misdemeanor used to be light conver-
sa ton for the drawing room, the ga
rage or the office. Today it belongs
to the underworld.
But it takes time to switch over to
the new basis, and in the mean
time a lot of people are having a
somewhat difficult time of it trying &
to get it through their heads that
there isn't any material difference
beween stealing something off a
counter. and stealing some. one else'S
right to safety.
1t was a novelty to 'be arrested
when the automobile first came into
popularity because the automobile
was taking people out into a new
complexity of social existence that
was not found at the fireside. But
novelties wear off.
When you are arrested nowadays
for violating some traffic regulation

and make you feel 1t wasn't your
fault, but in their hearts they have
lost a certain amount Of confidence

Not to Be Sighted.

Even the most conscientious owner
frequently fails to extend his clean
ing to cover some of the small but
essential points. and the result is that
many a pampered car gives lot OF
unnecessary trouble. The owner
spends perhaps the major part of
Saturday afternoon cleaning the en-
gine to make it look spic and span.
yet he may overlook cleaning the in
side of the distributor head where
there may have collected enough dirt
to give trouble. He is very particu-
lar to see that there isn't drop OF
stray grease or oil onfhe engine base,
yet he may overlook the Importance
of steering his cleaning implements
toward the fan pulleys TO the end
that there shall be no possibility of
belt slippage by reason of any stray
fabrication on them. Too much
cleaning is superficial to a point
where all the dirt that could possibly
get in where 1t shouldn't be and give
trouble actually does so. The owner
may find himself a slave to his car
without results.

Worth Remembering.

When the clutch chatters as you
are trying to coast through traffic
you can stop the annoyance by coast
ing in neutral rather than with the
clutch disengaged. 1t is better for
the clutch and gears to resort to this
expedient, although IL must not be
considered a cure for the trouble.
Leaving your car close up against
the back of another machine in the
garage may result in blackening a
portion of your front bumper. The
carbon or SCOT from the exhaust of
the other car when the engine runs
fast in first starting will make a
black ring on any nickel parts in it's
way. You have probably noticed
black spots on the garage wall where
exhausts have left their marks.

Oil and Gas Soaked.

When the news went broadcast
that steel bridge spanning the Con-
nectfcut River at Springfield Mass
burned TO a twisted mass within an
hours time, the question Immediately
arose as to how the wooden flooring
of~such a bridge could possibly burn
with such dire results. But the an
swer is quite simple, If one will note
the condition of wooden bridge
flooring after a few years of auto
mobile traffic has passed over II. Oil
and gasoline in dripping TO the floor
are absorbed by the wood to form a
particularly combustible material
which, when ignited. furnishes an
excellent medium for destruction
There are thousands of such bridges
in the country. and as many garages
with wood flooring. Let this expert
ence in Springfield be lesson
learned. Wood has it's place, but not
for the accommodation of motor cars,
which continually drip the most COM
bustible of fuels.

This and That.

A careless newspaper heading
reads, Auto Drivers Pay s146,007 in
Finds The mistake is interesting.
Were these unlucky drivers finds"
for ambitious sheriffs, or finds" for
the officials who are honestly work
ing in the interests of greater high
way safety? 1t has been suggested
that payment of these fines might
have been in the nature of finds for
some of the drivers who were wise
enough to regard the arrest as les
son in safety and sanity.

I'VE have talked for years of the
replacement market, meaning the
purchase of vehicles to take the place
of those which go out of use each
year This Is another way Of saying
that the automobile has become
fixed item in the family budget. The
new car tends to be purchased out of
income rather than capital. Whether
or not the time payment sale is the
most desirable way to handle 1t de-
pends on the individual circumstances,
but this credit basis permits large
number of families to include motor
transportation in their budget who
might not otherwise be able to do
so. The purchase of homes. pianos,
and most articles requiring a large
expenditure is arranged for in the
same way.
Automobile paper is being very well
handled. Dealers and finance COM
panies are investigating the credit
risks carefully, so that AZ survey of
leading companies in this business
brought out the fact that their losses
on this line of credit were but Is of

More Available Routes.
The surfacing of our highways is
going forward at the rate of about
10000 miles per year. The Federal
highway system when completed In
10 or 10 years will link together all
centers of population of 5000 ana
over. This will comprise road sys-
tenn of approximately 10000 miles
This is another way of saying that u
greatly increased number of routes is
being made available. The motor
vehicle is but half of the equipment
needed for proper motor transporta-
tion. Its successful and economical
operation depends. upon proper high
ways.
When in future years we look
back upon this stage of the auto
mobile business, 1924 and 1925 will
stand out as years in which the
motor truck and the motor bus took
rapid forward strides.
The time has come whensthe high

"All the world needs more motor
transportation. Every country recog-
nizes that it is impossible to establish
railway routes leading to every VIII
lago. The service of the motor car,
the motor truck, the motor bus is
absolutely essential to a fully devel-
oped civilization. Europe realizes
this partially, though many elements
of prejudice still exist there. Aus

America and Mexico are taking ac-

THE motor car. the motor truck

When one is out on the road it is
