miles.
TN the meantime, while his mileage
is not under the supervision OF the state
highway, it is up to the counties to take
care Of them and see that they are at
least dragged and kept in good shape"
MIR. GOA explained. THE highway COM
mission has no power nor right to AXE
care of them until they have been con-
structed in accordance with the program
provided by initiative 81. And while the
rural routes are not to be ignored by the
counties, they should devote at least as
much time comparatively to the main
line roads.
1--WE are inclined to take criticism from
the tourists with good grace, but for a
state with an area Of 147,0 900 square miles
having 100000 inhabitants who must
meet the expense Of such a great high
way system necessary to cover such a
large area, it is my Judgment that we
are not any worse on than i k areas in
any other section of tie United States
with a similar population ratio to the
square mile.
Criticism by our own people plays a
large part in the discomfort. People from
this state leave here on a tour Of other
parts OF the country going to sections
where the population Is much denser and
roads are better. They come nome and
tell their newspaper and anybody that
Will hear them about the tnferiority Of
Montana roads. II these same people,
so free with adverse criticism Of roads
would show the same interest in their
communities and working with theil
automobile association or the roads com
mittee Of the commercial clubs, the re-
suits would be much better and more
gratifying.
Time, patience, work and co-opera-
ton on the part Of all the people Of the
state were given by Mr.. Coca as the
present need IN solving the road problem
people remember the bad stretches Of
road but are prone to forget how many
miles Of good highway they travelled ove
in making their trip about the state.
"The law stipulates how much worl
shall be done In Zach section and TIT
highway commission only administrate
the provisions made by the legislature,
Mr. Coca said in explaining that the ad
verse criticism received by the highws,
commission comes generally from thos
ignorant Of the duties OF the commits
sion.

DRIVERS Should Keep
CarbmretOrS Cleaned

Midsummer driving is attended by
one minor setback, dust. Every pic
mic drive, every spin on a delightful
evening, as well as the longer cross
state tour picks up it's quota which
gradually works its way into every part
of the car, according to POWerized deal
erS.
Thousands Of motor cars running sat
isfactorily on Powerized gasoline will give
an added measure of full power by clean
ing the carburetor about this time of
the year. In many carburetors, which
have screens to eliminate sediment, it
will be found that much grit and dirt
has collected.
This is due to the constant intake of
air in the mixing chamber, indrawn by
the powerful suction Of the motor.
Thousands Of the newer model cars are
now equipped with filters for the gaso-
line, the air and the lubricating oil.
Thousands of others, however, which are
rolling up good mileage on Powerized
gasoline economy by cleaning the gaso-
line feed system and the carburetor. An
other frequent source Of difficulty is the
screen in the vacuum tank intake.
Tests Of a number Of cars Of various
makes v collected from two and one
half to three ounce of fine dust / a
seasons driving, which creates more car
bon in the motor and always threatens
to maj an otherwise splendid outing.
Cleaning the feed lines with sweet, clean,
hardhitting, double distilled Powerized
gives the ultimate / fuel economy and
power.

SMITH CAMPAIGN
 DRAWS COMMENT
0lyany Sure He Will Get Nomi- nati0n-G. Q. P. Undisturbed

New York. Jan. 12.--tP,-Presi- dential ambitions of Governor AL 1 fred F. Smith today drew comment from both republican and demo- cratic circles.
 George W. Olvany, leader of Tam many hall. in statement predicted Governor Smith would win the democratic nomination on the pro- hibition issue, while the bureau of statistical research of the republican state committee said the business man would first desire the govern or's opinion on the tariff and on operation of public utilities before any nominations were made.
 Olvany said he had received let ters from widely separted states, especially in the south, indicating a pronounced drift of sentiment to- ward Smith. William Gibbs McAdoo of California he said will have but little success in organizing effective opposition to Smith in this state. Prohibition will "unquestionably be the chef issue at the 1928 demo- cratic convention, in Mr. Olvany's opir.on.
 The bureau of statistical research of the republican state committee said that before Smith is accepted as a presidential nominee, the Ameri- can business man will desire ''to be informed whether the agile MT. Smith is high or low tariff man, whether he intends to apply the socialistic principles of public own ership and operation of public utili- ties to national industries and whether the financial activities which have increased state expenses by 226 per cent are to be carried to Washington by Tammany."
 Further democratic comment came from Franklin D. Roosevelt, manager of Governor Smiths 1924 presidential campaign. He said that regardless of who was nominated the New York democrats would abide by the result of the convention.
 MT. Roosevelt's statement was caused by two recent predictions of a bolt. In the United States senate Monday Senator Bruce of Mary land said that if the democrats nominated a dry the vets would name another candidate, and in New York the same day w. G. s. Fisher, head of the progressive political league said that if Smith should be nominated an independent democrat would be placed in the field.

