WORTH REMEMBERING

Your dull finish car needs different
treatment than you formerly accord
ed your piano finish car. About all
you need is something to protect the
paint. About the best concoction to
use in this connection is a mixture
of Is parts of olive oil to one of gas
oline. Soak a piece of cheese cloth
in water. wiring dry and dip in the
polishing solution before applying it
to the body.
You disconnect one Of the battery
terminals before cleaning the engine
with kerosene as precaution
against fire. With the terminal dis
connected there is no possibility of a
short circuit while you are at work
and thus no possibility of a spark
and fire.
When greasing the car with a high
pressure system be careful in remov-
ing and attaching the dust caps that
cover the grease plug nipples. There
are fine springs in these intended to
prevent them from shaking Off.
When you remove a cap see that the
spring does not fall out.

WHY OVERLOOK VIRTUES?

Motorists who give more than
passing notice to the way other peo-
pie drive are finding that observa-
ton is valuable addition to exper-
fence. Most people are quick to
note the foolish things other persons
do when at the wheel, but somehow
overlook the acts of wisdom, few as
they may be.
One man who has averaged fifty
miles day for the past three years
as a passenger declares that in all
his riding he never heard anyone Ire
ever drove with complimenting any
other driver for neat piece OF park
ing, a clever or skilful avoidance of
q possible accident.
His host never failed to condemn
the "other fellow. he said. if the
latter happened to do anything fool
ish when at the wheel. In fact, bawl-
ing out the "other fellow" seemed to
be a regular pastime. And the man
registering the complaint never got
anything out of it because he always
assumed that he was miles ahead of
the "other fellow" in point Of eXper-
fence.
This raises the question as to just
how many opportunities are lost by
the average driver by reason of fail
ing to observe the good points dis
played by the "other fellow.
The most hasty observer cannot
help but note that a large number Of
people handle their cars exception
ally well. The point then. is: How
do they do it? What is the secret
Of their skill?
Not every parked car Is left with
one end sticking out into the line Of
moving traffic. Not every driver
who is caught in predicament has
to grab the emergency brake and
trust to luck. Not every driver who
finds himself in mud or deep snow

The latest is an instrument that
tells the driver how efficiently his
car is stopping. The device isn't on
the dashboard as yet, but that's a
minor step.
The instrument being used by po-
lice departments and service stations
at the present moment is known as
the Decelerometer, but the idea is
likely to spread rapidly inasmuch as
manufacturers with cars that have
excellent brakes will be glad to keep
the fact before the owners eyes. AT
any rate the method of stopping be-
tween given lines as a means of
testing brakes is now definitely
taboo. This new device is 50 effec-
tive and simplified that it shows the

The standard, set by a group of
Shortridge High School girls who
poured out to me their indignation
at the ungentlemanly ways of the
modern youth. is the willingness of a
young man to endure the agonies
of standing on a street car, that
his schoolgirl associates may sit.
But, if Butler has the advantage,
thus far, in the actual number of
young men known definitely to rise
to this standard, high school boys
are not without their defenders.
These are composed, for the most
part, of former students of the vari-
Gus high schools.
Can it be that since they have
left there are no more gentleman in
the schools2 Whatever the reason,
the present school students are slow
er to uphold their reputation as gen
tlemen than are their predecessors
in the halls of learning.
