nccordlng to William A. Hrush chnlr-
cian of the good ronds' committee of

Because of the tremendous growth
In commerclnl trafllc on tho highways
the road builders must soon look

that ou highways arc Inadequate ns
now constructed sold Mr. Hrush.
Even our most substantial roads
showed the effects of this additional
trafllcj nnd tho xuoro cheaply built
thoroughfares began to deteriorate
rapidly In fact so fast that It was
necessary for highway ofllclnls to ex-
ercise their rights under the stnto
laws and limit the weight of loads.
The highways we have been build-
Ins In-recent years even tho perma-
nent types are not heavy enough to
carry the ever Increasing commerclnl
traffic. Knglneers realize now that
tho roads must be considerably thick-
er than nt present nnd thnt they must
'bo wider "to give room for the addi-
tional vehicles being plnced In service.
Another phase of tho commerclnl
traffic problem Is thnt of tiro equip-
ment. It Is going to bo necessary to
equip nil trucks with pncumntlcs
eventually In order thnt tho highways
mny be protected ns much as possible.
The pneumntlc tiro gets away from
tho constnnt pounding thnt Is evident
with solid tires. They absorb the
thock no matter how minute nnd
thereby snvo the pavement from the
pounding of the heavy load nnd glvo
longer life to tho mechnntsm of the
Tehlcle. '
Experience Is the only teacher nnd
experience hos shown to all tho big
road engineers of tho country tho fol-
ly of building n good rond too light.
The surfaces must ho thicker In order
to stand the shock of tho heavy loads
passing over them.
MUCH CRUSHED ROCK NEEDED
Proaram for. Road Building In Minne-
sota Calls for 667000 Tons
Cf Material.
The proposed road-bulldlng program
In Mlnnesotn this year will rcqulro
nbout 007000 tons of crushed rock or
gravel or nearly 20000 carloads of ag-
gregate according to Information se-
cured by the bureau of public roads.
United States department of agricul-
ture. The figures glvo spine Idea of
the magnitude of . the road-bulldlng
program now1 being carried on In many
Motes. Largely on account of a short-
ago of crushed stono or grnvel GS
miles of road which were to have been
built In 1010 werp not completed
Theso ronds are to bo completed this
year while nbout ISO miles of new
construction requiring crushed rock or
gravel have been authorized. This
mnkfci a mileage of 220 scheduled for
1020.
EQUALIZING COST OF ROADS
States Which Have Constructed High-
ways Should Be Given Credit
for Improvements.
In some of the states where high-
way construction has been a pnrt of
the stnto policy for a period of years
much work has been done on high-
ways which would naturally become
a pnrt' of tho national' system. It Is
proposed that In theso cases states or
counties should be allowed compen-
sation which will glvo other highway
mileage equal In value to that con-
structed. Such highways would not
be maintained by tho government but
would he turned over to the state
while tho government undertook the
cost of maintenance of thonatlonnl
system.
Register Wear on Material.

tory of the engineering experiment

Roads that will not be of any service
when tho bonds that pay for them
have matured represent liabilities In-
stead of assets. Such costly waste

ENGINE FOREVER
BLOWS BUBBLES
Not Condensation of Gas fcs
Owner Thinks but Lack of
Vaporization.
LABORATORY TESTS AJ AMES
Established ThafCarburetor Does Not
Vaporize Gasoline but Mixes It
With Air Adds to Tendency of
Engine to Make Carbon.
If the motorcnr owner could watch
tho flow of gasoline from tho enrburc-
tor Into tho Intake manifold ho would
discover that his car as one of tho
ditties of the day harmonizes It Is
"forever blowing bubbles." He would
find thnt what ho thinks Is condensa-
tion of gnsollne Is not condensation nt
all but lack of vaporization.
Tho steam carburetor has n vital re-
lation tp this "blowing of bubbles" In
the gasoline Intake manifold and It en-
ables tho Intake manifold to accom-
plish n complete vaporlzHtlon of the
gnsollne eliminating whnt tho owner
thinks Is condensation of gnsollne.
The steam carburetor put to- test at
Ames la. agricultural college re-
vealed there seemingly Is no such no-
tion ns condcnsallgn of gasoline In tho
Intnkc manifold.
Mere'ly Mixes Gas With Air.
Theso laboratory tests mado byl
Ames engineers established that the
carburetor does not vaporize tho gaso-
line. All It'doos Is mix the gasoline
with nlr. This mixture then passes
Into the Intnke mnnjfold. (
In Hie center of this stream -as It
posses Into the manifold the engineers
observed a Mulsh cloud-like vnpor.
while to ench side of this was gaso-
line In sprayed form.
The gasoline sprays nt each side of
.the bluo vapor cloud were drawn to-
ward tho cylinders by the suction of
tho motor. As they passed In they
presently struck against the wall of
the Intuke manifold. At this point
the sprays turned Into tiny globules
of gasollno or nlr In other words
Into bubbles. Theso bubbles clung to
tlt wall of ...o manifold finally being
drawn Into tho explosion chambers In
that form.
Waste of Fuel.
This bubble formation of tho gnso-
llne represents tho nverngQ owner's
wnsto of fuel. It Also ndds to tho
tendency of the motor to make carbon.
The steam carburetor shoots hot'
live steam Into tho manifold Just
above the carburetor proper nnd this
steam eliminates the bubble formation
of gasollno nnd converts all the gas-
6ltne Into vapor form.
HOOD OF CAR DULLS QUICKLY
Best Plan to Wipe Bonnet Off Care-
fully After Drive Through Rain
to Hold Finish.
Because of tho extremes of tempera-
ture to which It Is subjected tho hood
of a car dulls quickly. Hence It Is
well to wlpo oft tho hood cwefully
after n run In the rain because mois-
ture dries rapidly on the bonnet and
usually spots It ruining tho fine finish
In time.
USING OLD LUBRICATING OIL
Filters Render Material Useful for
Cups and Other External Lubri-
cating Purposes.
Lubricating oil that has been used
through an engine until It Is dirty
need not be thrown away. Thcro aro
filters to be had which will clean tho
oil and permit of Its being used for
oil cups and other external lubrica-
tion purposes.

Sano driving means safe nnd eco-
nomical driving.
Do not follow another vehlclo too
closely. It might stop suddenly.
Allow tho clutch to cngngo easily
stop gradually apply tho brakes Inter-
mittently. A cowl squeak may often bo traced
to n speedometer shaft which neds
lubrication.
Few owners examine tho frarao for
loose rivets yet these often shake looso
and fall out.
Look over your Instruction book nnd
become acquainted with all adjust-
ments for wear.
Tho best way to avoid troublo when
touring Is to "Look out for tho other
fellow on tho road."
Tires ought to receive more than
tho usual attention because of the In-
creased cost this year.
Drive more carefully over rough
roads. Do not speed on any kind of
a road especially a rough one.
Keep tho carburetor adjusted at the
leanest possible mixture a lean mix-
ture reduces carbon deposits.

Most car owners know that tho use
of felt washers under tho Iron wash-
ers In certain Instances Is a useful
Idea. .
