A stretch of silver highway, rivaling
the famous Colorado motor highway
of gold, came very near being built in
Utah recently. Engineers surveying
a route for a Federal-aid road laid it
on; 50 that at one point it crossed
dump of mine tailings of considerable
silver, the engineers not realizing the
dump had any material value.
When the projected route became
known, the owners Of the dump assert
ed the State could use the route, pro-
yided il would reimburse them for the
silver which would lie beneath the
highway. The estimate of this reim.
bursement was so high that the State
decided to shift the highway route and
avoid the dump. The road now is
being built of dirt and the silver has
been left 10 the miners.
The famous Colorado gold highway
runs for a stretch of miles on the
road to Denver north of Colorado
Springs. In this stretch, mixed in
with the concrete are fiour-fine par
ticles of gold to the value of $4,000 to
every mile of highway. The golden
highway resulted from the fact that
rock used in the concrete mixture
came from some of the dumps of the

There are approximately 1000 tons

which would bring the value to $4,000.

Parts InteractiOn.


Smith often had heard it said that
an automobile is much lille the human
body, but it was not until he had a
little difficulty with his gear shifting
that he realized the great truth of
this. IL any one unit of an automobile
is slightly out of adjustment it not
merely will be inefficient itself. but
will, in turn, adversely AFFECT other
parts of the car. Sometimes these re-
latiOnships are quite interesting. They
always are important.
Who would imagine. for insta ance,
that a slight adjustment of the carblI-
rotor would make the gears shift to
better advantage? Who would sup
eating oil would make an engine race?
Who would imagine that warm day
would make car skid badly?
Relationship Important.
Smith was the last person to imag-
inc any of these conditions, yet very
little evidence was necessary to con
vince him that they do occur. For
some time he had been noticing that
his gear shifting was accomplished
only with considerable amount of
ingenuity and effort on his part. 1t
seemed to him that the clutch was
revolving too fast for proper meshing
of the gears. That this was part of
the explanation was admitted by the
mechanic to whom he took the car.
But there was an underlying reason
for the excessive clutch speed. and this
the mechanic proceeded to uncover.
Picture Smiths surprise when the
mechanic raised the hood and, making
few simple experiments with the
throttle at the carburetor, announced
4. u -
the difficult gear shifting. What could
the carburetor possibly do to compli-
cate a mechanical process?
You see," the mechanic explained,
'there is an adjustment here to regu-
late the speed of the engine when
idling. 1t Is necessary to have care.
full adjustment at this point not only
for econOmy's sake, but also in the
matters of stalling and gear shifting.
There really is no mystery about it
because il you will think it over care
fully you will see that il the engine
idles too fast the clutch will tend to
follow at too high a speed. When
you press out the pedal the cluth will
have a tendency to be slow in coming
to a speed suitable for a quiet and
comfortable shift of the gears"
"Well, that simplifies matters
Smith replied. ''I realize you must
prevent any possibility of stalling, but
the slower the engine revolves. L sup
pose, the better the gear shifting"
About the Clutch Gear.
You're wrong about that" the
other replied II have just been work
ing on a car where the situation was
the reverse of yours. The engine was
idling so slowly that every time the
driver pressed out the clutch it came
to an immediate stop. This prevented
a smooth shift. OF course, the remedy
was relatively simple. / merely set
the stop so that the throttle could not
close so far"
Smith watched the mechanic strike

justment of the carburetor for better
gear shifting, but he still was some
what skeptical of this relationship be-
tween carburetor and gears. He could
not quite understand how the clutch
could affect the gears to such an ex.
tent. although he appreciated that the

placed before the National Automobile
Chamber nf Commerce by its directors
at an early date as the result Of a
unanimous vote at it's recent FAN
meeting requesting the directors to
formulate remedial program.
A proposal that the automobile In.
dustry redoubie its efforts to improve
traffic conditions was made by j. j,
Raskob, who urged the adoption of q
plan of action which would have the
dual aim II research and remedy for
present complexities in the traffic
problem. The motion to take the
necessary steps toward formulating
such a program was made by Alvan
Macauley, chairman Of the street
traffic committee of the chamber.
Two Things Necessary.
This Is job which must be
handled in 4 big way, with leadership
and vision of the future" said Mr..
Raskob. There are two main things
which must be done. We need proper
research, fact-hndins. so that the
principles and policies will be founded
on sound economic basis. We need
next the bissest kind of leadership to
put such plans into effect, to un-
shackle the traffic which binds motor
transport today.
''The n. A. G.. c. has done much in
an educational way in the study Of
this problem. but motor travel has
grown so rapidly that we need to
broaden ana intensity our Efforts
Mr.. RaSkob held that since motor
transportation carries the largest mum.

travel, it presents problem calling
for the best brains which the Nation
possesses.
1T is possible to so design and To-
cate our city streets and highways
that the travelling public will be able
to utilize a much higher average of
speed and with far greater safety
than is possible today" said Mr..
Raskob.
Report on Surveys.
A. T. Waterfall, member of the
traffic committee of the chamber and a
deputy police commissioner Of Detroit,
reported on the intensive SURVEYS
which that city has made, and pointed
out that surveys of this sort reveal
that relatively simple remedies are
tremendously effective in providing
greater utilization of street space.
Rerouting Of street car lines and
busses, using mass transportation for
express service. making fuller use of
parking routes, installing the platoon
system Of signal lights and limiting
signal lights to the points where they
are needed were among the remedies
which Mr.. Waterfall suggested.

Another handicap which dealers
face is the lack of adequate facilities
for time purchases. In Japan deferred
payments have been looked upon as
somewhat of a disgrace, although
gradually this view is losing ground.
However, another obstacle exists, that

Rent Cars to Purchasers.
A method which now is being tried
out is that of renting the car to the
purchaser until he has completely paid
for it. Under this system. the car
does not belong to the purchaser until

this case the dealer is held RESPONSE.

being that the buyer feels he is being

On account of rapid deterioration
resultant from poor roads and the low
purchasing power of the monetary
unit, the trend is toward inexpensive
cars. No automobiles are produced in
China, while in Japan there are but
two companies, according to official
reports, and one of these produced less
than 200 units annually, according to
the most reliable information. The
interior of the two countries promises
a vast potential market for automo.
