MOTOR GOSSIP
By Isl" GROGAN

There is only one good thing that
skid.
BE kind to your horse" reads a pla-
card found on most every horse-drawn
vehicle in Washington. 1t might well
be changed to be kind to your car.
Admitting that horse is a living ami
NAL possessed of feeling while the
motor car is an inanimate object that
is made of steel, iron, aluminium and
other metals. there is a similarity be-
tween the two. Both are the servants
of man. 1t may be purely mercenary
reason that many men are kind to
their horses-because by SO doing they
prolong their usefulness or ii may be
because they are truly human and do
not want to see any animal suffer. In
the end both amount to the same thing.
greater usefulness.
The motor car is fast displacing the
horse in everyday life. 1t is quicker.
never tires, and is more economical.
But like the horse it demands atten-
ton and kindness.
Kindness to a motor car consists In
seeing that the radiator has plenty of
water at all times and In winter put
ting either a blanket over it when
leaving the machine in the open or
having it fitted with a hood cover
that the oiling system is working
properly and has sufficient oil for
and last, but not least, that
reckless driving and overlooking are
not INDUCED in. 1t only takes a few
minutes a day to be kind to your mo-
tor car. but the few minutes cannot be
more profitably spent by the man who
owns a machine. The money he will
make by saving on repair bills by this
few minutes inspection each day will
more than cover all expenses of him.

MANY HANDSOME GIFTS

All OF us who are numbered among
those that are not fortunate enough
TO own the modern mode of getting
about, the automobile. have at some
time or other during the past twelve
months enjoyed the hospitality of our
more fortunate brethren. those who
do own automobiles. Our invitations to
ride have extended all the way from
being asked to go for a spin on a hot
summers evening to taking a tour.
In our feeble way We have tried to
reciprocate in various manners but
somehow we feel that We are still
under some sort of an obligation to
those who were our hosts on these de-
lightful excursions.
Every automobile owner, no matter
how affuent, now and then sees
something in the way of accessories
for his machine or something that he
would like to have. The manufacturers
have been most liberal in looking out
for the comforts of the automobilist.
Everything that could possibly be de-
sired has been provided for by them.
True the manufacturers, when they
build car, include equipment all
of those things which pertain in a
general way to the comfort of those
who may purchase their machines but
there are many things besides that go
with a car and which add TO the COM
forts of those who ride

Christmas season to remember those
who have befriended us on u hot sum-
mer's evening when We wondered how
We were ever going to get cooled off.
They took US for a ride through the
park or around the Speedway and We
were refreshed by the cool breezes
created by the swiftly moving car.
Perhaps when we were wondering how
the most enjoyment could be had from
our vacation one OF these same friends
suggested that we accompany them on
d trip through the surrounding coun-
try. Naturally we did our bit in meet
