EXPERTS ARE SENT
TO DISASTER Scene
Comdr. Comerford and Three
Civilians Dispatched to
Report on Blast.

Explosive experts have been dis
PATCHED to Lake Denmark, and as soon
as the situation clears, will make an
effort to determine the cause of the

coed to Lake Denmark last night, has
decided to wait several days. He

department, is in the hands of Sec
rotary Wilbur. who is now on the

Leonard P. Ayres, whose reputation
as a statistician is international and
who is vice president of Cleveland
trust company, recently became
member of the National Finance com
mittee of the American Legion. Mr..
Ayres was appointed by National
Commander John r. McQuigg to the
position which he himself held on the
finance committee prior to his cleo
ton to the communicating.
Mr.. Ayres organized the statistical
divisions of the War department, which
have become models for other govern
ments. Mr.. Ayres held the rank of
colonel during the war and was the
only civilian soldier ever to head a
division of the general STAFF abroad.
The statistical division of Pershing's
headquarters at Chaumont, the statis-

and the statistical division in the War
department at Washington were all
organized by the new member Of the

Surfaced Highways Now
Near 5OO,OO0-Mile Mark

Surfaced roads in the United
States now approach the 5O0,000-mile
mark. Some weeks ago the state re-
ports indicated there were 12S,347
miles of surfaced road on the state
systems at the end of 1924, and that
the mileage of surfaced country roads
was 339, 55S total of 467, 905. Since
81 ,541 miles of road was surfaced in
1924 by states and counties, and it is
known that progress has been equally
as good in 1925, it is probable that
construction of the past season will
increase the surfaced mileage to more
than 495, 000 In addition to surfaced,
a considerable mileage has been grad
ed and drained according to engineer
ing standards. There were 236,294
miles of such road at the end of 1924,
and of this 1859 miles had been con-
structed that year. These figures in
dictate that the improved road mileage

Gear Slipping Due to
Faulty Shifter Forks

When the gears acquire the habit
Of slipping back into neutral from
high or second, the trouble Is due to
the shifter forks. If they are worn
the gears will not always be fully
engaged, and where there is consider
able Strain or vibration Gas in climb
ing steep hill in second), it will be
necessary to hold the shift lever in the
desired position. Misalignment Of the
forks will often cause the gears to
slip back to neutral, from any position,
particularly annoying in the case Of
slippage from high to neutral when
descending grades. II the trouble is
confined to the latter, and is slight, 1t
can often be overcome by avoiding
sudden application of power or brakes,
and by gentle handling Of the clutch.
