They're Running Wild.

one can hardly blame car owners
for lacking spirit. Consider the dis
SenSion in the automobile industry
among officials and the cross pur-
poses at which they work. one of the
biggest motor associations is knock

clareS is foolish plan that has been
adopted with regard to the impound-
ing of cars driven by reckless motor
lists. Almost without exception the
supposedly big people in the business
are falsely taking the credit for ideas
being put forward by the progressive
people in motordom, just for the pub
licity they can get out of il.
Inconsistency is running wild one

ing the advantages of good four wheel
brakes over the two-Wheel variety a
war has been declared between ad-
vorates of the two general types of
four-whcel brakes.
When one adds to this the fact that
State motor. vehicle departments, in
many instances, are slamming each
other, how can one expect much in
the way of cooperation among mo-
torists themselves? There was a

Be Sure You Know.

motoriSt has right to be
puzzled when dealer gives as the
reason for lack of snap in a motor
the fact that it is set up partIcu-
larly tight and, in the same breath.
adds that with such d carefully built
motor you can drive the car 80 miles
an hour when new without damage.
Here is the motor both timber and
tight at the same time. SO, How
Gomez"
There are two varieties of engine
"tightnesS." On one hand you have
tight and carefully fitted bearings
that tend to keep the engine from
spinning over freely. On the other
hand you have tight pistons that
have not been run up and down in
their cylinders long enough to resist
binding at speeds of over % miles
an hour.
In the former the cylinders have
been Tapped in to point where bind
ing is not likely at normal road
speeds. In the latter the bearings
may not be so stiff and there is a
natural temptation to accelerate too
quickly for the good of the cylinders.
BE sure you know which class your
new car falls into.

with a fair degree of accuracy the
number of whole days one has spent
at the wheel of his present car:
First read the odometer to get the
total number of miles Travelled. Then
divide by 20. Assuming that your
average speed while using the car is
20 miles an hour. this Will show you
the number of hours you have spent
at the wheel of your car.
divide this figure by "a to find
the number of whole days you have
operated your car. To find the total
number of whole days of motoring
per year simply divide the total mile
age by the number of months you
have owned the car and multiply
by 10.
Suppose the odometer reads 90.
900 miles and you have motored 20
months. You are then motoring at
the rate of 1900 miles year
Dividing this figure by 90. you find
that you are motoring 500 hours
year, or "a days and hours if you
motored consecutive hours and days.
"These figures are not unusual,
thus showing that every year many
people accomplish the equivalent of
motoring all day and night for al
most an entire month

Two Parking Pointers.

If some one is vacating a parking
space on d narrow one-way street and
you cannot wait for the procedure
because street car is signaling for
you to get out of the way. try the
plan of stopping for moment on the
opposite side Of the street until the
street car and the other machine are
out of the way.
Always park your car equidistant
between the machine in front and the
one behind. 1t prevents the possi-
bility of having some one lock" you
in if one of the cars pulls away and
another takes it's place. If you leave
all your spare at the rear of your
car, for instance, the next driver
parking in the rear may drive up
close and never think to see whether
you have any room i'll front of your
car.
