Commentaries.

Its strange thing that the most
serious accidents occur on what one
would ordinarily consider the safest
roads. Accidents which occur on mar
row, winding country roads are com
paratively rare, yet every minute Of
the day some one is causing trouble
on the boulevards and the concrete
highways. Apparently danger has
some advantages.
The new motto runs: Marry em
young, treat 'em rough and tell 'em
nothing about how to drive the car"
A car on the road is worth two in
the ditch.
Every minute lost is life saved
Don't excuse yourself with tho
idea that you might as we'll have a
good time speeding while you live.
You get a speedy auto ride Just the
same after you're dead nowadays.
Once a speeder, il doesn't always
follow that one is always a speeder
The hardest thing about driving is
getting it through your head that il
isn't soft"

When the car is out of the cold and
the glass windows suddenly cover
with mist don't make the mistake Of
deciding that it's good time to rub,
dry the glass. cleaning it simultane-
ously. Use water for that job. The
mist may give enough moisture but
keep in mind that If you rub the glass
dry you're also rubbing in a lot Of
gritty dust which should be gently
washed off first.
Don't drive in the ruts. II simply
means that you're helping to make
the road impossible through cutting the
ruts to a point where a car can't get
out of them at all.
Don't forget that the engine should
be accelerated more than is custom
sry when letting in the clutch and
driving away from a point where the
car has stood in the ice and snow for
some time. The tires will tend to
stick. thus encouraging a stall.

TEST TO FIND NOISE.
Method Used in Factories Is De.
scribed.

When you suspect that the grinding
noise you hear somewhere between
the engine and the rear end is located
in the transmission try factory test
to make sure about it, Hold your ear
to the gearshaft lever while running
the motor with the clutch engaged.
In the factories this is done in a
sound-proo room with the transmits
sion operated by an electric motor To-
Gated at the other end of a shaft
which enters the room through an
opening in the wall. But such sound
proof requirements are not necessary
where the noise you hear can be
heard in ordinary running.
If there are any gears worn in the
transmission. or if a roller bearing is
worn, loose or too tight, you will hear
1t plainly through the gearshaft lever.
But before getting excited over the
condition you find try putting some
more grease in the gear box: lack of
proper fabrication may be the an
swer
