IMPROVED
ROADS
Smooth Surface Needed
for Concrete Highways

II we are going to construct con-
crete surface for our primary roads,
it is very important that the surface
of the concrete should be made
smooth. Not only does this smooth
ness add to the comfort of the traffic,
but 1t is also factor in the lasting
quality of the road surface. The or
binary layman very seldom thinks of
the impact as the load passes over the
rough road. II the pavement is rough
the impact may be serious. Recent
experiments by the United States bu-
reau of roads have given us data
concerning this impact, which are very
interesting.
For instance, If truck wheels drop
one inch when travelling at speed
of 16 miles an hour, and if the wheel
load is 5000 pounds, they will deliver
q blow to the pavement of $4,000
pounds, or seven times as much as the
load of the wheel. Under the same
load, the pneumatic tired wheels de-
liver an impact equivalent to 14.OOO
pounds.
Often this impact is not caused by
rough pavement but by a defective
wheel, or a small obstruction dropped
on the road surface. or If large skid
chains are used. The wheel strikes
the obstruction, rises over it, and falls,
delivering an impact. Or, If the solid
rubber tife Is defective, each revolu-
ton of the wheel delivers an impact
to the pavement.
1t may be that with our heavy
truck traffic, the cement surfacing
will be stressed to an extreme extent
by this impact on account of the
rough surface or defective wheel.
The surface cracks and breaks, and
repairs are necessary.
The surface of the concrete for our
roads can be made smooth If care is
taken in surfacing the same, and the
inspectors should see to 1t that this
surfacing is rightly done.-B. B..

Jacks Protect Highways
From Overloaded Trucks

Weighing jacks with which the load
carried by heavy truck may be as
certained by road police are helping
Maryland protect its new state roads
from damage by overweight vehicles.
Most roads are constructed to with
stand a moving load of ten tons.
Heavier loads break down the sub
grade and start ruts, the police assert.
Each weighing machine consists Of
q screwjack operating in an oil-filled
cylinder. When four Of these jacks
are placed under the suspected truck,
lifting it clear of the ground, its
weight is transferred TO the oil cylin-
ders and can be read directly on the
pressure gauges. If the truck is found
to weigh more than len tons, the ex-
cess material is unloaded by the road
side. The jacks are of aluminium al
10y, weighing only 40 pounds each, so
that the inspectors can carry them
about in light car.
State officials estimate that this
supervision reduced overlooking rs
per cent within 80 days. California
has also recently passed a law
limiting the weight of motor
trucks, and road officials and tax
payers are seeking to reduce the
maximum permissible weight below
the limit now set-3O,000 pounds gross
weight for four-wheeled trucks, and
10000 pounds for six-wheeled vehicles,
providing the axles are at least 90
inches apart, and there are not more
than 800 pounds on each inch of rub
her tire width. = Popular Science

st. Louis, Mo-. being one of the CEN

naturally astonished when some one
suggested that sheep. COW and a

census OF sixth grade pupils disclosed
that 40 per cent had never seen a
sheep. that II per cent had never seen
a pig, and that IL per cent knew what
COW looks like only from pictures.

RETARDED SPARK Is
INJURIOUS TO AUTO
0verheateu Condition Harmful TO
Pistons, Cylinders and Other
Parts of Engine.
(By william H. Stewart. Jr.. President
Stewart Automobile School.)

(By William H Stewart, Jr., President
Stewart Automobile School-)
You have all seen the fellow who
runs his "steaming," clanking car
around town. 1t looks for all the world
like baby locomotive, but perhaps be
does not know that this 0verheated
condition injuries the pistons. cylin-
ders, bearings and all internal parts
of the engine. Shortly he learns this
for himself-after he has paid big
repair bill for information that could
have been obtained from any instruc-
ton book.
If you run the car with the spark
retarded, the engine will overhead and
carbonize. A similar effect il caused
by q crippled fan or an impeded water
flow. If your engine overheats 1t Is
advisable to stop instantly and find the
trouble. In an emergency very wise
thing to do is to pour an abundance
of oil into the crank case. Your ex-
haust will smoke. but the additional
oil win offer protection to the inside Of
the engine until relief is at hand.
Clean the belt occasionally and rid
1t of the oil and gummy matter. Hitch
up your garden hose and send its spray
through the openings in the radiator,
which probably is clogged with mud.
Do this from the engine side Of the
radiator; otherwise you may short cir
cult the electric system. As further
precaution see that all hose connec-
lions are good and not partially closed
on the inside, thereby retarding the.
water flow. This closing, though very
slight will retard radiation and cause

Growing Popularity of
Autos Shows Road Needs

With the growing popularity Of the
automobile, there has come parallel
increase in the need of building up the
highways. OF course, 1t is not to be
done within few years. Many sec
lions of the Old World have excellent
highways. but they have been built for
centuries. But certainly we should
begin now to lay the foundation of a
great highway system.

Abandon Military Moves

Lausanne.--M. Venizelos and Ismet

Preparations Saturday avoiding war
which might set the Balkans ablaze.
The $1,000, 100000 claimed by the
Turks for devastations committed by
the Greeks during their retreat in
Asia Minor has been cancelled, the
Turks accepting the following COM
PROMISE:
/. In the treaty Greece acknowl-
edges moral responsibility for the de-
vastations and Turkey renounces the
right to indemnity on account Of the
economic status of Greece.
2. The district of the Karagatch
railway from Karagatch to the Bull
garian frontier is given to Turkey.
3. Ships captured since the formal
armistice In 1918 are mutually resti-
tuted.
Turkey gains greatly by the last
article, as Greece captured many
Turkish ships, while Turkey captured
few Greek vessels.
Minister Grew, American observer,
played a highly important role in the
settlement, he verbally transmitted to
Ismet, an urgent appeal from the
state department to the Turks to
make peace. The appeal emphasized
that another war in the near east
would brighten away American CAPT.
tai for years to come and delay the
reconstruction OF Turkey.
1T is peace" said NJ. venizelos, the
first man out OF the meeting. He was
smiling.
M. Venizelos and Ismet had Ru-
manian delegate, NJ. Diamandi, be-
tween them during the early part OF |
the discussion. Suddenly M. Venice
los got up and asked M. Diamandi to
change seats with him, and sat down
besie Ismet. This cordial act helped
to bring peace.
