A FEW GOOD POINTERS
IN GEAR SHIFTING

Thousands of motorists each season
are having their first experience in
the operating Of sliding gear trans
missions. Changing gears is a matter
of some little difficulty in the begin
ming at least, and it is a fact thai
quite a proportion Of operators never
| learn to shift gears quietly and to INC
| best advantage.
There are few difficulties which
the inexperienced driver should be
warned against, among which are the
following:
Attempting to shift from one gear to
| another without first throwing OUT he
clutch. An expert may be able to do
this without noise or disastrous Tc.
suits, but, in general, it should never
be attempted
Trying to engage the reverse gear
without first allowing the car TO come
to a full stop.
Attempting to change from neutral
t" low gear with the car at rest and
tie engine running too fast
Among other 'dor'ts" for the ur.
skilled operator OF siding gears are
these:
Don't fail to know exactly where
the reverse" rosition of the gear
shift is, and dont fs!! scrupulousIy to
avoid this position so long as the car
is moving forward.
Don't try to shift from a higher
gear to a lower gear without :crting

fore so doing.
Don't try to change from high gear
to low without letting the car nearly
stop.
Don't fail to speed up the car some
what before changing from iUo or to
4 higher gear
The following of these few srgges-
sons will eliminate much unnC Cessary
noise and wear ana tear.

extremely rugged, but, nevertheless.

STILL WANDERING
ROUND IN A CIRCLE

The big meeting has been held, and Mayor Gill
has been roundy denounced The orators fired 42centi
meter shots at him, but he's still at the city hail. And he's
evidently going stay there until next March, despite the
resolutions passed at the Hippodrome Friday night.
Seattle is just as much at today it yester-
day and all last week The fact is apparent now as be-
fore that Gill will not resign recall does not prac-
cabe and impeachment improbable.
AND THE QUARANTINE is STILL ON.
Seattle apparently is still waiting for Moses to lead
them out of the wilderness.
1t is forgetting the main issue this time-liftng the
quarantine by cleaning up.
That can be done whether Gill resigns or not.
We need bit of level thinking
The Minute Men showed evidences of this last week.
Have they given up the fight?
