iPHfflwr Vt w " ' i ' JJVTwt '-."V-" 4 . ll , '& GOOD ROADS i BUILDING MANY NEW TRAILS To Assist In Construction of Highways Federal Fund of $64,533,019 Has Been Approved. (Prepared by the United Btates Depart ment of Agriculture.) Between 0,000 and 10,000 miles of the morked trails which now criss cross tho country from cast to west nnd north to south nro to be con structed by fcdernl old. This amount Is composed of 850 projects, which form links In one or the other of the 24 narked trolls which have been laid out by private associations. Every nutomoblllst Is familiar with the Dlx9 highway, the Mohawk trail, tho Iioosevelt highway, and n score of other marked trails, which arc so well built and maintained that driving on them Is a Joy nnd comfort. To assist In building these highways n federal fund of $01,533,010 had been approved by the. bureau of public roods of the United States Department of Agricul ture up to September 30, 1020. These trails do not constitute an en tirely satisfactory system of transcon tinental roads, ns ofllclnls of the de partment say their kclectlon In many cases has been Inllucnccd too much by such factors as pre-existing conditions, promise of Improvement by local communities, pressure of selfish Influ ence, and a deslro to touch points of scenic and historical Interest, The extent to which fcdernl aid lias "been applied to tho trails varies In the different stntcs. Nnturally the West ern states nro using much more of their federal apportionments In de veloping roads of this character than the Knstern states. This Is due to the fact that the trolls In the Eastern states had ulrendy been Improved to n largo extent before the roads were se lected by tho pathfinders. This was not true In the West, where long stretches of the selected roads were still In nn unimproved condition when they were designated. Nevada leads in Its use of federal funds on roads of this character. ;wiv. A Trail Through the Mountains in Nevada. Elghty-thrco per cent of Its entire mileage of approved fedcral-nld roads lies on one or the other of the trails which cross the state On .these roads Nevada will spend 00 per cent of tho federal money which has been granted to her. DRIVERS CAN ASSIST ROADS In Going Up Hill, Particularly One Paved With Concrete) Right Side l Favored. "Dt'vcrs enn do as much, almost, for the maintenance of good road as highway engineers," declares Alfred F. Masury. "Did you ever notice," asked Mr. Unsur, "In going up a hill, particular ly one paved with asphaltlc concrete, that the surface on the rlgh-hand side of the, road Is wavy nnd rough, while that on the left-hand side Is smooth? "Well, the reason is this: Tho ex tra traction required to climb the hill wears and tears the surface, while there Is little or no traction down hill. "Another thing, the right-hand track of the road In either direction Is the ono which Is worn most. This Is be cause of the arched surface of the road which throws the greater weight nnd strain on the right-hand side of tho vehicle and consequently the right- hand side of the roadway. Truck builders and wagon makers have even ndjustcd their axles and springs so as to withstand the greater strain on the right-haud side of the vehicle. Prices Must Decrease. Itoad materials must go down In prlco or the hard rood building pro gram will be discontinued, according to Gov. Len Small ot Illinois. Poor Road Cause Lois. Bad roads keep you from marketing your products when tho market Is right. Heavy Trucks Restricted. Motortrucks heavier than three tons are restricted from travel on first das roads In British Malaysia. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THE JOB AND THE MAN By F. A.

The landlords find that women mnke better rent collectors than men, that they get closer to tho tennnts, and that they promoto n better undcr stnndlng between the pnrtles to tho renting business. Itent collecting Is not n mcro turn ing up at the first of the month with the demand for the rent. It Is to the Interest of the landlord that tho- houses he owns ho properly run nnd kept up. Unit undeslrublo tenants be ejected, nnd Hint the right kind get right trcntment. Women nro good at getting results In these directions. It Is usually the woman of tho apartment who pnys tho rent; It Is sho who hns complaints to mnko or nlterntlons to demand. And she speaks more freely to another woman, and the other woman understands better the usual problems of housekeeping. It works well both ways. A rent collector Is In a position to know more tliun most persons about vacant apartments, vnrlous types of renters, possibilities of development, bargains. There are really flno busi ness opportunities In this Hue, und women should study them. Ilenry llama of St. Paul, Minn., vis ited Vienna ten .years ngo, when, as ho said, there was "grent fun" here.

CALCIUM CHLORIDE IS CHEAP It Should De Carefully Tested at It Frequently Contains Impurities and Free Acids Alcohol la Somewhat Expensive. There nro two popular ond easily sbtatned nnttfrcezlng substnnces jvhlch when used In proper propor ions will prevent tho radiator con :cnts from suffering damage during :oid weather, according to Ernest Colcr In Motor Life. Tho tlrst of these a cnlclum chlorldo, the other alcohol. Calcium chlorldo comes In tho form Df a salt, and Is sold under Its own inmo ns well ns under vnrlous pro prietory names which usually Indlcnto Its freezeprootlng quality. When pur chased In tho open market cnlclum :hlorhlo Is chenpest ns well ns most uncertain; It should bo tested enrc fully, since It frequently contnlns Im purities nnd free nclds which attack aluminum ns well as tho inetnl nnd older of radiators. Iljuo litmus paper, when moistened with n cnlclum chlo ride solution containing nclds will turn pink. The snlt may be neutralized by tho addition of sodn nsh or am- monln until tho litmus paper no longer turns pink. Amount to Use. The amount of calcium chlorldo to bo used In tho cooling system depends on tho temperatures likely to bo en countered nnd tho cnpaclty of tho radiator. Two pounds of cnlclum chlorldo added to ench gallon of wn ter will keep tho mixture from freezing at temperatures not lower than 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Threo pounds per gnlfon will withstand n tempcroturo ns low ns two and n half ilegrees Fahrenheit. Four pounds of cnlclum chlorldo In ench gallon of wn ter will not freeze nt 10 degrees below zero. Tho cnlclum chlorldo should bo dis solved In hot water, and care should be exercised that none of tho mixture Is spilled over the radiator or other parts on which It Is apt to leovo a lomowhat unsightly whlto deposit. Whatever It lost of tho mixture by evaporation should ho replenished from n snttirotcd solution of cnlclum chloride In wntcr. Such snttirotcd bo lutlon Is mado up by adding tho snlt to hot water until tho liquid refuses to dlssolvo more of tho snlt and n Inycr of undissolved calcium chloride remains nt tho bottom of tho container. Cleaning Essential. A point of great importance U lo clenn the radiator thoroughly before rendering It frceze-proof with cnlclum chloride solution. This cleaning Is pcrhnps most competently dono by ono of tho radiator clenntng compounds lold by dealers. Tho cleaning Itself lerves a twofold purpose. It frees tho radtntor from accumulated rust, ncalo tnd dirt, and Incidentally Is apt to open tiny leaks which previous to tho cleaning were kept closed by dirt If tho cleaning were neglected tho cal cium chloride solution would open these small leaks In short order, tho lolutlon, leaking out, would render the ipot unsightly, and a certain chemical ictlon would bo set up at the mixture's exit. All this Is nvolded, however, If tho radiator Is cleaned out and nil leaks ore repaired before tho cooling system Is filled with antlfrcezlng solu tion. Dennturcd alcohol, enjoys well-deserved popularity with motorists who during cold weather render their radia tors and engine Jackets immuno to damage by adding alcohol to tho wa ter. The advantages of alcohol ore that It docs not have nny destructive action on rubber connections or on metal, that It will not form deposits of foreign matter and produces no electrolytic effects. The drnwhncks of alcohol If they may bo called such are, that It Is somewhat expensive, and that It bolls at lower temperatures thnn water, and must therefore be re plenished from tlmo to time.
