CLOGGED MUFFLER Is
A SOURCE OF TROUBLE

Everyone knows just what the
function of the muffler On his car

meet it up as cause for engine
overheating. But it is a fact.
Proper scavenging of the burnt
gases must take place or the cylir-
ders will become overheated. A
muffler cIogged with SCOT cuts down
the passage Of the burned gas
which, not having ready egress,
backs up and heats the cylinder
walls around the exhaust pipe.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the fact that it is prac-
tically impossible for your car TO
have a burned out engine if you
will only keep your eye on the heat

the radiator cap of your car. The
heat will register there and If this
warming is needed early enough,
no serious damage will result.

What is honesty in driving?
Many very .straightlaced people
every day are going their way
without even stopping to con.
slider the possibility of the exist
ence of such a thing.
An experienced driver recently
observed man acting as pilot
for several elderly women. Tho
man at the wheel was ignorant
of the simplest rules of backing
the car, as evidenced by. the d1f-
ficulty he had moving 1t out Of

honest.
He wouldn't think of operating
locomotive without training.
Yet he appeared to have no
scruples against placing his motor
car passengers at the mercy OF
his inexperience. His conscience
was plainly at ease despite the
fact that he owed it to himself, >,
his passengers and all motorists
to practice better driving.
Dishonesty in driving isn't
merely a matter Of cutting in,
stealing the other fellows park
ing space. cheating at corners or
making i. unsafe for others. AS
a matter of fact these stunts IRE
quently are but the results of
deeper dishonesty. Many a
driver does a mean trick just
because he does not know how
to avoid it.
He does not practice better
driving. He is unwilling to take
lessons from more experienced
operators. He says to himself,
"I can get by as we'll as the
