Motorists who "cut in" to get a
better position in the waiting traffic
string only occasionally get what is
coming to them. When they do, it
carries lesson-teaching sting.
Recently, in Hyattsville, a police
man, working casually and alone, gave
a valuable lesson to drivers of almost
100 cars who followed the leader and
cut around a waiting line of machines
at the railroad crossing in the middle
of the town.
The picture when the policeman
began his determined effort to change

DRAIN VACUUM TANK.
Reflling With Fresh Gasoline
Helps After Long Storage.

Before trying to start a car that has
been stored for a long period. be sure
TO drain off the vacuum tank and re-
fill it with fresh gasoline. The carbu.
rotor float chamber can be cleared of
the stale gas, if it is not already dry,
by holding down the float until the
fresh gasoline from the vacuum tank
runs into it. Carburetors are equipped
with a ticker, or plunger, so that the
motorist can empty and refill the car
buretor float chamber with little eff.
fort.
On some carburetors, however, there
is a little dome cap over the ticker
which must be unscrewed first. It
simply is a protective cap.

Ease and comfort seem to appeal to
the average motorist today as much
as power and speed did in the old

the number of woman drivers has had
something to do with it.
At any rate, automobile and acces-

their way to provide the present day
motorist with every conceivable item
looking toward his physical comfort

Shock absorbers, special springs,
