The Old Mechanic Saws:

It's strange that the driver who
wouldn't think of steppin' suddenly on
the brakes except in an emergency
will make it habit to slam down the
accelerator whenever he feels the urge.
1t makes lot of work for me. and
with the hot weather comm on I'd
much rather sit here on the OIL chest
nut tree and talk about cars. I've
never seen any engine yet that would
stand for constant. sudden accelera-
ton. 1t strains even the best of them,
and there's more to the damage than
engine trouble.
The best rule in safe drivin' Is to do
nothing suddenly. and the same thing
applies to economical car ownership.
Everything that is done in a hurry is
done without a reasonable amount of
forethought. That means trouble
whether you're thinkin' of collisions
between cars or collisions between
metals. You get friction in either case,
and friction always means expense.

A lot of drivers like to play with ac-
celeration, and the way the new cars
respond to the throttle encourages this
sort of thing. Acceleration is a safety
feature, just like the declaration Of

it in an emergency, not for shown off.
Every time an engine is accelerated
suddenly, every piston pin is strained.

Rubber Steering Wheel.

At last, the rubber steering wheel
has made its appearance. Many knew
1t was coming, but not so soon, and
assuredly not so unheralded. Rubber
has been making some great strides
in automobile manufacture and it
was only logical that it should be
used in the steering wheel rim to
eliminate some of the road shocks.
OF course, as used at present it is
reinforced by a coil of steel. Probably
it is just this compromise that will
make the new type steering wheel
pronounced success.

Fail to Separate
Their Auto Keys;
Trouble Is Result

Stockroom employees of automo-
bile retail establishments declare
they do an active business with
motorists who do not take the trou-
Bile to separate the keys that come
with their automobiles.
Usually. the two keys that I'M
lock the transmission, the ignition,
the steering wheel or other part of
the car come attached together.
The wise plan is to separate them
at once. Service station men de-
clare that it is surprising to find
such a large number of motorists
failing to take this step.

Making Better Time.

Whether one makes good time
when the traffic is heavy is not so
much a matter of stepping on it,
hard when the opportunity presents
itself as keeping in the proper lane
of travel, where one has a chance to
use the accelerator fairly hard all of
the time. ~Nw = Nr-
