Motordom's ceaseless demand for

in one Of the most ambitious programs
of highway construction and mainte-
nance in the nations history. lndica-
tions point to the complete eclipse Of
previous records, according to esti-

urban and rural communities.
Eifty-eight per cent, or S59S. $50, ,94S,
is to be available to the State highway
departments, of which $461, SIS 400 is
for construction and $137.075,54S for
maintenance. These funds will provide
for construction Of 6,751 miles Of
asphalt, concrete and brick paving;
14.320 miles Of sand-clay. gravel and

earth roads.
This means Improvement Of 29,316
miles Of road, of which 81 OIL will be
paved or otherwise made all-weather.
The States also plan to maintain
234.5S2 miles of road.
The total expenditure by counties
and local units for maintenance and
construction is estimated at $4S1 ,696-

1.-THE aInmeter comes between the
two in such way that when the bal.
ance is in favor of the generator a
charge will be indicated, while II the
battery is carrying the bulk of the
load the meter will indicate discharge.
In between there are a variety of pos
sibilities and combinations.
During the lower speeds of the
engine the situation is simple because
the generator does not feed to the
system until the engine is running ap'
proximately at a speed equivalent to
a car speed of 10 miles an hour. A
generator cut-out attends to this, as |
once told you. So, until the car is
running 10 miles and hour, or over,
the ammeter will show discharge be-
cause the battery is carrying the full
load. Now, when the generator cuts in
the ammeter begins to show a charge,
and the driver is tempted to think that
that the generator is handling the
whole thing.
Action of the Ammeter.
"Some day speed up the engine and
watch the ammeter AS the speed in
creases the ammeter indicator starts
to swing back. If the lights are on
and the car is running fast the
chances are that the amrneter will
show a discharge. All the While the
generator is working at its top speed
and the battery is delivering an out
put, too.
'At high speed the spark delivery is
virtually constant and if the engine is
to deliver anything appoXimating
power the spark must be strong. Now,

take care Of the load. At such times
the battery is called upon to make up
the shortage. If the battery, too, is in
bad condition there is not sufficient
current for good hot spark, and the
engine lacks pep.
Electrical System Pictured.
Before Smith was ready for an ex-
planation of the connection between
battery condition and engine power, it
was necessary to draw for him rough
picture of the usual electrical system
involving storage battery, ammeter,
generator and generator cut-out. He
had vague idea of the arrangement,
however, and knew that when the
ammeter pointer was over on the dis
charge side the spark was being oper-
ated by the battery.
THAT is only half true told him.
THE ammeter pointer may be show
ing a charge and the battery may still
be carrying a large portion Of the load.
1t is entirely q matter of balance be-
tween generator and battery output.

FEVER PUNCTURES NOW
AS HORSES LEAVE ROADS
95 Per Cent Decrease Also Laid to
Larger Number of Cars to
Share Tire Woes.

Punctures. bane of motorists since
pneumatic tires first came into use,
have shown a marked decrease in
recent years. tire experts estimate
troubles are about per cent of their
former number, it is said.
The decrease in the number of
horses using the roads is said to
account largely for the reduction of
punctures. Once nails dropped in
great numbers from the shoes of
horses. while loose and rafting wag-
ons scattered still more hazards for
the automobile tire. Another factor
in lessening the evil is the increase
of cars, which provides so many
more tires to pick up the fewer sharp
objects streWn on roads nowadays.

No. 145: Battery Biography.

It came rather as surprise to
Smith one day to discover the impor'
tant part the storage battery played
in the power of the engine. He had
labored under the impression that the
battery's job ended. with the cranking
Of the engine and that so long as it
handled that job all was well.
A battery, he came to know, plays
a vital role in the powering OF the car
beyond that of starting the engine. 1t
is the basis of the spark, and the spark
is coming to be recognized as the key
to good performance, other things be-
ing equal.
Many a battery is helping out the
generator when the situation should
be just the reverse. The generator
should be feeding to the battery most
Of the time, except on a long journey,
where the starter is seldom used. In
a great many cases, however. the
generator is in need of attention and
does not supply sufficient current to

to rely upon the weakened battery for
the spark. and it is during the ear.r
stages that the engine needs a good
hot spark TO make 1t run efficiently
The trouble with all this is that the
process is automatic. One never fully
appreciates what's going on between
generator and battery until the car
loses power or the battery begins To
run down too quickly.
From the way Sulith has delved into
some OF the more interesting features
Of his car since discovering this. how
ever, it begins to look as II there was
just enough power in his dead" bat
terry to have shocked him into new
lines of thought.

