Gentle Hints for Hard.Hearted Motorists

Don't invest in tire chains. The noise
is very irritating. And then skidding cuts
down on the use of gasoline.
See. that your bumpers are given daily
workout so that they won't rust.
Don't put too much air in the tires. You
won't know when you've hit a bump.
Put as many people in your machine as
possible 50 as to exercise the springs
Don't use the lights, as this will save the
battery.-Ohio Sun Dial. 49,.

For quicker evaporation forget to put the
