The tread of tires should also be

can be effected by using chains on
the rear wheels whenever the streets
are wet and by keeping the speed OF

this speed is not likely to be a source
of danger. and the chains will take

Gasoline W.. Tires.


X X + +
Gasoline vs.. Tires.
Now that tires are at rock-bottom
prices. perhaps the item of gasoline
will stand out more conSpicuously In
the expense accounts of car owners.
The motoring public has always stood
for the high cost of gas. because
when it got right down to facts and
figures the gasoline item looked like
a drop in the bucket compared with
tires and insurance. In fact, this
that the idea of forcing down the
price of fuel by passing UP the gas
pumps now and again has never been
seriously considered. But perhaps
when motorists begin to check up for
the year and find that their $3.50
miles and that the gas consumed over
the same period cost about 5000, they
will begin to do something about the
gasoline enigma.

Misplaced Practice.
How many drivers who go earnest
ly through the procedure Of touching
their toes with their finger tips twenty
times each morning before shaving ever
think of taking the car on a side street
and practicing how to drive it better?
The musician spends hours doing scales
and reams Of finger exercises. The
singer vocalizes by the hour. The
golfer swings the clubs every evening,
regularly breaking a vase or a chande-
lier. which he cheerfully pays for him
self. But the motorist does all his
practicing on the audience.
1t is as though the pianist had to
study out a chord while his bored
audience grew restless. 1t is as
though the golf champion asked per-
mission to try little putting before
proceeding with the match. The mo-
torist drives right down to Main
street and then starts practicing, ty-
ing up traffic in general. jeopardizing

ObservntfOna,

Those speed limit signs which have
been raised from fifteen miles per
hour to forty-five by practical jokers
are food for thought. Every one ap-
preciates a good. joke. SO perhaps II
towns would post some ridiculously
high limits it would cause reckless
drivers to laugh long enough to for
get to speed. You can't do both at
once and do it effectively. A warning
sign along the main entrance to
Lenox, Mass, has been raised by
some town wit from the conventional
and uninteresting fifteen miles per
hour to a startling 175. You can't
help noticing it, laughing at it-and
going slower.
