From a mOtOrist who lives in a Sec

comes a suggestion which its author

method on numerous occasions, and
that it has never failed to work. lie

few will have been worked in when
the tires will begin to grip and the
car start forward. If a few won't
do the work, keep on feeding in the
papers until good traction is gained.
This method of handling a difficult
situation is so simple and so uniform
ly successful that every motOrist should
know 1t. If he is not equipped with
some other apparatus for such a con-
%tingency, he should always have a
little pile of newspapers stored away
in some empty place in his car.

BUILDING
DIRT ROADS CARE IN SPRING
Proper Drainage 10 Chief Essential In
Maintenanee-Road Drag 10
Especially Useful.

The cardinal essential In spring
maintenance Of earth roads, especially
those on heavy soils. is good drainage.
So long as the water can be kept
from penetrating deeply into these
roads they will remain at least fairly
passable. To accomplish this on aver
age earth roads. however. is far from
easy. During the early part or this
season of the year rains are often of
long duration and tend to saturate the
soil. Water from melting snOws Is
perhaps even more penetrating Than
lGng-cOntinued rains. while alternate
freezing and thawing Of the wet sur
face tends to increase the porOsity OF
the soil and permit even more ready
access of water into the foundation.
The chief attention Of the road man
must therefore be directed toward
getting and keeping the water away
from ,the road. So long rs the fOunda-
ton can be kept dry. even a heavy
freeze followed by a rapid thaw will
do little or no real damage to the o
surface. A dry soil does not heave.
The foundation will therefore still be
solid. and the road will be able to
sustain the traffic without serious rut-
ting. On the other hand a saturated
soil expands greatly on freezing. and
when it thaws out has not only lost
practically all power of sustaining the
weight of traffic, but also is in an Ideal
condition for taking up or absorbing
| still more water. and thus forming
still more mud.
During the early part of the season,
as long as the weather is very rainy
or there Is melting snow on the ground
it will pay to have the road man go
over the road daily to see that the
drains and side bitches do not become
clOgged and to note the need of any
necessary repairs. A few minutes
work with n shovel may prevent a Sc
riOus washout or damages. which. If
not promptly checked, might make the
road practically impossible.
The road drag or some other similar
device finds its greatest usefulness
during this season. 1t may be used
TO good advantage to clear the road
way of slush and melting and SO
prevent this water from soaking into

AWFUL THRILLS
OF FIRST RIDE
Owner of New Car Quickly Dis
covers He Cannot Shift Gears
Like Demonstration.
TRAFFIC TANGLES PUzzLING
Rules Of the Road, Especially Getting
by Policeman at Crossing, Often
Get Drivers Goat-Many
Things Forgotten.

When you go out with the demon
stratOr in the new car you have
bought, running it looks just as easy
as giving candy to a child, but when
YOU start out by yourself-that's diff
ferent.
About the first trouble you have is
with your gears, and while you are
certain that you can shift them as
well as the demonstration did. you dis
cover that you can't, and in all prob
ability you blame it on the car.
Road Rules Bother.
Then there's the rules of the road,
and especially getting by the traffic
policeman. If you ever noticed 1t,
when the officer holds up his hand you
stop and kill your engine and bump
back and forth when you go to start,
and tie up other cars, and finally two
or three cars pass YOU and YOU can
see black looks and hear a voice call
ing out something that you know isn't
complimentary.
When you try to back up you are
likely to back into another car. or
over a curb, or into a telephone pole,
and when you're out for the first time
you usually want the entire street
clear when you 90 to pass another
machine. and you feel like you'd rath-
er stop than try to pass a street car,
Then, again. you've wondered what
was the matter with your new car
because it wouldn't go right and
bumped along and the engine heated
like a furnace and you couldn't get
your machine out of n slow walk.
Possibly you have stopped and tele-
phoned the service man to come and
see what was the matter. He came,
released your brake and you were all
right.
Battery Exhausted.
Then, perhaps, you allowed your
lights TO burn all night in the garage,
or maybe you left on your ignition and
exhausted your battery. Also, per-
haps, you forgot all about your lights
until a policeman warned you.
The new driver usually kills his en-
CINE on the track when he passes in
front of II street car. Again, did You
ever step on the acceleratOr instead OF
the brake and run over the curb? In
the winter, did you let your radiator
freeze?
