An axiom of modern motoring
Is that no trofhc can be any
denser than the drivers of its
various units,
So this is Perfection!


Motordom hears much about per-
lection OF the automobile but engines
on both low and high priced cars still
sputter and cough when starting up
on cold days, and motordom wonders
whether the engineers aren't patting
themselves on the back just little
too generously.
Perfection, as offered the motorist at
present, may or may not be condl-
ton Immediately preceding burst of
new discoveries, but it is generally
regarded as being somewhat dlsap-
pointing, 1t is Paris with the lights
out and London with an embargo on
tea.
in spite of perfection. cold morn
ing still knocks the best of engines
Many of them are equipped with de-
vices to pre-heat the gas vapor or
warm up the intake manifold, yet the
familiar popping back and suffering
prevails as of old.
4 lot of high priced cars still buck
and Jerk at speeds between 10 and 10
miles an hour and mechanics stlll
diagnose the trouble as gas condl-
ton caused by poor carburetor con-
struction.
Piston pins are adjustable on only
one make Of car and in no case are
they adequately fabricated.
The radiator still has to come on
when any work is to be done on the
timing gears. Engines still get over
heated when the smallest thing goes

those who were agriculturists stayed

CHICAGO MUST CUT
/. LAKE WATER USED
Weeks Fixes Schedule Con-
tingent on Expediture for
Sewage Disposal.

Conditioned on satisfactory prog
ress in the construction of modern
sewage disposal projects, Secretary
Weeks has issued a permit to the chi
cago sanitary district for the with
drawaI of $500 cubic feet per second
from Lake Michigan up to December
81, 1929. The conditions further con-
template reduction of the water with
draWal on a progressive scale 10 4,lo4
cubic feet per second or less by 1888.
The Secretary's decision, published
today, was reached after recent hear
ings at the War Department, in which
arguments were presented by both
sides in the long-pending dispute be-
tween the district and States other
than Illinois bordering the Great
Lakes over lowering water levels
The district had applied for lO,O0O
second feet.
To effect the reduction contem-
plated by 1885, the conditions of the
permit involve an estimated expendi-
ture by the district for sewage treat
ment works of S54,192.000, to cover
which it will require additional bond
ing power.
City Must Pay Share.
Among other conditions stipulated
on recommendation of Maj. Rufus w.
Iutndln, L OnlIeO states us u lSl
neer at Chicago. and approved by MAJ.
Gen. Harry Taylor. chief of Army En-
gineers, the city is to agree to pay
its share in any future general
project TO restore lake levels, and
post A good-faith bond of $1,000, 900.
The Government is particular, how
ever, not to commit itself to even the
general proposition of such a project.
Other conditions stressed in the
permit and relating correspondence
are that the district shall complete
during the life of the permit plants
for artificial disposal of sewage for
n population of 100000, as well as
control works to prevent discharge of
the Chicago River into Lake Michi-
gan in times of heavy storm, and
adopt a project of metering at least
90 per cent of its water service, to be
put into effect at a rate of 10 per
cent a year.
The permit is revokable at the will
of the Secretary of War as well as
subject to any future action by Con-
gresS.
