Careless Driving Worst
Error Owner Can Make
(By H, H. Pinney, Manager OF Works
Chalmers Motor Company


Ninety.nine out Of 100 who buy au.
tOmobiles today consider that they are
making a service investment. The au.
tomobile has ceased to be regarded as
n luxury. The general utility as well
as the pleasure lgiving quality of a mo.
tor car has been Sc well demonstrated
that owners no longer regard their cars
as mere toys.
An automobile is, after all, simply n
machine. A new ear is a potentiality
which will run satisfactorily for a given
number of miles, carrying its full quota
of passengers and equipment and which
will accomplish the various things for
which it Is desired for a given length
of time--the life of the mechanism.
Driving is the service a car renders
the themes by which the machine de.
livers its quota, Good driving enables
the owner to realize the full value of
his investment. Careless driving and a
lack Of care depreciate the investment
out Of proportion to the service rem
dered. Only by good driving does one
get the molt out of his car,
Driving an automobile consists of
more than merely operating the Gluten,
changing gears, applying the brakes
and steering.
To drive well and therefore get the
best service from your ear requires q
little study of the machine Many OF
the minor troubles which private own.
ers have with their ears come from not
having attached the proper importance
to the minor points Of driving.
Carelessness Cause Of Trouble
II does not necessarily follow that
the owner Of ear must take n special
course in mechanics or serve an ap
premiership in an automobile factory

It's cars so nearly trouble proof that
very little technical training is re-

all companies publish complete instruc'

today understand the general principles
Of their cars. They may occasionally
be very careless in such matters as IN.

One Of the most common faults OF

Talks 0N THRIFT
A Practical Profit Sharing Plan.


Spend your money after you have
earned it; never before, DIR. Lyman
Abbott.
One Of the large Minneapolis flour
milling companies early in the winter
gave every one of its 700 employees a
check for $25 with instructions to take
it to savings bank and deposit it, the
check benig valueess otherwise.
The object of these gifts was to fos.
ter thrift among the employees. In order
that the saving habit, once started by
the opening Of the account, may be
kept up, an additional incentive to save
part of their earnings has been made
to the company's workers.
This is embodied in a letter which
reads in part as follows:
"lf you continue in our employ until
November J. 1915, bring your savings
bank book to us. We will then give you
a check for half the net increase in your
bank balance in excess Of the original
$25.
"In other words, il your bank book
shows S45 on deposit November /, 1915
we will add $40 to your savings II
your book shows $40 on deposit on No
vember |, 1915 we will add $25 to your
savings, etc.
g In no case will the amount paid un'
der this arrangement exceed S25,'
One Of the remarkable features was
that large number took to the bank
in addition to their gift check, savings
that never had been deposited. One
man brought 5000 and large number
added to the check enough to insure the
payment of $25 check November ]
1916"
Several Of the employees had savings
accounts already and merely added tn,
check TO their savings. Two hundred
and seventy.four opened savings ac
counts the day the company issued the
check.
This is really practical form Of
profit sharing as II helps people to hell
themselves and encourages the formo
tion Of permanent habit Of systematic
economy. 7. d. MACGREGOR
