The majority of the States and some fof the provinces commenced their "good {roads" effort by building the main roads {first.

In dthers, { where material was' scarce, there is still | {a very limited mileage and much re- mains' to be done, ! | Ontario has seriously lacked what others first undertook--a continuous system of main roads. The effect has been that motorists, in attempting long {journeys, have been discouraged with {the disconnected local roads of Ontario as compared with the long mileage of {main roads in the Eastern States.

WJ, ed Address CARRIAGE FACTO A ORILLIA, ONTARIO ---- : VanLuven's Garag /ORLD _ Ah, ALBERT L. CLOUGH Zditor iHotor Service Bureau Review' of Reviewd The Air-Bound Fuel-Tank I Liquid Won't Flow From The Bpigot, Uniess The Bung Is Loose NO GASOLINE can floy from the fuel tank to the vacuum-tank oF the carburetor unless air can freely enter the tank to take the place of the gasoline, and for this reason fuel tanks, other than those of the pressure type, must always be open to the atmosphere. A small y drilled 'through the filler-cap, is the usual provision for admitting aly bressure, although sometimes the gasoline gage is fitted loosely enough In the tank to give the required vent. If fit happens that the vemt-hole becomes stopped up, as may happen from mud splashing over the rear tank or dust collecting heavily upon ft, gasoline will cease to flow to the vacuum-tank as soon as the rarefaction produced by the flow from the tank equals that existing in the Intake-manifold and, in the case of » gravity main tank, it will cease very scon after the obstruction of the vent-hele. With the latter type of tank, located under the front seat, it sometimes happens that cloth or waste is accidentally placed over the filler cap /and is pressed down hard enough by the cushion and passengery to close the vent-hole enough at least to make the fuel flow uncertain-- possibly fo stop it entirely. One of 'the first things to make sure of, when fuel feed interruptions occur, is that the tank is "getting vent." UNSEATED INLET-VALVE in the base.
