HIGHWAY SPEED.
MAINTAINED

There is only one way to attain
high average speed, and that is
to drive at a steady rate Of 40
to so miles an hour or more II
legal all day long, except when
cities and villages or traffic con-
ditions force a slower pace. To
make speed, the driver must al
ways look ahead for some dis
tance to take advantage of every
opening. If one is going to pass
a car, the "gas" should be fed
before actually starting to pass.
In taking turns, one should be sure
never to brake on the curve itself;
for fast driving here, it is best
to come into the curve slowly
and leave it fast. If the turn
is on an open road where one can
see the road approach from the
other side, one can drive it a
little faster ordinarily by taking
the turn on the wrong side. Fl
nally, a good horn is needed If
one is to make speed, for one
will find a large number Of driv-
ers using the center Of the road.
They should be given ample warn
ing.

Gives 1t Regular Care

Proving the theory that old
cars can be improved by new-car
care, there is the record of cars
IN the hands of second and third
owners. When a man buys
used car he treats it like a new
car. He does not force it up
hills. He treats it to intelligent
and regular care.
The owner of an old car should
either turn it in on a new model
or give the old buggy a new
lease on life, adopting the ideals
of the man with a sparkling new
machine, have it Serviced and
treat it properly.

TOURING
BATTERY CARE

f. The best way to protect a bat
terry, if fully charged, when tour
ing great distances in the day
time, is to turn on the lights to
such an extent that the am
meter will indicate a charging
rate of only one or two amperes
while the engine is running at
an average touring speed. If the
lights are not turned on, an ex-
cessive charge will be given the
battery, which will cause undue
gassing and evaporation of dis
stilled water. Careful motorists
will inspect their battery every
500 or 1000 miles to see that the
level of the liquid is above the
battery plates. If the liquid is
below that level. it should be
raised with distilled water. It is
likewise good plan to inspect
the battery terminals to make
sure that they are not loose nor
corroded.
