Figures obtained from the De-

rue show that the automobile in

during which the public to large
extent withdrew from the market
and refused to be smoked out by

Somewhat along this line reso-
luton was introduced on Septem-

provided for the construction and
protection of guideposts on rural
post roads. 1t was referred to the
House Committee on Postoffices and
Post Roads. but due to the leg sla-
tive situation it was not possible
to get action upon it. The resolu-
tion will be re Introduced.
1t authorizes the Postmaster Cen
eral to cooperate with the States
through their proper highway de-
partments. and with automobile
clubs in the construct on of guide
boards and guideposts on rural
post roads. The Postmaster Gem
cral also is authorized in the reso-
luton to have prepared specifica-

The resolution forbids the placing
of any advertising upon such guide
boards and guideposts, and author
zes the Postmaster General. in his
discretion. to permit the erection of
same along rural post roads by
state government departments and
BY responsible associations, clubs
and indiv duals. An interesting
feature of the resolution provides
that all rural route mail carriers
would be vested with all the pow

Settlement of Rail Strike
Adds Impetus to Pro-
pOsal.

A slight Improvement is reported
in connection with the transporta-
tion of construction materials used
in road building. according to re-
ports received in Washington. This
is due to the practical settling of
the railroad strikes, which has been
followed by an improved service on
the rail line and by a slight letting
up of the rigorous character of
regulations covering the transpor-
tation of coal, issued by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
Following the action taken some
weeks ago by the National Motor
lists Association in making a sur
vey of the situations attending the
road-building projects throughout
the country, at which time digest
of this survey was submitted to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
through the chairman. Charles q.
McChord. the n. NJ. A. has continued
to keep in touch with this situation.

NEED PLENTY OF WATER
TOPRESERVE AUTOMOBI, E
Motor Car Is Human Being, Says IN. c. A.
Technical Director.

by frequent washings in pure water.
This process hardens the varnish
and lenSthens the life of the luster.
When an auto Is driven over a
dusty or muddy road. so that il IS
more or less covered with dirt of
one kind or another. it should be
washed without delay. That is. 1t
should be washed before the mud
has had a chance TO harden, 4 this
is possible. But the hood should
not be washed until the engine has
had time to cool off a little
To Do n Good Job.
The equipment needed properly to
wash car should include two
clean soft sponges, two good s zed
pals. several soft chsmois skins.
some flannel cloth. a cake of pure
soap. clear running water. a hose
without a nozzle on it and a soft
duster.
Being thus equipped the owner is
prepared to wash h S car effectively.
The first thing to do is to remove
all the dirt that Is possible by ap-
plying a slow stream of cold water.
Then take a pail of water and
sponge and wash the car carefully
and thoroughly. If he finds gres Sc
spots. which are especially kelly
to lodge on the chassis, he should
use a little kerosene to remove
them.
Now he is ready to wash with an
other sponge. soap and water. This
process should be quickly followed
with good nsinG and in turn by
drying with the aid of a substan-
tial flannel cloth. Polishing with a
chamois completes the operat on
unless the owner wishes to brighten
body polish.
In polishing up a car it is i'm
portant to get some material that
is known to be efficient. Certain
oily poiishes tend to soften the
varnish and affect the surface so
that t is impossible to paint them
without scraping off all the original
coat of paint.
When a car is covered with dust
ii is preferable to play hose on
the surface rather than to brush
off the TT with a dry cloth In
using busters avoid those made Of
feathers. as they scratch the sur
face.
Keep Out of sun.
1t is not beneficial for the sur
face of an automobile to let il stand
for long time in the scorC.ing
heat of the sun. The warn sh tends
to check under this sort of strain.
1t is also disastrous to a brilliant
surface to allow it to stand out
doors during rainstorms and
throughout the n Ght.
The nickel parts of a car need
frequent consideration to keep them
from furnishing. If these parts are
rubbed often with an oily cloth the
luster will be preserved. Once in
VIII le, however. they should be
given regular polishing
When il comes to seats and
cushions. if they be leather or an
imitation thereof an occas onal ap-
pliCation of soap and water will
prove to be beneficial in its effect.
But avo the use of gasoline on
this part of the material.
OF course there comes a time in
the life of every car when a new
coat of paint and varnish is re-
quired to keep the surface properly
protected and to keep the mach ne
at its maximum sttractiveness in
appearance. 1t is better to paint
too frequently than too seldom.

"The Government is giv- ing legitimate oil men the best op- pOrtunity ever given to obtain the development of oil lands. A broad, liberal policy has been declared.
