Of course tho buyer receives n cor-

school and n longer course In auto-
motive mechanic. Tbla will be tlmo
ii rid money well spent In tbe long run.
At any rate he should take the
instruction book Hint cornea with hi
cur and linrn It by heart. A good
deal of It will be Greek to him and
It will be necessary to consult nn ex-
pert to get nn explanation of till
technical Information and make It
somewhat understandable. This bonk
should be reverenced next to the Illhle.
It Is Indispensable.
Doubtless the owner will find that
the manufacturer bus for Instance
given certain Instruction concerning
lubrication perhaps has specified cer-
tain kinds of lubricants. Now no
mutter how much you mny know
nbout the subject of lubrication rest
assured that the manufacturer has
had nn engineer study out the lubri-
cation of his car und what be writes
concerning it Is the Inst word and
It should be followed Implicitly.
Service Depends on Care.
The same thing Is true us to tire
brakes or steering gear or uny other
part of the mechanism.
The owner whether ho possesses n
lotv-prhed enr or an edition do luxe
has about as much money tied up hi
his auto as ho feels he cun deote to
tliuj particular form of pleasure or to
business. It Is un ln eminent which
Will or will not bring commensurate
returns In money or moments well
.spent. It can be made an Indlspcusu-
Tile aid to both business mid pleasure
or It mny become nn Insufferable nul-
xunce. Tim nctunl valuu of u car
depends not so much upon the amount
t the purchase price as upon what
can be gotten out of It; Its sen Ice Its
dependability and general reliability ;
that and the low cost of upkeep and
operation.
It Is reasonable therefore for the
owner to gle ns miK.li thought anil
study to the machine which propels
It 1 id nnd his merchandise as to tho
machine In the fuctory which pro-
duces tbe merchandise. He ought to
understand how and why and where-
fore It propols him or why not.

propriated by congress has been put.
Up to December 31 5212077240 hnd
been put to work In project either en
tlrely complete or under construction
To match that amount the stntes ap
proprlated $28.1370312 making a total
of $41)7-I5055S.
If placed end to end the roads. to br
paid for by this money would encircle
the earth at tbe equator and extend as
far as from New York to Sun Fran-
cisco on tho second lap. The total
mileage of roads under construction
and-' completed tbe department's rec-
ords show was approxlmntely 27000
miles. Of this milage 0555 miles was
In projects entirely completed. The
balance of 174-15 miles was In projects
which were still under construction
but reported 00 per cent complete Oc-
tober 31. In those projects there was
the equUalcnt of 12000 miles of com
pleted roads so that the completed
road to date was mora than 21000
mile or nearly enough to encircle
tho globe.
Trior to fie jears ago the federal
go eminent took no active part In the
road construction of the country. To-
day about one-hnlf of nil roads under
construction are being aided financial-
ly by the federal government and tho
construction is subject to inspection
add approval of federal engineers.
APPROVE HIGHWAY PROJECTS
According to Announcement of Bu-
reau Every Type of Construction
Is Represented.
Nlnety-threo road construction proj
ect In 28 states wcro approved fot

reau of public rouds United States
Department of Agriculture according
to n compilation Just made public.
Virtually every tjpo of construction Is
represented In the approved projects.
The states In which these projects
wero approved nnd the number of
projects approved In each state fol-
low: Alabama 3; Arkansas 3; Cali-
fornia 2 ; Colorado 1 ; Klorldu 1 ;
Idaho 1; Kansas 8; Maryland S;

The longest stnglo stretch of roadway
approved In one project during the
month was an earth road In Calhoun
county Mississippi 35 3 miles Jong;
the shortest 0 0 mile was a brick
road In Slurk county Ohio.
GOOD USE FOR SUBSTITUTES
Gravel and Macadam Can Be Em-
ployed Until More Durable Type
of Road Is Built.
It will require several jears for tho
United States to curry out tho plans
for u comprehensive hj Etem of hard-
lurfneed hlgliwuvs. Until such tlmo
as the main hlghwu)H cun be built of
tbe durablu Opt' gruvel nnd macadam
may lie used as substitutes but what
the whole country wants and demands
are real houest-to goodness good roads.
One of Largest Industries.

Is one of the nation's largest Indus-
tries a million men being employed
last jear throughout the construction
season at building or repairing the
country's lilghwavs.
Asphalt Streets In Majority.
Virtually 01 per cent of nil the mu-
nicipal streets In the United Stntes
have an asphalt top. As a consequence
of heavy truck t raffle many of these
streets nre beginning to show serious
evidences of disintegration.

