ally bringing any additional gears into
engagement at their teeth. The sliding
high gear, which is connected to the
shaft that drives through to the rear
wheels, simply fits against the main
driving gear Of the transmission which
is connected to the clutch and engine
These gears have dogs" or protru-
sions, on their sides, so that bringing
them together sidewise makes them en-
gage and operate as one.
All the other combinations are OBJ
tanned through actual end-wise engage
ment of the gear teeth. For a smooth
shift it is essential to have the gears
operating at nearly the same rates OF
speed, but when the high gear engage
ment is desired a greater latitude is
allowable. because it is just a matter OF
catching the dogs"
One of the latest ideas in transmits
Sions, incidentally, is to use these dogs
for second gear as well.
Any consideration of the gears leads
logically to the question as to when and
how a driver can avoid the necessity
of using them. 1t perhaps does not
occur to the average motorist that
keeping the engine in efflcient condi-
ton lessons wear on the gears through
making 1t possible to run slower in
trafflc and faster on hill in high gear
Parking the car on a downgrade may
offer the opportunity of starting in
second. while selecting different route
through trafflc may save many a shift.

More important than the pleasurable

Is the fact that smooth roads cut down

BALTIMORE, February 22.-An ex-

principal highways of the State is plan
ned by the State department of forestry,
according to F. w. BeSley, chief forester
A concerted effort is to be made by
Mr.. BeSley and his assistants to obtain
greater beauty along the Maryland
roads.
Despite billboards, which now clut-
ter the highways, forestry officials have
decided the roadways will make a bet
ter appearance If lined with fine trees
Not only will the forestry department
furnish and supervise the planting Of
the roadside shade trees, but towns
and cities of the State have the privi-
lege of calling on the State forester
for improvement in tree planting.
Mr.. BeSley plans to set out thousands
of shade trees along roadsides and in
the nurseries within a few weeks.
Trees for planting on roadside property
are furnished free from the States
nursery at the University of Maryland's
College Park headquarters.
The forestry department has under
taken an educational program through
out the State, as the planting of trees
along the public highways is now recog-
nized as an improvement second only
in importance to the building and
maintaining Of the highways them
selves" Mr.. Besley said.
While trees are furnished free at
the College Park nursery, transportation
charges must be paid by the applicant"
