Any driver who capnot forget the
tension Of traffic or drop the stress
Of hurried driving simply doesn't
derive one OF the most important
benefits from his car. Nobody
these days expects d nnotorist to
don goggles, buster ana gauntIets,
and pleasure ride as he did in the
good old days, but surely the man
who sits in luxury behind the
wheel Of car which requires no
physical effort to drive is not
getting the most out Of his
motoring.
It used to be the usual thing for
d physician to prescribe driving a
car for the nerve-racksd business
man, but today this remedy is not
so, freely recommended because in
too many instances owners use
their machines as a means of
carrying on the mad rush. The
recreatINe- value Of the sport be-
comes lost in the utility value of

this naturally suggests the prophecy
that unless modern motorists use
their cars q little more for pure

of a car Is a step toward q broader

were not told that motoring Is also

Naturally very large number of

Many drivers who have exper.

that they cannot make good time

KNOCK NOT
SERNONETTE
TOPIC
Service Station May Soon Be
Needed, w. A. T. A. Says
For Critics of Autos

prepared by the Washington
Automotive Trade Association)
Pretty soon it may be necessary
to establish service stations where
car owners can get rid Of their
tendency to knock.
It's getting to be rather serious.
A lot of people are knocking so
badly that it is beginning to tear
them loose from their supports. It's
even knocking themselves.
They knock every make Of car
on the market. They knock the
dealers. They knock the service
stations. They even knock their
friends for having such bad judg-
ment as to buy cars that they want.
Worst Of all, too many motorists
are knocking the industry, just as
though there would be any ad-
vantage in having the business go
back to its two-by-four dimensions
OF yesteryear. The man who
knocks the automobile business Is
in danger of burning bearing. He
may wake up SOME day to find
very little choice in cars and those
only to be had at fancy figures.
We can have competition without
knocking. The better statesmen
have long since discovered that.
The more makes Enere are on the
market the better it is for the
motorist, for he has a wider choice
and he enjoys the advantage Of
competition. But when he knocks
everything at random he is under
mining the whole structure.
story, and If motorist thinks a
certain car or a certain service
station is not for him all he has to
do Is try another. He can't afford
TO knock his friends because they
don't do likewise. He may be all
wrong himself. The perfect motor
list Is still a dream.
