reveal worn down pistons and cylin-

What. happens as result Of this
wear Is the loss Of power through
only partial combustion Of the fuel>
and through partial pressure Of the
expanding gas against the worn
cylinder. The rest of the gas
escapes through the widened gap
between piston and cylinder wall.
What's worse is that the un.
burned gasoline flows down through
this gap, mixes with the lubricating
oil in the crankcase, and helps play
further havoc with the cylinder
walls and the bearings. >, -,

Drivers Pay Billion
For Highway Use

Washington, Feb. 2G.-The cost of
building and maintaining roads in
this country amounts to nearly one
billion dollars a year and is being
paid directly or indirectly by motor
lists who make use of the highways.
according to a study made by Thorn
as II. Macdonald, chief Of the bureau
Of public roads, department of agri
culture.
This cost represents the money
spent each year just for country
roads and does not include the ex-
pense Of city streets.
'"MOre interesting than the road
development ITSELF" said Macdonald,
"are the various means employed to
distribute highway costs among mo-
florists in just and convenient man
ncr.
estate gasoline and registration
taxes represent about half Of this
amount. The gasoline tax varies
from one to five cents in the various
states, while New Jersey, New York,
Illinois and Massachusetts have no
gas tax. These states depend upon
the great number of automobile reg
istrations to furnish revenue for
road construction.
.Other important sources Of reve-
nue. for highways are property taxes
on automobiles Of this country, fed
cral excise tax on automobiles, parts
and accessories and fines collected
from motorists.
"There are also the taxes on prop
erty Of the automobile manufactures
and buildings and lots devoted to
motor car merchandising. The in
come and corporation taxes from
motor business and the state, local,
production, corporation or income
taxes Of the petroleum industry add
to the road fund"
Federal aid also assists in road
building, but it's share is compare
lively small, according to Macdonald,
who says, "In the eight years from
1918 to 1925 the government has con-
tributed $46O,OOO,0O0 to help the
states build roads.
"That is cons iderably less than
half Of what the country spent on
roads in either 1924 or 1925. More
over, in the same eight years that
the government was distributing
s46O. 900 900 in the states, it collected
$873,OOO, 900 in internal revenue taxes
on motor cars, parts and accessories
SO motorists furnish the money for
this contribution"

Jewclry Popular
Jcwclry of all kinds is much in
vogue. Gold bracelets, bangles, ear
rings. buttons and belt fastenings are
used Buckles, clasps. earrings and
bracelets Of brilliants are often seen.
Pearls are favored for both evening
and day time wear.
Other popular frock decorations are
velvet, silk or metallic flowers. There
are some unusually lovely shoulder
and waist corsages on display this
spring.
A new note in bag decoration is the
silver mesh trimming. Bags. in adj
dition to being very attractive. are
most practical. The simple leather
bag holds highest position in the
mode. Shirred leather, two tone com.
