HIGHWAYS TO MATCH

CARS CONDITION HELD FACTOR
IN SAFETY OF OTHER AUTOISTS

When is an automobile so old and
decrepit that It's use is a public haZ-
ard?
Answers to this question probably
would vary considerably among mo.
florists as we'll as among automotive
engineers and trained mechanics. One
might insist upon the steering mocha
nism being in good shape. Another
might stipulate satisfactory brakinR
equipment as essential to safety. Still
other opinions probably would empha.
size several items of mechanical
equipment as being extremely neces-
sary to the safe operation of the car.
During the last few years there has
been an increasingly greater tendency
on the part OF State highway depart
ments to regulate the use of aged
cars by law and to place it within the
power Of some official to order off the
streets automobiles evidently unfit for
driving.
Pennsylvania Control.
In the newly adopted motor vehicle
code of the State of Pennsylvania
there is a provision which empowers
the secretary of highways, as head of
the highway commission, to pass upon
the disability of any automobile. This
provision is phrased as follows:
The secretary may suspend the
registration of any motor vehicle
which the secretary is determined is
unsafe or unfit to be operated or is
not equipped as required by law"
BY suspension of the registration
of the car the State thus makes 1t i'm
possible for the owner to operate ii
legally. The wording of the provision
is necessarily general, but in its ell
forcement there must be certain de.
gree of exact Interpretation upon
which to base violations. To achieve
this defniteness the highway depart
ment has formulated. definite policy
in which Is stipulated the various de-
fects which may be considered as
rendering an automobile unsafe for
operation on street or highway.
These mechanical shortcomings were
outlined in a letter to William n.
Harland, Washington's director of
traffic, as follows:
1. Unsafe If not having braking
equipment in good condition.
2. Loose steering mechanism, per-
hitting wheels to oscillate.
3. Bent or broken radius rod.
a. A motor vehicle which has been
subjected to misuse. neglect or acct
dent so rs to affect it's stability or
reliability to an extent that it will not
withstand normal strain and road
work.
S. Not having the following equip.
ment, as required by law: Brakes.

MOTORING EXPRESSIONS
DIFFERENT IN ENGLAND
Hood Is Bonnet and Top Is Hood
to British Au-
foisf

American motorists who travel in
England must not be surprised if,
upon asking an English garage man
to lift the hood of their car, he starts
working on the top, putting it either
up or down, s the case may be. Nor
if the garageman asks the motorist
how he got so much mud on his bon
net, the hat shouldn't be taken off and
inspected.
1t merely !s difference in expires
sion which, under circumstances,
might cause some confusion. The
term hood" in England is the same
as top" in the United States, while
bonnet" over there goes for hood"
here.
There are other differences, such as
stranger for choke, saloon for sedan,
screen for Windshield and accumulation
for storage battery.

An Improvement which is rather

be the widening of the road which

be called park traffic, also moves a
very considerable amount of traffic

proved seed. Under the system of crop
improvement developed in the state ap-
proved seed is every bit as pure and de-
pendable as registered seed; the only diff
ference being that approved seed is
grown on a larger scale so that a sufh-
cient supply may be available for COM
mercial growers.
Some counties in the state have al
ready reached the point where nearly 100
per cent Of the grain seed used is either
registered, approved or but generation
removed from pure seed. The use Of
such seed means increased yields per
acre, better quality and uniformity Of
product, all Of which factors are of de-
cided financial benefit to the producer.
Six counties are already producing more
pure seed than is required to meet local
demands and growers are developing an
export seed business which has great
promise. Twenty Of Montana's counties
produce surplus Of alfalfa seed and
this has become an export business Of
considerable magnitude.
In addition to the search for improved
varieties and the work of crop improve
ment there are several hundred tests and
demonstrations being carried on by CO.
operating farmers in improved methods
of crop production and crop utilization.
This year there are SO demonstrations in
20 wheat growing counties on the plow-
less method of summer fallow, and 81
in other summer fallow methods. There
are is demonstrations in the use of bet
ter tillage implements, 10 on the furrow

4 n interesting story Of the results in
N one instance of the distribution of
L "A more than score Of purebred reg
istered Holstein bull calves a little
more than two years ago in northern
Montana is told by Chas. D. Greenfield.
agricultural development agent of the
Great Northern in Montana.
In the fall of 1925 President Ralph
Budd, Of the Great Northern, purchased
from the Carnation company a number
of registered Holstein bull calves ranging
in age from three to eleven months. The
animals were loaned to farmers along the
line of the Great Northern in Montana
and North Dakota about 20 being in
Montana. The only requirement was that
the farmer be interested in dairy stock
that he have the shelter and feed to care
for the animal properly, and that where
it was feasible he loan the animal to his
neighbors for breeding. After three years
the animals were to be exchanged so the
work Of breeding up could be systemat-
ically continued.
Among those who received an animal
under these conditions was Peter Hoag-
land, who operates the Sklower Brothers
ranch and dairy farm two miles from
Malta. Mr.. Hoagland was peculiarly fit
ted to be entrusted with one of the ami
mails. Born in Holland on dairy farm

quantity of juice. If the pure Juice.
without sugar, should be boiled to the
Jelly state, it would take a long time to
reach it, boiling down to almost nothing.
The jelly would be dark colored, strong
favored and very tough and leatherv. On
the other hand, if too much sugar is
added, the jelly stage is reached soon,
but the jelly will be sticky and fluid.
The ideal to strive for is a jelly which
is tender but not sticky, which will hold
its shape but not be tough. The proper
tion Of sugar to pectin will determine
that.
In juice such as that from gooseber-
rles and currants which is rich in pectin.
giving the one per cent test, the right
proportion is usually 1 cup Of sugar to
cup Of liquid. If the pectin is not so
abundant, "a cup Of sugar to l cup Of
liquid will give firm jelly.
1t is very important that Jelly should
have just the right amount of cooking.
AS we have said, it should boil rapidly.
Most people are likely to cook it too
long, and when it is gummy they Won
der what the trouble is. Many house
wives never make jelly that isn't tough.
Too long cooking will inevitably make
jelly rubbery, and not the tender quiver-
ing well-shaped dome it should be.
The best test for jelly is to use a candy
thermometer. Boil the syrup until it
registers l03 degrees Centigrade, or 900
degrees Farenheit, depending on which
kind your thermometer is.
There are other Jelly tests. The old
one is to take out a little of the LIQUID
onto a cool saucer. If it stiffens as it
cools, the jelly is done. This is uncer-
tain, however, and all the time the Jelly
on the saucer is cooling, the jelly on the
stove is cooking.
A better test is the spoon" test. II
two drops on spoon run together and
fall as one, or the drops instead OF
dripping will fall in a sheet, the Jelly
has been cooked long enough.
