PRINE VILL.E. Or . Aug. Con
struction of Crook county's roads is
going steadily on in spite of hot
weather, lack of rain and other ob
stacles. Koad camps are being
moved and established, contracts are
being let, and final plans perfecting
the road system are taking shape.
Six crewa consisting of to men are
' employed In construction work with
in the Ochoco National forest alone,
this summer. Work on the McKen-sie-Ocboco
highway and the Crook
ad river highway la being pushed to
completion.
The highway between Redmond
and Prinevtlle haa been graded and
graveled. Tho stretch between Red
mond and the MsKensie which is un
der contract for grading and gmvel-
tag will be finished thla year.
From Prinevllle to the Beave
Ranger station, a distance of 3
miles, the road Is partially graveled
It Is expected to have It completely
graveled by winter. From th
Beaver Ranger station to Mitchell,
the road la now under contract for
grading and graveling.
The McKensie-Ochoco highway is
expected to be completed within
few miles of the summit of the Cas
cads this year. The highway ex
tending to Florence beyond Eugene
connects with a highway leading to
the Pacific Ocea.
The Crooked River highway h
been graded to wtt-hln about one mile
of Post, about 40 miles from Prine
vllie. The county is at present ad
vertising for bids for construction of
a road extending Is milt from Post
to complete the road two miles past
the Reams schoolhouse which will
eliminate the Shot Gun hills.
Connection with the Bnd-Bitrns
highway Is assured by the state
agreeing to build from the mouth of
Beaver creek which Is SI miles from
Prinevllle. for 20 mllea south to con
nect with the highway somewhere
between Milltcan and Brothers. This
will give Prinevllle a direct route to
Burns. Additional help In graamg
the Crooked River highway was
promised by the highway commis
sion.
Kxteension of the market road
north in connection with Jefferson
county to connect with The Dalies
highway has not been decided upon
yet.
Maintenance of the Ochoco-Mc-
Kensie and Crooked River roads will
ba kept up by the state. The right
of way will be kept clear by pre
venting the dumping of trash, and
the erection of signs, which it has
been proved not only mar the
beauty of highways but divert dri
vers attention from the road thus
causing accidents.
Within the Ochoco forest, six road
erews are working. Two crewa are
working at Mill Creek, one at Rock
Creek between Mitchell and Day
vi;le. one at Canyon Creek between
Ochoco Ranger station and BSg Sum
mit Prairie and Paulina, and one at
the Snow Mountain district, work
ing between the HE. Wooley ranch
and the Allison Ranger station.
Further Improvements will be
made at 'Wild Wood" camp site lo
cated one mile from the summit on
the Mitchell fide. A fence around
the site win be completed soon.
-Wild Wood'- will afford an excel
lent place for community affairs of
both Priqevtlle and Mitchell, say lo
cal forestry officials.
The camp site established at Can
yon Creek will be improved next
year. The road between Prinevllle
and PauHna by Summit Prairie Is
open but not complete.

E. W. Stahl of the composing room
force of The Oregonian learned a
lesson last week In regard to spark
plugs which is well worth pasaing
on to other motorists. Here It .la:
Stahl. who drives a valve-in-head
motor wtth the spark plug entering
from the aide, decided to get a new
plug for one of the cylinders which
was missing In such a way as ta
make spark plug trouble evident.
He stopped at a garage and pur
chased a ping, stating what kind of
car he had and the make of plug
he wished, and purchasing a stand
ard plug. He put In the new plug
and started his car. Immediately
he heard a bad knock in the new
cylinder. Stopping tho ear and re
moving the spark Dlug and the
cylinder head he found that the new
plug had been a quarter of an Inch
too long and had extended Into the
cylinder chamber so far that It had
Jammed into th s'de of the piston
whan the piston came up on Its
stroke. The result waa one ruined
piston. The rngin had been stopped
soon enough, however, so that the
cylinder wall was not scored. Mr.
Stahl la pasalng his story along In
the hope that It may prevent some
one else having a similar experience.

FORD MAKIXO. OWN' GLASS
Radical Methods Are Employed in
Latent of Henry's Plants.
DETROIT. Aug. 6. The Ford Mo
or company has begun to manufact
ure Its own plate glass, and already
as In operation the first modern
glass house ever equipped especially
make glass for automobiles.
As is customary when taking over
he manufacture of a new product.
Ford has applied his own principles
of production, and. as a consequence.
he methods and machinery used in
making Ford glaaa are a radical de
parture from established practice.
The Ford continuous conveyor sys
tem features the operation so that
rora the time the glass leaves the
furnace until It becomes a polished
windshield It is always moving.
Glass-making, when viewed In the
Ford plant, looks to be very simple.
The raw materials are Introduced
Into the furnace, where they become
a molten mass. Drawn from the fur
nace In a semi-liquid atate. the glass
passes under a roller, which gives
it width and thickness, and onto a
moving conveyor. This carries it fot
464 feet through a gradually cooling
furnace. At the end it Is cut and
glared on another conveyor, which
carries It through the grinding and
polishing, after which it la ready
for ue.
This adds a new link to the fast
growing chain df Ford Industries
which are being established and ex
panded from time to time In line
with the Ford policy to achieve com
plete Independence of outside ma
terial sources in manufacturing Ford
products.

