aealed condition of the lubricant
and it's reluctance to circulate ef-
fectively, not the actual pressure
on the bearings, that causes the
trouble known as a burned bearing.
The wisest, course, therefore 10 to
aim to run the engine slowly, rum
ming It twice as far in the same
distance by running the car very
slowly In second gear. But he does
not know 1t IL speed, and not bear
ing pressure, that causes expense
in careless starting.
The car owner with an abundance
OF confidence In his method Of
being kind to his car Is very likely
to employ false economies in at
tempting to save wear and tear
on certain units.
Sparing the Battery.
Much trouble originates from try
ing to spare the battery, experience
reveals. One habit is to choke
the carburetor an instant just be-
fore the engine comes to a dead
stop and after switching off the
ignition. This gives a snappy start
after the car has stood for few
hours because 1t means that there
is some unburned gas vapor in one
OF the cylinders under compression.
But there lis also some additional
gas to dilute the cranh-
case lubricant and to cause sticky
valves. That changes the picture
somewhat.

being made to pull the car while
it's shaft is turning slowly.
Wise Drivers Practice.
Knowing this, the wise driver
attempts to get up q little speed
to maintain that speed all the way
up rather than make the engine
pull hard at q lower engine and car
speed. A car with q high gear
ratio Of "a. travelling twenty miles
an hour with an actual rear wheel
diameter Of S3H inches, will require
the engine to rotate $40 times per
minute. Now, il the driver makes
the usual shift to second gear he
will, In all probability, allow the car
to slow down to five miles an hour
before letting In the clutch and
allowing the engine to take II
easy"
What happens? The engine speed
falls down below 800 revolutions
per minute. which Is too low for
power. The engine commences to
hammer. and while it soon picks up
to a safe speed. the damage done
during the shifting process and di-
rectly after is actually greater than
had the driver keep the car in
high" even II the car speed had
fallen to fifteen miles an hour, Tor
then the engine would have been
rotating 600 revolutions per min
ute.
-Somewhera the car owner has
learned that 1t is wrong to drive
with q retarded spark, but his
schooling failed to warn him against
the equally injurious habit of driv-
ing with the spark too far adj
vanced.
There is still another brand Of
driver who seems to think that the
spark should be left in one position
for all driving purposes, except in
cranking. This Is all taken as
mark OF good ownership, but records
from the service stations would
seem to indicate quite the reverse.
Too Much Confidence.
The motorist with too much con-
fidence in his system of caring for
for the car is likely to be the sort
to imagine he is saving the engine
a burned bearing by driving along
fast in second gear when the engine
is cold, rather than to run In high
and take his chances on little an
noyances in starting. 1t 10 the con-

.sThis is so, not only because Of

members Of the board Of under

Nine men at the garage observe

REALTORS TO FIGHT
NEW D. c. RENT BILL
Washington Board Assigns
Five Reasons Why Proposed
/ Measure Is Opposed.

Further opposition to the proposed
fent bill for the District was evident
today when the Washington Real Es-
tate Board officially took steps to
fight the measure.
With the building owners and man
Rgers instigating a Nation wide op-
position, the Washington Real Estate
Board started its opposition with an
appeal to all members, who are, in
turn, asked to get the assistance of
their property owners and clients in
preventing the passage of the pend
ing bill
Reasons for Opposing Measure.
The five following reasons for the
action of the Real Estate Board were
sent in the communications to it's
members:
/. 1--WE believe that there is no
need for further legislation of this
character.
2. THE proposal is a radical as
tity of contracts.
8. such legislation will impose
tremendous hardships on property
owners and their agents.
4. The results of this legislation
will seriously affect our business the
interests of our clients and our citys
welfare.
>. Legislation of this character is
dangerous and will undoubtedly lead
TO more laws designed to further en-
croach on legitimate business of all
kinds"
John A. Petty, executive secretary
OF the board, stated today that here
1ofore the board had taken no action
as an organization against any rental
legislation, but because of the feel
ing that the proposed bill would de-
prive property owners of their rights
and control Of their property decision

the total available for the next fiscal
year viii be larger, as the committee
reappropriated s1,500,OO0 carried over
from the present year.
This increase, the report declared
was necessary to prevent a reduction
OF the personnel of the guard from
, its present strength of 1S7, 900 to about
| l37 500. The budget figure, it added,
would not have been sufficient to care
for additional pay and allowance to
the guard and the increased expenses
brought about by large attendance at
camps and armory drills.

$4,000 since February, 1924.

Training Corps. Citizens military
training camps also would be allot-
ted the budget estimate of $2,320, 600.
Although the bill recommended

work, the committee report said that
by including the uneXpended balance
of the current appropriation, approx
mately s94.50O,O00 would be available
for this purpose. The amount was
recommended in a lump sum, and no
particular projects were specified
Total expenditures for the present
year averaged approximately $4,000
600 per month, the report added.
