Fall dew isn't anything new to the
motorist who has to meet time pay
ments on her car.
Women who value the smart beauty
of their new cars need no longer Won
der what might happen If they struck
a car with higher or lower bumpers.
This parking and traffic problem Is
solved with the aid Of the new bars
that attach to the new bumpers. They
catch the intruding bumper that's on
| standard.
Have you every gone to your dentists
| to have a tooth filled and then dis
covered that there Was something else
| in your mouth that needed attention
much more? And were you not pleased
when the dentist informed you that
your dropping in for an appointment
was a lucky break?
| It's the same with your car. Some
times you visit the service station for
some little thing that could be over
looked but as they are attending TO
this some one discovers that you have
wheel about to drop off or a broken
spring that might cause lot OF road
side grief It's lucky break for you,
but there's temptation to assume the
service station wants to make work.
That's hardly fair You may be skating
on thin ice without realizing it.
If you hear the motor knocking as
you start off one Of these cool Fall
mornings don't be alarmed. It's just
| what mechanics call lean mixture
knock You're still running on Sum-
mer mixture and really need it for
most of the warmer hours of the Fall
day. The knocking will suggest too far
an advanced spark or the possibility
that you have bought some inferior gas,
but it's just the mixture plus the lower
temperature
A woman who was halted by traf-
f1c COD for pushing down too freely on
the accelerator listened to his TRADE
and then advised him that she would
like to tell him a few things. The
gist of 1t was that she informed him
she was the mother of three children
and that If they ever grew up and
talked to a lady as he had talked to
her she would disown them. He's still
thinking 1t over
I am indebted to woman for
useful suggestion. She noticed that

car pushed on various parts of the
frame and often caught their fingers.
Now she says. when noting some one
following this haphaZard method,
please use the door handles"
The weeks safety sermonette stresses
the advantage in keeping well behind
other cars when in traffic procession
on the open road. It isn't merely
pf lac wing odaOIatA margin
of safety for stopping, but also for
better vision of the situation ahead.
Had you stopped to reason that the
nearer you are to the back OF another
car the more it obstructs your view?
A little tinfoil still is we'll worth car
rying in the car 1t can be used to
wrap around burned-out fuse in or
der to provide a temporary remedy
when the lights go out or the horn
refuses to blow. Most women probably
will not be able to make this emer-
gency repair, because few know where
the fuses are located, but it's we'll to
be forearmed against the contingency
of having some one who can volunteer
to make the repair without having any
tinfoil handy.
Oddly enough, some cars do not have
any fuses at all. Instead there is
device known as a circuit breaker.
When a short circuit develops in some
part Of the electrical system this gadget
starts to buzz thereby breaking the
circuit. Just as soon as the emergency
is corrected the breaker behaves nor
mally again.
Here's a little hint that may help you
In deciding whether the car you're try
ing out Is the one you ought to buy.
Speed up for a stretch and then i'm
mediately slow down to mere crawl in
high gear. An engine that runs smooth
ly after being forced is superior type.
A good test of brakes Is to see how
