540 miles 'of federal aid road were un-

The first can bo accomplished only
by grading nnd 'draining the rond In n

FINANCING SYSTEM OF ROADS

Discussion.
Just how a county or district should
proceed to Qnanco n system of roads
Is a- matter open for discussion. It
depends upon how rapidly they need

A hood that has a tendency to rat-

may bo silenced by drilling a scries of

the hood rests nnd threndlng a sfrlp

way the hood rests on leather Instead

ARRANGING TOOLS IN GARAGE
Splendid Idea to Qlve Device a Num-

An ndmlrnble Idea ln the arrange-
Jient of tools In tho homo garage Is
to give each tool a number which Is
painted on It. The same iuunber Is

It Is ready when It Is next needed.

TIRE TREAD DESIGN
IS VERY IMPORTANT
Has Much to Do yvith Ease of
Steering a Car.
Especially So on Large Machines
Where Contact With Road Surface
Is Broad Two Styles of Tires
Complicates Matters.
Tho trend design of nn rutomolillo
tire may be a matter nf small conse-
quence to the driver of n small cnr
hut every driver of n heavy car knows
thnt the tread configuration has n
good deal to do with the ease with
which the car mny bu steqred.
On the smaller cars the area of the
tread that Is In contact with the road
surface Is xo Miinll that an Improper
dclgn mny cause little trouble. Hut
when a heavy car settles down cm Its
tires the driver flnds himself called
on for the exercise of constant atten-
tion nnd effort to keep 4ho car from
swerving off the rond. If tho tread de-
sign Is Improper type.
One point on which nil motorists ngiea
ti that the tires on the rear wheels
should be of n good non-skid pattern
and that the front tires should have n
tread design thnt will keep them run-
ning ahead In n straight line With n
minimum of steering effort on thp part
of the driver.
Tho Ideal tire tread Is one that can
be used with eqtmlly gtipd results on
any wheel cither front or back. Given
such n tire a motorist need carry
only one spare and his car Is always
evenly hnlunccd no matter what tire
changes he makes. Hut If ono style
trend Is used on the front wheels nnd
another on the rear tho motorist wll!
usually carry two spares one of oath
tpo. Having two tjpes furnishes n
further complication when It Is de-
sired to shift partly-worn tires from
the hardworking rear wheels to the
front wheels In order to get n few
thousand' miles more wear out ot them
before they go to (ho scrap heap. The
