CYCLING & MOTORING. 'I Ä b,.J,ii_¡On fiaxe: en Road I ?. C.Traffit. SN''n.7 ,Zst-d. II A journal devoted to the interests of i nio'eyel iiig has raised its plaintive voice 0:1 behalf of a new tax upon cyclistg-c, course, like, the oft-quoted baby, tt be j quite a little one. Illru- cily argument it can adrance is the two blacks make one white." Because motorists and motor- cyclists pay a tax cyclists should be made to do the same. They use the But why not extend the principle? Farmers use the road: why should not fanners' carts pay? Tradesmen use the roads; why ,Iloul"qll t' butcher be made to pay tor his CHt? Pedestrians use the roads; why shouldn't they pay for walking? Y un have only got to earrv the thing through logieallv to see. its folly and iiriTwedi- bility. The real ren)cclr is*iiot the whining, girding attack on other people, but to ntritafe for the-removal of the motor taxes. These are all wrong in principle. Years ago we abolished tolls because it was found tin ("Coll Diriie to have any tax "upon means of communication between-one prirt of the country and another. The motor tnxr-s have been an attempt to revert to the bad old toll system under another name. THE REAL REMEDY. The real remedy is for motorists -tnd motor-cyclists to join hands irith cyclists and work for the whole charge cii road mo 1 Hen a nee IQ be H ma!f c'i:?r!?. It:" bad in every ?ay tht road m?intpnance 11OUld bo thrown en !oca! rates. A poor or unprogreasive district m?y possess roa(l largely used by the general public. It is unfair that the often comparatively poor agricultural districts which adjoin the industrial contres should have to bear the whole burden of repairing roads largely used by the industrial inhabi- tants. The burden falls OIl the fihoul- least able to bear it. A ehort- sighted man eaya at once, tax tho road user.?..

If the roads arc main- taincd by tho State the burden wiH fall i i its ri?ht prcporticns on all. Moreover, tLC'e ".m be a uniform standard of read maintenance. .RELICS OF THE PAST. The taxes on motorists are relics of the days when motor-ears and motor cycles were a luxury. Every year now motor j trcct-ion is becoming more general, and tho tendency should he to remove all ob- stacles in its way. The arguments against motor taxatien are identical with those which cyclists have advanced for the last HO years whenever a tax on cycles has been piopesed, and I would strongly advise all motorists to tako a leal from the cyclists' book and direct their energies towards the remission of their own burdens. To add burdens to the Ehonlders of others—many of them poor people working hard for a living—will not lighten the motorists' bur- den in the slightest degree. MOTOR-CYCLING. A few weeks ago I was riding along one of the roughest bits of roads in Yorkshire i —and I should think in England—when I had tho misfortune to snap my petrol pipe. I was miles from anywhere. Hap- pily the pipe had broken some distance away from the unions, and thus it was not nearly so serious a matter as had it been (I Lli'C near to either. It wasn't long be. .ii-,d made a good repair. First of all. I slipped » piece of rubber tubing—a gi-uil I piece off tho ncetylejie tubing was lU I had-oa to the two ends. I then wrapped a few strips torn from my band. kc-,cliief roun(I t i i,,i kci chief round the rubber, finally lashing tin whole firmly together with string. An -¡¡¡¡.), excellent repair can be made in this i not a permanent one, cf course, hut enough to get home or to a garage. If a piece of soap b., handy-it v.Üsn't in my case—it should be rubbed well over the ill ell, as this makes the job more lasting. FOUR CYLINDER MOTOR CYCLES. Writing in a contemporary, a well known motor-cyclist puts in a very strong plea for the four cylinder machine. Per- sonally. I have never ridden one, but none the lees it is interesting to bear what one eays who has experimented with this form. In the early days of motoring cars with eingle cylinders and twin engines ivero common. Nowadays, however, they are rarely e0::1, and the four-cylinder reigns supreme. One may well ask whether the motor-cycle engines arc likely to follow the some course of evol ution. So far ai British manufac- turers are concerned, the fniir-eylinder motor-cycle baa received very little attcn- ?tioii, though in the early days there were a few attempts to introduce it. Abroad, however, this type has been brought to a very high state, of perfection, and m«7iy British riders have become enthusiastic over tho machines that have been im- ported. This being :'10. 1 think that many j motor-cyclists would he pleaded if eOffie of tho best known British manufacturers, when tho war is over, would place four- eylindor side-car machines on tho market. Their chief advantage, of cour^se, is the even torque, which lakeg them light on tyres and transmission. But, in addition, the fvar-eylinder engine is usually more flexible than a twin, is easier to start, and retains its tune longer than 6ingles and twins. The objection ne-rally urged C.gainst it is that; it is complicated; but in practice this is proved to be no dis- advantage. It is not very long since the came thing was said about twins, but to- day .every motor cyclist realises that the two cylinder engine is quite as reliable as tho single. MOTOR-CYCLE WEIGHTS. During the past few seasons there has been a tendency greatly to increase the weight of the average motor-cycle. This increase is accounted for by several fac- tors. Tyres nro larger, tho frame is more strongly built,, and fittings all round have increased in weight. A chain-driven machine, and one fitted with a gear-box, is much heavier than, one of the older types of machine. This ten- dency too. appears to be that weights will ri (', end if so it can have but one result. The higher-powered motor cycles will be used exclusively for r,idecor work, whereas solo riders will eelect light-engined machines; henco it is hrJpÐd that makers will carefully consider the question. The demand for light-weights will probably be heavier than ever in the future, while the heavy, high-powered machin-e will only have a. limited sale THE WAY TO DESCEND A HILL.

