Ventilating the Car.

The, ultra-moderns claim that there
Is no such thing as catching cold
from sitting in. a draft. and that as
a consequence it makes little differ
ence- how the windows are opened In
a closed car: But motorists are catch
ing cold every, day as a result of
carefessness In the way windows are
opened, and tt,would seem practical
to use a little system in han
ding the windows of the closed car.
Drafts usually originate when win
dows are opened In staggered FASH
ion. the wind sweeping crosswise
through the car. Lowering Of the
windows from the top Is sometimes
conducive to neuralgia. while lower
Ing a window full .'often causes too
much cold air to blow directly upon
the driver or his passengers. If pos
sible, IL is' best in warm weather to
open all the windows; while II there
Is much wind the car can be well
ventilated without danger of draft by
closing one entire side and opening
the other. To keep the car comfort
able in cold weather, and If there are
no passengers in the rear, the open
ing of a rear window is suggested.
1t requires a little study to know
just how to ventilate your car prop
erly, but It's better to experiment a
little than to assume that you have
got to be uncomfortable and then
come down with a cold.

.INCREASEDSPEEDS
BECOMING SAFER
Better Roads and Simpler
Cars May Throw Present
Rules in Discard.

How automobile highway traffic
will be safer at forty miles an hour
than 1t now is at twenty-five is a
new subject of discussion among au-
tomobile men and motor vehicle au-
thorities. 1t is generally believed
that the raising of the speed limits
In many sections of the country fore
casts fewer and fewer restrictions
on speed, and that the increased
safety of higher speeds today presages
the time when forty to sixty miles an
hour will be far safer than the
nominal highway speeds of today.
Capt. Harry NJ. Horton. local auto
mobile dealer and former aviator, in
speaking from the manufacturers
standpoint. claims that speed Is a
relative conception at best. and that
by changing the conditions under
which motor. cars operate it is pos
sible to double the speed and at the
same time decrease the hazard.
Improved Highways.
"The radical Improvement in high
ways is one of the most striking
examples of this" Capt. Horton says.
"The modern concrete roads, with
their smooth surface, generous width,
straight layout ana absence OF steep
hiIls offer an element of safety that
greatly exceeds that afforded by
slower driving. A motorist himself
might travel slowly over the winding
narrow. hilly roads of few years
ago, but that would not protect him
from the reckless driver who might
be driving over the same road at an
inappropriate speed.
For an accident on broad con-
crete highway a greater amount of
recklessness or misjudgment is re-
Quired. Thus a careful motoriSt can
travel At a good rate of speed. know
ing that there is far less danger
of trouble from the other fellow.
Cars Steer Better.
1.-THE increase in car control is just
another one of the factors which rem
ders higher speed safer, and the in
crease in braking capacity is but one
of these. The new cars steer easier.
accelerate quicker, hold the road bet
ter, and. in general, control better
all around.
Just the element of safety in tires
make higher speed safer than ever
before. A car was hardly safe at
twenty-five miles an hour when a
front wheel blowout was an ever
present possibility.
sin considering higher speeds it
must be remembered that drivers are
becoming more and more expert
enced. They know better how to
handle their cars. and with better
cars and safer roads the matter of
higher speed is the natural conse-
quence.
Even those who have never felt
that they were adapted to the re-
possibilities of driving a car now
find that they have less difficulty
driving safely and with the ease of
mind that makes for safety. This is
simply because the manufacturers are
adding every convenience for SIM
plifying the process of properly hand
ling car.
Increased highway speed is there
fore the natural consequence. and it
should not be long before those who
look upon the subject broadmindedly
will see that, in comparison to the
safety afforded the motorist at forty
miles an hour, the former speeds of
fifteen, twenty and twenty-five were
highly unsafe and genuinely reck-
less"

Keep This in Mind.

When grease starts working out at
the right brake band the tendency Is
to assume that there is too much lubri-
cant In the differential, whereas the
leakage is a cue to add more. 1t means
that the lubricant Is excessively thin
and that. being thin, 1t has leaked or is
in process of leaking out. Unless there
Is something wrong with the washer
and the leakage has been excessive the
remedy Is to pack the differential with
fresh grease, and, Of course, drive more
toward the center of the road SO that
the rear axle will be more on the level.