 Cady bases his forecast on a study of the waters between Santa Cata- lima island and the California main- land during the years he has been swimming instructor here and on the recent test in which relay team of fifteen recently swan the Catalina channel.
 Ross is a fast swimmer and can reel off mile after mile in 29 minutes each if the going is not too rough. Cady said. With a high sea running and extremely cold water, Cady picks Sullivan to take the s25,000 mems prize. Sullivan uses the breast stroke and swims with slow and steady stroke.
 Cady estimates Ross should cross the 22 mile stretch in 14 hours while Sullivan probably would re- quire 20 hours.

'FINIS IS WRITTEN
 0N COLLEGE BREAK
Princeton Substitutes HaYeri0rd
 for Harvard on Schedule

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. F LPl- l Finis had been written today in the | Harvard Princeton athletic break
 that disrupted the Big Three of east =
 crn collegiate sport shortly after the CrimsonTiger football same here last fall.
 Simultaneous with the announce ment that the Harvard board of | overseers decided last night not 10 act on the report of a special com mittee which studied the situation with view to suggesting possible grounds for reapproachment came word that Princeton had sub stituted Haverford college for liar yard on it's basketball schedule.
 The decision of the overseers was more sharply emphasized because il came on the heels of an expression from Dana Bartholomew, chairman
 of the incoming board of the Yale Daily News, in which he voiced the hope that an agreement between the New Jersey and ssachusetts insti- tutions would not be far distant.
 Bartholomew's statement was made on the previous night at Wal lingford. Conn, following confer ence attended by representatives of the News, the Harvard Crimson, the Princetonian and the Dart mouth.
 Harvards' tabling of the special committees report climaXes a series of official and unofficial attempts to patch Harvard and Princeton diff ferences. These were started soon after Princeton formally severed athletic relations on November 10,
 They included an apology by the Harvard Lampoon for its barbed references to Princeton on the day of the game here which were credit ed with having precipitated open hostilities. Formal expressions of regret were made by President Low ell of Harvard to President Hibben of Princeton and later undergradu- ate conferences were undertaken. These, however failed.
 Subsequently Harvard and Prince ton men competed in track meet with Yale, and teams from both in stitutions have played chess against each other but all major athletic relations were summarily dropped.

SMUDGE POTS BURNING
 ON FLORIDA FARMS
Continued Cold Spell Threatens Citrus Growers Produce
 Crops Damaged.

Jacksonville Fla, Jan. 1o.-tPl-- | The states army of citrus growers | laid down a barrage of smudge pots | today in a counter attack on the coldest weather the section has sui fered in years.
 Ripening oranges and grapefruit had been damaged in several locali- ties between Daytona. Beach on the east coast and Clearwater on the west was threatened with heavy loss by severe frosts, Farmers patrolled their groves during last night and where temperatures were as low as 2S degrees, the freezing point for citrus fruits, smudge pots were lighted.
 This practice, resorted to in emergency, consists of firing huge vessels of oil and in some instances pitch pine. The resultant dense smoke combats frost in the immedi- ate vicinity.
 Only in isolated sections had citrus fruit been damaged appre- ciably but over a large area, gar den crops. notably early vegetables, had been cut down. Sections continu- ous with Clearwater, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, West Palm Beach, on the east coast, and Miami farther south were hardest hit.
 Reception of weather forecasts by radio and from the neWspaperS fore warned many farmers and growers and the newspapers today were be- sieged with the question of What is the weather doing?"
 The forecast was for higher tem- peratures.

 While three of the teams were be- lieved to value Wheat chiefly as a pinch-hitting acquisition, the Giants offered possibilities to Zach of enter ing the regular lineup.
