CECRETARY HUGHES is trying to
y guide the house toward the adop-
ton of an immigration bill that will
not be likely to involve the State de-
partment and its agents abroad in
troubles. He already had told why
the proposed Johnson measure is OBJ
jectionable to Japan and last week he
called the attention of the immigra-
ton committee to the protests of
Italy and Rumania against the plan
to make the 1890 census figures the
basis for quota restrictions. Chairman
johnson read the Rumanian protest on
the floor of the house. 1t said adop-
ton of the 1890 census as a restrictive
basis would deeply wound the pride
of the Rumanian people" and strong
ly affect their material interests"
"These impudent protests received
from foreign governments desiring to
recuperate at the expense of the

r EADERS of the dock workers of
IL Great Britain thought they had
reached an agreemeAt with the en-
ployers that would end the strike that
has been cutting down the English
food supply and increasing the prices.
The employers offered to raise the
wage one shilling now and another on
June 1, and to leave to a commission
the question of providing full weeks
work for the men. The more radical
elements among the workers were dis
satisfied with this compromise, be-
lieving all the demands could be won
if the strikers would hold out. Prime
Minister Macdonald was prepared to
put in motion a plan for feeding the
nation, and his government was try
ing hard to stop the pro1teers from
raising the prices of foodstuffs.

Logic of Trouble Seeking

The diagnosis of q trouble is a
matter which should be undertaken
without furry, and much time can
be saved by thinking out the cause
before actually tackling the job. AS
an instance of this. n certain engine
fitted with two Carburetors would
only run on two cylinders at high
speed. investigation revealed the
fact that though there was the nor
NAL suction at the air intake of one
carburetor there was none whatever
at the other A few moments quiet
thought diagnosed the trouble in the
following manner. If there is no
suction, either the piston of one
cylinder is defective. or the engine
is taking in air from some part other
than the inlet pipe. Considering this
in detail, it was obvious that the
piStons were intact since there was
compression in all four cylinders
when the handle was turned. OBJ
viously.' air was being sucked from
some other part.
Considering this, it was possible
for q leak to occur only through the
cylinder head gasket, the spark plug
hole, or the exhaust valve seat. The
spark plug was certainly tight, the
gasllet trouble was unlikely, and ev-
erything pointed to the exhaust
valve. 1t was quite evident that the
inlet valve could not be the cause OF
the trouble. as, even IL this valve
were completely off its seat. there
would still be suction in the carbu-
rotor. and it was obvious. also, that
nothing the carburetor might do
would make any difference to the
suction.
Acting on these lines the cylinder
head was removed, and though both
the exhaust valves of the two cylin-
ders affected outwardly appeared to
be intact, they were removed. and
the valve faces We're found to lie
extremely bad. New exhaust valves
cured the trouble.
1t should be noted in this instance
that a comparatively small leak in
the seat was sufficient. This leak
did not allow the compression to
escape to any great>extent, but when
the engine was running there was
suction on the combustion space
side of the valve. and also pressure
on the underside of the valve. the
combination making the leak ex-
tremely egective.--Automob Di-

IS THE M0T0RIST GETTING FULL VALUE
FROM STATE HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION?
Increase Traffic Under Observation Maine Comparative
Gravel and Bumnous Roads, Hard Surface Roads
Expensive Per Mile for Maintenance ,-~7


