 AUTOIST WITH IDEAS

The scorching Texas desert was the worst place for anything to hap pen to the motorist. So it happened.
 Twenty-Five miles out from no where in particular, all alone, dry, sweating and laboring to get his ma chine over the rutty road that lay before him, the motorist suddenly bumped into deep hole. Snap! Something mus1 have broken, he be- lieved, somewhere in front.
 He got out to look. The front wheeles were facing each other, in stead of running parallel, as good wheels should. He investigated. The steering yoke was broken!

KEEP GARAGE VENTILATED

No matter how cold or unpleasant it may be. keep your garage open while you're inside tinkering with your machine,
 Last month, the state of Ohio re- ports two deaths which resulted from working in an air-tight garage. They were caused by the oxide gas that emanates from the automo- bile, and with no pure air to circulate through the small shop, it takes short time for the place to fill with the deadly fumes. And you cant tell when you might be getting it, fcr there's hardly any odor to the gas.

KEEP OFF THE TRACKS

You may think it easy and smooth driving. when you let your car ride the car tracks. But do you know that the wear on your tires occurs just where there should be the least rub? The tread is where the tire should wear. But riding the car along the tracks wears the tires along the sides "a weak spot. Besides, there's great CT liability to skid, when turning out.
