Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

1t was his kid sister. Did he get cold
potatoes for his dinner?
A woman has written to ask which
tires OF the car wear out most quickly
That's timely query because I've just
seen another woman start her new car
like shot out of a cannon, and 1t Is
quite obvious that the rear tires are
due for sufficient punishment to rate
them the quickest wearers. 1t used to
be the right front tire that locked sud-
denly seedy. 1t still has a tendency to
wear more rapidly than its mate on the
left front wheel. but with all this fash
starting the real tire expense is going
to be found at the rear Check this
with more gentle engagement of the
clutch.
Every woman pulls out the choke
control when starting the motor but
how many know just what this control
does and why it is necessary? I am
reminded to bring up the subject be-
cause have just heard a man say that
the choker serves to inject a shot of
raw gas into the cylinders. He's wrong.
OF course, thinking, as he does, of an
ether device known as a primer.
When you choke the caIburetor all
you do is close valve that cuts off
the air from entering the unit. With
the air cut eff the pistons suck up raw
gasoline through the carburetor Jets.
This suction is powerful. with the result
that 1t lifts the fuel so rapidly as to
spray it into small molecules and break
1t up by drawing it against the throttle
valve, the turns in the intake manifold
and the valves. Obviously, since the
exp, ,osiveness of gasoline depends on
It's being mixed with air, it is essential
to avoid overlooking.
One of the best rules is to choke
during moment or two of cranking
with the ignition eff. Then snap on
the ignition and push the choke con-
troll in. The engine then gets a good
supply CT fuel spray. plus enough air
to fire. The instant the motor goes of.
hcWever, it will be necessary to con-
tinue choking until the motor runs
normally. Pulling the choEer out about
three-quarters and then setting it back
to the hallway point until the motor
runs evenly is about the best rule.
1t should be evident from what I have
said that if the thrcttle is kept closed
to the idling position the pistons can
not suck up enough fuel spray to make
combustible mixture. Some cars have
the throttle interconnected with the
choke control, but in most cases the
driver should open the throttle a little
herself. About one-third the way open
is about right.
If the service man who attaches a
new oil filter cartridge at the end OF
the first 10000 miles forgets to add oil
to the crankcase, better remind him to
do so. A filter will hold about a quart
of oil

Lee mumbled.
Jock Selden gave Lee the edge Of

for their party.

M0DERNITY FAILS
TO LURE PROVINCE
Century-0ld Customs Still Hold
Swap in Parts of Central
Sweden.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM. July 30-Modernity,
in the form of the automobile. the
radio the electric light, and gasoline
station, continues to make inroads In
the Province of Delacarlia. in Central
Sweden, but the new and the different
have yet to rout certain adherence to
provincial costume and centurieS-old
customs.
Today. as for years back. the people
OF Delacarlia are intelligent, prosperous
farmers or tradesmen. The province
has produced more than its share of art
and artists. But modernity is accepted
as companion to the old, not as a
substitute.
The custom of the Maypole still
holds true and once a year, on Mid
summer day, comes into its own with a
flourish. The custom of the church
boats. long, carefully built craft with
curvey prows. 3eating as many as 80
people, has yet to be VanquiShed They
are still used on special occasions to
bring parishonerS to church near LEX
sand. Folk dances are still In vogue.
In some of the rural sections, and
even In the more modern sections,
women and girls still wear the colorfuI
garb OF red stockings, gayly striped
aprons, red vests, embroidered blouses
and white bonnets. They wear these
costumes, without restraint, on visits to
Stockholm, providing curious contrast
TO the distinctly modern dress of the
Stockholmers.
The masculine Delacarlian costume
yellow buckSkin breeches, white stock
1ngS and black vests, or purple breeches
and red vests is losing ground more
rapidly.
Interesting, also, is the fact that
Delacarlia retains its emphasis on tradi-
tion deliberately, and through no lack
OF knowledge Of the outside world.
To talk to a blacksmith as he pauses
by his forge is, more often that not. to
have him make pointed inquiries as to
world disarmament, the progress of
Fascisrn. and the presidential campaign
in the United States.
The better known sections of Della
carlia have become mecca for tourists
but 1t is still possible to venture into
the more remote sections, where the
natural scenic beauties of Sweden are
at their best, and see a life quite diff
ferent in texture from that of the
sophisticate.
Know where to go. with a knowledge
OF the language, and it is still possible
to f1nd yourself sitting on the floor of a
n 1t or "Stuga" drinking coffee made in
copper kettles In an open fireplace and
listening to Swedish girls in costume
singing songs or to find yourself dane
ing around Maypole late at night, or
listening to ancient folklore from the
lips OF people who know how to tell q
story.
Modernity has yet to ensIave Della
carlia.

He's given me to understand Lee con-
ours in his plans. He's a proud man.
For years he has been wretchedly un-
happy. Clara Leonard led him a life

steadfastness could endure over period

terrific blow. Another blow, coming on

The words were out before Tony could
check them.
Unless nothing better shows up in
the meantime" Kemp finished for her.
His catching her thought this way was
uncanny. She would have to stop think
ing.
"You believe Adam Leonard would
make trouble for Lee if she refused
him?"
NO. He would be more liable to
make trouble for himself, and that
might involve Lee The whole situation
is charged with dynamite. I'd like to
think that you are clear Of 1t, If there
is an explosion"
Ought she to tell Donald Kemp of the
week end trip, ask his advice about
going to Haven Beach on Lees party?
He would veto 1t, she was sure. She
had given her word to Lee. She would
have to risk it this time.
I'm glad ycu told me what Adam
Leonard expects of Lee" she said CRATE
fully. Il don't know whether Lee had
given him any definite reason for hop
ing she would marry him or not. Life
has buffeted her about mercilessly. Lots

He's matching money against youth and
pleasure. He ought to be prepared TO

Il agree with you. Only Leonard
doesn't admit he is playing that game.
The trouble with age is it seldom recog-
nizes itself, especially where the heart
is involved. 1t deliberately blinds itself
to the fact that the kind of love 1t
can get is the kind of love that is fer
sale Love stirs youthful fires to warm
its chilling blood. 1t rejects the proven
theory that these fires are but phantom
ones, pale reflections of fires that have

love by warming over the fires of his
youth. There, I'm propounding, when

BALTIMORE, July 3O-Many motor
lists, after being convicted of violation
of the law, ask why they are caused to
suffer double punishment-th suspen-
sion or revocation of license to operate
and the court verdict, according to
E. Austin Baughman, commissioner of
motor vehicles
The answer, he said, lies in the dis
tinction between right and privilege.
No person enjoys an inherent right
to operate a motor vehicle upon the
public highways" Mr.. Baughman assert
ed. 1T is, like many other privileges,
a license granted upon compliance with
certain conditions. and unlike an alb
solute right, is subject to revocation by
the authority granting it.
The underlying principle is that when
a privilege has been abused, whether
willfully and Intentionally, or because
Of incompetence or misconduct, the
person so privileged is no longer entitled
to exercise it, or at least, its enjoyment
may be revoked or abridged"