CAPT. FRYATT'S WIDOW. The Board of Trade has recommended an additional pension of £100 to Mrci. Fryatfc and her family, over and above what they were entitled to under the Government pension- scheme, and the -■ directors of the Great Eastern Railway s have intimated that a sum equal to Capt. Fryatt's salary would be paid to the widow for life.

-=- FIGHTING A PLAGUE. < Important measures for combating thti hidden plague are under consideration. The Home Secretary has given notice of a Bill to be laid before the Iforeo of Commons at an early date which will pro- vide among other things: (1) That anyone who knowingly com- municates venereal disease to another pereon shall lie guilty of a criminal off- ence, liable to heavy punishment. (2) For the suppression of a large class of objectionable advertisements. It is probable that a further clause will raise the age of consent from sixteen tc seventeen years, but this is still undeter- mined.

toll whether the clItlw is *!Tt old hand of whether lie is little more than a learner. The art in descending a hill lies chiefly in the right use 01 the clutch and brake. But there is mcro in it than this. On a gentle down ward slope I like to keep the clutch in (on top gear, of course) and my foot just tickling the aecel-erator. Down. a moderate slope I declutch and allow the car to coast: before the clutch is re-en- gaged the engine is accelerated a little in order that its speed may roughly be on a par with the speed of the road wheels and so avoid shock to the mechanism. Steep hills are taken very slowly with the clutch out, and to avoid heating the brakes, each brake should be used in turn. THE SECOND SPEED. On very steep hills the second speed n engaged (I have on occasions even come down on first), the clutch left in, and the car slowed down to a mere crawl by judi- cious application of both brakes. The descending of a greasy hill ia not a plea- sant business for the best of drivers, even gentle application of the brakes having a tendency to lock the wheels and send them sliding towards the ditch or down the hill crab fashion. The best way out of the. difficulty is to run down on first speed with the engine well throttled down, keep- ing the near side wheels as much in the gutter as possible, as this is generally stony ground and offers some grip for the tyre s. A FAUL TV PUMP. No motorist vorth the name minds work in connection with the running and maintenance of his car. But no one likes .) have to do unnecessary work, although in one rocpect there are many who, per- haps unconsciously, give themgelvee a great amount of unnecessary labour. I refer to the oft-repeated use of a faulty pump. To blow up a tyre with a pump in gol working order is really a light job, but with, a pump that is doing its work inefficiently it is a very fagging perfor- mance. Nearly always when the pump is working badly it is owing to the facl that the washer is worn out, thus allow- illg a large part of the air to escape. The maker lubricates his pump washer with vaseline, but this is eoon reduced to the consistency of thin oil owing to the licat generated by pumping. Gradually the washer dries up, refuses to take in a full supply of air, and also allows much of what it does tako to escape back past the plunger. It is thus impoasible to pump a tyre up to the right pressure. If the washer is worn a new one must be fitted, but in most cases it is only acces- sary to give the old washer a thbrough di-useing with gear grease, which renders it as cilicient as ever. MOTOR-CAR GROUND CLEARANCE. Low-built motor-care do possess certain advantages, it is true, but the advantages tti-a not so great as are the disadvantages. To allow only a few inches of ground clearance is running a very grave and a quite unnecessary risk. Apart from the ianger to the occupants of the car, from stones or other unexpected obstructions, there, is a case to be made against it from the point of view of other road users. A low-built car will raise greater clouds of dust than will one which has sufficient space between the bottom of the car and th9 roadway I do not advocate a high- GWttng body; thero is a happy medium w hich can be adopted. In the ca&e oi au accident, say, in which a child is run over, then is no possibility of it coming through the ordeal safely if there is only live or six inches road clear- ance. On the other hand ii built higher there is always u chance that the driver may clear the child by driving right ovei it. The fame is true in the case of dogs, especially wken the starting handle is lixed in an upright position, as many are nowadays.
