the danger. The motorist is already
greatly overtaXed, and the gasoline
tax leads him to believe that he is
being relieved
Gas Tax May Go Higher.
The gas tax in most States will
probably go to 5 cents a gallon or
more unless it is vigorously checked.
A number of the affiliated A. A. A.
clubs are preparing for this fight by
resisting the tax altogether.
Commercial and passenger highway
traffic and travel is "a problem that
will have to be met. The roads are
not adapted to both types. One of the
most difficult problems in motoring is
to break down the old order of things.
Passenger cars and trucks have always
occupied the same highways. This fact
will be the most annoying obstacle in
the work of segregating the two.
The motorist must be educated to
demand better automobiles. The mat
ter of price is becoming uppermost in
the minds of the majority of people, and
it Is d foregone conclusion that If man
ufacturers are forced to curtail quality
in order to meet this demand motoring
will be robbed of much progress that
would otherwise be possible.
Compulsory Insurance Looms.
Compulsory automobile insurance
now looms large as a future problem.
Just at present it is in the legislative
stage, and the motor clubs fighting it
know that defeating it now is the
easiest part of the problem. Once some
State gets a foothold with the idea
there is no telling what gigantic prob
lens may arise as a result of it's op-
GRAFTON. This is based upon the knowl-
edge that State funds and compensa-
ton insurance methods under State con-
troll are already a problem in many
parts of the country.
Looking into the future, it is ap-
parent that a number of new problems
are Just on the horizon. Then, looking
back over the experience of the past
20 years. it is evident that it will re-
qulre a gigantic organization Of car
owners to solve these problems
The A. A. A. is counting on its
foresight in this important matter to
insure it against failure to solve these
problems through lack of preparedness"

Ronald Reamer, petroleum research
chemist OF Poughkeepsie, N. Y, will

in properly lubricating auto engines,

some of the gasoline condenses be-

goes down into the crank case and
dilutes the lubricating oil, thereby
making 1T less effective.

CAUSE OF SQUEAKING.
Often Due to Dirt and Grit in
Brake Lining.

Squeaking is often due to dirt and
grit imbedded in the brake lining. When
the brake lining is forced against the
drum, squeaks and chattering sounds
develop. This condition may be tenn
porarily eliminated by pouring water
on the lining; however. the best remedy
is to remove the band
A good stiff brushing with a wire
brush and kerosene will remove the
grit. IT the grit is deeply imbedded. a
mixture of powdered resin and castor
oil applied to the lining will remedy the
trouble. If the lining is worn so that
the rivet heads come in contact with
the drum, squeaking will result
The best remedy in this case is to re-
place the lining, although the condition
may be improved by sinking the heads
below the surface of the lining.

OIL AVERTS AIR LEAKS.

A little oil on the carburetor con-
trolls will do much to save wear and
avoid air leaks. This applies to the
shaft of the throttle valve. the rods
or plungers for the auxiliary air or
gas valves and to the accelerator
and hand throttle control assembly.
These parts frequently appear to be
fabricated merely because they are
covered with gasoline or kerosene
from the carbuetor, which is an in
dication that they are sadly In need
of real luhrication

INCREASE OF AUTOS
BRINGS PROBLEMS
A. A. A. Head Says Ten Mil
lion More Cars in U. S. Will
/ Make New PerpIexitieS.