LIFE Of us. AUTO
NOW IS. 7.@ YEARS
Michigan U. Professor Finds
Mortality Rate in Thor
ough Study.

The average life Of an automobile
is 7.04 years.
This conclusion has been reached
by Prof. Clare E. Griffin of the Uni
>ersity of Michigan, who has been
making q thorough study of the
problem of mortality of automobiles
Experiments have revealed that the
mortality rate for automobile follows
II curve similar "in form" to that for
human lives and for various types of
industrial goods.
Further conclusions reached by
Prof. Griffin are:
The average length of life of auto
mobiles has shown a definite though
not a steady increase.
Elimination Rate Shown.
The rate at which automobiles of a
given years production are eliminated
from use Is indicated by the follow
ing facts: OF any given 100000 cars
placed in use 70 per cent will still be
in use at the end of Ats years, 90 per
cent at the end of 6.94 years and 25
per cent at the end of 90 years.
The normal expectation Of life" for
cars at different ages is as follows
For new cars. 7.04 years; for cars So
years of age, 49, years; for cars 6.5
years of age, 2S years; for cars %
wears of age. Is years, and for cars
125 years of age. 1.2 years.
On December 81, 1924. 93.1 per cent
of the cars produced in the preceding
five years, 76.9 per cent of those pro-
duced in the preceding 10 years and
71.3 per cent of those produced in the
preceding 10 years still were in use.
The average age of the cars in use
on December 81, 1924, was 3.07 years.

SIGNALS ARE REFLECTED.
Observing Driver Avoids Gymnas-
tics When Close to Traffic Light.

There is no need for a driver to
crane his neck when waiting for a
traffic signal to change its color and
when up so close to the light as to
be unable to see it without indulg-
inc in some gymnastics.
One observing driver suggests the
plan Of looking into the rear view
mirror If there are other cars behind.
He says the lights are reflected in
the windshields and headlight lenses
of the cars behind. AS soon as the
signals change he also observes in

effort to sell the stock. He met oppo-
sition in every direction. The stock
broker wanted only such stock, he
said, that was on paying basis. Only
listed stock and back of it there must
be certified engineers report cover
ing the present mineral in sight, and
the possible future earnings. He had
secured report from a mining en-
gineer stating the possibilities of the
properties along with various assay
and smelter returns. This did not suf-
flee. He must produce an assay anal
ysis. This he did not have. The cost
for such report required a great deal
of money. Sorry, but we would like
to handle your stock but you know

to sell the stock. Terms were such
that Spencer could not agree to them.
A certain sum had to be paid down.
Then high commission on sales, with
no guarantee. They took no risk. You
paid the freight and then they wanted
to know where they came in on little
stock that might be in sight. 1t was
depressing all through and enough to
dicourage any man. What should he
do? His money was about gone. His
friends SHE'D away fearing that he
might ask them to invest. There was
one man who took flyer and took
small amount Of stock. This enabled
Spencer to go west again. On his re-
turn to his home in Philadelphia he
found his father unable to do anything
for him financially. A letter was await
| ing him also from Leona stating that
she was called to Europe suddenly
owing to the illness of her mother who
was at the Baths in Baden. Just the
day before he left the city he received
word through her relatives that she
had been injured in an automobile
accident and had died. The last hope!
1t was with heavy heart that he
started west again. Things were dis
NAL indeed. There was no possible
opening where he could get capital.
The mineral was there, also the water
power. There were other men who
were successful who could forsee and
who started great industries as rail-
