It may be unreasonable to speak in
this column about woods fires, but the
danger is ever present, and warnings
cannot be too frequently given. In
Maryland last year there were 2,313
fires, causing damage of 1861 ,011.30,
costing $62,959.70. Of these fires PSF
were in Garrett county, doing a dam
age of $24,953.67. Smoking caused IS
percent of the fires, brush burning II,
and "a percent were of incendiary
origin. With these figures in mind,
it pays to be careful.

The driver who, finding a parking

The driver who, seeing the red

still keeps UP his speed and with a

In short, all drivers who are
thoughtless and inconsiderate of the
rights of others and who escape ac-
cidents only through miracles and
the skill with which their fellow
citizens can keep out Of their way.

Special Dispatch to the star.
BALTIMORE, April 25.-The State
Of Maryland will be impr~ ed by 95
miles OF new hard-surfaced roads, 1t will
have ii new bridges, and three grade
crossings will have been eliminated
when work planned by the State Roads
Commission, and for the most part
awarded TO contractors, Is completed.
The work, commission engineers esti-
mate, will put some $2,600,000 into the
hands of Maryland contractors.
The Roads Commission decided last
Autumn to carry out every possible
project as means Of keeping men en-
ployed during the Winter months.
Acting on this decision, any work
which would not run the risk Of dam
age from the cold has been put through.
The relocation of roads where prepar-
ing the new site would not inconven-
fence the travellers on the old highways
has been done, and also the building of
bridges. At the same time the COM
mission has prepared plans for addi-
tional work which might be carried on
at the earliest time in the Spring, and
it "a this work which forms the bulk
Of the $4,000, 900 In contracts which
have been awarded.
The pouring Of concrete on the roads
can be started in Maryland during the
first part Of April without danger of
damage from freezing. The contractors
are said to be working on their projects
now, many OF them being we'll under
way, and the concreting will take place
as soon rs 1t Is feasible.

chances are that he will find himself

"Clear vision IL DISTRACTED In many
ways. Sometimes q driver does 1t him
self by allowing stickerk to be attached
TO the windshield or rear window, or by
pili1g parcels on the rear seat or beside
himself, so that he cannot see clearly
at an intersection with other trafilc
bearing down upon him. Many rear-efd
collisions occur because the rear-view
mirror Is useless.
Overlooking the car with passen-
gers either in the front or rear seat often
results In blocking the drivers view of
the road. Since the driver approach

that one should be able TO See clearly
on that side Of the car. The same holds
true of clear vision TO the rear. The

reflects what Is occurring behind the
car.
ITO insist on clear view OF the road

dripe comes from the clutch throwout
This suggestion does not apply to
clutches which are designed TO run in
Oil.
An observing woman who watched her
engine being taken down was interested
to note that the bearings were plain
and not Of the ball or roller type.
Knowing the many uses for the latter
type bearings in the automobiles chassis,
she naturally wanted TO know why the
engine wasn't given the advantage Of
this Improvement.
She was informed that one make Of
engine ie equipped With ball bearings,
but the mechanic went on to say that
there u some question as to whether
this is any advantage. He surprised her
when stating that II an engine L. in
good condition the cfaflkshaft should
step the instant the ignition 10 switched
Off
Where ball ana roller bearings are
used their main use is to reduce fric-
ton 30 a minimum and allow the parts
to rotate more freely. In the engine
conditions are different On every other
upswing Of each piston the resistance of
high compression is met. The engine
thus tends TO stop while 1t Is actually
in process OF propelling Itself. II the
bearings are reasonably smooth and
well fabricated. they are adequate. In
fact, they must be rather snug In At,
since there is considerable strain on
each power stroke.
Any woman who will take the trouble
to read the above will not have TO take
any ones say-so regarding the condition
Of her engine. There are. many tests
that are furnished by noting how an
engine acts under certain conditions,
and enc Of them is to see II it stops
promptly when the ignition Is switched
of. If 1t turns over q few times, the
indications are that compression is too
low.
You can keep the car cleaner any
rainy day by driving more moderately.
At speeds around 40 the wheels will
create spray that will leave the car
looking unSightly.
