AUTO|ST5 LIVE.
MUCH Of LIFE
IN CARS
Oscar CooIican, D. c. Packard
Dealer, Figures Out
Yearly Averages

That the motoring public is living
in its automobiles is literal fact and
not figure Of speech, according to
Oscar Coolican, local Packard dealer.
The average family may seem to
motor but a few hours a day, he
says, but the sum total of their
driving over a perod Of years SHOVE
that the car makes demands upon
surprising percentage Of their
existence on earth.
Coolican has figured 1t out for
q number Of car owners and has
outlined the following method Of
determining with a fair :1egree 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 twenty. Assuming
that your average speed while using
the car Is twenty miles an hour,
this will show you the number OF
hours you have spent at the wheel
Of your car.
Divide this figure by twenty-four
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 mileage by the
number Of months you have owned
the car and multiply by twelve.
Suppose the odometer reads
10000 miles and you have motored
twenty months. You are then mo
toring at the rate of 10000 miles a
year. Dividing this figure by
twenty you find that you are
motoring sou hours a year, OF
twenty-four days and four hours il
you motored consecutive hours and

LOSS OF SECOND OCCURS
BEFORE BRAKES APPLIED

A delay averaging about half a
second was found by the Bureau of
Standards to occur between the
signal to an automobile driver to
apply the brakes and the actual ap
plication of them. During this
time a car having a speed Of thirty
miles per hour would travel a
distance Of Twenty-Five feet.
Some Of the dalay. 1t is explained,
iS accounted for by the reaction
time Of the driver. This is the
time it takes him to get an idea
into his head and to act on it. The
rest of the time Is consumed in
the acts of shifting the foot to the
brake pedal and taking up the
slack in the brake mechanism.

1t il fact that most Of the
trouble that drivers have in SHIFT
ing gears. comes when they try
to make the shift down from high
to second. Shifting up from frs,
through second and into high calls
Tor little skill and not much prac.
tice, but making the downward
shift is something else again.
Gears Easily Broken.
There is not the slightest reason
why everyone who drives car
should not make this downward
shift without difficulty and with.
out noise. Incidentally, the noise
shows that the gears are grinding
against one another, with possibly
disastrous results. 1t is entirely
possible to break tooth from one
Of the gears and it is easy to fill
the gearbox with splinters and
metallic powder, which gradually
grinds away the gears and may get
caught in ~uch q way as to throw
the shifts in the gear set out Of line.
Here is the set rule for making
q shift from high down into second.
Throw out the clutch and pull the
shift lever into neutral. Let in
the clutch again and speed up the
motor, to q point where you judge
the engine speed is about equal to
the speed at which the car is trav-
cling. Throw out the clutch, and
at the same moment throw the
! lever into second speed.
The difficulty that the beginner
has in performing this operation
quietly is in judging when the en-
CINE speed Is about equal to the
car speed. IF you get these exactly
equal you make a shift without the
slightest noise. The best plan is to
practice shifting from high to
second on level ground. You will
be surprised how quickly you will
acquire the knack of judging engine
and car speeds, so that perfect
shift results 1T only needs q little
! practice, and 1t is well worth ac-
z Quiringl
z. Afterkyon have perfected the shift
! on level ground, make It on hills,
both descending and ascending.
Second gear is one Of the most use
full in the gear box, to use as a
brake in going down hills and to
get up grades without causing the
engine to labor and knock. Get the
habit Of using second gear and you
will find that you use it more, once
ayou are able to shift into it quietly
and easily.
