Georgia is al lowed 52 officers, the allocation being based oni population of military age. . Funds provided by Congress are suffieient this year to permit of or dering Out for training only a rela tively small proportion of the reserve officers and all of th'ese on the rolls were questionedl by mail some time ago, with a view to ascertaining which officers were desirous of taking the work and could conveniently do so. *Eighteen Feet For Paved Road. A minimum width of 18 feet fer hardi surface roads is recommended by the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agricul ture. according to information receiv 'ed by the state highway department. The maximum widlth of a truck body generally permitted is eight feet and 'five and one-half feet is tile ordinary clearance width of automobiles, the bureau of public roadis advises. *"At an average speed of 30 miles ~per hous it is unmreasonable to exp~ect the driver of an automnoile to dirive wiith his wheels closer- than one and~ one-half feet to tihe edlge of' tihe prve -mont. For trucks at an~ average speedi -of 15 miles an hour, tils disltanlce -should not be less thlan One and~ three fourths feet on account or tihe great width of the reamr wheels. Three feet seems to be0 a minimum safe clearance 'between bodies. Tro Get Gas Money. S. T. Carter, state treasurer, will distribute to tile counties b~y .iuiy 10 thleir portion of the gasoline tax. wvhich will be based on the three months' co1 l ection, March, April and May. The total collected is a little over $21d.019 and one-half goes to the counties for Toad purposes, based acordinlg to tihe ratia of the amount collected in the 'aounty. \teadman Goes Up. Capt.

Brick manufacturers and ropresen. tatives of the railroads were here in large numbers apsaring before the railroad commission in the hearing on the rates on brick in the state. Only intrastate rates were in question. The carriers attempting to get the commission to restore the rates as of July 11, 1921, which would increase the rates in South Carolina for hauls up to 75 miles and decrease them slightly for hauls over 76 miles. The interstate commerce commis sion has a hearing on the matter of discrimination in the rates from Au gusta to South Carolina points, this hearing 'being scheduled for July 19, but in the case. of South Carolina the commission restores the rates to the old schedule of July 11, 1921, the hear ing will not be held. The original com plaint was brought by Merry Brothers et al of Augusta before the interstate commerce commission. Practically all the South Carolina manufacturers are opposing this restoration. In case the commission restores the old rate, less the 10 per cent decrease ordered by the interstate commission on July 1, 1922, the rate in South Caro lina would be increased one-half of a cent on every hundred pound up to 75 miles and decreased from one-half a cent to one cent on every hundred pounds on longer than 75-mile hauls. If the old rate is re-established it would put Augusta shippers on a parn ity with South Carolina manufacturers. The commission also heard a num ber of ice manufacturers, who claim the rates on less than ca-rload lots of ice are too high. The minimum of $15 for carload lots was also protest ed against by the manufacturers. The carriers were also well represented. The commission took both the peti tions under advisement. Representing the railroads at the c brick rate hearing were: T. T. Massen- t gill, Seaboard, Norfolk; E. R. Gardner, Southern, Washington; J. W. Perrin, f Atlantic Coast Line, Wilmington; A. c M. Hlouston, C. & W. C., Augusta. t Representing the brick manufactur. I ers were: W. W. Taylor, Marion, G. 8 A. Guignard, Columbia; W .N. Ashe, 11 Van Wick; Thomas J. Burke, Charles- tl ton; C. D. Meadows, Gaffney, C. P. I Berry, Summerville; F. J. Fetzer, t Ninety-Six, and J. J. McMillan, Dyson, t Q Columbia Firm Withdraws Bid. The General Road and Drainage Construction company of Columbia, a withdrew its bid for the construction b of the Pacolet river bridge at Con- a verse, highway officials announced. s This firm had submitted the low bid r and would have been awarded the con- f tract, but the inability of the Spartan- r burg county authorities to sell the bonds and to make the necessary 11 nancial arrangements caused a consid erable delay and the withdrawal of the I bid. The company was relieved of all re sponsibility as the firm had already let I its bid stand beyond the date on which the contract was to have been awarded and duo to the advance in materials, especially on the concrete and steel, it felt that no further delay could be made. Prices on the materials have adva nced considerabmly since the bidr I were received May 10 and the materia complanies wvouldl not grant further time on their prices. The withdrawal of the bid by the Co- I lumbia firm wvill in all probability re. r sult in a re-advertisement for bids at t a future dale, it was indlicated. This will he done when Spartanburg gets e her financial matter straightened out..i ii Hot Weather Helps Crops. r Hot weather and scattered showers e have been generally benenicial to all r crops, according to the report for t South Carolina on crop conditions for v the week ending July 4, which report h; has been issued b~y Richard H. Sulli- ti van, meterologist,. His report in full follows. Hot weather and scattered show ers have been generally beneficial to Rll crops, which have made good prog ress, but mere rain is needled for early C rorn and gardens in many sections of the northern counties. Crop fields are generally clear of grass. Cotton has made material advance and has im p~roved in vigor and color; squares are forming rapidly in the northwestern rounties, andl the crop is lioonming freely elsewvhere; weetils continue nmu merous and active, with considlerabiet lamage in the southern half of the tate, especially where dlusting, spray- e Ing and insect picking havec not a been practicedl. Corn is also vigorous und in good condition generally. Ce real threshing continues with fair to ( good results generally, many oat Welds showing excellent yields.

