CONGRESS TO PASS

Ask Congress
to Act.
"While tho national legislative jro-
gram us set forth In the predentin!
message did not contain aiy reference
to highways It Is not Improbable that
a good roads bill will be passed at the
short winter session of congress.
Keoently the governors of Southern
and western states sent the following
telegram to l'resldent Wilson: "We
inoft earnestly urge that congress
make good the Baltimore pledge and
pass a good roads bill at the winter
session. I'ublic sentiment overwhelm
ingly demands It and will nistaln you
In urging upon congress well-directed

tion and maintenance."
J'roTiilneut in the Atlantic Good
Itoads congress among the advocates
tor federal aid was Dr. 8. M. Johnson
of Uoswell N. M. In his address Dr.
Johnson made It very clear that while
those sections distinctively agricultu-
ral required for their development the
market road fully one-half of the na.
tional domain was not predominantly
agricultural but devoted to mining-
tho raising of live stork or Industries
related to the presence of the health
seeker the tourist the leisure class;
and that through routes of travel
were as vltul to the development of
the non-agricultural regions an the
community road was to the agrlcultu.
ral areas. The convention was fully
convinced that tho point was well
taken and so declared In the resolu-
tions unanimously adopted.
Dr. Johnson resided for several
years In North Carolina before remov-
ing to New Mexico and conferences
which lie has had during the past
fortnight with Senators Simmons und
overman of North Carolina and Gov
ernor Craig cause him to believe fed-
eral roads legislation Is possible at
Die short session. Governor Craig
feels that there Is nothing more Im-
portant than the betterment of the
roads and he quickly secured the
several governors to Join him In tele-
grams to President Wilson.

suggested Dint provision 1'fi mudo at
this session for congress to continue
und enlarge the work the government
has been doing for experimental roads
by making an appropriation of $60.
OHO for experimental post-roads and
an additional $50woo for roads across
forest and Indian reservations and
other federalized areas where such
links form parts of established routes
of travel. Senator Thomas gave hie
hearty endorsement to the proposal.
It Is unnecfssary to say that Senators
Kail and Carton of New Mexico are
fuvorablo to the plan.
Dr. Johnson In commenting upon
the situation said: "It would seem
therefore that so simple und sensible
a proposition ought to meet the ap-
proval of congress the president and
the country at large. To refuse to
provide for the continuance of the
work which the government him al
ready undertaken and which hnh
been crowned with signal success the
building of experimental post-roads
would seem very unwise inasmuch aH
tentative work la pointing; the way
to the solutloii of the general prob-
lem. To provide for the extension of
the work along the line Indicated
seems .reasonable in view of the fact
that lu many instances not only
through routes of travel und also
market roads lie ucross federalized
areas not open to entry or coloniza-
tion." Another fact to which Dr. Johnson
calls attention Is that even In Char-
lotte N. C the comity seut of Meck-
lenburg county which was the county
cited at tho Atlunta congress as typi-
cal of the value of the market roads
the sentiment In very strong and In-
sistent for the through routes of
travel as well from Washington to
Klchmond to Savannah and Jackson-
ville Atlanta and New Orleans.
Charlotte Is making strenuous effort
to link up with otiher North Carolina
centers and also with South Carolina
und Georgia.
Completes 5300 Miles.
When Miss Delia Crewe the plucky
girl motorcyclist who Is touring the
world on her two-wheeler accompa-
nied by her dog Trouble as her only
companion recently arrived in Pough-
keepsle N. Y. she had covered 5300
miles awheel. This is probably the
greatest distance ever traveled by a
girl on a motorcycle with sidecar. And
this Is tmly a very small part of the
trip which Miss Crewe plans to ac-
complish. When asked her reason for
making" the tour Miss Crewe replied:
"Well I lovo nature better than beau-
tiful clothes or luxuries and I decid-
ed that I would enjoy a trip of this
kind more than anything else. It In
the call of tho road 1 suppose. Al-
though I have traveled a grout deal
I never havo derived so much enjoy-
ment from traveling as I have since
1 started on this tour last June."
Chns. G. Kear southwestern auto-
mobllist and good roads enthusiast
writes Kred Shaw: "See you auto
dealers have taken a stand for a
cash basis. You tiro on the right
track. Profits have been eaten by
dead beats."
Insult to Injury.
The greatest insult ever heaped
upon an inexpensive but very popular
make of automobile Is here recorded:
The proprietor of one of the ma
chines was driving nlonu n country
load when he was startled by a gun
shot from a wood close at hand.
"Don't shoot again!" ho yelled. "I'll i
surrender!" I
A man with a gun came forward
and began humbly to apologize.
" beg your pardon" he said.

