Post the Grade Ratings.

One of the improvements in high
way routing and road mapping in the
near future may be the posting of
ratings for grades and hills. Five
per cent grade ahead" the highway
department signs would read. Or per
haps the road map, or tour book,
would indicate the grade with suit
able numeral. Many drivers either
strain their motors or waste lot of
gas on needless acceleration simply
because they are incapable of judging
the actual grade of a hill by the ap-
pearance of the road The facts in
such cases would greatly simplify
matters.

the pinhole in the gasoline tank cap

is blocked off, the vacuum system is
stopped and the car will go no farther

What's the Answer?

with gas while 1t is running normally?
2. What are the nine factors that

8. What prevents sediment in the

In low gear, make sure that the
ignition is off, and crank the engine

Back to Oil Again.

After everybody discarded their oil
cups for chassis fabrication and adopt
ed high pressure greasing systems it
began to look as If the matter of
chassis fabrication was settled once
and for all. But now comes the central
fabrication system on two standard
makes. and oil is the lubricant. Many
owners swear by oil, but only yielded
to grease because oil fabrication must
be fairly continuous. The automatic
system solves this.

Watch Starter Cable.

The starter cable, making the con.

automobile. Because of it's heavy in
sulation the idea seems to be that it
makes very little difference what
course it takes. Hence it often rubs
against a floor board until the wiring
is exposed, causing a short circuit
that puts everything out of business.

Owsley said he would stand pat on
the lineup that started the Mar

satisfied that he has found the com.
bination that win give Princeton the
hardest battle.
On the other hand, Roper was not

he has done so much switching,

LABOR MAPS DRIVE
TO INCREASE ROLLS
Campaign to Last 40 Weeks
in United States and Can
ada, Leaders Decide.

Strong evidence of the power which
lhe new American Federation of Labor
administration under President Will
llam Green has amassed in its scant
half year of existence became evident
today in a national program mapped
out and set in motion by the eXecu
i've council at its quarterly session
here.
Organized labor. admittedly shaken
by the death of Samuel Gompers.
early in the Winter, has through its
board of directors mapped out a
project for organization on the broad
est scale ever undertaken, with scien-
life and systematic divisions OF this
country and Canada apportioned and
allotted for the scene of a fight against
non-unionism.
Capital Center of Drive.
BY the plan Washington will be
made the base of supplies and center
of operations. The headquarters
forces of the five divisions apportioned
will act on orders from the American
Federation of Labor headquarters
here. The divisional headquarters in
turn will act as direct contact for the
field of operations.
Already more than $125,00 has
been pledged voluntarily for the pre-
jimlnary cost of the campaign. What
the total expenditure will amount TO
IS problematical. but it is estimated
that organized labor. with healthy
treasury backing. will spare little ex
pense to canvass fully the country
7or recruits to the ranks of union
labor. The duration of the campaign
viii be 40 weeks.
Education will keep stride with or
sanitation in the plan mapped out.
The methods of the organizers will be
public meetings, the movies and the
radio.
Plan Broached in Winter.
This broad plan was broached at
the Miami meeting Of the executive
council last February. At that time,
and up to this time, 1t was pure
theory. The practical end was a Wis
uali2ed project. During the present
session of the executive council the
theoretical and practical ends began
to dovetail.
Hand in hand with the campaign
for organizing the non-union workers
VIII progress another drive-one to
boost the standing of the union label
among union men. This will also be
an educational campaign, but its field
of endeavOr already has been we'll cul-
uyated by similar campaigns OF the
past.
The Gompers memorial project re-
cclVed much impetus at the present
meeting of the executive council
Numerous suggestions for the me-
mortal to the late labor chieftain were
received. including statues Of various
designs, tablets. fountains and scholar
ship funds. Definite arrangements for
this project are awaiting approval.
The council selected Ebert J. Evans
and Adam DemaSki of Chicago to rep
resent the federation at the annual
convention of the British Trades
Council in England September 10.
