Making Speed Comfortable.

In all fairness to the products Of
American automobile factories 1T Is
only right that motorists, in taking
demonstrations. should avoid the com.
mon mistake of testing a cars speed
by stepping on the gas for a brief
spurt Almost any car will seem to
be going uncomfortably fast at As
and over under such conditions.
A speed test should be made gradu.
ally 1t isn't so much matter Of al.
wide-open throttle as it is to give the
driver himself chance to acclimate
himself to the experience of seeing the
world fly by. Frequently during a
demonstration prospective buyers will
step on the gas in places where 35
miles an hour would be too great a
speed for conditions. Obviously the
car does not seem to take high speed
comfortably.
For a real speed test. select a good
road, well paved and free from traffic.
Drive along at 80 miles an hour, grad
ually increasing the speed until the
car is running reasonably fast. A
moderate downgrade offers the oppor-
tunity to add to 10 miles an hour
to the cars speed without forcing the
engine. Then when the car Is rolling
along at a smart clip and the speed
is in keeping with road conditions,
step on the gas a little more.
Under such conditions any car will
seem to take the high speeds with far
less effort. That is because the driver
is becoming accustomed to higher
speed and road conditions permit 1t.

Panama Cows Victorious.

Unrestricted use of the highways
and freedom from such burdensome
appurtenan as bells. tail lights and
other similar warning devices has
been assured cows of the Panama
Canal Zone by a recent ruling Of the
District Court.
This important legal victory Of the
bovine sorority was scored when the
court dismissed the suit Of a motorist
who alleged that he had been injured
and his automobile damaged when he
drove into an unlighted cow on the
highway.
In bringing suit against the Panama
Railroad Co, owner of the cow, the
driver alleged the company was negli.
gent "in allowing the COW to stay upon
the highway in a negligent and un-
lawful manner, without attendants or
other means of warning vehicles law
fully using such highway, and, sec
ond. that said COW was not equipped
with any warning devices in the ma.
ture of bell, head or tail lights
Dismissing the suit, the court ruled
that the plaintiff had failed to prove
the COW was an unlawful obstruction
and added that there Is no law in the
Canal Zone requiring animals on the
highways to be equipped with any Of

A Word for Courtesy.

Where the Money Goes.

Charges of waste and mismanage-
ment of funds derived from motor
vehicle taxes fade into obscurity
when it is realized that 23,152 miles
of highways were improved during
the past year. Total motor vehicle
taxes for 1925, including S10o,000,000
in personal property levies. reached
the figure of S666.944, 3449S Assum
ing that all of the moneys derived
from all forms of motor vehicle taxes
were applied to road building, the
Improvement was effected at the
rate OF S2S,000 a mile.
Large amounts of the taxes, of
course. are not applied to road build
ing, or even to road maintenance,
but to offset this there are the spe-'
cial forms of roadbuilding financing.
The tax total is enormous when con-
sidered separately, but considered
in the light of road progress it is
plainly evident that funds are not
being diverted quite as seriously as

likely to burn the clutch plates and
cause slipping, which. in turn, causes
overheating.
The coolest way over a steep hill
is to shift TO second promptly and
run fast. On level ground the trick
is to get the speed of the car up to
point where the machine will roll free
ly and require less gas per suction
stroke OF each piston to propel it. 1t
is also important to remember that
when a quantity OF gas is being
drawn into the engine in dribs, it
tends to cool the intake manifold and
intake valve. In normal running the
cooler these parts are the less pre-
heating of the gas vapor there will
be. The engine will have more snap
and power. which means less over
heating.
Many drivers MISS the opportunity
to keep their engines cooler by ac-
celebrating intermittently. This pre-
vents progressive overheating and in
creases power by stirring up the gas
mixture. Much overheating also is
caused by expecting too much from
the engine when the gas mixture is
excessively lean. The real remedy is
to make It richer, but much of the an
noyance Of a lean mixture can be
overcome by shifting to second sooner

Fact Worth Remembering.

Always polish the head Of the en-
gine when removing it to clean out
carbon. A polished head is proof
against too 'hasty collection Of new
carbon deposit. The smoother the
inside of the combustion chamber
the less carbon will gather. Some
we'll constructed engines carry cast
iron pistons with small depressions
drilled in their centers. This is done
to balance the pistons, but the de-
pressions offer pockets for the col

Breaking in a car with rebored

It is a more difficult task than break

Some low gears are entirely too low
for ordinary use. Where this is the
case it is a positive assistance to the
engine and particularly to the clutch,
transmission, universals and pinion
gear to start in second gear, except
on upgrades. A clutch is essentially a
friction device and it Is better to over
