No. 102-Viewing New Models.

Like every one else who owns a car,
or who hopes to own one, Smith every
now and again began to look over
the new models seriously, comparing
their relative merits. prices and one
thing or another. on this particular
occasion l found him dangerously
near the point of cashing in for a
gaudy looking affair which was be-
decked with every known accessory.
The salesman, of course. wouldn't
have considered the probable step as
dangerous, because the chances are
10 to ! that he was sold on the car
he was trying to dispose OF and-like
many of his customers-blind to some
of the facts which made such a car

Smith out of the salesroom OH a pre-.

mits. saved him loss which many
or his contemporaries have had to take.
Still Looked Good.
My purpose in taking him away
from the salesroom was to ask him
to gaze upon his own car, which was
now two years old. with the request
that he tell me exactly what there
was about the machine that kept it
looking strictly up to date. He had
taken particularly good care of the
finish, but naturally two years of all
weather riding had dulled it consid-
erably. Yet the car still looked good

look, it hasn't got these new head
lights, the wheels are conventional
and there's hardly any nickel on the
car. Furthermore. she hasn't got a
cowl ventilator, the radiator isn't
nickeled. there isn't any trunk rack
and look at these old-fashioned run
ming boards! Why. she's a good two
years behind the times-more out of
date than I imagined. Yet she looks
about as good as anything on the
street. She wouldn't exactly do for a
show car, but when you look at her

DEALERS ARE SEEN
AS LAW TEACHERS
Acts as Liaison Between Car
Driver and Authorities,
P. B. Lum Says.

The automobile dealer in the role of
intermediary between the District au-
thorities and the public was described
by Paul r. Lum, president of the
Washington Automotive Trade Asso-
citation, in pointing out that motorists
may look to their dealers for aid in
interpreting the new traffic regula-
tions.
Although it is apparent that a ma
Jority of automobile drivers have not
taken the trouble to read the new
regulations, there appears to be
Willingness on the part of most of
them. according to Mr.. Lum. to con-
form to the law. This is evident, he
says, by the large number of car
owners who have had their automo
hlles inspected and adjusted to meet
the requirements with respect to
lights, brakes, horns and other equip
ment.
Dealer Is Teacher
The automobile dealer is perform
ing most useful function in the
community at this time. aside from
his commercial activity" Mr. Lum
said, in educating the motorist to the
necessity of observing the traffic regu-
iations. More than so per cent Of the
cars inspected within the last few
weeks were found TO have had defec-
tive lights or poorly adjusted brakes.
Many of the owners were surprised at
the maladjustment of these parts, but
expressed a desire to have the inspec-
ton of their lights and brakes here
after as much part of the routine of
car care as crankcase attention.
Many drivers apparently have not
read the new regulations, and the
dealers are cooperating with the
director of traffic in helping the motor
lists TO become better acquainted with
the requirements of the new law.
Many drivers are not aware of the
fact that single. cautionary hand sig
nal has been authorized to displace the
three hand signals formerly in use.
IT is not uncommon, after six weeks
of the new regulations, to see driver
crooking his arm to right angle to
denote a right hand turn, thus dis
playing the fact that he is unfamiliar
with the new regulations.
There appears to be considerable
confusion also with respect to the

WHEN GEARS SLIP BACK.
Lapses Into Neutral Held Due to
Shifter Forks.

When the gears acquire the habit Of
slipping back into neutral from high
or second the trouble is due to the
shifter forks. If they are worn the
gears will not always be fully enga ged
and where there is considerable strain
or vibration tas in climbing a steep
hill in second) it will be necessary to
hold the shift lever in the desired
position.
Misalignment of the forks will often
cause the gears to slip back to neutral
from any position, particularly annoy
ing in the case of slippage from high
to neutral when descending grades.
IL the trouble is confined to the latter.
and is slight. it can often be overcome
by avoiding sudden application of
power or brakes, and by gentle han
ding of the clutch.

Warning Against Too Little Brake
Band Clearance.

Some idea OF what it means to make
the mistake of allowing too little
brake band clearance may be had from
the fact that at 500 degrees Fahren-
heit expansion will cause brake drum
to expand as much as so thousandths
In other words, should you heat up
the brakes by applying them too long
on hill they will keep on locking
themselves even after you take your
foot off the pedal.
Many times you have condemned the
man ahead of you on the downgrade
because you thought he was keeping
his foot on the brake pedal too long,
whereas he really started to burn out
the Innings when he adjusted the
bands too tight back at the garage.
