In five years Oregon has spent $751;

other state in the Union probably
comes anywhere near such a per capita

REMEDY SLIPPING FAN BELT
Ingenious Motorist overcomes Trouble
by Applying Little Compound to
the Surface.

One ingenious motorist who was
troubled with a slipping belt cured the
trouble by applying a little belt COM
pound to the pulley surfaces. Belt
compound. by the way, is a somewhat
sticky substance that is used in ma
chine shops, power plants and facto-
ries to insure the gripping of the
pulley by the belt with sufficient force
to transmit the power without SLIP
ping. Just a trifing amount of COM
pound is enough for a fan belt. Often
it may be obtained from a garage ma
chine shop, but if not there it will be
found almost anywhere that belts are
used. Such a small amount is required
that it is not worth while to buy a can
of it.-Scientiic American.

ROAD
BUILDING
ROAD CLASSIFICATION URGED
Necessary in Order to- Carry on, Sue
e~essfuIiy Highway Program in
This Country.

That a public road-building policy re-
quiring road classification according to
function as well as responsibility for
construction and maintenance is neces-
sary in order TO carry on successfully
a good roads program in this country,
Is the gist of a treatise issued recently
by the Nebraska department of public
works, on How to Get Good Roads,"
The classification policy, the Nebraska
officials point out. has been found upon
adoption abroad to be a highly sue
cessful n for highway Improvement.
THAT which has secured roads over
seas" says the bulletin, should secur
them here. First There is the country
road. Its primary function Is to serve
county needs. While its function Is
yital-linking farm and market-its
use is nearly local. The county,
therefore, should assume responsibility
for 1t. 1t should be built and cared for
by the county funds. Exception should
be made of certain roads In the
ties whose function places them in an
other class-that of state or federal
roads. Second: There is the state
highway, the aggregate of which on
stitutes the state highway system.
These are the roads which, while sery-
ing local needs in the counties, have
for their primary function highway
service to the state as a whole. The
system is usually planned to connect
the county seats, and all these and the
various sections Of the state and the
state capital. The state, therefore,
should assume responsibility for these
roads. They should be built and cared
for through state taxation. Exception
should be made of certain roads in the
state whose function places them in a
third class, that Of national roads.
Third: There is the national highway,
the aggregate of which will constitute
the system of national highways.
These are roads which. while serving
county needs, state needs and inter
state needs, have for their primary
function highway service to the ii
try as a whole"

RUT-PROOF TIRE IS
NOT ON ANY MARKET
Not Wise Plan for Automobile
Driver to Follow Straight and
Narrow Path With Car.

The old axiom about the advisable
ity of following the straight and mar
row path holds as good today as ever,
but the autoist who interprets It as
meaning that he should drive in ruts
and a tracks will find it pretty ex-
pensive advice. A rut can be elassed
with flies, mosquitoes and other pests.
1t was made for no reason at all.
Some men pick out ruts to drive in
because it saves a certain amount Of
steering, but the law of compensation
is an inexorable one, as the rut iend
soon discovers when he finds his tires
chewed to bits. It would be quite
impossible TO build a tire. that could
with any degree of truth be termed
a rut-proof casing, because of the fact
that the side wall cannot be made
as heavy and infiexible as the tread.
No great amount of reinforcing ma
terial can be built upon the side wall
of a tire. In rut running both the
side walls become the tread as much
Is does that portion of the casing
which was intended to come in on
tact with the road. In fact. In rut
running the side walls, under such cir
cumstances, are subjected to even
more abuse than the tread, for the
easOn that the tread rolls over the
surface Of the ground, while the side
walls are scruffed and subjected to a
side-swiping motion that very soon
wears away a rubber tire. OF course,
it is quite true that there are times
when bad roads cannot be avoided or
when conditions make it absolutely
necessary to drop into a ruth. w.

PROPER SERVICE FROM DRAG
Work Should Be Done After a Rain
While Earth is Still Soft bur
Not Sticky.

To secure results from the use of
the road drag, it must be operated
over the ordinary dirt highway at
such a time as the earth is in proper
condition TO give best returns for the
labor and effort expended. 1t is not
unusual to see men dragging a road
when the latter is so dry as to make
the effort one of scraping rather than
dragging. Highways should be
dragged while the earth is still soft
after a rain, vet not soft enough to
stick to the drag. The surface which
results upon drying is n which sheds
water readily on the next rain If a
proper slope to the road is left. An
experienced worker will accomplish
this by always pushing a little earth
toward the center of the highway as
he operates the drag.

