BETTER
ROADS
BREAK BODYBUILDING MARKS
During 1922 Fiscal Year 10000 Miles
of FederaI-Aid Roads Were
Constructed.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture,)
All records for road construction in
the United States were broken during
the fiscal year 1922, according to the
annual report of the bureau of public
roads, United States Department of
Agriculture. During that period TO-
o miles of federal-aid roads and
more than an equal mileage of high
ways without federal assistance were
constructed.
From the viewpoint of federal-aid
progress the year divides itself into
two periods, n before and the other
after the passage of the federal high
way act. The first period was n season
of great construction activity, during
which the greater part of the work OF
completing the 10000 miles was lone.
1t was also one of almost complete
%stagnation with respect to the initia-
ton of projects.
When the year opened there was an
unobligated balance of SIS, 1884 of
the federal-aid appropriations, and the
projects initiated since the beginning
of the work aggregated 35,402 miles.
BY the end of October, 1921, the un-
obligated balance had been reduced to
S11. 714,32S, the lowest 1t had been
since 1913, Only two states at that
time had a balance of more than ST.
100000 to draw upon for new projects,
and a number were so reduced that
their balance was not sufficient to pay
for another mile of road.
Just before the passage of the fed
eral highway act the mileage submit
ted by the states had not grown during
the fiscal year, but had actually dimln-
ished as a result of the withdrawal
and substitution of projects. The to-
tai mileage proposed was only 35.3T9
miles, as compared with she 35,402
miles of four mclths before. Immedl-
ately upon the approval of the act the

SAVE AUTO FROM
WINTER TROUBLE
Care of Finish, Engine and Bat
terry Among Most Important
Items in Cold Weather.
HOT WATER QUITE INJURIOUS
Heat Is One of Vital Factors In Driv-
ing During Severe Weather-Use
of Radiator Shutter or Cover
Is Favored.

Protecting the finish of a highly
polished car and conserving the heat
energy generated by the motor are two
highly important things to any motor
list.
Another highly important feature of
winter driving is the care of the stor-
age battery in the car.
The finish of a car may De exposed
to serious damage during winter, due
to the fact that mud and water frozen
on the paint dull the finish and cause
the paint to chip. During the winter
months extreme care should be taken
to keep the finish free from dirt. Con
trary to popular belief, hot water
should not be used in cleaning a car,
as it is equally as injurious as mud
and ice. If 1t is not possible to TAXI
the car into a warm place for wash
ing, where the ice will thaw and can
be easily removed. lukew arm water
may be used without injury to the fin
ish.
Heat Vital Factor.
Heat is one of the all-important fac
tors in winter driving. During the
summer months the average driver has
little trouble with getting his o
warm enough to operate smoothly and
economically, but during the winter it is
difficult for some cars to warm the mo-
tor enough to insure this efficient opera
ton.
AS a result gasoline passes by the
pistons and gets into the crank case /;
the gasoline does not give it's maxi
mum power and the oil is not heated
to such a point where 1t will lubricate
the bearings and gears as it Is intend
ed to do.
This. passing of gasoline to the
crank case may be considerably re-
duced by the use of a radiator shutter
or cover for keeping the engine warm
during idle periods when it may be
left standing out of doors or in unheat-
ed garages. Numerous devices are be-
ing marketed for this purpose, ranging
from a waterproof covering to an auto
matte control shutter. A hand-operated
shutter which serves the purpose of
conserving the heat of the engine to a
very great extent and is very economi-

any reliable accessory dealer. There
are also on the market several devices
which are quickly and easily installed
and prove economical heating units.
Battery Important Factor.
The storage battery of a car is an
a%ll-important feature Of the operation
and one too frequently neglected. Care
should be taken at the start of the cold
weather TO see that it is properly
charged. Any service station will be
glad to give you this information.
During the winter months. due to
the short days, the lights of a car are
used n great deal more than in sum
iner. The starter, also, is used consid-
erably In getting the car running when
1t is cold, and this results In drawing a
great deal of power from the battery.
For these reasons the battery dis
charges more quickly han in summer,
and It should be remembered that a
fully charged battery never freezes.
while n rundown one will do so easily.
Freezing of a battery will ruin 1t and
cost the owner n large repair bill.
