The Old Mechanic Says:

Its certainly puzzle to me why
SO rev drivers can SHIFT gears with
horhood. Just listen 10 that fellow
now. You'd think he had never
handled car before. aud I'll bet
he's been at IL for FIVE or ten years.
He's shiftin' the gears by main force
when they shift. Its just about as
with the ignition OFF.
When Joe Brown was in here with
gear trouble last week told Linn
point blank thta the actual mechani-
cal trouble with his Transmission
didn't hold candle TO the trouble
with his gear shiftir'. | showed him
that his habit Of puln' and pushin
on the shift lever wasn't helpin' him
bit. He could do more with one
finger If he would learn al just exact
1y what position the clutch pedal
actually releases the clutch.
IF YOU shift from low to second
the idea is TO get the engine runnin'
slower with respect TO the speed of
the transmission drive shaft. the pro-
peilor shaft and the rear wheels. But
you can't slow up your engine quick
lI unless YOU try some trick business:
therefore, YOU release the engine and
make the gear change with the clutch
driving the main gear Opinion gear
Of the transmission. If you wait too
long in the process the clutch comes
TO rest and hesitates to allow the
gear combination to be changed. If
you try to shift too soon. as you do
when YOU force the gears into sec
ond' when the clutch is not fully re-
leased. the clutch and main driving
scar are turnin' too fast.
The same sort of reasoning 3p-
plies when you shift from second to
high. in which case you've got to
slow down the engine and clutch
still farther. But when you shift
down from high to second you
reverse the process Get your speed

X-Raying a Prophecy.

The announcement that production
for the year will reach 100000 new
cars and trucks seems To worry
lot of people who cannot see what
we are going to do with this enor-
nous increase in membership of the
motoring clan. Three million more
ears" they eXclaim. And traffic is
already a serious problem.
Calm reason refuses to become
alarmed. There may he 100000 new
cars sold. but there will not be 3,o0o.-
"pS more cars on the streets. Nor
100000. If history means anything.
there probably will be 1.500, 900 more
cars to worry about; and most Of
these. il should he recalled. viii be
sold TO people living outside the large
cities.
In 1921 production reached 1880
600 while registrations increased from
9.llS.000 10 100000. or $4,000. a
little more than une-haif of the
years production. In 1872 produc-
tion reached @.521 900. lille reeistra-
tfons went ahead approximately l.
100000. The increase in the pro
portion of registrations to production
was largely due TO Improvement in
business conditions. intensive selling.
and revival of the under-a-thou-
sand dollars class of cars.
Business is still improving, as DEM
onStrated by the recent income tax
returns. but there should he great
many more cars for the junk heap
this year. The increase production
of cheap cars means shorter lives for
machines and quicker replacement
sales. Much OF this will come into
evidence within the next few months.
There also will h. the usual percen-
tage of requirements. which in the
past has averaged from d third to
half of the annual production. For
about 100000 of the new cars sold
this year, therefore. one will find an
equal number passing into the OBJ
HNion of the junk heap. where the
traffic problem is as foreign as Sans
krit.

Climbing and Timing.

When your car does some remarks.

high don't be too ready to lavish
praise upon il: there may be some
thing wrong with it.
Bear this in mind: II the engine
pulls exceptionally well when being
driven uphill slowly it should pull
equally well when driven fast. If
it's power seems to be confined to
slow pulling you're not likely to be
wrong in suspecting that the timing
is late.
Late timing will improve slow hill

Using Ore,

Iron ore, found in northwestern
Louisiana, has proved of great value
in road building in that state, and. in
some localities where It has been used
has effected saving of $4,000 to
$4,000 mile in the cost of construc-

TUBE REPAIR KIT VITAL.

Probably one of the most important
accessories for every motorist to have
IN his car is tube repair kit. 1t is
very much like life insurance, in that
it is no good at all until needed.
When it is needed it is Indispensable.
This fact is particularly true when
tires are punctured many miles from
any repair station. Considering the
kits small cost. Miller tire men say
1t is the cheapest insurance possible
against country road delays and ex-