o. IS. Fighting Deprectatloa.
I waa quite surprised the other
morning to find Smith polishing ths
nickel on bis bumper. He has taken
reasonably good car of the car. but
I Hkd never seen him taking quite
such an Interest in its appearance.
"Going to a wedding?" I greeted
him.
"Trying to save my Investment.'
he explained. "I never saw anything
depreciate as quickly as a motor
car.
"That is because you have never
before owned atiything so useful.
retorted. "A piece of. furniture is
something to look at. and occasion
ally to use. ,An automobile gets the
roughest kind of use all the time
whether you run t or not. If ybu
use it constantly Old Man Friction
plays havoc wtth the working parts;
If you put It away in storage Old
Man Rusfhas his fling. But a car
that is run constantly and cared
for will outlast one that Is stored
away. You must remember, too,
that a motor car that Is used pro
duces tangible results: and because
It saves you money and enables you
to make money you can hardly w
pect the Investment to last forever.
By fighting this depreciation, how
ever. It is possible to make a car last
twice as lonif as the average."
"That'a why I'm doing a little
polishing." Smith replied. "Th trim
mings have been getting rusty of
late."
"Yes." I said, "and when you re
move the rust you.wlll probably find
that the nickel has been eaten away,
too." I pointed to-a place he had
just finished polishing as evidence.
"This Is Just a warning to get after
a lot of other things before It's too
late."
"I've, been polishing the body
regularly, if that's what you mean,"
Smith said.
"I see you have. That body looks
a lot better for it. But the paint
Isn't everything, I wonder what
valuation you would place on a car
If th owner offered it to you with a
cracked windshield, three curtain
fasteners missing, a bad dent in a
rear fender, the window light in the
back curtain broken, the floor mat
stained with grease, the bumper out
of line, one headlight bulb burned
out. a license plate loose, the
soeedrvmeter broken and valves out
of adjustment. You would hardly
care to buy such a car unless you
happened to be In the business of
snapping up used cars at a bargain.
If you did by any chance buy it you
would insist upon bargain terms.
Yet the actual cost of removing all
these evidences of depreciation
would amount to very little.
I stopped to point out several
things about Smith's car which
needed attention. The first was th
numbefof rust spots on tho fenders
and the aprons where they are
Joined to the running board. I had
told him how to remedy this by
means of a can of black enamel: o
he promised to touch up the abused
parts of the body as soon as he had
attended to a f"-w more Important
thrngs.
"Now'this fender." I said, indicat
hig two deep dents, "looks pretty
bad. The next time you are down
on Twefth street drive Into that re
pair shop. They'll pound out these
dents in no time. The car will look
decidedly better.
"This torn rain curtain can be
sewed In five minutes' time, so bear
that in mind when you pass a place
where they make tops and curtains.
Your horn sounds as though it was
singing Its swan song. You can
remedy this yourself by first remov
ing the cover and then turning the
adjusting screw at the end of the
horn motor shaft. One of your
spring bolt grease cups is gone. Of
course, you can get along without
It, but you can ward off a lot of de
preciation by paymgthe nominal
charge for new cups and screwing
them on. I could go on making a
lot more suggestions, but you see
what is needed."
"True enough," Smith replied.
The trouble Is It takes so much
time to keep things In order. I have
been trying to do a little at a time."
That s the only way to care for a
car, I agreed. Only be sure you
do that "little often enough.
Whereupon Smith began putting
his tools away. "Guess that's enough
for today." he said. "No one can
beat depreciation, but I'm going to
put up a stiff fight and see now
many mlles not necessarily years
I can get out of the ear."
The more I see of Smith as a
driver the more I am inclined to be
lieve that he will eventually be the
model motorist he wants to be. It
In the life of a car lubricated with Zero
lene, carbon-removing operations are less
frequently required. The reason is this:
Zerolene is made from carefully selected
crudes. These crudes are refined by our
patented vacuum process at compara
tively low temperatures, so that their
essential stability is preserved. The re
sulting lubricant has exceptionally high
heat-resisting qualities, and exceptionally
low carbon-forming tendencies.
The small amount of carbon which is
formed from the oil in the cylinders is of
a light, fluffy nature, which blows out
with the exhaust
You get a cleaner, sweeter-running en
gine when you lubricate with Zerolene.

feet high on the tableland of Mesa
