and hs car leaped through the garage doors.
 The auto struck supporting post, knocking it out. The second floor was let down on him with many autos He was caught in the debris and, in the ensuing fire, was burned to a crisp while thousands of dollars in damage resulted.
 This man was a believer in the the ory of keeping the engine pulling. But it has been found that it is just as easy to drive a car with the accelera- tor as with the hand throttle. Then, if a driver schools himself into the use of the clutch, such an accident as rthe above is not apt to follow.
 When an autoist drives with the accelerator, he must release it as soon as he removes the clutch. Thus the engine is permitted to run idle at low rate of speed, while the car is free from the engine. When the auto ist reaches for the foot brake, should he miss it and strike the accelerator he has done no damage.
