The monthly average for the past
eight months is better than the high.

riod was reached in March when 25,.

Three Traffic Tricks

In very congested traffic, and
when the load in the car is light. II
pays to stay in second gear. The
car will start without strain and in
this gear, can be stopped with fan
less effort
Every warning of sudden stops In
traffic is useful. Many drivers for
get to signal. Many stop-lights dc
not work. One is not always look
ing ahead alertly. A screeching
brake on another car often is a
handy clue to traffic changes and q
warning to step on ones own
brakes.
The nearer the driver sits to the
center of the front seat, the farther
he can see cars coming from the left
When the driver is close to the door
of the closed car the left blind spot
formed by the body post is almos,
directly in front of him.

The Old Mechanic Saws:

It's all very we'll to work on the
theory that trouble will go away in
time. Often it does, but If it's cause
, is not understood, my experience is
that it will come back again double
quick.
There's no need to rip a car to
pieces just because somethin' hap
own accord. But somethin' ought
to be done about it besides figurin'
the thing as happenstance. This
is demonstrated pretty clearly in the
case of the average plate or disc
clutch.
Suppose a clutch starts to slip?
That's nothin' to get alarmed about.
Lots of clutches slip, and there's no
need to rush the car to the shop
when it happens. Just letting the
car rest a little while will provide
the remedy, but while the car is
recuperatin it's good plan for the
owner or driver to be dom a little
thinkin'.
What started the clutch slippin'?
That's the question, that's what
the owner ought to rush to the re-
pair shop to find out, If he can't
reason it out for himself. If he
learns that it's because he drove
with his foot ridin' the clutch pedal
and pressin' just little through
nervousness, he will be on the right
track toward avoidin' a repetition Of
the trouble.
There's a reason for everything
that happens to a car, and just as
good a reason why it shouldn't have
happened. The thing to do is to
find the cause. That's the one kind
of remedy needed If the owner is
goin' to figure the trouble as some
freak thing that happened and that
isn't likely to occur again he is sure
to repeat his mistake.
A car will stand for just so much
abuse, however. Then it hits back.
1t all has the appearance of being
the result Of some deep seated
trouble. whereas it's just the re-
suit of the. owners not takin' the
trouble to see the connection be-
tween mistakes in drivin' and the,

Did You Know That

If the engine is to be used as a
partial brake when slowing down
care should be taken to see that the
hand control of the throttle is clos
ed? Unless this is done the engine
will pull against the brakes, and
the plan will be worthless.

Spending What's Saved

What are car buyers doing with
the $11.00 which, it is figured, rep
resents the average saving as a re-
suit of the two per cent reduction
in Federal excise taxes?
The tax cut Of course, scarcely is
sufficient to encourage many buyers
to select higher priced car. and
yet it is enough to make possible
some purchase in connection with
the automobile. Most cars today,
however, are so generously equipped
with accessories there is not much
possibility that the money will be
spent this way.
What, then, shall the motorist do
with the money? What can he do
with 1t particularly to help along the
cause of motoring?
1t is to be hoped the money will
be invested in some worthy cause or
movement to aid motoring generally
before increased gasoline prices or
gasoline taxes take it from him. 1t
is SO difficult to get a tax reduction
and so easy to succumb to cent
increase in the price of gasoline or
in the tax on it.

Keepino Battery Down

Investigations into the why and
wherefores of the frequent burning
out of stop-signal bulbs reveals,
among other things, a condition of
excessive voltage. A good way to
keep the battery down is to allow II
to crank over the engine few
minutes now and then, but always
after the engine is warm and

draw it down too fast. which is the
case when cranking a cold. stiff en-
