PROGRAM ENTAILS
USE OF LARGE sum
Highway Commission Wants
10 Spend at Least $780,
900 Additional.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Dec. co.
j. The state highway commission
carries out us contemplated program
OF extension next year the Iegisla-
-ure VIII have 20 provide ways and
means for adding between $4,000
H9I and 81 900 600 10 the highway
fund. according 90 highway COM
mission officials
The program. which viii be de-
scr.Jed iu detail 90 the members Of
The general assembly. calls for the
addition of approximately 100 miles
20 the highway system and the eX-
pend.tBre az about S5.G00,000 OF fed
eraI aid projects. This system would
enable the state t0 construct more
than $50 miles Of paved roads. In
Guiding many bridges. Half this sum.
under HE federal aid plan, would be
repaid To- the state by the govern
meut as soon as the projects are
completed.
Prom Gasoline Tax.
The additional money should come
fho highway officials believe. from
the proposed tax OF cents on each
gallon Of gasoline consumed in In
diana Gov. McCray approves this
plan and will suggest. i'm his mes
sage TO the assembly. that the gaso-
line tax revenue go 10 the highway
commission.
Ii this is done it is probable that
the inheritance tax, which this year
Melted the commission sos, $ST.64,
viii go into the general fund and
the special highway levy Of 3.3 cents,
which this year brought in S2,05O,-
025.64. Will be abolished. While the
administration has given me express
sion on the elimination OF the special
highway tax, fl has been suggested
by q number Of legislators that its
discontinuance be a factor in the
gasoline tax proposal.
Increased Auto Fees Seen.
During the fiscal year ended Sep
temher 80. the highway commission
received S2,854.5O6.94 from automo-
bile license fees. The secretary OF
states office estimates that next year
the normal increase OF automobiles
Will raise this revenue 20 $500 600.
The legislature. however, probably
will enact new laws increasing the
license fees. especially those of
trucks and buses. and it is estimated
that legislation of this nature viii
add approximately 100000 to the
money derived from automoh
The highway commission takes
the position that at least small
part OF the general levy should be
retained for road purposes on the
theory that all taxpayers, and not
especially motor owners. are inter-
ested i'm good roads. II would favor
the retention of at least one mill
general levy. The estimated in
come OF the commission. therefore,
would be approximately as follows:
Automobile license fees. 600, 600
Gasoline tax ............ 5000, 600
One milf general levy .-.. 100000
Total .........$ $3.50, 900

DON'T BE AFRAID TO GIVE
 GILL BATTERY HARD USAGE

Don't be afaid to use your battery and give it plenty to do" is the rather startling advise that Black & Ellis, local distributor for Gill Batteries, gives to users of this we'll known non- separator battery.
 And Mir. Black continues:
 Battery users have been educated to pet their batteries, watch over them constantly ,and be very careful about using them. Inspection once a week, distilled water almost as often, overcharging, sulphating, burned sep arators, buckled plates, all of these have been drilled into the minds of the motorist in the effort to impress him that even though battery is out , of sight, it should not be out of mind and that careful attention will prolong its life and usefulness. All of which has been necessary for battery users have been prone to neglect this i'm portant part of their car equipment"
 "Now comes the GILL without sep arators, and with the cause for 95 per cent of the troubles removed and we deliberately ask Gill users to make their battery work hard, give it abuse in a mild form, and they will be sur prised at the way it responds. It is built to serve and it invites the op- portunity to have plenty to do."
 Backing this up is the wonderful GILL guarantee which says: The Gill Storage Battery Company guar antees the retail purchaser of this battery two years of satisfactory ser vice. If the battery has had proper care and has been inspected at a Gill service station at least once a month and fails to give this service, the pur- chaser may return it to any Gill ser vice station or to the factory and it will be repaired or replaced with a new battery free of charge.'"

LINCOLN AFFAIRS ADM|N|S-
 TERED BY FORD EXECUTIVES

DETROIT, July 6-(SpeciaD- Contrary to considerable opinion pre- valent, it is asserted by persons close to Henry Ford that the affairs of the Lincoln Motors, since the retirement of Henry M. Leland and his son from the corporation, will be administered by the Ford organization executives. While the cause of the break between she veteran engineer and Henry Ford is still unknown, it is declared by these authorities that incompatibility was not the reason. There has been no statement made, at this writing, to indicate the feeling on the part of either of the two families. No dis closure of facts was made public at the time of the separation. The only declaration concerning the matter came from Harold E. Emmons, attor- ney who acted for Ford in the pur- chase of the Lincoln plant. He stated that the large demand for Lincoln cars since the Ford purchase in February the change in factory ad- and that the Ford organ ization would assume charge.

driver in some location that forbids
 direct application from above. A way
 around this difficulty is to have an
 extra screw driver with the business
 end bent at right angles to the shaft
 at a point just above the flattened
 part of the shaft. This makes a tool
 shaped something like an "L" and it will get into locations that are other wise inaccessible.
 Have you ever been stopped on the road by that common ailment "out of gas?" It happens every day and any motorist who has experienced it prob ably remembers the difficulty he had in getting fuel back into the vacuum tank. Here is a way to ease the trouble. Take the tire pump out from under the rear seat. Give it a few strokes to clear out the dust, then drop the end in the gasoline tank of the car that has come to the rescue, draw up pump full of the fuel. Hold your finger over the end of the tube to prevent the gas running out. Carry the pump to your car and you will find that you can discharge the fuel into the plug hole of the vacuum tank as neatly as you can desire. This beats lying on the grund beneath the tank and trying to get enough gas by way of the drain plug to start your car. Slippery pedals cause accidents. The foot slips off at crucial moment and control of the car is lost. A pre- ventative is to wrap small chains around the pedal. This gives a skid proof grip to the. sole of the shoe.
 These are just a few of the little dodges which make motoring easier. One mind often hits on a neat trick which another fails to see. By pass ing them along the lot of motorists generally is frightened. Perhaps some of our readers have similar labor and trouble saving dodges which they may like to pass on to their fellows. We shall be glad to hear from them.

By Alexander Johnston Editor of MoToR

It frequently falls to the lot of the car owner who takes care of his own vehicle to solve various interesting little problems in the use and adapta- tion of the different tools he must use. Often, too often in fact, car owners will slight some reallly necessary job because he cannot do it easily with the tools that he has. In this article we shall endeavor to suggest some uses for tools and some ways of adapting tools to uses for which they were not intended, which may prove helpful.
 One of the. important operations which the car, owner must carry out from time to time is tightening the spring clips to obviate possible break age of the spring leaves. Now, the ordinary wrench can no more get at the spring clips than it can act as air planewings. Even socket wrenches are not always equal to making a complete tightening job. On the oth- CT hand, take the spark plug wrench as your mentor and apply the same principle to tightening the bolts of the spring clip and the work is simple and easy.
 Very often it is difficult to turn a screw which has become rusted in place. The power of the human fore arm is not great enough to move the screw. Try using a monkey wrench on the screw driver. The leverage so obtained is enough to start the screw. Most car owners know the little dodge of slipping a short section of pipe over the handle of the wrench to give greater leverage. In using this meth cd it is necessary to be careful or the threads may be stripped, and it is even possible to break the wrench by the increased power that is thus plac- ed upon it.
 It is often necessary to use a screw
