curiosity of the woman leads her TO
find out everything she possibly can
about the machine. She gets book
and studies all about the array of bolts
and valves and belts and wires.
She puts on overalls and gloves and

detail And she finds out what they
are all about.
She learns that there are at least
four things to be sure there is plenty

finds out there are five things to do
before starting the engine: be sure

accidents in which autom obiles fig
ure with trolley cars are not the most
uncommon on the list and there are
several little points that if followed by
the auto driver will lessen such acci-
dents" says w. C. Poertner, metropol-
itan distributor of the National and
Scripps- Booth cars. "One of the prin-
cipal things to keep in mind is that a
trolley car runs on tracks and conse-
quently cannot change its course, so
that it is up to the motor car pilot to
watch out for trolleys, rather than for
the motorman to watch out for auto
mobiles.
Every day we see right here in New
York automobiles closely following
street cars on the rails. This is a very
dangerous practice, for the auto driver
has no means of knowing what instant
the motorman may jam on his brakes,
and in such case it is almost impos
sibie to avoid collision. Then there
is the auto driver who fails to take
into consideration the fact that trolley
cars are likely to turn off at corners
where tracks intersect, and thus at
times the motorist finds himself
jammed between the trolley and the
curb. Also the driver often fails to
ngure that when street car turns
away from him on a curve the rear end
is bound to swing out several feet be-
yond the tracks.
"To be safe driver should always
stop his auto at least twelve feet be-
hind a standing street car, and in no
case should he take dangerous chances
crowding in between trolley and the
curb. Also drivers should never at
tempt to pass q street car moving in
the same direction, on the left side,
but this is practice that is common
in the metropolitan district

roads the woman driver is nothing If
not polite. "You-first-my dear Al
phonse' is her slogan. and the basis Of
all her operations. She keeps to her
side Of the road or street. She stops
when the policeman holds up his hand.
She dims her lights when meeting cars
in the night. And when she runs into
any one she apologies profusely.
But she doesn't often meet with
serious accident. Her percentage OF
error in this respect is much lower
than her brothers. She is a more
careful driver. Being woman. she s
less inclined to take chances that have
dangerous possibilities. She is the
least Of the worries of the figman at
the railroad crossing. Her curiosity
does not lead her to try ia find out
always the least possible time the dis
tance from the beginning to the end
of her journey can be covered in.
Folks riding with her can really forget
the car and enjoy the scenery.
During the war women drove ambu-
lances and the cars of welfare organi-

Care and Feeding of
Young Carburetors
The Troubles Are Varied, but
Easy Treatment Offers for
Certain Ills

"Carburetor troubles are many and
varied, but there are some which are
common, and, as rule, the remedy is
simple in these cases." says William H.
Stewart jr., president of the Stewart
Automobile School. "a little water in
the gasoline will cause lot of trouble.
Water is heavier than gasoline and
settles at the bottom. Therefore, when
the fuel is low in the tank, any water
is likely to be drawn into the car
buretor.
"The carburetor sometimes acts like
q man when imbibing too much liquid
refreshment. 1t has a tendency to be-
come i'll. This indicates that the float
valve mechanism is out of order. A
leaky float will cause the same trouble.
If the valve is to blame this may be
determined by looking at its seat. If
the seat is rough it should be carefully
ground in with oil and emery by ro-
tating the spindle on it's seat. A bent
valve spindle will also cause flooding.
In this case remove the float, place the
spindle on a block of wood and
straighten the bent part with a few
light taps from lead hammer.
"Should the engine balk suddenly
and the ignition system be found to
be in good shape, the feed pipe is
probably choked. Open the drain valve
of the carburetor and if the fuel does
not continue to emerge in a steady
stream after the float chamber is
enlptied the trouble is in the pipe.
Unscrew the unions at each end of the
pipe line and run wire through its
length. Also make sure that all the
gas strainers are clean, both at the
vacuum tank and carburetor.
"The set screw on the butterfly valve
sometimes becomes loose. This trouble
is easily found, inasmuch as the engine
will fail to respond to the movement
of the throttle. The supply valve in
the food pipe at the tank end should
fit suugly in its seat, otherwise it may
jar partly shut and cut off the flow of
gasoline. A leak in the intake pipe
will admit too much air in the cylin-
ders and result in a poor mixture,
which cannot be set by changing the
adjustments"

Suggests Theft Rate
Discount Of SO Per Cent
That Allowance for Putting on
Locking Device Would BEN
eft All. Saws EXPERT

general meeting was held recently
at the Autom obile Club of America by
the metropolitan section of the Society
of Automotive Engineers to discuss au-
tomobile protection and theft insur-
ance. Inc insurance companies were
criticized at this meeting, reports the
Eastern Underwater for offering in
surance too freely without at first
making an inspection of the car to be
insured and investigating the moral
standing of the owner of the car, hav-
ing in mind the idea that the whole
sale stealing of cars fuctuatcs inverse
~ with the attention and care of the
insured.
Selling complete theft coveragc takes
away feeling of worry and mental
strain upon the assured and creates
an indifferent attitude, which automo-
bile thieves are quick to take advan-
tage of.
II. G. McComb. of the Society of
Automotive Engineers, stated at
thus meeting that automobiles CON
stltuted the most abused form of
valuable personal property in ex-
i,stence." This statement may have
Deen made on account of the valued
form OF theft insurance, but that re-
Gently was abolished. A claim for a
SeOAN" ~ 10 now adjusted on a OASIS
OF depreciation value-along the same
lines as that of household furniture
policy.
Another speaker, A. R. Small, vice
pres dent of .the Underwriters Lab
oratories in Chicago, said in part: ".The
only method for stopping the vast
majority of thefts is to remove the
lnducement, to refuse to insure. but
such is impossible and the problem
must be worked out with full knowl-
edge of and consideration for present
conditions. Fully as impractical is
the charging of prohibitive rates by
the insurance companies"
Locking devices now used on various
makes of cars arc doing some good in
decreasing automobile thefts. Instead
OF the insurance companies charging
penalty on certain type cars it would
do we'll to eliminate this charge and
instead make larger discount for its
use. 1t is better to interest car
owner on money saving proposition
tnan to force a penalty charge. The
discount made is Is per cent of the
theft rate. This discount should be
oo per cent and perhaps the company
at the end of the year would have a
lower ratio of losses to peruse.

the city and country is not at all sur
passed, II equaled, my their masculine
friends.
The independence of woman has
penetrated the automobile world. She
can drive "a fivver, limousine or truck
with equal facility. She is to be found
in the automobile school beside her
brother learning all about the intrica-
ciss of ignition systems, clutches, en-
gines and carburetors. She can be
found in overalls under her car re-
pairing any defect. And she does not
hesitate when it comes to changing a
tire on the road.
The automobile is a home necessity
for friend wife, head of the household.
With it she taxis her husband to his
morning train on time. She makes a
bus out of, the carry to carry the chill
dren to school. She makes a truck out
of it when doing the family shopping.
In the afternoon the machine be-
comes pleasure car for an outing in
the cos,-trv. And when the 1854 ar
rives al the suburban station at night,
it is a taxi again waiting his lord
ships arrival for dinner.
To learn to drive a car is perhaps
usually more difficult for the woman