MEANS TO PREVENT TROUBLE Most Essential That There Be Free Circulation of Water, Freedom From Scale and Strong Cur. rent of Cooled Air. I.very automobile owner or driver knows froni experience that a gas en ilne becomes hot after running for some time. This is due to the explo sions or rapid burning of the gas In side the cylinders. A large percentage of the heat de veloped in the cylinder goes to heat up the cylinder walls and if these !annot be cooled either by strong >lasts of air or water circulation tround them, they will become so hot hat they will crack and break apart >r at least become warped out of 1hape and become useless. By far he greater number of cars use what s known as the water-cooling system. How Water is Cooled. The water flows around the cylinder rails and then through piping and uhber hose connections into the radi tor where it is spread out in thin heets or small pipes which have an amense amount of surface exposed o the air. In this manner the water s cooled and then flows back to the ngine in order to keep it, also, cooled o the proper temperature. If any part of the cooling system aills to function properly, the cylin ers are not cooled and we say that he engine overheats. Water, as we now, cannot he hented above 212 de rces h'. without helng placed under ressure. Therefore, the water which ows airound the cylinder walls cannot e heated abiove this temperature. If he water is not kept slightly below his temperature, It will rapidly evap rate by boiling. If the engine is run *thout water in the water jacket the ylinder walls will be hented above Heir normal temperature, with the re ilt that the oil will he entirely urned oft the cylinder wall surface nd the l)in'f:n will begin to cut small lots lengthwise on the wall with the exult that often the engine will, in a ew minutes' time, be seriously dam ged. Necessary Conditions. In order that the coolIng system vork properly, we must have the fol awing cimill ions: 'lenty of water, free circulation of rater 1liroughout the entire system, reedoii frinu seale in the rdliator nil a strong eurrent of air passing onlinuously through the radiator to 'ol the water.

You Auto Kno*v That one of the chief causes of automobile fires, especially during cool weather, is "backfir ing," which, in turn, is due to the mixture not being sufliclent ly rich in gasoline. When the backfire occurs a sheet of flame leaps from the air intake of the carburetor, and if it strikes anything of an easily inflamma ble nature, a serious explosion or flame is likely to result. The collection of gasoline upon the drip-pan is one of the prin cipal dangers in this connection, for the gas vaporizes so rapidly that, if the pan is not properly drained or cleaned at regular intervals, there is almost certain to be a suficient mixture in the vicinity of the carburetor to cause trouble from backfire and the subsequent flame. The pre vention of this risk, of course, lies in the frequent use of the chok-or in starting during cold weatYier, and also in keeping the drip-pan and the carburetor well cleaned, although fires have also been known to start from back firing igniting pools of oil or grease on the floor of a garage.

The doors of many automobile bodies, particularly the light cars, loosen up after considerable running, and cause a disagreeable rattle. Itib her-head nails, or strips of rubber cut from inner tubes, are frequently used to take up the play between the door and frame. A method that is more effective and requires a minimum of HINGE0 BENT TO BIR KL CF GEoE4LOSING LEATHCR A Simple Remedy for the Rattling of Automobile Doors Is to Bend the Hinges Slightly. work is that of hending the hinge, as shown, using a wrench with a pad be tween the jaws to prevent marring the paint.
