Were it possible it would gladly re

ates the kindly feeling and good will
of those who took part and made this
campaign such a success and appre-

more or less. There is a wonderful
satisfaction in that though we try
for a goal and miss-our efforts were

himself will soon get accustomed to
any changes in pedal positions, or of
the controls, that were made neces-

You can't disturb any part of an
automobile without in some way af-

the effect isn't so favorable, but it's
usually just temporary matter. And

Lessons From Accidents

Lessons From Accidents
Now and again a skidding accident
teaches a new lesson in addition to
the old one about the ounce of pre-
vention which is always apropos.
This was clearly illustrated in a re-
Gent upset.
The motorist had, been driving
over an extremely level portion of
the country with little traffic to
bother him and and with virtually no
need for coming to a definite stop.
1t was wet underfoot, but there was
little about the general conditions TO
suggest necessity for proceeding
with more than usual caution.
Once or twice he had occasion to
slow down at an intersecting road or
when awaiting an opportunity TO
overtake a slowly moving vehicle.
He used the brakes very little. And,
rs a matter of fact, that was the
trouble. When he finally did have
to bring the car to sudden halt
he found that one of the rear brake
bands did not hold tightly att ALL
The other wheel locked. 1t surpris-
I'd him so that he was not quick
enough in releasing the brakes nor
to offset the skid by steering in the
direction in which the car was slid
ing.
1t was the element Of surprise that
dnnerved him. Had he made a few
test stops en- route he would have dis
powered that his brakes were out of
adjustment. and, he probably would
have known how to handle the stu
alton when a real stop was neces-
9ary

Warming Up In Second

Running car in second gear in
order to warm up the engine has
never been seriously recommended to
the average driver because of the
natural tendency to race the motor
in this way, thus adding what might
be even more serious hazards. But
the conscientious driver who knows
something of the intimate workings
of the engine will profit by running
about a block slowly in second gear
when starting off cold. He will uti-
lie the second speed gear, not as an
opportunity to make a quick get
away, but rather as means of
examining two blocks of normal run
ming into one. With the engine run
ming approximately twice as fast. a
block of running will be the equiva-
lent of running two blocks in high
and with less strain on the engine.
The trick of it, however, is to run
half as fast as you would if starting
off in high. Remember that it isn't
the speed of the engine but the dis
lance it's pistons travel that counts

IS THE DRIVER OR PEDES-
TRAN TO BLAME?
BY ERWIN GREER
president Greer College OF
Autom0tive Engineering)


Automotive Engineering)
Who Is to blame for the numer-
GUS accidents reported every day in
the papers, the automobile driver
or the pedestrian?
The correct reply is 'both."
There are many careless drivers
who violate every common sense
rule and there are thoughtless ped
estrians who blindly walk directly
In front Of machine, trusting in
Providence to save them. If the
majority Of pedestrians were not
naturally careful when crossing a

That it's cold rather than heat
that encourages the collection of car
bon in the cylinders? Most motor
lists seem to- be under the impression
that the long, hot run is the carbon
breeder, whereas the guilty party is
the short run when the engine is
burning more fuel than it would nor
mally need. thus leaving more resi-
due.
That these So-called return oil
leads, or holes, under the lower ring
of certain types of pistons are of
little value as piston pin oilers as
compared with their function of low
erins the oil pressure? The name is
somewhat misleading, for while these
holes allow the piston to scrape off
some of the excess oil on the cylin-
der wall and return it to the crank
case by way of the piston pin they
are chiefly valuable as a means of
reducing oil pressure to a point
where it will not be so likely to
force past the rings and up into the
cylinder.

These gasoline guages on the in

owners a lot of unnecessary worry.
One owner thought he was being
cheated because whenever he bought
five gallons of gas as the guage

new fuel seldom brought the guage
up to Ten. He figured that five
gallons added to five should register
more than nine. and certainly SEEM
