More Gas BootIeegers Exposed

Exposures of short measure gaso-

Of the Columbus, Ohio, Automobile

found that short measure was re-
ceived in connection with nineteen
of the purchases made.
In some instances. the shortage
amounted to as much as one quart.
The purchase made in each instance
was in five gallon lots. The dummy
tank method was used to get evil

Needless Mileage Waste

How many needless miles do you
drive in the course of day?
A little investigation of the amount
Of gas that is wasted uselessly may
stagger you. You will come to see
that by a little planning it will be
possible to double up on errands,
make one trip downtown do for three
and, in general, get just as much use
out of the car for less money
John Doe drives a halfmile out of
his way to buy gasoline. He buys
gas in five-gallon quantities, thus
wasting a mile every time the tank
is replenished. AS he visited this
particular pump fifteen times last
month he wasted fifteen miles of mo-
toring. He doesn't seem to lose a
wink of sleep over it, yet he probably
never would get over it if gallon
Of gasoline spilled from his tank.
Poor memories have resulted in
many a return trip and, consequent
ly, many a wasted mile. Some of
these drivers who worry so over the
price of gas and one thing or other
could save a lot Of money directing
their attention to planning their mo-
toring more intelligently.
Riding all over town in order to
reach a certain point is not so much
a matter Of JOY riding as plain stu
nidity. Some drivers waste all the
gas they ever saved on carburetor
adjustments by forgetting where the
Left turns prohibited signs are To-
Gated.
Lack Of skill in parking usually
means four wasted blocks of driving.
This repeated several times a day,
six times q week-you get the idea
is no different in the long run from
using dollar bills for cigarette pa
pers.
Allowing the engine 70 idle. start

Our Sunday Sermonette

Saving is a priced habit but some
motorists have queer way Of going
about it. Many imagine that savings
are reekoned only BY the amount of
money put away in the bank each
month.
As a matter Of fact motorist may
be putting away q lot in the bank
but saving nothing. Ho may be liz
ms beyond his means without know
ing it.
What is twenty-five or fifty dollars
a month compared with wilful dc
struction and costly neglect of the
car? Even if what was put away in
the bank covered the cost of neglect
1t would not be saving.
Saving means taking care Of what
YOU have Just as much as 1t means
putting actual money away. Put
coin il the bank and waste property
through neglect ana saving becomes
4 myth Many motorists would set
to the Rolls Royce class quicker #
they would take a little better care