BE PREPARED FOR REPAIRING
One of Chief Factors in Doing Good
Work of Any kind-Equipment

One of the principal factors in doing
good work of any sort lies in being

DRIVERS INJURE
RAILROAD Gates
Motorists Begin to Realize There
Is More Room Behind a
Train Than in Front.

The great volume of propaganda
directed at the evils of careIessness
when a Railroad Crossing-Stop,
Look, Listen" sign looms up has
brought most motorists to a realization
that there is more room behind a train
than before it. 1t is with something
of a shock then that one reads a re-
port of the Chicago safety council
showing that 81 per cent of the motor
lists who approach railway crossings
carelessly are so blindly impatient and
fooThardy that they damage the ross
ing protection equipment provided in
an effort to make the dangerous spots
foolproof.
Drivers in Haste.
Railroad crossing watchmen of 16
roads in and about Chicago last year
reported 367 cases of careless driving
at their crossings to the safety council.
OF these reports 107, or 81 per cent,
indicate that the drivers were in such
haste to get over the tracks-to beat
the train to it," that they damaged the
equipment provided to keep the cross
ings safe. Disregarding warning bells
and the whistles Of the watchmen,
many of them kept going eve after
the crossing gates had started to de-
scend. 1t is this type of driver that
hair and have a moment of terrible
doubt as to whether trying to save life
is worth while.
Fifty Per Cent in Some Cases.
In some cases the number of in
stances in which the gates were dam
aged amounts to more than 80 per
cent. The Chicago and Western
Indiana reported 80 cases, of which II
resulted in damaged equipment, indi-
eating that a driver tried to beat the
gates. OF 60 cases reported by the
Illinois Central, 80 showed damaged
gates. Eight out of the II reported
by the North Shore Electric line were
damaged gates"
The work of the safety council has
done much to spread the careful
crossing idea effectively. Railroad
gatemen have been instructed by their
officials to note the license number of
any car driven carelessly at their
crossings. These reports go to the
safety council, which sends a letter to
the car owner calling attention to his
carelessness and asking for co-opera-
ton in reducing the number of rail-
way crossing accidents and in'promot-
ing motor safety in general. The care
less crossing evil is thus attacked at
its source.

RAIN TREE SUPPLIES WATER
Beautiful and Common Tree In Tropi.
cal America Holds Liquid
In Leaves.

The name "rain tree" has been given
to a beautiful and very common tree
of tropical America. The name Is prob
ably due to the fact that the tree has
the habit of closing its leaflets before
and during rains, and not to any ten
dency to shed water from the leaves
The original rain tree story, as found
in the narratives Of early voyagers
back as far as the Fifteenth century,
located the tree in the island of Ferro
one Of the Canaries. This island has
no springs and scanty rainfall, but.
according to the story, derived an am
pie supply Of fresh water from a, sim
gle tree.
The natives say that the famous
rain tree that once supplied the whole
island was blown down in a Storm

turn had been. And they saw, too,
what real good that little scattered
money was doing this Christmas.

Reindeer2 TWO u L VI
Santas reindeer,
they felt a great responsibility on

"NOpe Of the Others" remarked
Comet anxiously, "know the shortcuts

through the Milky Way. Do you re-
member that little boy in Poland who
cried because he didn't see US? We
must make a great racket tonight SO
he will wake up. And there was a
child in Canada who set out some hay
for US; dear little thing"
The staNle door dew open, letting
in a great gust Of icy wind.
"Ah, my 6ne fellows!' exclaimed
big, jolly voice, "the packs are ready,
and we must be off. Comet, expect
you to keep a sharp eye out for acci-
dents. Cupid, Don't forget the corners,
and the care with which we must land
on the roofsw
In no time at all the reindeer were
harnessed, the packs tumbled in, and
off they flew, Santa holding the reins
in both hands.
Comet and Cupid outdid themselves.
They went like the wind. The little
boy In Poland heard their impatient
feet on the roof and caught one tiny
glimpse Of the sleigh. The child in
Canada found the hay she had left for
the reindeer all gone in the morning.
No present was lost, no house forgot
ten.
Back in their stalls once more Comet
and Cupid gave long signs Of satisfae
ton. "Of course Santa Is the one
people think about most, but after all.
where would he be without us?"