DODGE BROTHERS
NEW CAR IN TULSA
Podge Brothers car has arrived! To
hundreds of Tulsa's motorists the
above message was tho signal for an
excited dash to the salesrooms of 10
Westermann local dealer for Dodge
Itrothers on Second street. Probably
never before In the history of the au-
tomobile has the advent of a new
motor car been awaited with Interest
equal to that shown by thousands of
automobillsU in all sections of the
country.
'In bringing out their new motor
car Dodge brothers wisely deter-
mined not to court an advance ap
peal" says Mr. Wcstcrmaiin. "No
whit of Information was to be in
dulged until Dodga Brothers' Idea of
a motor car stood complete lu every
detatl."
Dodge Brothers' new autoinohile Is
a real car In every particular. Freak-
ish design lias been carefully avoided
and the beautiful stream-line body is
combined with a iowerful 30-35 horse-
power motor to make an Ideal car
for five pansengers. Iteal leather up-
holstery and the latest type of self-
luhrlcattng -springs makes the car one
of the easiest riding machines that
has ever been marketed. Among: the
unusual features on the car Is the
speedometer drive which Is connected
directly to the transmission and is
therefore practically trouble proof.
The arrangement of the transmission
gears is also a novel one no gear ex-
cept the third being In operation when
a oar is driven on direct drive.

A washing machine for laundering
oily cotton waste was one of many
money-saving appliances that made a
profound impression on a party of
engineering students from the Uni-
versity of Kansas when they visited
the Jcffery automobile works last
week. The students wero in charge
of Dean P. F. Walker of the Me.
oharilcal Engineering department and
were visiting places of technical in-
terest in and around Chicago. The
tour included the Western Klcctrlo
company's plant at Hawthorne Il-
linois the generating and sub stations
of the Commonwealth Edison Com-
pany at Chicago the New Harris
Trust building the waterworks and
various railroad improvements in the
same city the big steel works at Gary
Indiana the automobile factory of the
Thomas li. Jeffery company at Ken-
osilia Wisconsin and the great dam
and power station at Keokuk Iowa.
Mr. DeCou told how waste of all
kinds has been avoided in the manu-
facture of Jeffery pleasure cars and
motor trucks. In the course of a two
years' Investigation all over tho
country he had picked up efficiency
ideas without which it would"" be im
possible to produce high-grade cars
ut a medium price.
Thus tho oily wasto Ik now launder
ed much of the oil is retrieved and
the consumption of waste has been
cut from over 1000 pounds to less
than 100 pounds a week. Tho waste
Is now used over again many times
before it has to be thrown away.

(My A. J. I'OLIN. U. H. Tiro Man.)
If your car Is not used during the
winter jack It up and remove the
tires from the rims. Go over youf
tires thoroughly and If they nro In
need of any repairs now is the time
to have them made.
Your repair man Is npt very busy
nt this season and can give spoelul
attention to such repairs.
If not in need of repairs and ready
to put away for the winter months
wash the casings carefully with soup

and water to remove all dirt oil or
grease.
Tires should be kept away from tho
lig-ht the temperature of the room
to he about ISO degrees as extremes

Before the tires are put back they
should be thoroughly cleaned and
any rust carefully removed; a coat of
shellac is also advised.
If the tires are to remain on tns
wheels for a considerable length of
time never let the weight of the car
rest upon them. Jack up the whels
and leave about five pounds of all-
in each tire. If the weight of tho
casings. ! car is left on the tires for a consider-
as this ! able time the tires are apt to flatten
out from standing too long on one
spot and consequently the tire is
weakened at that point.
