oline motor will act the same way
It's all in the mixture. Gasoline, re-

ploded at the psychological moment
and thus produces. results.
Don't starye your motor on oil, over
dose it rather than that, but on the
contrary don't give it more fuel-the
gas mixture-than it can healthily as
simulate or you will set up a series of
internal complaints which will not only
be difficult to diagnose, but costly to
cure.
In hill climbing remember that it is
gravity that is against you, provided
your automobile has sufficient power
If bit of hard driving, carelessneSs
or what not, breaks a spring, unless
it is just at the shackle, a repair is
easily made by binding the injured
member in a splint of iron or even
wood. It won't look very well and the
job will not be an engineers job
but it will enable you to get home.

is just possible that their added
weight will enable the wheels to grip !;
if they won't throw an old rug before
them in an emergency, and if there
are no sharp rocks between the two a
little dirt thereon, which is readily re-
moved, will be the sole damage, and
you may have been saved a detour of
many gloomy miles.
Something else may suggest itself to
throw beneath the wheels if you don't
want to run the risk with that Stuart
plaid your wife bought in Scotland
last season, but the point is something
must be there. Stubble from a neigh
boring field, dry gravel or pebbles, if
you can find them will do it,
Be a good Samaritan when on the
road. If you see a big lump of a
boulder with which some truckman
has blocked the wheels of his wagon
while climbing greasy hill and
gone on and carelessly left it lying
there, get out and remove it. You
may strike it on the way back in the
dark or some creditor of yours might
do so when you would be out of pock-
ct just the same.
Another thing you might dove all
might do if We did what we ought
and that is repress the small boy who
is occasionally met with who smashes
a glass bottle up against lamp post.

in some parts; is it in your neighbour

Damages by Storm.

The storm of Tuesday night worked
havoc with the roads in New Milford.
On Guinea Hill a section of highway
about ten feet wide, six feet deep and
some fifty feet long was scooped out
while trench of almost similar pro-
portions was dug by the rain in the
Chicken Hill! road. Great damage is
also reported to the highway running
over Long Mountain. The Sherman
farmers report the reads SO bad that
they are unable to go to Merwinsville
to- deliver mill. at the railroad station.
The ice in the Housatonic river has
been broken up and has piled twenty
feet high at the plant of the New Mil
ford Electric Light Company. The
railroad bed is reported unaffected, but
trains We're given orders to run slow
ly.
The State highway, which runs along
the Pomperaug river in Woodbury. was
washed away by the storm for a dis
lance of three-quarters of a mile. In
some places the washouts are seven
and eight feet deep. The road is now
impossible. 1t was built at cost of
between $4,000 and $4,000
