 Whenever a grade or bad stretch of road is encountered it is far better to make it on the high, and cause the a grade on a good stretch of road, and it is desired to take it on high gear speed up the car before striking the grade, and then open the throttle wide at the base of the hill When the. motor is turned slowly the power de- veloped is very low and increases with the speed up to a certain limit There fore gears should be wisely chosen and trouble avoided.
 When going down a. steeza grade the engine should be engaged on the second or third gear and the gas shut off so that there will be no firing in cylinders. The motor then acts as a brake and saves gas and brakes as well It is a dangerous practice to coast down hill with the motor dis engaged and then suddenly engage the clutch while the car is 111ovins; IS or 20 miles an hour. This does the motor no good, and may result in a broken fly wheel or craxGkshaft The careful driver will never indulge this practice.
 A car should be allowed to accel- crate easily, and never put to speed too quickly. The motor. should never be allowed to race The throttle should be set so that the motor is turning slowly when idIirg.

MoRAI,: TRADE AT HOME.

A resident of Danbury who recent " tried to save a few dollars by buy ing an automobile in New York city, learned an important lesson He had entered into negotiations with an automobile dealer of his city, when suddenly the thought struck him that he could save the dealers conanis- sion by going to the rheadquarters of the company fn~ New York city and buying his automobile there
 He made two trips to New York city to look at the automobile When he came to inquire about the pur- chase price, however, he found that it was the same as had been quoted to him by the dealer in this city
 On making further inquiries he found that the cofnpany allowed the local dealer a commission for any cars sold to persons in his territory, and that although he could buy his car in New York city, the dealer here would get his usual commission just the same
 The local resident thought the mat ter over and finally decided to buy his car of the local dealer. The moral Trade at hone,'' was nevertheless firmly impressed upon the man by the incident

Never put a. car up with mud on It. This will affect the varnish and leave b1eached spots on the color if allow ed to stand for tweraty-four hours Wash off the mud, don't wipe. other wise the effect is the same as if sand paper were used. A gentle stream of water applied at an angle will car ry off the mud without scratching the finish. After washing dry with a soft chamois skin This will give a good polish.
 Before starting out see that the ra- diator is filled with water,athat there is plenty of gaso1ene in the tank and that the small air vent in the filler cap of the gasolene tank is free, from dirt. Compress all grease cups a half turn daily and keep them fill ed with a. good grade of cup grease
 Frequently inspect ignition cables to see that they are in good condition and tight at the nagneto and spark kpIugs Twice a week go over all the moving parts that are not provided four to six drops of oil. Once a n1onth put a few drops of oil into the magneto bearings.

DEFECTS IN NONPARTIsAN LAW

tFrom the Wilkes Barre News
1t should not pe necessary to sacri-
flee the nonpartisan features of the
commission form of government for
third class cities in order to secure
partisan elections for the higher courts
OF the State. but If it Is, public senti-
ment will favor the entire revision of
the election laws including the COM
plete elimination of the nonpartsan
provisions. The evils developed by
nonpartisan elections for such State
Offices as judges of the Supreme and
Superior Court are so great that the
virtues of nonpartisan local elections
are completely overshadowed.
Indeed, the partisanship OF candidates
for municipal Offices is not vitally
significant factor nor does II determine
their political fortunes. The .reputa-
known to the electorate and he must
stand or fall according to them. The
revision of the election laws in this
State during the past decade has not
spelled progress.
Despite the universal condemnation
of the old convention system of nomi-
nation it possessed many advantages
lost in the popular primaries of to-day.
No candidate. who was not worthy or
capable of filling the office to which
he aspired, could hope to secure the
party endorsement under the old sys-
tenn To-day. success in securing pub
lie office is dependent largely upon the
eXtravagant expenditure of money for
the candidate who hopes to keep his
name constantly before the electorate.
This, of course. constitutes the basic
evil of modern politics.
