Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

A woman need not have much expert
ence at the wheel to discover that golf
courses have no monopoly on wooden
headed drivers.
The lights flashed green. Traffic
burst into action. Horns footed to spur
her into action. But her car would not
go, because she did not know how to
meet the situation of inability to get
into low gear.
With the clutch pedal pushed to the
floor, she struggled with the gear-shift
lever, but to no avail If she had only
lifted her foot from the pedal, then
pressed 1t to the floor and tried again
she could have shifted without a sus-
picion Of trouble.
Some drivers promptly go into q rage
when a woman parking ahead or be-
hind them starts to sound her horn.
look at it in a different light. Often
the horning is entirely accidental and
just as often indicates that the driver
is proceeding efdciently.
If she holds the wheel at the top, in
order to get full leverage and good
swing, her forearms are apt to strike
the horn button. footing may indicate
good parking procedure even If the at
tendant noise Is a little irritating to
those who do not appreciate the cause.
Never drain gasoline from the vacuum
tank or take it from the filter bowl to
clean spotted raiment. Even II the car
Is not operated on gas containing terra
ethyl lead, which should not be used
for cleaning purposes. there Is apt to
be water, dirt and sediment in gaso-
line drawn at these points
Getting a ticket Is a less familiar
process for the average woman, which
probably accounts for q mistake which
frequently occasions her unnecessary
trouble. In many cities first offenders,
or persons with very legitimate excuses
for parking overtime, are excused II they
will look up at the ofncer who tagged
them and make themselves known. Be-
ing a fatalist has its drawbacks.
Little Willie may need a spanking Tor
taking the alarm clock apart, but wise
Is the woman who notes the conglom-
Grafton of gears in the exposed case. II
she observes that there are small gears
that rotate very fast, while the hands
travel at a snail's pace. she will under
stand the purpose of the gears In her
car. In starting, the engine may rotate
as high as II times to each single TO
tation of the rear wheels. This Is what
is known as mechanical advantage.

/ he sells and q number Of other
factors that make the problem
difficult to analyZe."
The prospects of the petroleum
industry for the coming Winter
are good, according to the annual
trade survey of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers. This
survey likewise listed the petro-
leum industry as one of the three
in healthieSt condition at the
present time.
The favorable outlook for the
industry was also revealed in re-
cent dispatches from Washington
which stated that men in close
contact with the oil business feel
certain of it's future prosperity.
The increasing yearly travel aver
age of the American automobile
owner accounts for their attitude.
1t is estimated that automobile
users will cover 100000, 000, 900
miles this year, with an approx
mate consumption of 10000, 900
gallons of gasoline.
Lubricating oils of excellent
quality are now being produced
by modern manufacturing meth
DDS from nearly all the important
oil fields of the United States, ac-
cording to a number of prominent
automotive and industrial au-
thoritieS who contributed to a
survey recently undertaken by the
New York University Bureau of
Business Research to determine
whether the source of the crude
is important in the production Of
good lubricating oils.
Fall COlors for Autos.
Fall trends in colorS for motor
cars are given in the Automobile
Color Index which has just been
issued.
Black" says the Index, "con-
tinueS to maintain leadership, but
on a declining movement. Blue
exhibits tendency to slacken its
downward trend at this time.
There is, however, little change in
the intensities of the individual
blue colorS that comprise the cur
rent list of blue leaders. Keen
interest has recently been dis
played in greeniSh blues of high
luminosity and rich purity on the
order of pemaquid blue, chro-
matte blue light and 5lu-moSs."
Brown is in greater popularity
and is making gains at the ex-
penSe of black and blue. "Drab
values in brown are extremely
the Index points out,
"but an upward tendency in pure,
rich values has been observed of
late"
While ranking fourth in pref
erence, green is shown as remain
ing in remarkably steady demand
during the past three months.
The Index expresses the view that
"the rate of decline for the green
color group has not increased, and
this may indicate that a bottom
is being formed preparatory to a
in movement"
Maroon seems least in favor of
all the major colors, while Gin
tereSt in gray has undergone an
abrupt change at the expense of
maroon. Instigated by the intro
duction of recently developed
chromatic grays of distinctive
brownish, greenish and blush
hues, gray has advanced in i'm
portance," according to the Index.

Do the woman passengers who ride
in the tonneau find that their shoes
are marked and made unshapely by rea-
son of the foot rail? If SO, why not
dispense with this rail and substitute
tightly stuffed triangular foot pillows
such as one finds in some of the Gus
tom jobs?
Just q rough sketch Of what goes on
when you crank the engine should serve
to explain why 1t is never a good idea
to switch on the ignition before step
ping on the starter button.
If the starter-motor were wired
through the ammeter on the dash, you
would note a violent discharge during
the cranking process, and 1t would i'm
mediately suggest to you the idea that
current used for ignition during this
cranking is necessarily weakened. When
you crank at night, you will notice the
headlights dim, if you are foolish
enough to forget to switch off the lights
temporarily. The spark for the plugs
"dims" in just the same way.
In addition, the pistons do not draw
a very good mixture during the first
few rotations of the engine. nor is COM
preston high enough to make for good
combustion. Naturally, a weak spark
isn't going to be much of a help.
Inc DeILeT way 10 10 Lille JOu II W
let the engine turn over a few times
and then switch on the ignition while
1t Is spinning. After the initial crank
ing Of the engine, the load on the bat
terry lessons. so that there is more cur
rent for ignition. II you will press the
clutch pedal to the floor, you will also
help save current, since this will spare
the starter the job of turning some OF
the transmission gears,
Starting difficulties are sometimes
nothing more than failure to switch on
the ignition properly. I have found
some women just Tipping the switch
and waiting patiently while the engine
refuses to start. The best policy is to
hold the switch in the ION" position
until the engine starts. Some switches
do not make as good contact as they
should, and many are loose.
A woman artist recently declared that
"as women dictate car construction
more they will become better drivers"
If there is anything in this prophecy.
we may expect to see automobiles OF
the future so designed that when you
step all the way down on the accelerator
instead of pressing on the brake the car
will stop.

play with their sleds. Even though boys
and girls should not coast except at
points indicated by the authorities, they
will often do so. "Hitching" on to
automobiles with sleds should never be
allowed by the driver OF car and chill

Safety in the city streets Is q big
problem, engaging the time and atten-
ton and efforts of many. Boy Scouts
do their bit by applying various rules
of safety which they have learned.
Other children can learn TO do so IS
well because children are as easily led
into one form Of habit as another. With
little effort on the part OF parents and
teachers one can train them to watch
out for vehicles on the streets and to do
what traffic officer tells them.

WATCH OIL FILTER

Motorlsts warned NOT 20 Forget
This Necessity.
Motorists should not neglect the oil
filter on their car.
Clean oil means longer engine life
and smoother performance. The oil
filter removes dirt, carbon and other
foreign matter from the oil. The re-
moval of this foreign matter decreases
wear on the moving parts Of the engine.
thus assisting In prolonging its life.
1t is important that the filter cartridge
be renewed after 10000 miles of driving,
as after this mileage 1t becomes filled
with the foreign matter taken from the
oil and ceases to function at highest
efiiciency. If the cartridge is not re-
newed at this mileage the whole pur-
pose of the filter Is defeated.

tinues full speed ahead. New
high records were set in 1929
when a radio merchandise turn
