Talk Over Ways of Organizing the
 New Club.
 The first steps in the movement for the organization of an automobile club were taken Saturday evening, when a number of prominent autoists met in over ways and means to best organize the club.
 The main business accomplished was the appointment of temporary chairman and secretary, and a com- mittee to draw up charter and by laws for the new organization.
 The first business was the appoint ment of a temporary chairman, Ja- cob Goodhart was appointed to preside for the time, and c. M. Robinson was made secretary pro tenn.
 The question of bylaws and a con- stltution was discussed, and 1t was agreed that the papers of the auto clubs at Hartford and Bridgeport were largely what the New Haven club would want. so the constitution will be on the same lines as those In use by the neighboring cities clubs. The committee that will deal with the question consists of J, P. Goodhart, chairman, c. NJ. Robinson and W. T. Dill.
 Another meeting will be held very shortly.

Amateur repair men when taking any part of their machines to pieces are very liable to lose or misplace some of the smaller nuts or screws un- less some sure method of keeping them Is followed. For this reason 1t Is advisable to use number of small boxes into which the small pieces from each part of the car may DO sorted. It is especially worth while to do this where some time may elapse before the mechanism Is put together again. One experienced driver keeps a number of tin cans, partly filled with kerosene Into which he drops all small parts as he takes them from his car.

A man who knows says; ''The two main points to look after on gasoline engine are the gasoline flow and the electric spark If these are properly cared for and working as they should. the engine must do It's work. Troubles come from using too little or too much gasoline. or gasoline of poor quality; live wire connections; cor roding of the points on the ignition plug; weak batteries; improper con tact at the circuit breakers; water or dirt in the gasoline, which stops the flow at the mixer; loss of compress sion, and in the latter case an ,xam- ation of the valves may show the trou- ble."