Paving the way for solutions to
motoring problems that are certain to
develop in the near future has become
one of the most interesting and vital
phases of motor club activities, in the
opinion of President Thomas P. Henry
of the American Automobile AsSocia-
ton.
In a bulletin just issued from the
organizations national headquarters
in Washington, Mr.. Henry not only
answers the question What are the
coming problems in motordom?" but
also explains what the A. A. A. is
already doing to prepare for their So
luton
The bulletin lists number of new
motoring problems which are said to
be on the way, many of which will
doubtless surprise the motorist who
has been inclined to believe that the
work Of the A. A. A. and its nearly
zoo affiliated clubs would be finished
when the present problems are solved
Warns of PerpIexing Problems.
The problems on the way" Mr..
Henry warns, are even more per-
picking than those with which the
Nation is now graphing, and unless
American car owners make adequate
preparations these problems may
easily swamp us.
Ten million-even five million
more automobiles in the United States
VIII bring along new and important
problems. Just the increased annual
mileage per car would change the
whole picture. The attitude of the
automobile owner, moreover. changes
fean year to year, so that what does
not seem to be a problem today be-
comes serious one tomorrow"
MIR. Henry also gives SneciaI ~
tion to the possibilities in motor
problems
One of the most serious problems
anticipated by the A A A." he saws.
is that of safeguarding the motor
lists health in congested driving. The
problem of the poisonous exhaust is
becoming more and more serious, and
with the coming of vehicular tubes
under large waterways, as well as
the development of underpasses at
prominent street intersections, it is
going to be a serious matter to safe
guard the people who do not want
their health impaired.
Use of Automobile Growing.
"A problem of singular character
ls that being created by the growing
use of the automobile. Thousands of
people are riding more hours of the
day than they walk. Teaching the
motorist to walk safely will, there
fore, be part of an automobile clubs
activities.
Prevention of misuse of safety fea-
lures is just ahead. People are find
ing greater safety in four wheel brakes,
gripping balloon tires. flexible motors,
better body visibility, and many other
safety devices but they are not
learning the Importance of being just
as cautious as they were when these
devices and improvements were not
available.
The A. A. A frequently has pointed
out the danger in not continuing to
be cautious even after having at
tached chains to the tires, and 1t
seems the new problem is to be
something on this order, only on a
far larger scale.
THE gasoline tax is going to be-
come a serious problem before long.
1t is the easiest way yet devised for
taxing the motorist, and therein lies

To Stop Fender Rattles.

Rear tenders on a. number of light
cars are poorly ironed and usually

Tomorrow's planetary aspects hold

cate q period of gloom and depres-
sion, and every effort must be made
to counteract such untoward in
fluences. The best antidote for spells
such as these is work or recreative
amusements, combined with a fixed
ment or anxiety to ingulf you In an
abyss Of futile despair. In the even
ing there is a glimmering OF a better
atmosphere, and. while the clouds
will not all have rolled away. there
will be sensed 4 brighter outlook. and,
above all. the weakness Of yielding,
instead of fighting, will be fully dem
onstrated
Children born tomorrow will enjoy
prac actical immunity to sickness during
their infancy. but the signs denote
that they will not attain their ma
jority without experiencing serious
illness. Care and prompt attention
will obviate any deplorable results.
In character and disposition they will
be very sensitive, and unless this
tendency is curbed they are liable to
become "touchy." They will be fairly
and reasonably obedient. quick to
learn, prompt TO initiate, anu nave
very affectionate natures. They will,
unfortunately, possess eXaggerative
imaginations, and, while not guilty OF
lying in the strict acceptation Of the
term, they will be disposed to ro-
nance.
If tomorrow Is your birthday you

terious in either words or actions. You
are open and aboveboard in all
things, and no one who knows you

frankness disarm criticism. and none
ever envy any success that you may
achieve.
You are not temperamentally
equipped to handle any matter with
important or far-reaching ramif1ca
tions, and you accomplish more alone
than when in association with an
other.
Your friends are many, and you are

about those Of others. If you cannot

One of the reasons why they can be

that you can work in interesting little
color schemes and the suggestion Of

Varieties.
Planked meals are the ones at which
meat and vegetables are allowed to
make their appearance upon the same
capacious platter. Planked steak Is
the most familiar of the planked
meals, and to some few represents the
only one there Is. There are, how
ever, the many different kinds as we
choose to concoct. A very nice

Nutrition Nuggets.

The average person needs about
two grams of table salt daily When
We realize that the average individual
consumes from Is to 16 grams, it is
time to do some thinking along these
lines. There are certain bodily condi-
tions where too much salt is definitely
harmful Look To your salt allow
ance, then. and remember that two
grams ia the normal allowance and
that this represents not more than
one fifteenth of an ounce.
Mothers are apt to forget that chill
dren need more food in proportion to
their height than do their elders. This
fact explains the reason why growing
boys who are never still a minute"
eat more than their fathers who sit at
a desk.
One successful teacher of nutrition
suggests that we use patterns for
meals as we'll as for clothes. Follow
ing out this idea one pattern might
