Moving Slowly Toward Pole.
Capt. Macmillan, Lieut. Byrd and
+bcir men today are slowly making
tber way through drifting ice fields
and the rigors of the north to the pole.
BIT bv bit their story, as the advent
IRE progresses, is being sent back to
civilization by wireless.
Scientists disagree over the prob
ability of an unknown land in the Arc
tic regions. A number of attempts
have been made to locate such a con-
tinent. but nothing has been definitely
established.
Capt. Macmillan and Lieut. Byrd
will seek to learn the truth. Theirs
will be the most extensive and at the
same time the most complete Arctic
exploration OF modern days. By using
ajrplanes they will be able to go far
beyond the goals of former explorers,
and the discoveries they make may
add considerably to the worlds knowl-
edge of itself.
Although the Macmillan expedition
left civilization a number of weeks ago
and now is in the northland. the planes
carried by the explorers will not take
off for their flights over the polar sea
in search of an unknown land until
the middle of August The expedition
expects to complete its work early in
September, however. These facts are
made known in report to the navy
department by Lieut.. Byrd.
Planes to Fly in Pairs.
The explorers will operate the planes
In pairs, the third of the planes re-
naming at the base for emergency
service. If one of the planes should be
forced down the other will carry the
crew back to safety If both planes
which are in service are crippled, then
the third machine will be used.
The matter of base has not been
definitely decided, although the ex-
pIorers will work from one of three
points. either Cape Columbia, Grand
Land or Cape Thomas Hubbard. The
planes will be assembled at Etah,
Greenland, however, All the time radio
will be used to keep the explorers IN
touch with the rest of the world.
Plenty of Equipment.
The explorers have plenty of equip
ment and will have a two-month sup
DIV of food on hand when the actual
work of exploration begins. In add1-
ton. there will be tools for making
minor repairs on the airplanes and
even spare parts for the machine. The
whole party men and supplies, is be
ing carried into the polar regions

The American Indian, when he went
over new or unfamiliar trail, retraced
his steps by following bent or broken
twigs left on his previous trip. This

country. Following the Indian came

sign posts, and later, enduring mile

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is splain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says: take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bidder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Increased Motor Speed
Now Blamed on Oxygen

Motor cars of all kinds have long
been known to gather speed in some
unaccountable manner when passing
over smooth paved roads. The cause
has long been unexplained, but 1t is
now held, both by automotive engi-
neers and road engineers, to be due
to the abnormal profusion of vegeta-
ton usually to be found along these
mystery roads. Trees and plants
exude oxygen. Motors run more
smoothly when there is plenty of oxy-
gen in the air, as motorists are well
aware The Increased amount Of oxy-
gen diffused In the localities where
the vegetation is profuse, coupled with
the smoothness Of the road surfaces
and the consequent decrease In tractive
resistance. constitutes the cause of the
picking up" Of the motor and the In
creased speed. Scientists recently con-
Quoted experiments In several Iocali-
ties, and along roads bordered by heavy
negotiations, and these experiments
demonstrated to their complete salts
faction that the behavior of the car
was due to the increased amount OF
oxygen in the air.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-06-18
Modern Traffic Demands
Permanent Construction

Road builders and highway officials
are coming to understand more fully
the many and varied requirements de-
manded by modern traffic. The good
road must be able to withstand heavy
motor truck traffic. 1t must be safe
and smooth for automobile traffic, its
surface must be such that steel-shod
horses will be able to gain a more
secure footing. it must be disable
every day of the year, 1t must be rea-
sonable in first cost, and it must be
easily maintained.
That hard-surfaced roads fill these
requirements Is evidenced by their
ever-increasIng popularity. The mate
rials used in making hard roads are
so firmly bound together that no
amount of pounding can loosen them.
A wearing surface as tough as the
rock which makes the coarse aggre-
gate can be secured.
The even, gritty surface, and the
very slight crown required to secure
perfect drainage offer an ideal sur
face for motor vehicles, as well as In
surfing a foothold for horses. With
hard roads, traffic need not wait on
the weather. Heat or cold rain or
sunshine have no effect upon them.
They are always ready for use.
In first cost, hard roads compare
favorably with those constructed of
other materials which are able to
carry modern traffic, and their main
tenance cost is far below that re-
quired by other types of road con,
struction.

Excess Engine Heating
Traced to Kink in Hose

On one occasion, excess heating OF
an engine finally was traced to kink
in the rubber hose leading to the radi-
ator. 1t had become heated several
times and weakened the walls, so that
In making a rather sharp curve it col
lapsed, partially shutting off the flow.
This was remedied permanently by
removing the hose and inserting coil
spring made Of rather stiff wire,
wrapped about broom handle. When
freed this spring was slightly larger
than the inside diameter of the hose
but was inserted by turning the spring
In the direction that the wire was
wrapped when 1t was made, in the
meantime being forced in. This
Strengthened the kink, and it has not
bothered since.
This method Of reinforcing and
strengthening various sizes and kinds
of rubber hose and tubing also works
well In all sorts OF instances. In max
ing sharp turns and bends. tubing for
gas lights tends to collapse, and this
can be remedled effectively by this
method.

BETTER ROADS WILL
INCREASE PROFITS

There was a time when the stock
objection to public improvements was
that it would increase taxes. Such an
argument cannot be applied to the
building of hard-surfaced road
through a farming community for the
simple reason that 1t is an investment
which will yield returns more than
large enough to Offset the original
cost The very livelihood of the farm
er and his family depends upon the
road to market. If the road is bad
the farmer suffers financially through
the distance from his market. If he
lives ON hard road the opportunity
Is there for him to make the most Of
It. The farm on an unpaved road does
not yield the net profit which could
be had If the road were paved.
Good roads increase farm profits In
many ways. Heavy rains do not close
the road to market, thus crops may
be marketed when prices are right;
the level surface permits hauling pro-
duce to market without bruising or
damaging, thus permitting highest
grading; less time Is consumed in
making the market trip; larger loads
may be hauled; the wear, tear and
maintenance of vehicles and horses
or truck is greatly reduced; and If
an auto truck is used the mileage per
gallon of gasoline is much greater
than on an nnpaved road.
Tests of considerable interest to
farmers have been made recently to
determine the superiority of hard-sur-
faced roads over gravel and dirt roads
in different terms. The average re-
suits of the investigation showed that
automobile trucks hauled 81 ton-miles
per gallon of gasoline on hard-sur-
faced roads, 81 ton-miles on gravel
roads, and only IA ton-miles on dirt
roads. These figures show that it is
twice as costly to haul over dirt
roads as it Is over hard roads.
In addition, hard roads are perma-
nent and upkeep expense is very low.
Records of maintenance costs in New
York state show that $40 miles of
hard road cost an average Of $50 per
mile to maintain. while 149 miles OF
gravel road cost an average of 1922
per mile per year to maintain. On a
hundred-mile stretch of hard road,
this would mean $54.200 less mainte-
nance per year than on a similar
stretch of gravel road.
Getting back to the marketing of
farm produce, the paved road not only
lowers the cost of bringing produce to
market, but it brings the market to the
farm. With the coming Of the paved
road and all it's accruing advantages.
farms along these roads greatly In
crease in value. Buyers of farms to-
day buy not only the farm land and
conveniences of the farm buildings,
but the accessibility to market, paved
roads often being the price-deciding
factor of the sale.
