Road Construction
Of 6,O7I Miles in
1924 Sets Record

The year just closed again wit
messed the breaking of all previous
concrete road construction. The
equivalent of 6,071.3 miles of IS
foot concrete was laid. This mile
age. added to the total already
paved, makes available nearly
$4,000 miles of permanent concrete
highway. Illinois laid more than
1900 miles. This exceeds it's record
of 1000 miles laid in 1928 and
brings the total mileage within this
one State to more than 1000 miles.

OIL STOPS SCREECHING.
Idling Engine May Prevent Stall
ing When Cold.

A drop Of neatsfoot oil on a brake
band will stop that screeching. But
only a drop. You can repeat the proc
ess If there are no results from the
first attempt. It's easier than wish
ing you hadn't put so much on.
Sometimes an engine is likely to
stall after starting if 1t is allowed to
idle. When you speed up the engine
the gas has less opportunity to be
warmed in the intake manifold or in
passing the hot spot" This applies
only during the first few minutes, but
1t may save a stall at that.

1t is well to know how to make
clutch slip in order to know when
one is injuring this important unit of
the car. A clutch, even properly ad-
tusted and in good condition, will slip
If, while engaging 1t, the engine is
run too fast. Under such conditions
the trouble can be detected by the
slipping sound the clutch plates will
make. The tendency to slip is great
ly increased II the car is on an up
grade, or If there is a heavy load in

GREASE SHOWS OWN NEED
.Splashing Indicates That Joints
Need Attention.

The natural thing to assume from
seeing the underside Of the fioorboards
splashed with grease is that the uni
versal Joints are overlubricated. But
beware of the consequences of such
conclusion. The grease under the
boards indicates just the reverse. The
Joints are throwing grease, and that
means they are rapidly going dry.
The only solution lies in greasing the
joints frequently.

REVERSE IN EMERGENCY.
Starter Will Pull Car to Safety
From Danger.

When the movie producers want to
stage a picture of a motor car smash
ing into a locomotive they start with
the contact of the two vehicles and
then back them away from each
other, later reversing the film. There
is more than a technique in this, for
If any driver who is caught on rail-
road tracks will shift into reverse
instead of low and step on the starter
he will be surer of having the battery
and starter pull him off to safety.
Reverse is easier for the battery.

USE OF PETCOCKS.
Opening Them Will Aid Tests of
Spark Plugs.

There is a tendency among owners
to make more use Of the petcocks
on their engines, reviving a custom
that saved lot OF trouble in the old
days. By opening the peteock Of a
cylinder being tested 1t is possible
to tell whether the spark plug is fir
ing regularly, thus avoiding much Of
the guessing that accompanies even
the best Of spark plug tests. If you
have put kerosene into the cylinders
the night before with the idea of loos-
ening up carbon deposits you will have
rediscovered further use for the pet
cocks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.--Riding
atop the successful demonstrations
staged in the national capital dur
ing the last two days the Ku Klux
Klan is launching today in various
sections of the country a drive for
membership. The movement was in
augurated when 200 new members
were initiated into the hooded ord
er i'll the shadow of fiery cross on
the Virginia bank of the Potomac
last night. The ceremony brought
to Il conclusion the two day demon
stration which was climaxed Satur-
day afternoon with spectacular
parade down Pennsylvania avenue.
The two days spectacle, which had
caused extreme precautions on the
part of the police and preparations
on the part of the national guard
and soldiers at Fort Myer, passed
without an untoward incident.
1t is considered. possible in view
of the successful demonstration that
headquarters of the khan may be
moved from Atlanta to Washington
and Il big new imperial palace con;
structed mere to house the imperial
wizard
