Jordan, president of a targe motor car company. Automobile clubs and various governmental agencies should get a large part of the credit for this because of the constructive work they are doing In the intelligent marking of our highways. Thousands of additional miles of, Improved roads are being made available each year. The.v are not only laid more scientifically than ever before, but they are properly drained and are hanked at the curves. Easily Read Signs. Now we find clear, easily read signs that warn of cross roads, curves, narrow bridges and steep hills as well as giving route numbers and general directions. The combination of good roads and Intelligent marking Is largely responsible for the tremendous Increase In touring. In some communities there la still room for improvement, bat we bsve advanced tremendously In the last ten years. Remove Speed Restrictions. The next forward step, according to Jordan, Is to remove speed restrictions In the open country, making arrests only for reckless or careless driving. This has already been done In csrtsin sections of the country and la those places, people can travel modi more rapidly from dty to city, with perfect safety. ftst with the steady, balanced car* of 4Uay, with four-wheel brakes, It to Jest aa safe to drive 50 miles an how OO our finely surfaced, weli-maried roads as It was to drive the old-faah> loned cars at 90 to 3.1 nnder modi mora -unfavorable road conditions. Work of Spark Plu« Described by Expert i&T B. RABKZZAMA Res earth Engineer.) Just what is a spark plug) Perhaps you'll understand the question better when you realise that the Brst automobiles sold In America •were not equipped with spark plugs. It rounds odd but It's a fact. In the original one-cylinder, Ignition, was Accomplished by a "hot-tube" which toad to be preheated usually with a blow torch by the motorist. This "hot-tube" was one of the chief causes of uncertainty in pioneer motoring. It was slow In reaching the right temperature, uncertain In Its functioning, Its use fraughl with difficulty end danger to the owner. The first spark plugs Introduced were surprisingly bad. The plug that actually did it? wrtrk was the rare ex? ception. ' In the intervening years ot automotive progress, spark plugs, like other component parts of the automobile, have been gradually developed and Improved to the end that they might be dependable, trouble-free and long-llfed. As a consequence, there are spark plugs today as nearly perfect as it is possible for men and machines to make them. But the function of the spark plug Is> the same today as always: to deliver an igniting spark to a charge of fuel at precisely the Instant when such a spark is needed to transform the fuel Into power.

AKLAND AMERICAN SIX OF 6RUBRAL Road Straddler Blocks Traffic on the Streets Traffic experts agree that the flow of traffic would be greatly speeded If motorists would select their line of travel either to the extreme left center of the extreme right of the road and stay .there, except when tliey have a chance to pass up other cars. Many drivers straddle the center, blocking others who would double up the tine. Since the left lane moves fastest the man In a hurry should get in there, while the slow driver should keep to the right. The road straddler gets along no faster, but simply blocks the progress of cars behind.

WILLIAM KIDD, perhaps ^ the most famous pirate of all time, was hanged at Wapping, England on May 23, 1701. Popular feeling, evidently sensing what was established as historical fact 200 years later--that an innocent man went to his death at Execution dock that day--Immediately made a martyr of him and he became the hero of a popular ballad which, like so many other ballads, grew and grew as each singer added his contribution to 1L There are known to be at least 24 stanzas to the ballad, and possibly more. It is a typical example of balladry and perhaps the most famous of all ballads In which a pirate Is the hero. Curiously enough William Kldd was always called Robert Kidd by the populace, and here Is a part ef the ballad as It was then sung: My same was Robert KI4A, when I sailed, when 1 sailed.
