LACK OF SHOULDERS
is COSTLY TO ROADS
Forces Drivers to Avoid Using
That Portion Near Edges,
Horner Points Out.

American highways are less than
half used. but American car owners
pay for as much maintenance as
though they enjoyed full use of the
roads, according to Stanley Horner,
local Buick dealer, discussing the
habits of drivers in relation to the use
OF the roads.
In most roads that require rebuild
Ing or resurfacing. he declares. the
edges and the centers are virtually
unused. In his opinion the situation
Is such that the motoring public
through the method of building roads
and the habits of drivers. is paying
for millions of dollars worth of high
way that is never really used.
ShouIdering Is Inadequate.
Because the shoulders Of most fine
roads are inadequate Mr. Horner
explains, 1T is necessary for thetaver-
age driver to keep at least Pa feet
from the edge of the pavement. The
Department Of Agriculture has also
discovered that over the typical 1S-
foot road the normal clearance be-
tween vehicles passing each other is
19 feet. Then there is the space be-
tween the outer and inner wheels of
cars. which is also virtually unused
except in emergencies.
with better shoulders on the roads
drivers could afford to drive nearer
the edges with safety, and thus use
portions of the roads which seldom
wear out, assuming that the roads are
properly built or maintained. With
stronger construction along the
tracks where the roads receive their
hardest wear, roads could-be made to
la st until the Nation gets some return
on Its investment in those sections Of
the roads which are not wasted
From the motorists standpoint
much can be accomplished by break
ing the habit of following the leader
and driving in imaginary tracks. He
should drive up nearer the center of
the road when conditions permit and
learn to drive nearer the shoulder
when the edges are in good condition "

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS:

That steerin' wheel on your car can
steer you out of trouble as well as out
of danger. I've got plenty of evi-
dence around this shop that thousands
OF motorists steer right into mechan-
tcal problems when they could just as
we'll avoid them.
First there are the fellows who run
into all the holes in the road just be-
cause the car is equipped with bal.
loon tires. They aim for roads they
wouldn't go over with high pressure
cords, and. SO far as ! can see, it just
balloons their repair bills. Cars that
wouldn't develop squeaks in a year
of runnin' start to worry their own
ers In months time. I've even had
lot Of jobs where l had to repair
and adjust the spring control devices.
Ordinarily these things pretty well
take care of themselves.

always keep too far over to the ditch,

MAKING A QUICK START.
Three-Stage Plan Faster if These
Rules Are Followed.

Here is: rule for starting cars
out of TO- assuming you want to get
off to the quickest start with the least
strain on the battery:
Open the throttle one-ha1f way and
step on the starter button, allowing
the engine to crank over few times.
This limbers up the bearings, which
stiffen with the CONCEALED Oil in the
crank case. Opening the throttle SO
wide lowers suction resistance and
allows the pistons to move up-and
down more easily. Then reduce the
throttle opening to quarters
pull the choker out all the way and
again step on the starter button. AL
low the engine to turn over few
times and then switch on the ignition
Push choker in half way when engine
starts. Making three distinct steps in
the starting process may seem like
profonging the agony, but just try it,
Be sure to give the battery and starter
rest between stages l and .. Just
a few seconds will do.

Rather Than Improve Lubri rica tion.

If you have been shopping for a
new car it is not likely you have
escaped having your attention called
to the oil holes under the groove of
the lowest piston ring of at least one
of the engines you inspected. The
salesman. in all probability, referred
to these as the oil return holes, per-

the thing is to provide more direct

connecting rod bearings. This is the