rProbably most Maine people have
given little thought to the question
OF cost Of road maintenance as at
fected by the volume OF traffic using
given highway. The State High
way Commission. however, have
given a good deal of thought to this
very question. The matter has been
brought to the attention Of the Com
mission very forcefuilys on account
OF the fact that for the last seven
or eight years the Highway Com
mission have taken q census of the
traffic at various points on and off
OF the State highway system. either
during the last week in August or
the first week in September. The
Commission have also kept accurate
records of the cost of the mainte-
nance OF particular sections of State
highways since 1916, the year that
patrol maintenance was established.
and there appears to be a very
marked relationship between VOL
ume Of traffic and cost of road
maintenance. particularly on gravel
surfaced highways.
1t may be of interest to the mo-
florists OF Maine~to learn just what
the traffic surveys have disclosed.
These surveys are taken for seven
consecutive days, from seven A. M.
to seven p. NJ, and the traffic is
divided into that travelling north or
south or east or west, according to
the general direction OF the road
under observation. The traffic is
sub divided into heavy trucks, light
trucks, and automobiles and horse
drawn traffic. From year to year
the number of stations at which
counts have been made have been
increased and the newer stations
each year are not selected at points
where the traffic Is heaviest but at
points upon highway routes which
the Commission suspect may some
day be included within the system
OF State highways. It is well to
bear this thought in mind when
studying the table of average traffic
per day given below. If the newer
stations each year were those at
which there Is traffic congestion, it
would account for the increased av-
erage amount of traffic per day. The
opposite condition is true, however,
that the new stations are selected
where just an ordinary traffic will
be found. What the increase in

Dodge Brothers
Establish New
Production Mark

One million cars built and sold in
the first nine years and eleven days
of production.
This is The latest achievement of
Dodge Brothers, Detroit, who thereby
add another TO their long list of not
able contributions to the automobile
industry.
1t is a worlds record.
No other manufacturer. according
to official figures shown by Dodge
Brothers executives in support of
their contentious, has achieved the
one million mark so soon after the
completion of his first car.
Dodge Brothers began production
on December 4. 1914. Car No. 1.000.-
900 rolled off the final assembly line
December 13, 1879 years and II
days later.
Strong public demand has given a
constant impetus to Dodge Brothers
production from the very start. At
the outset they were oversold-and
have been ever since. despite enlarge
ments which have converted factory

1.-THE initial investment was in If
teen cars-two Dodge touring cars,
and thirteen Fords, including tour
ing, sedan and coupe models. We
designated six of these cars for use
on the concrete paved highways:
and the other nine were to be used
for trips over dirt roads. OF course,
a car hired for paved road trips is
occasionally driven over unpaved
highways: and the cars used prin-
cipally for dirt road service are
driven over paved city streets and
concrete roads as part of the trip.
All of the cars now have been
driven 1000 miles or more during
the year. They were all new when
put into service. Our cost data show
a very substantial saving in the per
mile cost of operation on paved
roads as against dirt roads. Includ-
ing gasoline. oil. tires. repairs. de-
probation. interest on the invest
ment, cleaning and housing, the
costs per mile are:
Car Concrete Dirt Road
Ford Touring 6.9c 93c
Ford Coupe Z. "a
Ford Sedan 10 9.5
Dodge Touring 81 11.5
at will be seen from this table
that there is practically uniform
Saving of "a cents per mile on the
total cost Of operation over concrete
roads as against dirt roads. In terms
of percentage. this saving runs from
about 21 to % per cent. depending
on the type of car. For 10000 miles,
the saving totals $2SS which is i'm
no Rfn v1f RI nx1I
cially SO to the owner of a small
car"
With a saving of two and one halt
cents mile in the cost of operating
cars, this means $125 a year for the
man who drives 5000 miles a year
and $3.50 a year for the man who
drives 10000 miles.
It would appear, then, that the
motorist. who is furnishing the
money for the construction of State
highways. has & very direct personal
interest in the type of roads which
are furnished to him upon which to
operate his motor vehicle. Hard
surfaced roads will come in Maine
just as soon as public sentiment de-
mands them and will support them,
and no sooner.
1t appears to the writer. from the
above statements, that every motor
list in Maine would be within his
right in demanding hard surfaced
roads. and at the same time he
would be doing real service for the
State of Maine in helping to check
the ever increasing maintenance ex-
pense which follows the construc-
ton OF every mile of gravel sur
faced highway where the traffic CEN
sus shows that daily traffic is now
or is approaching the 500 per day
mark
