Motorists are told to open the
throttle wide when goin' downhill
with the ignition off as this helps in
crease the compression and retard
the speed of the car. But If you do
this II stands to reason that the
exhaust manifold. pipe and muff1er
will be filled with unburned gas at
the bottom of the hill. which is the
time you usually switch on the ig-
milton again. Then you may have a
fine muller explosion.
To avoid this just remember to
close the throttle few seconds be-
fore switchin' on the ignition so that
the exhaust system is cleaned out.
Also it Is well to slip the clutch a
moment as the switch is turned.
When the engine Is turnin' over at
such high speed a spark arrivin' a
trifle late in any cylinder that is al
ready in it's firm cycle may cause
direct explosion through the open
exhaust port and out through the
muffier even though there is no ac-
emulation of gas.

May Aid Steam Car

AS a result of the invention and
success of the mercury boiler new
interest may be taken in the future
possibilities of the steam car. The
principle of the mercury boiler is
that mercury. directly boiled above
the fire pit, gives off not merely
power vapor but actually boils water
with this super-heated vapor. Thus
more power is developed with greatly
increased efficiency. 1t may be that
this revolution in power develop
ment may give the steam car The
impetus it has needed for a long
time. At least it should keep the
engineers busy trying to improve the
gas engine. and the motorist benefits
in either case.

roads were completed in the fiscal

Interesting Situation

When the insurance conference
decided not to make any reduction
in the collision and property damage
rates for cars equipped with four
wheel brakes it was predicted that
any non-union company that grant
ed reductions would be swamped
with claims. But the first of the
nom union companies to encourage
the use of the new brakes has just
announced that it has increased the
property damage rate credit from 5
to 10 per cent. 1t is conceded that
such credits are granted in order to
attract business, but an increase in
credit percentage would seem to
indicate that the particular insurers
are satisfied as to the advantage of
the new brakes. On the other hand
there are those who believe that the
winter use of four wheel brakes
may necessitate a revision of these
credits. or at least a revision to the
extent of stipulating the more desir-
able types of four wheel brakes.
possibly barring some types from
credit reductions. The situation is
interesting, and car owners are
urged to give it their best thought,
uninf1uenced by rumor and prejudice.

autos Not Allowed"

There are still many park drives
where Burmuda's idea Of barring
motor cars continues to maintain a
stronghold despite the overwhelming
popularity OF the automobile and Its
ability to explore every corner of
the earth.
But whatever your views happen
to be In regard to the matter there
is a lesson to be learned from the
mere fact that this condition still
exists. Apparently automobiles are
not barred because they tear up the
roads. but because the people who
drive them frequently make them
selves Objectionable.
Park authorities who bar motor
cars say that the first thing the
motorist does when admitted to some
particularly fine bit Of cultivated
land Is to park his car on the grass
ana proceed to take liberties with
the privilege accorded him. He
winds up by having a picnic. leaving
the debris strewn in every direction
He gets careless and gums up
the road with collision. He
tries to pass everyone, scatter
ing dust over the foliage and max
Ing the day miserable for everyone
else.
Maybe the average motorist needs
little brushing up in the matter
of decorum. Anyway 1t wouldn't do
any harm to think a bit whenever
he sees the warning, Autos Not

That starting difficulties can often

general neglect of the engine? Spark
plugs that need cleaning. a weakened
battery. valves that stick open or

ditions and a choke lever that has
slipped a little so that 1t does not
