There is an old tradition that they tend to dry cows up when fed in large amounts.

A oonenergetlc feeling follows. Also during this kind of weather, the air doerf not contain an ordinary supply of oxygen.

Brandt, state highway commissioner of New vork. According to the report, 1925 contracts calling for the construction of 551.99 miles of pavement 18 feet or more in width were awarded, as compared with about 520.47 miles for the entire season of 1924. Contracts were awarded for 110.28 miles of grading, as compared with 20.82 miles for 1924, or a total increase of 112 miles. A letting Is now advertised for 59 miles of pavement and three mlle$ of grading, the award of which will give a total of 721 miles for the season of 1925, as compared with about 550 miles for 1924. t Fast Freight Highways as Great National Need Maj. Elihu Church, traffic engineer of the port of New York, is authority for the statement that this country will soon be gridironed by a great sys? A 1_ II U I. tern ot motor truun uue iiisiiwii.yB, which will revolutionize.present methods of transportation. He predicts that it Is only a question of time when special roads must be built for the exclusive use of food and freight carriers. Since this condition seems Inevitable, engineers urge that a system of i special motor truck highways be planned at once. Major Church also points out that such - highways, when properly built, will shorten the distance between cities and hills leveled so that a speed of 20 miles an hour or more can be maintained for long distances. oooooooooooooooooooooooooc Good Roads Facts ?ooooooooooooooooooooooooc The United States Is now credited with building the finest highways in the world. i The Joint board on interstate highways has designated 75,884 miles of road as United States highways. According to the commissioner of public works of Massachusetts the state pays the federal government from $5 to $10 for every dollar Massachusetts receives In federal road aid. It looks as If the most necessary things in this country are lower taxes j and better roads, and the problem is J WHEN IN NEED OF JO VARIED PROFESSIONS 1 There are bat few trades or profe women working In or at them.

Elihu Church, transportation engineer of the port of New York, in an address which he delivered at a meeting of the Metropolitan section of the Society of Automotive Engineers In New York city recently. These trunk highways will be toll roads, he said, and will be laid out with the same care as to grades and curves as the railroads. They will be lighted, will be provided with telephones , at frequent Intervals, and there will be a regular wrecking and repair service. Trailer trains and convoys or trucks will dp oisparcneu on regular schedules, largely as the army transport was handled In France during the war. Except where the roads enter cities on a second level above main railroads, they will pass around cities and towns as belt roads, so that the traffic on them will not pass through dense local traffic, and they will be carried over or under transverse roads. The necessity for such roads will grow out of the Increasing traffic congestion on the present highways and the Inadequacy of the present highways to accommodate the light, fast passenger vehicles and the slow, cumbersome motor trucks at the snme time. Congestion on Manhattan Island Is causing a loss of $500,000 a day. and the horse Is coming back, said Major Church. Seventy-three out of every hundred trucks in West street are horse drawn, because waits to load and unload at steamship and rail terminals are too long. A motor truck costs six cents a minute, whether It la moving or standing, and a trucking company charges by the hour and not by the miles traveled. Owing to congestion, the average speed of motor trucks on the Island Is only four miles an hour, and the avernge running time in an eight-hour day ,1s only threeffiours, the other five being spent In -waiting, loading and unloading.

There is a preventive for every 111 that cold weather brings to automobiles. Unfortunately, many owners do not realize that by taking ordinary care of their cars, they can save much trouble and expebse. One of the greatest lnconyenlences 1 is found In battery failure due to V cold. This Is caused by failure to prepare the battery for the extra load that zero weather Is bound to put I on It The battery should be kept fully charged and filled with water. After filling, the engine should be run for an hour .or so before being left out In the cold to Insure the acid and water becoming thoroughly mixed. Otherwise there 4s a chance of the fresh water remaining on top and freezing. A weekly Inspection of the battery In winter Is not too muetL The charging rate should be increased slightly to compensate for the extra load. Lightens Battery Work. The work of the battery can be lightened by using any of the winter gasoline, marketed by most oil companies. These fuels start easier than the ordinary gas used In the summer. The oil should be changed more frequently than in warm weather, to prevent crankcase dilution. This evil It caused by the sweating of a cold engine, which allowB moisture to gather Inside the cylinders and drain Into the ollv Dilution Is caused also by toe free use of the choke, which shoots raw gasoline into the cylinders. This gasoline finds Its way Into the crankcase and further thins th? oil. If too much water forms In the oil reservoir, It remains at the bottom of the crankease where the pump Is located, and may freeze, stalling the oiling sy? tem and resulting In serious damage to the engine. Antl-Freexe Mixtures. The anti freeze mixture In the radiator should be jrept at the propet proportions to prevent freezing. The solution drains away or Is lost from various causes, and must be renewed at regular Intervals. The experience of the service station should be utilized by every owner in preparing his car. for cold weather driving. The lubrication la the transmission should be lightened, the carburetor should be adjusted, the j engine oil should be changed and possibly a lighter grade used. These few precautions will keep the car op| eratlng at Its highest efficiency durI j i j 11 mu _ ? | nig coiu weauiei. inc wine iuuiw ! 1st will attend to these things. Cracks Permit Current Leakage in Spark Plus The most common trouble with spark plugs Is caused by cracked Insulators, which then allow of current leakage, causing a poor spark or none at all at the gap. Often one cannot tell by examining the outside whether the Insulator Is cracked, because the trouble may be In the hidden portion. The only safe way Is either to dismantle the plug If It Is not of the one-piece type, or test It by laying It on the cylinder head with the plug cable attached. Then by cranking the engine, the gap may be watched foi a good spark,. Cracks, except hidden ones, may at once be noticed If the I engine Is operating In a dark area; i sparks will be se?n on the outside ol j the Insulator.
