth
coming.

Mother Nature, like the true moth
er she is, never forgets her children.
Every hour she writes with her own
fair hand sweet letters of love and
solicitous notes Of warning, which II
we understand them would take us
safely through the shadows.
In the somber woods, in the silver
streams, In the blades of grass, in the
fields of golden wheat, in the rustlns

We fall into the smiling habit OF

conceptions of life, which we do our
utmost to accept as real. In the chill
of the autumn atmosphere there
comes a ghost Of doubt.
When the first fire is lighted and
we turn to the cracking logs for
warmth and cheer, our vision clears
and we see then the error of our way
quite frequently though not in time
to escape our self-inflicted punishment.
On the verge of winter, with bent

Elimination Of the "detour bogey,"
the hane OF every touring motorists
life is seen as the successful outcome
OF recent experiments in what may
be termed "spllt crown" construction
of concrete roads.
The new method lies simply IN lay
ing paving over but half of the road
bed at one time. keeping the remain
Ing half open to traffic as the work
progresses. This method has been
found particularly effective in rough
and hilly country where detours are
practically impossible, but urgent ap.
peals from automobile owners who
have experienced the torture Of de-
touring by night, may bring 1t into
general use.
Cooperation Essential.
Careful cooperation between the
motoring public and the contractor is,
however. essential. BY stationing
responsible guards Mt each end of the
open strip, traffic may be sent over
the route, first In one direction and
then I'm the other without danger.
Great care must be exercised by
the contractor In order to avoid set
tlement of dust particles on the fresh.

proper curing of the concrete II is
necessary that he keeps the unlm-
proved side of the road well sprinkled

affect the concrete to an extent that
might cause scaling" in later years.
Following the completion of the

At the end OF this period II may then

TWO Principal Virtues.
Although slight increase In orig.
lnal cost may be charged against this
method, 1t has two principal virtues
which commend IL to the taxpayer
and the motorist alike. Doing away
as II does with the detour, II cuts
cost OF motor operation more than
half aside from the big item OF de-
creased danger and loss of time and
patience. Secondly, II eliminates the
cross-wlse cracks which appear In
some hard-surface roads through let
ting down OF the grading after the
paving is completed. The Joint where
the two sides come together leaves
an almost imperceptlble line In the
exact center OF the roadway. This is
known as construction Joint and
allows just sufficient play" to obvl-
ate the chance that imperfect grading
or poor designing on the part of the
contractor might result in unslghtly
cracks.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"DoN'T"

THE word don't" is in gen
i eral use and It is recognized
by grammarians as a good Eng
lish word, but 1t must be remem-
bered that don't is contrac-
ton of the verb "do" and the
adyerb mot" and It is equlva-
lent, therefore, to do not" and
not TO "does not" Don't"
should be used only where the
two words "do not" may be put
In its place.
Correct usage permits the EN-
ployment of don't" only with
plural noun or pronoun, or with
the personal pronoun "T' or the
personal pronoun you" Never
say "he don't" "she don't" "it
DON'T etc. Even the most un-
trained ear will detect the error
when, for example, she do not
go" Is spoken or written, but
the incorrectness of "he don't
go" is not so apparent.
Such use of the word don't"
as In the sentence, "One swal-
low don't make spring" Is
heard frequently; but It's incor-
rectness becomes apparent when
"do not" is substituted for
"don't" and the sentence be-
comes zone swallow do not
make a spring"
The proper word TO use when
a contraction for "does not" is
desired is doesn't; for exam.
