TO ECONOMIZE ON GASOLINE
Many Ways by Which Driver Of Auto mobile May Effect Saving
 Of Expenses.

Don't expect to get record number of miles per gallon of gasoline
 If your brakes are poorly adjusted and dragging (then they are absorb ing and changing into heat power that should be propelling the wheels).
 If you are continually seeing how fast you can get over the ground tthe wind resistance on a car is apprecia- able, and it increases as the square of the speed of the car. and at high speeds even more than th:t).
 If your carhuretor Is not adjusted right Gan overrich or an overlean mix lure in the cylinder will not have the power a good mixture wilD.
 If your valves are pitted and burned and leaking (they will let a large part of the power escape before doing it's share of the work).
 If your pistons and piston rings are worn and loose Cots of the power will get by them).
 If you are trying to econOmize by using a "cbeap" oil (the very best you can get receives hard enough usage, let alone trying to use an oil that will burn and gum and cause carbon de- bosits).
 if you do not keep the spark adjust rnent set at the best place Gan explo- sion caused by q spark coming at the wrong time is always weaker than it ought to bel.

SelfStarters Tor Trucks,

Since the use of automatic starting mechanisms on automobiles has be- come general, there has been consid- erable discussion as 10 the advisability of equipping motor trucks and other self-propelled industrial vehicles with them. The engineering department of leading motor-truck company at Lansing. Mich, recently conducted a series of experiments with its new l.500-pound delivery wagon. The results show that selfstarter will more than pay for itself by the gasoline that it will save in the first year. It is also said that the appara- tus will prolong the life of the car, because it eliminates the wear and tear that goes on when the engine is running free. As result of the tests, the company has decided to equip all of its motor wagons with self-starters.
