PUTTING CHAINS
ON is EASY JOB
Unless Method of Attaching Is
PraCticed a Bit, 1t Is Usual
Iy Awkward Process.

(By ERWIN GREER President Greer Col
lege Of Automotive Engineering. Chicago)
Very often it is only that the auto
mobile owner is not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the method of attach
ing chains that causes him to take a
chance when the street or pavement
is wet, and not put them on. Unless
the method Of attaching chains is
practiced bit, 1t is an awkward
process, and as such an automobilist
rather than spend number of min
utes fumbling with what he consid-
ers to be badly fitting attachments,
will run along and may meet with a
serious accident.
Practice Is Helpful.
The first couple of times that chains
are put on it may take a considerable
while to do it, and the motorist may
even believe, although he has the in
Dictated size for his tires. that the
things are not the right dimension.
A little practice, however, will make
moment or SO, and this is time that
any one can well afford to spend. In
putting on chains it used to be thought
necessary to jack up the wheels, but
now, of course, it Is realized that@this
is not needed.
The best way Is to lay the chains
over the wheel with the hook part to-
ward the rear and tuck in the other
end snugly underneath the wheel in
front.
thus, the car Is started and run ahead
only foot or so. This pulls the part
of the chain that was tucked in under
the front wheel taut and leaves some
extending beyond the point where the
wheel touches the ground. It also
tightens up the hook end.
Then 1t is only a simple matter of
joining up the ends. OF course, it is
suggested that the end on the inside
Of the wheel be hooked up first. This
can be done by hand and the chains
will fit as a rule tightly enough.
Learn to Put on Chains.
By way of conclusion it is earnestly
recommended that little time be CIV
en- to learning how to put on chains.
1t was the experience of the writer
that what at first was laborious and
bungling process became after cou-
pie of trials a matter of seconds only,
with the result that, "at first drop of
rain" the chains go on, as they should.

GASOLINE TO BE PREFERRED
Better Than Kerosene for Washing
Bearings, Cleaning Brakes and
Running Board.

For all cleaning purposes, including
washing Of bearings, cleaning brakes
and running boards, gasoline is al
ways to be preferred to kerosene for
the reason that it evaporates directly
after completing the job. Gasoline,
showeyer, should not be used for ex-
ternal cleaning of the engine; and
kerosene that is used for this pur-
pose should only be applied when the
power plant is cold.
Any opening in the valve tappet
compartment when warm air can blow
in is likely to result in drying the
valve stems and making them stick.
Such an opening, when found, can be
plugged with felt.
A little scheme that makes it easier
to back out of driveway is to make
a little notch in the under side of the
steering wheel nearest the driver when
the front wheels are In a straight
ahead position. If the driver starts
backing straight and keeps the notch
in the original position the car ought
not to run off its course.

DRY BATTERY FAILS RAPIDLY
In Many Instances Real Reason is
That They Are Not Protected
From Moisture.

Car owners who use dry batteries
often have occasion to lament the
brief existence of these devices. In
many cases the real reason why the
dry batteries fail so rapidly is simply
because they are not protected from
moisture, dirt and excessive vibration.
1t is easy to make a stout wooden box,
fitted with cover and permanent
terminal connections. The sides, bot
tom, ends and cover are made of hard
wood three-eighths of an inch thick.
The box may be made to accommo-
date as many cells as desired, either
in single or double rows. The various
parts of the box are screwed together
and the inside Is given an even Goa.

made to fit flush with the box sides.

Never-stop Railway.

A never-stop railway, the trains Of
which require neither driver. conduc-

with at the Kursaal, South End, where
800 yards of track have been laid for
testing purposes
The speed of the train IS automati-

it arrives at a station the train slows
down to about one mile and half an
hour, so that passengers can step on
to landing stage" level with the sta
ton platform. The principle is sim
liar TO that Of the escalator. But once
past station the train gathers speed
up to "a miles hour. It's speed is
controlled by a screw, which is driven

RidlcuIe Tor srnmes, E1ole.

Among those who thought the earth
hollow and inhabited within was Capt.
John Cleves Symmes, who lived from
1870 to 1929. He claimed that the
earth was open at both The North
and South poles for the admission of
light and air. and contained within il
other eccentric globes, all inhabited in
like manner. His belief In this the
DRY was so strong. notwithstanding the
general ridicule heaped upon Symmes'
Hole'-as it was popularity called
that he both wrote and lectured on
the subject.
A petition was finally presented to
congress in 1923 asking that an ex-
petition be fitted out to investigate
but nothing was done about tide

