CLIMBING EMPTIES TANK.
Going Up Hill in High Slowly Is
DANGEROUS.

Most people run up hills faster than
necessary, probably because they alb
hor the job of shifting. but running
too slowly can be troublesome in a
way that few car owners suspect.
Running the engine slowly up a long,
easy hill is very likely to empty the
gasoline vacuum tank. This may scent
to contradict the rule regarding the
automatic reilling of a vacuum tank,
which instructs the motoriSt to run
the motor with the throttle closed to
the idling position, so that the engine
sucks heavily through the vacuum
suction tube.
In order to run slowly up hill in high
gear it is necessary to keep the throt
tie pretty well open. In other words,
suction for the vacuum system is con-
Siderably reduced at the same time
that a lot of gas is being drawn from
the vacuum tank.

LIFE OF CAR HELD
. AS LONG AS EVER
Semmes Scouts Theory That
Scrapping Is Increasing
Faster Than Production.

Contrary to popular belief, the
destruction of automobiles is not in
creasing faster than production.
Figures to support this contention
are offered by Raphael Semmes. local
Dodge dealer.
According to Mr.. Semmes, motorists
are getting just as much use from
their cars as they ever did, there
being no figures to support the opin
ion that because production is run
ming at a high rate people are scrap
ping their old cars prematurely.
The destruction of cars follows the
production very closely" he explains
The parallel is SO close that last
wear. when there was falling off in
production there was also a falling
off in the elimination of cars. In 1924
production of cars and trucks was
3.6l7,602 as against 4,0S6,997 in 1928
while the elimination of cars de
creased from 1,233,195 in 1928 to
l.117,79S in 1924.
Elimination Follows Production.
There is, therefore, no ground for
the belief that the destruction of cars
IS increasing faster than production
AS a matter of fact, there is every
evidence to support the belief that
the elimination of cars SO closely
follows the production as to suggest
the influence on the latter by the
former.
In 1919 only a little over a hall
million cars were junked, and in the
following year production increased
but II per cent over 1919. The rela
ton between production and elimina
ton of cars has, of course, always
been complicated by reason of the
periodic stimulation of production
through the opening up of new
channels of demand. We are in the
midst of such a period at present
and, therefore, production cannot be
accurately propheSied, but the record
of the past seems to indicate that the
production boom is not due to any
tendency to give up old cars pre-
maturely. More people are buying
cars-a decided contrast to the mis-
taken notion that the same motorists
are buying more cars.

minimum rate of speed The ground
for his stand is his belief that it is not
speed. but recklessness that causes
accidents. He advocates d minimum
speed law for Sundays and holidays to
expedite the movement of traffic.
The point of view of policemen re.
garding traffic violations was severely
criticized by Commissioner Mackall

force, from commissioner to patrol
man, what is e cause of accidents
and he will say speed" declared Com

No. 103-Renewing the Insurance

When Smith returned to the office
after car.shopping expedition he
found a notice on his desk from his
insurance agent. 1t stated that his
policies covering the old car would
expire the following day. This was
the second notice Of this nature
Smith had received, but it was the
first that had brought him face to
face with the fact that it was time to
give the insurance feature of his
motoring a little thought.
That very day he had seen an ar
ticle in the newspaper which seemed
to tie up his insurance problem, for
it told of a judgment in favor of a
father who sued motorist for $50, 900
for injury to the formers child. The
court handed down a verdict of
$25 900. The account stated the de-
fendant was covered by insurance
only to the extent of $1,000.
Smith sat up and took notice.
How much liability insurance am
l carrying on my carr" he asked his
stenographer.
Smith Increases Protection.
After a search through the safe the
girl return to his desk with the infor.
nation that the policy was a To-
90 meaning that it covered Smith
for Judgment of $4,000 in case of
injury or death of one person, or $780,
600 for two or more.
Smith reflected a moment and then,
handing the insurance agents notice
over to the stenogra pher, said: Tell
him to renew the insurance at once
but to change the liability coverage
to a 20-30.'
Five minutes later Smith broke into
rhythmic clicking of the typewriter
yxrif I1Il oh bot
business, Miss Blank. Thatn cost me
more money, and I've just been re-
minded that I've got two new tires to
buy. Suppose you get the agent on
the phone and I'll talk to him.
Additional Cost Small.
ut will cost only a few dollars
more" the agent explained. It's the
cheapest insurance against trouble
that you can carry. Many motorists
are carrying much higher limits and
if you read the newspapers carefully
you'll agree that it pays. Twenty
thirty, however, is about right for
you. When a man is known about
town as a millionaire any suits
against him are more likely to be the
very limit
But you say my fire and theft
premium will be little higher, too"
Smith argued. You see, I've got to
go easy somewhere. The question is
where"
That's easy enough" the other
replied. Cut down on the forms of
insurance that represent. limited loss
and go strong with the unlimited
kind. The maximum damage to your
car by reason of collision, for ex-
ample, is definite. Your car is worth
SO much; you can buy one just as
good for a definite sum. Therefore. if
your car were a complete wreck the
loss couldn't exceed the definite
known amount. The same applies to
having it stolen, burned, or ruined by
flood. tornado or lightning. But if
your car has collision with another
vehicle, or with two machines, or in
jures some one, the amount of the loss
is indefinite. 1t may land you in the
poorhouse."
''Insuring" Mrs. Smith.
i This reminded Smith he was teach
ing Mrs. Smith the art of plotting d
motor car. and it suggested to him
that possibly Mrs. Smith might mis-.

Hood Tells the Story.

There is no need to speculate as to
whether the body of the car is made of
iron or of aluminium. Just lift the
hood. An aluminium hood is like a
