NEW ADJUSTMENT
SEEN INEFFICIENT
Rich Mixture Fails to Aid
Motor Performance on Hills,
Expert Finds.

When the average driver wants to
climb a hill with great ease, he en-
riches the carbureter mixture. Fail
ing to understand the instrument well
enough to do this. he is likely to go
on climbing. but wishing all the while
that he had been able to make the
change The popular idea about power
is that a rich mixture is essential to
good engine performance, but, like
many other popular notions, it has no
basis in fact.
Recently an experienced driver had
this point brought home to him con-
vincingly, according to a prominent
authority in the automotive industry
who has given the subject consider
able attention. This driver, it is point
ed out, had enriched the mixture prior
to a 50-lnile run that was mainly up
hill. The engine, however, failed to
take the hills in high gear and did not
deliver the performance hoped for.
Reaching more level country" it is
related. he stopped, raised the hood
and leaned the mixture with a view to
saving gasoline. There was no
thought of power. AS a matter of

economy would be worth while.
Imagine his surprise when he came
to those steep hills and found that the
engine performed far better than on
any Of the previous grades where the
mixture had been richer. He was
quick to appreciate the fact that the
engine was benefiting through get.
ting more air at wide.open throttle,
and he resolved that in the future he
would lean the mixture rather than
enrich it when desiring to get the best
out of the power plant.
"Of course. such mixture changes
are over only a narrow margin, but
most experienced motorists have
learned that carburetor adjustments

RIGID OPERATORS
!. TESTS WIN PRAISE
observer Holds Steps Are
/. Being Taken to Prevent
Careless Driving.

One of the most hopeful signs on
the automotive horizon is the trend
toward making the test for operators
permits increasingly rigid. This means
that steps are being taken to check
an evil at its source, to avoid trouble
!, by eliminating it.
These points are made by Oscar
Coolican. local Packard distributor,
who points out that while it may
seem hard on the new owner at first
glance, nevertheless this position,
which is being assumed by a widening
circle of motor vehicle officials, is one
which bears excellent fruit from the
point of view Of individual and public
safety.
Drivers Disregard Others.
''Much of that which proves most
dangerous. demoralizing and confus-
( ing in today's driving" Mr.. Coolican
declares. ''is traceable to the fact that
many drivers have no consciousness
of their relationship to other street
users.
''When we drive through n city to-
day, we find too many exhibitions of
individualism. There is the driver
who occupies the middle of the thor
oughfare regardless of the speed at
which he is travelling. We meet the
man who makes left turn from the
right-hand side of the street and the
one who turns to the right even
though he may be driving in the CEN
ter of the thoroughfare. The right
of.way rule, the basis Of all safety, is
f1outed by many.
"The motorists who resort to these
practices are the ones who have lost
sight of the important fact that motor
car operation is a highly cooperative
enterprise"
A thorough knowledge of the traffic
regulations, while vital, is not ade-
uuate in itself to assure that each mo-
torist will drive as though he were
alive to the necessity for fitting HIM
self into the traffic scheme of things,
Mr.. Coolican believes.
Golden Rule Policies.
Driving to assure the utmost in
pleasure and usefulness from the mod
ern automobile is more than a matter
of deferring to the regulations" he
says. Zone must defer also to those
hundred and one eXigencies that arise.
This means a constant display of cour-
tesy, a willingness to do to others as
we would have them do to us. Let
each motorist ask himself how much
his own driving would improve. how
much more enjoyment and service he
would get out of his car if he oper-
ated it in the manner that he would
have others operate their automobiles.
ITO assure rapid and safe move
ment of traffic, we all must recognize
that in driving a car we have re-
sponsibility not only to ourselves but
to every other street user.
This most valuable lesson is one
that is being learned by those who are
acquiring their operators permits
under the more rigorous standards
applying today. And while certainly
no one wishes to see any limitation
imposed on the number Of those per-
mitted to operate cars, every one will
be satisfied to see limits placed on the
way many are inclined to drive at
times"

Roads Built in Last

motor tourists new vistas of scenic
beauty, and throwing open to easier
and more pleasant travel regions hith-

States and counties, aided by the Fed
eral Government, during the last fiscal
year constructed 1870 miles of roads
in and adjacent to the national forests.
The desired transportation system
for the national forests as planned for
the next 10 years, according to the
United States Forest Service, includes
total of 51,26S miles of roads and
110.3S5 miles of trails. To reconstruct
and complete the present unsatisfac-

Forest Roads Expenditures.
The amount expended on all forest
road construction during the last fiscal
wear was $7,713535, of which S6.7S7,-
656 was from Federal funds, and the
remainder, S925,ST9. from local co.
operative State and county funds.
The 1870 miles of forest roads CON
structed during the year included 292
miles Of major highways and 1,07S
miles of minor roadWays. The latter
are primarily county and community
roads and are for forest protection
and development The major high
ways were built by the Bureau of
Public Roads, while the minor roads
were constructed by the Forest Serv-
ice.
During the same fiscal year 1927
there was expended $946,622 for the
construction of 4,9S7 miles of forest
trails.
In addition to the construction work
S1,593950 was expended on the mainte-
nance OF forest roads and trails during

covering a total of 1854 miles of
roads and 50,667 miles of trails.
1929 Miles Completed.
Up to te close of the last fiscal year
there had been completed a total of
1929 miles of forest roads at a cost
of $62 ,044,15S, representing an eXpen-
diture of $47,775,034 of Federal funds
and $14,269,1 of cooperative funds.
The mileage of trails constructed to
July /, 1927. amounted to 31.607, the
total expenditure to that date includ-
ing $6,060,964 of Federal funds and
$251,012 of cooperative funds, or a
total of $6.311 ,916.
The financial cooperation in forest
road and trail construction furnished
to date by interested States and coun-
ties containing national forests has
amounted to approximately one-fourth
of the amount appropriated from Fed
eral funds. Oregon has contributed the
largest amount. with s5.059, $40. while
California is second with $3,075,67S.
The three States which show the larg-
est mileage of forest roads completed
by July /. 1927, are Oregon. with g.

and California, with 1858 miles.