Successful Type of Road
Developed in Tennessee

The highway department. of David
son county. Tennessee, where Nash
vile is the county seat, has developed
an economical and successful type Of
road by salvaging with surface treat
ment 215.8 miles Of old gravel and wa
terbound maeadam. These roads, ac-
cording to ]. G. Creveling, chairman Of
the Davidson county highway commits
sion, comprise 20 per cent of. the coun-
ty system and carry 30 per cent Of the
traffic.
we have been resurfacing out old
macadam and gravel roads," says Mr..
Creveling In a report to the Nashville
Chamber Of Commerce, with a SUBJ
stantial thickness Of waterbound mac
adam, being rather sparing in the use
Of fine aggregates and rolling the
coarse stone before adding the fines.
After permitting travel to use the
road until well compacted and the ex-
cess fines whipped off, we apply one
half gallon Of heavy Mexican asphaltic
road oil, which is Immediately covered
with a special crushed river gravel
about 400 yards per mile of 2o-foot
width.
1--WE utilize every bit of value in our
old roads and we build from start to
finish without detouring travel. The
cost is lower, we can make more prog
ress and 1t stands up well under our
travel, which on certain roads aver
ages 1000 vehicles per day. Roads
built during 1916-1917 and on to date
are still in fair condition without re-
oiling. Immediately a road is complet-
ed it Is placed In charge of a patrol
man who gives 1t regular attention.
One man with mule and wagon takes
care of about twenty miles of oiled
road. This work costs about $50 per
mile per year for labor and material
used.
"As the surface-tre road gets
rough or wavy we find that it can be
scarified, reshaped and reoiled at a
nominal cost and by using one-fourth
gallon instead of one-half gallon as
originally 1t is really better than when
first treated. We have reoiled less
than 10 per cent thus far We esti-
mate on our main roads, which aver
age from 800 to 1000 vehicles per day
near the city down to 200 near adjoin-
ing counties, that 1t costs less than
one-half a cent per vehicle mile to
build and maintain this type of road"

LOUD cREAK GIVES WARNING
Engaged 1t May Be Due to
a Loose Wheel.

If a creak is noticed in rear wheel
when the clutch is engaged it may be
due to loose wheel. provided that the
rear axle is of the semi-fioating or
three-fourths floating type, in which
the wheel is not rigidly attached to
the axle. In this type the wheels fit
on the end of tapered shaft and is
locked tight by a large cottered nut.
If the nut is not drawn up fully and
the wheel Is trifie loose the axle
will turn slightly when power is APP
piled and give rise to an annoying
creak. Though the wheel may seem
tight upon inspection. an attempt to
further tighten the nut may prove the
contrary.--Automobil Digest.

Heavy Motor Truck Cause
of Big Damage to Roads

Repair bills for damaged roads
would be much reduced. the engineers
bin the bureau of public roads report,
after extensive experimental work, If
motor trucks were designed to carry
more of the loads put on them over
the front axle and less over the rear
wheels, as at present. In the average
heavy truck Of today the body is near
ly balanced on the rear axle. When
the truck strikes an obstacle or an
irregularity In the highway. the dam
age done to the road surface by the
rear wheels is much greater than it
would be if the load were distributed
on both axles.
Given a perfectly smooth road sur
face, Travelled by a truck with perfect
ly smooth circular tires, there would
be no impact, regardless of the speed
or weight of load. Since such an ideal
condition is practically impossible, road
engineers recognize that all factors
which increase or reduce the impact
of load are of the utmost Importance
in planning highway construction and
regulation.
The placing of the larger part of the
load on the rear axles is one of sew
eral factors which lead to high impact
forces. In general, the increased
speed of the truck will increase the
impact. hence the necessity for keep
ing the operating speed within rea-
sonable limits. Roads kept as smooth
as possible by careful maintenance will
reduce the possibility of trucks ex-
erting impact and pressure forces upon
the highway surface. Cushion or
pneumatic tires also reduce impact and
cause less damage to the highways
than those of hard rubber, especially
If the latter are not kept in good re-
pair.

PLAN TO ADJUST GENERATOR
Good Way to Increase Flow of Cur

A good way to adjust. generator
to Increase the flow of the current to
the battery is to tighten the adjust

Boundary Commission Reports
Rivers Full as Far as Juarez;
Flood Water Used for Irrigating

All rivers on the Mexican side of
the Rio Grande as far as Juarez are
full, and a considerable amount of
flood water is looked for from this
source, according to information re-
ceived by a representative of the
Mexican boundary commission at
Matamoros this morning. This Of
ficial telegraphed the boundary
commission at Juarez this morning
that last night 10000 cubic feet of
water per second was racing past
Laredo, while at Matamoros, and
Brownsville. the amount passing per
second last night was 27,000 cubic
feet.
Considerable uneasiness was felt
at Laredo last night and It'll is felt
regarding the situation.
At this point the situation up to
noon indicated that one foot more of
water in the river would throw the
water over the banks and flood some
of the lowlands above and below the
city. Brownsville itself has never
