EXTENSIVE SURVEY OF ROADS
Mileage, Cost. Character Of construc-

Americas far-hung network Of road
ways is soon to be measured accurate
ly in terms Of mileage, cost. charac-
ter of construction, Improvement work,
and general condition by the bureau
Of public roads Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. The sur.

undertaken and the first In seven
years. Is to be made with the aid Of
state and local officials the country

While most commodities used by
man have advanced In cost during the
past decade, automobile tires are
notable exception.
Figures just compiled bring out the
significant fact that tire prices have
steady downward trend since the year
1910, with only comparatively small
increase during the war and after-war
days.
Tires of standard make can now he
bought at lower prices than before the
war, and indeed lower than at any
time since 1910.
And this has been done without
sacrifice of quality, for every tire user
knows that he is getting twice the
average mileage from his tires that
he was getting a few years ago.
This unusual result has been ac-
complished through the tremendously
increased demand and use, which per-
mitted quantity production, and in
larger part by means of the successive
improvements in manufacturing proc
esses, which brought quality up and
costs down.
Chart Tells Story.
The accompanying chart tells a
striking story Of the progress since
1910 of an industry whose products
approach the billion dollar mark in
total annual figures.
Studying the chart In detail. 1t will
be noted that starting with 1910, the
general range of commodities In the
United States ran about uniform up
until 1915, while cotton and rubber,
the two chief materials used In the
production Of tires, had a general
downward trend.
Corresponding to this. the price OF
the finished tires. similarly moved
downward until in January, 1915,
they reached the lowest point they
had ever reached, point not again
to be touched until the price reduc-
tions that took place this winter.
At this time. 1915, tires we're about
SO per cent lower than In 1910.
Crude rubber prices turned upward
In the spring of 1915 and the next
year saw long staple cotton start on
Its spectacular career, mounting high
er and higher. passing all former
levels ever dreamed OF and reaching
In the summer of 1920 figure 2s7 per
cent higher than In 1910
At about the same time labor costs
began to rise very sharply all over the
country. affecting every industry that
employed men. With raw materials
and labor costs both increasing. the

loss and still the engine may continue
to run fairly well, according to the
Ideas Of an amateur driver.
Try the Crank
II an engine is not running well and
a compression loss is suspected, the
simplest way to detect 1t is to use the
crank and turn the engine over by
hand, and thus feel the compression
on each individual cylinder You will
nearly always find that some pistons
will go over compression much easier
than others, and this means that some
where there Is leak In this cylinder.
The number of miles which a car
should run without having the valves
reground varies greatly. depending on
oiling and other engine conditions.
With the average car under normal
running conditions, however, II is
probably wise to have the valves
ground at least once every 5000 TO
10000 miles, depending on the operat-
ing condition of the motor.

MICHIGAN KEEPS ROADS OPEN
About 1900 Miles Of Highways Being

Michigan is keeping open about l..
200 miles of its highways this winter
In order that motor vehicle traffic may

Michigan first adopted the road

Thousands of gallons Of gasoline are

An important detail to watch to
keep the engine running efficiently is
the compression. A motor with faulty
