She had ordered valve-grinding job
which was priced at $6.20 according to
the hat-rate schedule. They had kept
the car seven hours. To her this seemed
unreasonable, since she figured that at
the rate of $1.25 an hour for labor the
job would have cost $875. BY SEEM
ingly skillful deduction she reached the
conclusion that some one had wasted
few hours with her car.
These half truths are dangerous
things. The fact is, service men often
are unable to meet the factory ideals
in working on cars. Many jobs are
turned out at a loss. Flat rates usually
work out on an average, but every so
often a job that should be done in four
hours runs to twice that length of time.

Some of the fastest motorists in Amer
lea are the aged and sometimes infirm
persons who daily ride out in the after
noon in their chauffeur driven cars.
Speedometers mean nothing to them.
Time does. They have lost all sense of
speed, but still have a very keen time
sense. One elderly woman invariably
makes unreasonable requests, which her
driver attempts to fulfill. The car rolls
from 60 to 10 miles very frequently in
order to reach places within the pre-
scribed time limit, but she is one of the
strongest believers in slow motion.
One elderly business man kept his
driver to such rigid time schedule
that 1t was necessary to drive over GER
tain portions Of the boulevard to the
office at 40, sometimes more Often the
old gentleman expressed the opinion
that no one should be permitted to

Whether you drive one of the new

or pilot the older type, always remem-

stall on railroad crossing. The auto
matte starter will keep the motor in
action and, If the car is in gear, it will
pull you out of danger. Without this
rev feature your best bet is to press
on the starter button and let the
starter motor and battery pull you out
of harms way. Incidentally, the best
way to avoid a stall ona crossing is to
shift to second gear or low before going
on the tracks.
Speaking of shifting reminds me to
suggest that you learn to shift to sec
ond gear or drop back to conventional
If you have been free wheeling before
you start down @ steep hill. This will
forestall any possibility of confusion.
More advanced woman drivers will note,
however, that with the newer models it
is possible to shift from high to second,
noiselessly and effortlessly, while free
wheeling downhill and then get into
conventional by mere flip Of lever,
pulling on button or removing the left
foot from q button on the floor.

this season.
Special Problems.
Spring itself brings special problems
which are not likely TO be appreciated
by those who drive their cars 365 days
of the year and who Lead into Spring
progressively. There are the freshets
and the suddenly hot days to contend
with. Cool mornings. Extreme damp
ness. Heavy showers. On top OF this
and other difficulties, the owner sets
out for longer and faster trips, which
in themselves make certain demands on
the car.
This Is a season of year when the
battery can be helped by turning over
the motor a few times in the morning
before using the starter. A surprising
number of batteries that have held up
faithfully during the Winter break

A rusted part of the brake linkage Is
certain to throw the braking system
out of equalization. Where refining Is

brake levers or cams.
Radiator Care.
This is also the time Of year when
sudden hot spells find the radiator
lacking in sufficient water or still handi-
capped with the scale caused by some
rust forming anti-freeZe. The tendency
to be careless about the cooling system
along toward the end Of Winter invari-
ably is carried over into Spring. Then II
is that the owner must pay the penalty.
In the old days no owner thought OF
using his car in the Spring unless he
had checked over everything carefully.
Usually he had the car oVerhauled. To-
day the overhauling is as likely to be
done in Winter as In Summer, with
Springtime marking no definite point.
A new slant on Spring is demanded
OF today's motorist. It's the same old
Spring perhaps, but it doesn't come to
the motorist In the same old way.

TRANSPORTATION NEEDS

Cardinal Benefits of Highway and
Street Improvement De-
picted.

THE very development OF transporta-
ton, the advantages of distribution of
industry, today make the ownership of
homes far more feasible and desirable
than ever before"
These words of President Hoover,
uttered before his recent conference
to make home ownership easier, call
attention to one of the cardinal bene-
fits Of highway and street improvement,

LOWERING TRAVEL COSTS
Good Roads Save Motorists 2 Cents
Mile.

Estimating saving Of Q cents a mile
travelled on surfaced road, as COM
pared with the cost of travel on a dirt
road, each moter vehicle owner who
travels 10000 miles a year on improved
roads saves 5000, according to w. R.
Smith, president Of the American Road
Builders Association. The saving of 2
cents a mile has been conservatively
estimated.
"A dirt road that has 1000 vehicles a
day traffic Is losing $1,000 a year to the
public on every mile, due to increased
operating costs. This loss would pay
the interest and sinking fund on money
to build the finest kind of road. The
mud tax that is paid by every one that
travels a dirt road probably far exceeds
the money spent on road building" Mr.
Smith declared
