RULES OUTLINED l
 FUR DRIVERS ON FREIGHT JOURNEY

With freight equipment scarce, and with every one determined to give the government absolute right of way on our railroads, automobile driveaWays are the rule instead of the exception. Not only are these drive-aways being conducted by groups of dealers, but prospective owners find it pleasant toI make up a party and come to Detroit and drive away their own cars.
 It would seem timely, then, to give a few simple instructions to these anna teur pilots, some of whom have had very little experience in driving at all, and most of whom have had no ex tensiye experience in cross-country driving over strange roads, especially in parties or squads. These sugges- tions are drawn from the experience of the Hupp Motor Car corporation in su- perVising scores of driye-aways in the last two months.
 Each Driver Should Know
 First, as to the car itself. Regard less of the rigid inspection given cars before they leave the factory, each driver should assure himself by per-
 
 is filled with lubricating oil, the gaso- line tank filled with fuel, the radiator filled with water, and the tires prop erly inflated If the motor is type that lubricates under pressure, he should see that the oil gauge is regis tering properly. If the car carries a reserve compartment in the gasoline tank, as all cars should, the driver should make sure that he is not driy- ing on the reserve when he starts out. Once on the road, the driver should rigidly refrain from driving faster than twenty miles per hour for the first two hundred miles, and faster than thirty miles an hour thereafter until at least | the five hundredth mile Nothing will ruin motor quicker than driving it at excessive speeds when new.
 One As Chosen Leader
 1 If there is a party driving away, one | driver, preferably the most exper- fenced, should be chosen as the leader and after the route has been deter mined, the othr drivers should follow this driver conscientiously. Cars ir | line should be driven in sight of each other, especially where there are many | forks and turns in the road likely to | lead stragglers astray. A few moments
  spent in waiting for the car behind a, such points save hours spent in locat- ing lost members of the party. Many l pilots find that it saves time to carry a bag of confetti to be scattered along the right road at doubtful points. Al night ball of waste, soaked in kero- sene, lighted and thrown in the middle of the road, serves the same purpose.
 If possible, in every drive-a party there should be one mechan- ician. In large parties, the exper should have nothing to do but ride 1T one car after another throughout the trip. Frequently he can make on tn, spot minor adjustments which, if neg lected, might lead to serious trouble Every driver should be eon the lookou for any unusual behavior in his car ol its motor Upon the appearance O anything of this kind he should imme diately stop and see that the attention of the mechanician is called to it ant trouble corrected before proceeding
 Adds to Pleasure of Trip
 It adds to the pleasure of drive away if, as far as possible, the dis tance to be covered each day is pre- determined and arrangements made b.
