is THERE WATER IN YOUR THINk-TANK7

Why is man like automobile?
Ask your friends and 80 per cent them will tell
you they aren't good at conundrums, and the rest will
give fppant answer.
Mr. Coffman has drawn automobile and has labeled
it You
He has person at the Wheel which presume is the
high cost of living the boss the income tax Let's
forget the man at the wheel and think about the car
which he calls You,
Man does resemble automobile, or an automobile
does resemble man, whichever way you want it. Some
men are eighty horsepower Others cylinder
bockers of traffic Others slow moving trucks de-
signed to carry heavy loads.
Your wheels and running gear the physical body
which carries you about. The human body wears out,
like automobile running gear.
But, like the auto it be replaced Careful eating
and sleeping repair shops to wornout tissues, torn
down by the work of the day. The fabrication of proper
exercise will reduce friction in work and prevent break
downs.
Without OIL your auto gearing runs hot, burns bear
ings, they clog and the stops.
Without physical exercise mans blood clogs and pro-
duces govt, apoplexy, and arterio scleross
The gasoline tank contains the motive power of the
internal CONFUSION engine Your brain is your gas tank
and your thinking power is your gasoline On the quail
ty and quantity of material in your thnktank depend
the speed and power with which you will progress.
Water in gas tank causes trouble. 1t will not vapor
ze in the carburetor, and makes car snort and quit
Foolish ideas in your brain water in the petrol They
get into the carburetor and reard progress IT you
have water in your gas tank better drain it out now.
The engine is the driving power with which you forge
ahead Size is not always indication of driving power
You have the big forty horsepower auto putting and
snortng in muddy stretch HILL while the little bat
tered-up car coughs sereney past
Some roads can't be done high gear. Throwing the
clutch and going into low gear steep hill retards
speed but adds power 1t is safer to slowly than to
take chance of oosening piston rings hill trying
to make it on high.
The person who shoots ahead-has meteoric career,
as we say in the news columns-often comes down as
fast as faster than, he went up He strips his differ
entail going too rapidly under heavy strain.
Some automobiles have sefstarters to start the engine
Others have handles the front wind them up Higher
priced sefstarting cars Higher priced men are
those who possess the selfstartng ability They don't
have to be cranked to make them go.
Your steering wheel is your persplcacity. If you
wise you pick carefully the better roads The ruts
and ridges of unnecessary trouble and worry will
out your ear fast if you choose the wrong road.
If you take the wrong direction at fork, you go miles
out of your way Read the signs carefully and consult
your gudebook often that the steering wheel may be
turned the right way Guidebook and the gnposts for
you thoughts of others, embodied in books
Read the biographies of great and find which way
they turned the steering wheel when they forks
in the road Learn from the experience of others about
the road ahead of you
