Armament for Protection.
I'm the French lust for revenge

an armament for protection against
future enemies
He concluded: "a durable general
peace is impossible as long as the
lasting integrity of the German EN-
pire and the security of its vital inter-
ests are not assured"
In conclusion Hertling said:
There are no differences between
us, and President Wilson, regarding
the freedom Of the seas, but it's most
important for the future freedom of
navigation that England relihquish
her strongly fortified points on Inn
portant sailing routes like Gibraltar,
Malta, Alden, Hongkong and F'alk-
lands"

FOIL PERSISTENT CAR THIEF
possible to Move Auto Without
Towing II Away.

There seems to be good reason to
believe a way has been found TO foil
the persistent car thief. Among the
features included on new automo-
bile model is a gear-shift lock which
gives this car the distinction OF be-
ing thief proof. Only by towing the
car away can it be moved against the
wishes Of the owner. The new lock
is an integral part Of the transmission
cover. A hardened steel tube acts as
the lock. This tube slides into en-
gagement with the change gear lever,
which becomes locked solid. In this
position 1t becomes impossible to move
the lever out of neutral and so engage
the gears. The machine is locked
against theft by light shove with the
foot on this steel tube. The key is
necessary only for unlocking.

TO CROSS TRACKS
Simple Things That May Prevent
Trouble on Railroad.
SHIFT into SECOND SPEED
Engine Is Run at Rate Which Removes
Danger Of Stailine-Fuii Throttle
Will Insure Better Control
Of Machine.
CBy WILLIAM H. STEWART. JR)

(By WILLIAM H. STEWART. JR)
An item of extreme importance to
the motorist is the proper crossing of
railroad tracks. especially crossings
where there are no gates. The usual
method is to throttle down and drive
across in high, not bothering about
shifting to q lower gear. Considera-
tiOn Of the matter will show that the
engine may easily be stalled when so
handled. To drive in high gear re-
quires a certain amount Of gas. II the
amount is reduced too much the engine
will stall. By shifting into second
speed all such danger Is overcome.
The car may be driven across the
tracks at approximately the same rate,
but the engine is fdn at a speed which
removes the danger Of stalling. The
distance is short and q full throttle
will insure better contro! and send the
machine clear If necessary.
Engine 10 choked.
Usually the driver opens the throttle
too suddenly. thus choking the engine.
This is because the air valve yields
readily to the increased suction, CIV
ing a sudden rush Of air before the
spray nozzle can respond with suffi-
cient gr rsoline. The throttle, whether
opened by hand or accelerator. should
be opened gradually enough to allow
the engine to respond.
Stalling the engine on the tracks
with the train approaching at high
speed is a ticklish experience. to say
the least. There Is no time to start
the engine. so the operator who keeps
his presence Of mind uses the starter
to pull out Of danger. He quickly
shifts into low speed and presses the
starter pedal. The car moves forward
slowly, but 1t movesI Keeping this
fact In mind, a driver may save his life
in such an emergency and also the
lives Of those with him.
Gears In Speed.
When starting down q long. steep
grade 1t Is advisable to leave the gears
In q speed for use in an emergency.
The rear wheels will then turn the en-
gine, which resistance affords a very
good braking effect. A light car on a
moderately steep hill will slow down
quickly and a heavier car will move
slowly enough to be under control.
This Is called "using the engine as a
brake" 1t should be practiced from
time to time 30 that the driver may be-
come familiar with the method.
Many drivers do not know how to
take the bumps easily. A good way is
A.
foot brake gradually. This relieves the
shock 20 that many times 1t may not
be noted BY those riding.
