Thet passenger car owners have
adopted the suggestions recently made
BY the war economy board Of the ma
dooa council Of defense to familiarize
Themselves with the proper care of
their carA. 80 that they can not only
render first aid" to their cars without
depending on mechanics or service
men. but keep them 100 per cent me-
chanicahy efficient, Is the opinion of
81. r. Branstetter Of a large automo-
bile concern. who adds: mo doubt
the increased use to which owners are
putting their cars, coupled with q
realization Of the help they can render
the government by tightening the load
On garage and repair shops. and de-
sire 70 economize as much as possible,
are the reasons.
"OAce owners know the first princi.
pies ef automobile construction and
the proper care Of the important me-
chanicd uaits and parts, they will find
that 4 b not hard nor difficult, and,
what b more, they usually develop a

sho111 learn Is how to keep his car
properly fabricated. Through the
adoption q oil fabrication In place of

take . ten-minute lesson at any car

that Il not only makes it easier to do
this wofk himself instead of stopping

and 1t The same time reduce carbon

Save Strain on Mechanism.
"OWoers should make a point of
learning how to drive and handle their |
cars q all kinds Of roads without ex-
cesSfve wear on the transmission and
springs and unnecessary strain on the
frame and axles. These first princi-
pies may sound a little difficult, but !!
they really are simple and practical
and become second nature in q very
short time.
The average overhauling or the re-

ALL HAND SIGNALS UNIFORM
Whatever Traffic Regulations May Be,
Principal Thing 10 to Be Fair
to Other Fellow.

In driving through the country 1t Is
a little puzzling to know how to act
sometimes, for the traffic ordinances
vury in different towns. Might It
not be well to consider that certain
principles should be uniform? For ex-
ample. the hand signals. The hand
held out on either side Of the car
should indicate that a turn Is to be
made to that side, or that the car
is to be stopped. A rotary motion Of
the hand would indicate a turn to the
opposite side. In turning corners to
the right, keep as close to the curb
as possible. while in turning to the
left 60 out around the center of the
street intersection. Do not draw up
to the curb except with the curb to
the right side of the ar.
But whatever the regulations may
be, the principal thing is to be fair
to the other follow and always give
him his half, says Dakota Farmer. If
all Of us kept this in mind and acted
accordingly, there would be no road
pigs and fewer accidents.

Cooperative Stores.

While cooperative stores In the
United States are relatively unsuc-
cessful as compared with typical CO.
operative stores In European coun-
tries, the lack of success is not due
to the failure of the underlying prin-
cipleS Of such enterprises to hold good
in America, but to the business meth.
DDS generally followed in such under
takings in this country. This conclu-
sion has been reached as q result of
a survey of 60 cooperative stores made
by the office of markets and rural Or
g%anizatiOn of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. In many Ameri-
can cooperative stores which have
failed, mismanagement, inadequate ac-
counting and auditing, lack Of cooper
alton, poor business methods, and lack
of judgment are responsible.
The results of the survey indicate
that the cooperative store has tended
to bring about lower prices, smaller
margins of profit, more efficient busi-
ness methods, and other practices ben
eficial to the farmer.
With the application of efficient bust
ness methods and the education of
the farmer to a clear understanding
of the functions of cooperative stores,
they may be made successful. In
stances are cited of unusual savings
and large dividends to members Of va
rious associations. Such associations
procure capable managers by paying
adequate salaries; take advantage Of
large-scale purchasing and cash dis
counts; maintain proper accounts and
cost records; and watch stock turn
overs.
The more general, underlying con-
ditions which Investigations indicated
should be present If a cooperative
store is to be successful are: ~ good
leadership among the members, (2)
capable management, (3) favorable
environment, with regard both to phys
ical location and to social or Occupa-
tional affiliations.
