III motorists would simply visual

Not a Wise Plan.

Asking repairers to estimate the
expense of a job is the same as ask
ing for trouble. The best OF me-
chanics cannot tell beforehand just
how long a job is going to take. even
though they may have just completed
ono on the same order.
All repair jobs are different A
rusty bolt will sometimes take a man
half hour to undo Putting on a
new fender may be a matter of an
hours work in one instance; five
hours in another. Losing a small
part may tie up job for a week.
II spare part is not available, find
ing a substitute may double the re-
pair bill
Time charges for repair jobs on a
few standard makes of cars have
been worked out for the purpose of
guiding repair shops in the matter OF
timing their mechanics. Such pub
lished charges help to prevent prof
iteering in the repair trade and also
give car owner an idea of whether
he is getting fair treatment. If the
repair charges are always in excess
of what they ought to he he is justi-
fed in taking his repair work else
where. but a variation in a single
instance is no cause for alarm.
If the mechanic takes longer than
YOU think he should, give him the
benefit of the doubt He may have
encountered difficulties peculiar to
YOUR car. He may have covered some
small but important jobs along the
way.
II is for this reason that car own
ers should not hold a repairer TO an
estimate. When repairer feels that
he can't exceed a certain figure he
either loads that figure To cover pos
Sible contingencies or hurries over
some of the details of the work along
the way.
The car owner pays in the long
run. even though he feels that he
was clever in foreStalling the pos
sIbility of any extras" The "eX-
tras" may be well worth paying for.

WHEN AND WHERE SNOW FALLS
DEEPEST OR FOR MOST DAYS

The greatest snowfall known in the
United States occurs in the Sierra
Nevada and Cascade Mountains ranges
in the Pacific Coast States, where at
some places from 80 to more than 4O
feet of snow falls during the winter
season, says the Weather Bureau or
the United States Department of Agr1-
culture. Summit, Calf, which mas
an elevation of about 1000 feet, near
ly 60 feet of snow have been recorded
in a single season, and about 20 feet
in single month.
An appreciable amount of snow US
ually falls on more than so days OF
the year in northern New YORK, the
upper peninsula of Michigan, northern
Minnesota, and northeastern North
Dakota, as we'll as in the higher eleva-
tions of the northern Rocky Mountains
Snow may he expected on as many as
80 days as far south as southeastern
Pennsylvania, central Ohio southern
Wisconsin, and southern South Dakota,
and on 10 days in southern Virginia,
Western North Carolina, the northern
portions of Tennessee and Arkansas,
central Oklahoma, and northwestern
Carolina south-central Georgia, north
ern Alabama, and south-central Texas,
however, snow may be expected only
on about one day during the winter.
Therelative protection usually afford
ed winter grains by snow cover in
different sections of the country is
shown by the number of days that the
ground remains covered with snow.
East of the Rocky Mountains the num-
Der of days, not necessarily consecu-
tive decreases with considerable re-
gularity from more than 120 in most of
central and northern New England,
the mountain districts of northern
New York northwestern Michigan and
the northern portions of Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and North Dakota, where
the first snow is seen early in October,
| to 80 days in northern New Jersey,
western Virginia, the southern por-
tions of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. and
central Missouri and Kansas, where it
does not usually fall until after Nov
ember 1. South of Augusta, Ga, Birm-
ingham, Ala, Vicksburg, Miss, and

with snow usually less than one day

SURPLUS ARMY SUPPLIES AID
STATES IN ROAD BUILDING

Approximately $190,000,000 worth Of
road building machinery, and other
supplies from the surplus was mat
erial of the Army, including 10000
motor vehicles, have been allotted by
the Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture.
This material, of which approximately
$3.50, 900, 900 worth has been delivered
says the bureau in its annual report,
has enabled many of the states to or
ganize and equip maintenance divi-
sions to patrol the entire state road
system.
The largest item of materials de-
livered consisted of shop machinery
and shop tools and equipment. This
enable the state highway departments
to equip shops for reconditioning and
repairing motor vehicles and other

ers, milling machines, cutting mach
ines, planers, drill presses, and cleo
trio motors.
Approximately 100000 pounds of
picric acid have been distributed for
road building and land-clearing pur-
poses. In addition the material dis
