AS to the ability of the traffic to
carry this burden" it was stated.
IL may be said that the road
licenses at present are probably not
more than per cent of the total
cost OF the transportation, that is
ihe truck owner or the automobile
owner pays in road fees only about
~ out OF every 500 of fixed
charges and operating expenses.
therefore, IL we double this 81 and
make 1t 81 for licenses or road fees.
we find that the total cost of trans
portation would be only Increased

communities and other property
| holders ask that road construction
be stopped so that road taxes may
be diminished, it would appear that
our road programs might still pro-
coed II only those who use the
roads are asked to pay for them"
From 1910 to 1921, the motor We
hicles increased in number from
$4,000 to 9.750, 900, that Is 1900 per
cent, and the trucks increased from
2.s per cent to 1913 per cent of total
vehicles. Now there are nearly
s,5o0,o00 automobiles and 1,333,oo0
trucks.

WARNS DRIVERS NOTTOSKD
NTODANGER ON WETDAYS
Sudden Usage of Brakes Only Adds to Posi-
bility of Motor Accidents.

The season Of slippery pavsments
is here. Most every motor-car
driver hates winter weather, and
we'll he has cause, too. Considera-
ton and preparation for the months
in which skidding takes place
should be made Immediately.
Skidding is caused by the lack or
loss of traction. By throwing. on
the brakes of a sudden or stepping
on the accelerator with a bang, add
to the dangers of slippage.
The average motorist fails to
realize that as soon as his car starts
skidding the front wheels should
be turned in the direction which the
car is sliding and not the opposite
direction.
For the motorist who does much
driving in wet weather this set of
rules should aid him.
Put your skid chains on at the
first sign of wet weather. Watch
for Expressions in the street which
appear. falsely shallow when filled
with water. Do not straddle car
tracks Apply the brakes with the
clutch in, thereby decreasing your
chance Of skidding. Do not put too
much faith in your chains and think
you san take any kind of a chance.
When turning a corner or curve,
do not jam your foot down on the
accelerator too soon. Be positive
that your brakes are equalized and
keep them so.
In its efforts to prevent accidents,
the Pennsylvania Railroad recently
made a test at a crossing over the
Lincoln Highway in Southern Penn
sylvsnia- This test, which was
made by the Railroads Safety First
Organization, showed that on the
average one in every three automo-
biles approached the crossing at
reckless speed.
The crossing selected for the OBJ
servations Is 500 feet west of Fort
Loudon Station. on the South Penn
sylvania branch of the Cumberland
Valley division. The view for
drivers of automobiles Is obstructed
until they are almost right on the
tracks. A stop watch was used by
the observer. He took the numbers
Of only those vehicles which ap-
preached the crossing at excessive
speed.
Between 1880 and $40 D. m.
thirty-four license numbers were
noted from the ninety-nine cars
which passed over the crossing. OF
the forty going east, fourteen, and
Of the fifty-one going west, twenty,
were observed to be carelessly
driven. The average speed of these
cars reported was twenty-five miles
an hour or better, the lowest speed
nineteen miles an hour.
The driver of one car, when with
in twenty-five feet of the crossing,
was observed to turn his head to
converse with his passenger.

O. For both valve and ignition
timing, is 1t correst to use fy-whee
markings?
A. 1t is o. K. II you check youl
work. Fly-wheel markings can moi
be depended on, however, as some
time a fly wheel, after having beer
removed. is not put back on in its
original position.
Q. How do the pistons in "a six
cylinder engine travel?
A. They travel in pairs, although
the explosions do not occur that
way; / and 6. 2 and 5, 8 and 4 WORK
together mechanically. In other
words, they have the same throw
although the explosions occur in
the order of 1-5-3-6-2-4, or 1-4-2-S.
3-5, depending upon order of valve
opening.
Q. What is meant by a concentric
type carbureter float and what ad-
vantage does It have?
A. The function of the float is to
shut off the gasoline flowing into
the carbureter from the supply sys-
tenn. This 1t does when 1t rises
to a certain predetermined level. A
concentric type of float Is a metal
or cork ring shaped like a dough
nut. The needle valve. from which
the gas Is sucked. Is arranged In
the center of the float. The advan-
tage claimed for this type of float
is that varying positions Of the car
In ascending or descending grades
will not affect the gasoline level al
the needle valve.
Q. Will you please tell me how
many ohms in an ampere?
A. The resistance of a circuit is
that property which tends to resist
the flow of current. An ohm is the
unit of resistance. An ampere Is
the unit of current flow. 1t Is a
measure, Of the current passing a
given point in a given time. obvi-
ously there are no ohms in an am
pere. .

SAYS TRUCKS Will
RESCUE RAILROADS

Prospects for future business ex-
pansion are so favorable that the
railroads will soon be forced again
to rely upon motor truck transpor-
tation as they did in the traffic jam
of 1s17-1s20. in the opinion of A. J.
Brosseau. secretary of. the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce.
In a recent address before the
shippers conference. of Greater New
York, Mr.. Brosseau said: Better
general business conditions and
more satisfactory : results as a
whole can be reasonably expected
this year than last. Bankers are
entering the new year with consid-
erably greater ease of mind than
they felt at the opening of 1897.

ment must come about. Now 1t APP

the afterwar leveling process will
be completed.
