we'll be lookin' back to 1928 as the
dark ages in motoring.
Just look at the way we break in
new cars. If motorist happens to
be lucky enough to get a machine
delivered to him by freight he makes
believe he is driving the car below
first thousand miles. He has fool
notion that it's the speed Of the car
that counts, whereas it's the speed OF
the engine. SO when he sails through
traffic uphill in second speed at
eighteen miles an hour he's runnin
the same risk as when driving thirty
five miles an hour in high The
enxine's runnin just as fast.
Then there's the strain of drivin'
slow in high ST Smith thought he
was pampcrin' his new engine by
taking it easy up these hills, and all
til while he was strainin' it, |
know: | replaced burned bearing.
What We'll have to come to is
this: Jack up the new car, set 'cr in
high and let her run at twenty
miles an hour for thousand miles.
We mechanics often run an engine
after we've overhauled it, but Jack
ing up the car has the ADVANTAGE of
Givin the engine somethin' to do he
sides runnin' itself. We just broke
in Il new car this way and I'm here
to tell YOU that that car is going tc
outlast any car around here that's
broken in by actual driving. II

YOU want to move it around the
garage? Do you grab door handle.
or the windshield, or the steering
wheel? Or do YOU use little judg-
ment?
l. There is one way to pick up a cat
correctly as against half dozen
ways Of half killing it. It's the same
with n car. Some car owners grab
the tenders and manage to mark
them up in excellent shape. Some OF
them tackle it all from the tire car
ricr and manage to make it looser
than ever. Others strain the doors.
Those who push find it's rather hard
work, while those who pull on the
bumper find new ways Of getting
back strain.
The right way. and the easiest way.
is to grasp the spokcs of the wheels.
When YOU put the cat out tonight
note the way you take it by the nape
of the neck. No other way would
do. Then ask yourself why YOU don't
| exercise the same sort of care with

That sudden stallinS of the engine
after starting is an indication OF
overlooking the cylinders with gas?
An engine will balk when it is fed
too much gas quite as quickly as il
will stall when starved. Drivers
who take the precaution Of turning
over their engines by hand before us
ing the starter each morning, as a
means of saving the battery, often
find that the stalling follows starting.
This is due 10 the excessive choking
of the engine, OF excessive cranking,
or both. 1t is sometimes necessary
TO open the pet cocks to libcratc the
excess gas: but waiting a few mo-
ments will usuall.- answer the pur-
pose. Drivers who crank over their
engines can avoid this trouble by
pushing in the chokcr just before US
ing the s@r. If the choker has
been out While Cranking by hand the
engine is bound to be flooded with
gas if the choke is left out whom the
starter is used and the ignition
switched on.

tum.
One manufacturer with a new type
Of transmission believes that the
of its annual mileage. This means
that approximately 1866 million
gallons of the $500 million gallons
used by car owners in the United
States in 1922 ought to be still in
storage or back in mother earth.
What the manufact ,rer means is
that millions of gallons of gasoline
are wasted in the work of COM
pensating for the enormous amount
Of momentum wasted.
Momentum is power. True, mo-
mentum won't take a car up hill.
but it will take it part way! In
traffic it can often be used to propel
the car for an entire city block. COM
pletely, fulfilling every requirement.
The average driver. however. follows
the wasteful method of using engine
power to speed up the car and then
wastes brake lining to kill the extra
momentum which he did not need.
Every time n driver is obliged to
use his brakes he's wasting power.
When power is wasted extra fuel
must he used to make up for it..
Doubtless when a driver applies his
brakes he is thinking of the amount
of brake lining he is wasting. not the
gasoline wasted through disslpating
the momentum. If drivers would
realize that it costs them so much
for gasoline every time they stop by
3pplying tie brakes more cars would
come to a stanGstill through natural
dissipation of momentum due to
coasting to the stopping point with
the clutch disengaged. To estimate
the great power of momentum it is
only necessary to note the extra
burden placed upon the engine when
the car does not get a good start

Keep Expense Record

The motorist who doesn't keep any
record Of his car expenses stands to
lose in Il variety of ways. but now
he's out of luck anew. These gas
taxes which he has been paying in
many states may be deducted from
his income. The same. with state Ii
censc fees. These are State taxes, and
arc accordingly deductible. Where
the car is used for business the cost
OF ordinary upkeep charges and fuel
IS dcductiblc since it is an expense of
running the business. Where the car
is used for both business and pleas
ure the cost should, OF course, he
apportioned. But all this is like the
Greek language to the car owner
who simply PAYS out and never keeps
record Of expenses. To those who
keep records in half hearted way,
or who think it might be advisable
to try. this should be sufficient in
ccntiVe to get out the little red memo

YOU do it in Instruments.

Speed and Chains

@3ains have their legitimate use.
but rs usual drivers find ways of
OVERRIDING it. The latest is the habit of
driving too fast when chain equipped.
Even the chain manufacturers don't
advertise that their article will guar
antee motorists against accidents, but
drivers seem to have a notion that
the chains Justify greater speed. AS a
matter OF fact the chains simply
make the normal speed of tho car for
wet weather safe. It fifteen to
twenty miles an hour is the limit for
wet weather driving the chains will
make their speed practically safe.
But il the driver clips off thirty miles
per hour or over he must remember
that in event of need for a quick stop
conditions are about the same as
though he were caught going twenty
miles per hour without chain protec-
ton. Too much confidence in chains
is like getting careless with the Saso-
line just because there's a fire eX-
tinguiSher in the car.
