Eddie Plank was one of the great
pitchers of baseball, ranking right
along with Walsh and Johnson.
He had everything that q pitcher

had several different ways Of deliv-

A train running 40 miles an hour

quarter of mile. An automobile
running 25 miles an hour can be
stopped in about So feet.
These figures are given by the Ma

'Detour--Road Under Repair" Is
a highway sign that is going to be
removed forever from the States

to carry out a program they have
set for themselves to eliminate this
great nuisance. The removal of
the sign at points where bridges

templated.
DetOurs are to be established
only in places where new roads are
being built and in those cases they
will be made as short as possible
and will be improved temporarily.
On roads under repair. one-half
of the highway is to be left open
for one line of traffic.

TOPS Now Easier

Although one-man tops-rather

standard equipment on practically
all open cars. the number Of mo-
florists driving with them down Is
constantly declining. In fact. so
few motorists take advantage of
the collapsible affairs that several
makers are using permanent tops

The question is one for the

SPEED ENGINE OFTEN.
Declutching in Slow Traffic Aids
in Preventing Sailing.

1t is we'll to declutch and accele-
rate the engine occasionally when
compelled to move slowly through
traffic in intermediate gear. The slow
operation of the motor is likely to
load up the engine with oil or raw
gas and encourage it to stall. The
needle valve of the carburetor may
stick. or the CONSTANT slow running
may help to discharge the battery.
Speeding up the engine now and then
makes conditions more normal.
