HELPFUL HINTS TO
MOTOR CAR OWNERS

Because a towfd wheel will follow

is towing it, it generally IS possible TO
drive a short distance backward If the
steering gear breaks, leaving one wheel
comfortable. The unmanageable wheel in
such a case should be dashed to pre-
vent il turning athwart the car.

placed in a cardboard folder. the task
becomes mere child's play. for the crease
of the folder can be inserted and pushed
into the small space until the gasket
is in proper position and the folder then
withdrawn.
