there is much of any traffic to be en-
countered. II in a city no place is so
good as a large park at a morning hour
when IL Is comparatively deserted.
1t Is much better to practice starting,
stopping, backing and turning around
where there is plenty of room than in
close quarters, because the fear Of
ner of assurance so that he is likely to
forget the right thing to do. and do
damage before he stops. II is better
practice for him TO back into a sail
marked out on the ground until he can
do II with confidence and accuracy
than to back into the side of a shed.
The pupil should be made to drive
very slowly until he has gained conf
dence In steering. but that does not
mean that he should drive
on low gear. 1t Is better practice to
drive at about the miles per hour on
intermediates gear for a while, and then
at about twelve to fourteen on high on
a particularly favorable spot where
should slow down in approaching ruts,
because OF the danger Of the GEAR
wheels following them while the front
ones start off to one side. This con-
dition makes car turn more quickly
than usual, and il takes some exprf-
nee to meet il without danger.
Nothing else will SO well show an ex-
perienced driver how unconsciously he
controls his car as the task of teaching
another. He will find that what seems
to him a simple action really contains
several distinct motions, which must
be done In correct sequence. and this
must all be spelled out to the begin
ner.
The lessons are not complete till the
car has been stopped and started sue
cessfully on a considerable up grade
Two methods of starting the car under
these conditions are possible-One to
hold the car against backing down the
hill by means Of the foot brake. and
accelerate the engine with the hand
throttle while the clutch is being en-
gagged. and the other to hold the car
with the emergency brake, which Is re-
leased at the proper time while the
car is being started. otherwise just on
the lever. The latter way Is the bet
ter, beeause~ft Is most like the ordinary
way, and IL requires less motions, be-
cause the emergency brake is engaged
anyway.
1t usually requires some patience to
impart to the beginner the knack Of
opening the foot throttle at the right
time to prevent the engine from stall
ing when the clutch Is let in, without
first racing the engine. and at the same
time to engage the clutch gently so
as not to cause the car to jump. It all
depends upon learning the exact posi-
ton at which the clutch will take hold.
slowing up the motion of the clutch
pedal at that point, and accelerating
the engine at the same time .
During the first one or two lessons
II Is best to drive with set spark, or
II any spark adjustment is necessary
1t should be done by the instructor
without requiring the learners atten-
tion-

One of the duties usually devolving
upon the selling of car, whether it be
new or secondhand, is to teach the new
owner its operation. IL the purchaser Is
an experienced motorist the task may be
reduced to showing him the points in
which hts new car differs from his old
one. with the special care required
But II the purchaser Is not accus-
toned to driving cars II will be for the
best interest of both parties, especially
II the seller maintains an agency. and
has a reputation for service to main
tain. to spend the necessary time for
several driving lessons.
1t is to be assumed that the car beipg
sold is provided with a three-speed Sc
lective transmission gear. and accelera-
tor, besides spark and throttle control
on the steering column. separate pedals
for clutch and brake and. hand con,
trolled emergency brake. Variations
from this construction may be easily
allowed for, says Horseless Age.
The next step Is to teach the starting
of the motor, with both self-starter and
crank, IL the former is provided. and to
give a little practice at controlling the
engine from the drivers seat while the
car is standing still. The engine should
then be stopped while the pupil prac-
tices shifting the gears. first without
thinking of the clutch pedal. then taking
pains to throw out the clutch, just be-
fore each shift, and let It in promptly
but gently afterward. 1t is also well to
lack I'D one rear wheel. and block the
other wheels solidly against both for
ward and backward movement, and
practice gear shifting with the engine
running.
Special attention must be given to the
change from first gear to second In
order that the knack of jumping across
from one slot to the other may be ac-
uuired. This is a good time to teach
the driver to stop the car, because he
is not so likely to stall the engine un-
der these conditions as when the car Is
moving. At any rate he should be thor
oughly taught to stop the car before
he is allowed to start 1t, and gtver
practice enough so that he Is not likely
to forget how when he becomes little
bit mixed.
II Should be impressed upon him that
he should always be ready to jump
on the clutch and brake pedals with
both feet in any emergency. and II the
foot brake is not powerful he should be
taught to pull up the emergency brake
too. Impress upon him the necessity fol
throwing the gear shift lever into the
neutral position before letting the
clutch I'm again, and teach him the I'M
portance of being sure that IL Is in that
position whenever the car Is left. and
whenever the engine Is cranked, by
showing him how disregard of this rule
may easily cause a serious accident
The beginner is now ready to put the
car in motion. Care should be exer-
cised in selecting a spot for this first
lesson in actual driving. II in the coun-
try a road free from ruts should be Sc
lected, and it should also be wide II

Says Tire-Making Will
Lead Motor Industry

Few men have ever stopped TO
think that ultimately the tire busi-
ness will be the big end of the auto
mobile industry" says G. NJ. Stadel-
man, secretary of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company. of Akron, Ohio,
There are now perhaps 100000 cars
in use In the United States. This year
POSSIBLY 4Oa, 600 new cars will be in
use, discounting this number by those
which go out of service.
Gradually the ratio between the
number of cars in use and the num-
Der CT cars being sold. is increasing
ultimately the opportunity for the
sc.le Of new cars will be much small
er than the opportunity for sale of
service in connection with the cars
in use. After awhile, the big end
of the automobile industry will be
the sale of tires and other parts nee.
essary to keep the car running.
"As the tire is the most important
accessory of the car, and the acces-
sorry which needs to be renewed most
frequently, IL follows that the tire
business in time will become the big
end of the automobile industry"

CAR BECOMES PART
OF PERSONS LIFE
st. Louisans Ready to Back Up
Opinions of Motors With
Their Hard, Cold Cash.

An automobile becomes almost an in
tegral part of man after he has driven
it for awhile, says Stewart Mcdonald.
vice president OF the Moon Motor Car
Company. Mcdonald illustrated the at
tachment of men for their own par
ticular make of cars by citing a news
story which appeared last week in the
st. Louis papers, which told Of. two
friends who no longer sbeak. and who
are each out Of pocket 800. as the re-
suit of a controversy as to which of the
two makes Of automobiles was the bet
ter.
The two St. LOuisans got into an ar
gument as 10 the relative merits of GER
tain makes OF cars. One of the friends
owned a machine Of a certain make. had
driven ii himself. and said he knew
there was none better. The friend dis
agreed and i race between the two
makes was arranged, and each put up
500 on the result. When the race time
came one Of the friends failed to show
up. and the money is being held by the
stakeholder. pending a decision.
Politics and religion have always
been topics of heated argument When
the horse was in his prime friends often
fell out over the respective merits of
their steeds. Bicycles, too, inspired a
partlsanship that often led to blows
But when 1t comes to a real rough and
tumble argument in which neither side
will be inclined to give in an inch the
respective merits OF automobile lakes
the prize.
When a man drives an automobile
he soon learns to feel his car. He can
get just little more out OF his engine
than anyone else can. and he can tell
what ails 1t quicker than most anyone.
Therefore, most automobile owners come
wrapped up in merits 81 their own car
they will fight for 1t at the drop Of i

Mistake to Neglect
Speedometer Drive

Just because the speedometer drive
Is subjected to little or no stress is no
reason why it should be neglected. On
the contrary, Il should be inspected

readings of the speed. but to prevent
possible accidents through a part work.

the advisa bility Of attention to the

on investigation it was found that the

become loose and had wedged in be-