npiIB Standard Oil compnny has
found u wu to utilize all tho
residue from tbe dlstlllutlon of pe-
troleum. Gasoline now one of the
ihlef products of the concern vvus once
u by-product. All the coiil tur de-
rivatives from which iimny drugs und
medicines are made nre by-products.
So are parullln ouidles und hundreds
of other articles In every day use.
The Standard Oil compnny Is n big
concern. It has thousands of tech-
nically trnlned experts nt work for It.
It has plants all over the world the
biggest plunts of tbe kind In existence.
Such nn Institution cun well afford
to go Into the business of making by-
products nnd to expend u part of Its
almost limitless energies In getting
all time Is possible out of the crude oil
which flow 8 from Its wells.
But the business of developing by-
products Is for n corporation nnd n
big one not for nn Individual.
You may funcy that jou can throw
off bj -products easily ns you do jour
dull work. You may believe If you
are a bookkeeper that by spending
n few nights writing moving picture
scenario 011 will be nble to utilize all
our brilns. Instead ot part of them.
If ou are n joung professional man
with little to do you may Imagine that
you can take up novel writing or lut-
ing or brldgo plajlng as a side line
anil thus get rich while you are wait
Ing for success In jour profession.
It Is possible Hint jou will get rich
nt one or the other of these thing
But If " " do It will be because jou
have dro.iped jour profession nnd de-
voted yourself to the by-product.
Anthony Hope who wrote "The
Prisoner of Zondu" was trained as n
barrister hut he had no briefs und
wrote stories to while nwny the hour
he was vvnlttng for client. Ho suc-
ceeded as a novelist because he was
born to write but he stopped being n
lavvjer as soon us bis first book wns
published.
In this world n man enn learn to do
one thing fairly well. The tlmo be has
Is better spent on that one thing. Be-
gin to scout around for by-products
of your brain nnd jou will soon so
scatter jour energies that jou do noth-
ing well.
If jou want to write "movie" sce-
narios write em but don't try to keep
a set of books at the same time. It-
can't be done. The expert accountants
who nre making big wnges today were
nil satisfied to spend all their spare
tlmo learning how to keep books
better.

TN A recent newspaper Interview
Charles M Schwab onu of tho
notable leaders In the steel Industry
In which he began as a boy of seven-
teen forty-one jears ago sold "I
nould rather lose money month after
month In mj; plnnt than make It by
any but the highest methods In the
world."
Mr. Schwab went to work to learn
the business and he learned It thor-
oughly by mastering every detail as
he proceeded scorning a tired back
and soiled hands.
He credits his rise to loyalty to
his employer und stntes that success
came from constant application to tho
subject In view.
Hero In n few simple word for
those who will take time to read will
bo found the formula for the attain-
ment of success.
And here too Is embodied the rulo
which every person must accept as
his own a hard and fast law ns Hint
of the Modes nnd Persians unfailing
In results nnd bounteous In rewurd.
Let the Indifferent young man nnd
woman Inclined to grumble and shirk
duty ponder the wonderful meaning of
"highest methods" nnd "lojnlty to cm-
plnj er." 1
Tbe five words mny be likened to
binges upon which the grent door of
success swings wide open nt the un-
relenting push of the hand and brain
that refuse to be denied entrunco.
Whenever jou go to work In sombre
dajs remember that thero Is within
you n force which If properly upplled
will enable jou to open this same door
nnd tnke your place among the leaders.
And thl force must bo called up
by jou nlone.
Nobody else can do It for jou.
Huve faith In jourself. Have nn
fear for fear Is the rock on which
humans full and go tumbling into the
"alley of despair.
No man or woman with fenr In the
heart Is capable of clear discernment
sure Judgment or superior accomplish-
ment. Keep your mind on the great and
splendid achievements of others and
those jou want to do jourself. Bo
lojul and hold steadfastly to highest
methods. 
Preserve nn nttltude of courage
courteousness and good cheer.
Avoid the malcontents the grum-
blers the Bulkcrs and shirker the
makers c wry faces and tbe provok-
ers of quarrels.
Keep on the high road nnd In tho
sunshine.
Move straight In the right direction
nnd sonic morning jou will find that
success nnd honor are speeding to-
wnrds jou 'with open arms.

TOO 3IUC3I PROFANITY
H-iOO often cussing Is tnken ns a
matter of course. Men In high
positions are frequently expert In tho
use of profane words nnd the Influ-
ence of bnd language has 0 bnd effect
on both the old nnd the young.
Much effort 1 being mnde to In-
crease tho uso of better Kngllsh nnd
nlong with this propaganda It would
be well to preach considerable against
the use of bad language.
Directly cussing unless the nnme of
the Master Is taken In vnln mny cause
no great damage. But Indirectly It does
much bnrm. When the little folk hear
their parents swearing their respect
for their elders Is either lessened or
else the youngsters begin using It
themselves as n matter of course. Not
Infrequently we hear little shavers
hardly able to speak plainly using
language which would put many men
und women to shame.
Pike county Kentucky recently
honored tho memory of Its oldest citi-
zen Jesse B. Osborne. Much wns said
In prntso of this departed citizen who
crossed the bar nt tho nge of ninety-
two jenrs nnd no louder praise was
hoard than of his reputation for never
having permitted u profane word to
pass from his lips.
Judging from this event one might
assume that profanity Is the rulo rather
than tho exception. If this Is tho case
Isn't It nbout time to cnll a hnlt? The
old remedy considered quite effective
for curing profnne habits wns to wash
tho boy's mouth with soap. But from
our observation wo nre Inclined to bo-
llevo that It would ho unfnlr to uso
such n remedy to stop youths from
cussing. The cnuso too frequently
rests with the parents who worry nnd
complain because their offspring are
devilish nnd almost beyond their con-
trol. A general mouth-w ashing of the
elders probably would have grenter
effect
Profano language Is not beautiful.
It does no good. It may be the step-
ping stone to lives of (rime which end
In prison cells. For onco the bars are
lowered against small wrongs the big-
ger wrongs nre certain to be lurking
near nnd crawl Into one's life.
Less profanity would ndd to tbe Joy
ot tht world.
