Rrokaw. the automobile expert. said he
favored the proposed ordinance providing
penalties for offensive smokes and OdoCs
FROM automobiles Mr. Hrokaw. who spoke
on The Automobile. said IN part
Men and automobiles are IN good many
respects alike some men smoke and some
do not and IL 10 the same with automobiles
The difference - that man snokes - good
ciEsr and derives some benefit from n but
there j. no pleasure for any one IN the
smoking automobile.
IT IL certain the conscientious automo-
Dillst-except his machine 10 q very new
one can prevent lie giving out murky
smoke and OF eneive odors. The man who
leaves behind his car q long streak % black
nauseous smoke could very easily remedy
that condition with . little care aud effort
FOUL smoke means either that there n too
much oil being fed 20 the engine or else q
faulty caTbuFersr adjustment Let a man
look to these things aud there will be neither
smoke nor odoT.
