Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK c. RUSSELL.

preciated by motorists just at present
is the fact that when hot weather
comes it will be possible to reverse the
wings of the new ventilating systems
SO as to force air into the car.
Since a woman is more apt to carry
rear seat passengers than men drivers
she has a somewhat greater response
bility in guarding against the possibility
of having them tossed up to contact
the roof when the car goes over a
bump I find there is current a theory
that if the car is well loaded down it
will not be so likely to toss into the
air. This is dangerous reasoning. The
more energy spring stores up on It's
downward compression the more violent
its recoil.
But that wasn't what I started out
to say Be especially careful going
over a sharp crest of a hill on sec
ondary road The rear of the car Will
fly off the ground here in such a way
as to give the body severe upthroW.
Women will want to know how it Is
that so many of the new cars attend
to the choking automatically. They
may also wonder why motordom has
been all these years getting around to
such a convenience.
The plan is simple. A thermostat
controls the choke valve Of the carbure-
tor, automatically closing of the air
when the motor is cold. This is the
sane s,nt of device you find in the
electric stove or controlling the oil
burner, except that it is designed to
accommodate itself to the automobile
engine. It's coils expand with heat,
contract with cold. This provides the
automatic mechanical action to operate
the air valve.
The arrangement could have been
used before. Probably car makers
figured that so long as it really wasn't
necessary it might better be left of.
Manufacturers have tried to keep the
automobile simple, and you always sim
plify it when you exclude automatic
devices. But along came the down
draft carburetor which, while offering
greater efficiency and power. presented
the difficulty of possible overlooking.
That forced adoption of the automatic
choke.
If YOU need to wait at an intersection
with the clutch pedal pressed to the
floor and the car in gear better use
reverse. Should your foot slip off the
pedal, therefore. the car will go back
wards instead of forwards into passing
pedestrians You can shift from re-
verse to low without moving the Gluten
pedal.
There are times when holding the
clutch pedal down Is necessary to get
ting a quick start. This Is when the
clutch plates drag and you find it dif-
ficult to get into low quickly when de-
clutching and getting ready to start.
Hence the idea Of waiting with clutch
disengaged and the gears in reverse.
A woman has to be at the wheel at
least 10 wears to realize that what she
loathes is not the men who do absurd
things in their driving but the selfish
ness, ignorance and intolerance which
make them act that way.

With everything else in arrears, it's
= only natural to expect the engine OF
tomorrow to be behind.
One of the mental slips any motorist
IS apt to make is the idea that the
brand of car she now drives is vastly
better than the one she drove in pre-
vious years. The tendency is to forget
that the other makes of cars have been
equally improved and that if she were
at the wheel Of the latest version OF a
make that proved troublesome several
years before she would be well satisfied.
Put it another way. Had she owned
an earlier model of the car now consid-
cred so satisfactory it is quite possible
that there would have been considerable
, dissatisfaction.
And why overlook the fact that the
formerly owned cars had to Withstand
less competent driving?
, "Maybe I'm domestic minded or some
thing" writes a reader of these weekly
chats about our cars, "but whenever I
am moving along the driveway hear
echoed against the side CT the house
noise that sounds like lot Of dishes
rafting. Could this have any mean
tng?" -.
: This is lucky query. That sort OF
noise means worn-out universal joints.
--ssThey should be replaced at the first op-
:portunity.
: Some Of the scratching of the wind
shield is due to forgetting to switch OIL
/, the wipers when garaging the car at
. night. If the wiper blades start to
: sweep across the mud-splattered glass
. they may permanently scratch it.
There are several reasons why you
: as progressive woman motorist should
: insist upon having the car equipped
with a fire extinguisher. Gasoline Is
more volatile than it was five or six
years ago. The modern engine operates
at a higher temperature. You travel
faster and thus fan a small fire into an
alarming blaze just that much quicker.
ftAnd if these aren't reasons enough, re-
mind him that many of your passengers
now smoke their own and that they are
afflicted with the customary smokers
carelessnesS.
Better ventilated cars ought to be one
way of fighting the menace of colds.
For years the closed car has been a
contributor to trouble because passen-
gers have been obliged to choose be-
tween drafts and STIFFNESS. Now pas
,sengers can smoke freely and the car
Is ventilated without asking someone
TO take the breezes. A point not ap-

few years. OF women 81 per cent were
under 25 as against 20 per cent As and
over, while of the men only 81 per cent
were under Is as compared with 80 per
cent As years of age and over. The
number of employed women under Is

that of men increased only per cent.
More than one-third of all married

STOCKS IN RALLY
AS MARKET CLOSES
Close Is Firm, With Price
Changes Small-Trad-
ing Light.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

special DlSpatcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, January 13.-Irregu-
larly reactionary during the early trad
ing, today's stock market rallied in the
last hour and cloSe1 firm at the rest
of the day.
There was 40 activity on the reac-
ton and the losses were for the most
part unimportant. The market showed
such good resistance that the profess
sionals finally turned to the buying
side and, while closing prices were only
slightly higher, the list had a good un-
dertone.
Stocks made no response to the over
night news in the early trading. The
most important item, of course, was
the passage by the House of Represent
atives of the farm relief bill, but that
was left to the wheat market and the
other commodity trading centers to ap-
praise. When, after an hour of BUSH
ness wheat in Chicago showed price
variations in the active months Of only
scent, the subject was dismissed. As
matter of fact the street does not
believe that the bill will ever be enacted
into law.
The other matter Of interest was the
objections offered by the British treas
ury to the sale by a subsidiary of Drug,
me, of its holdings of the British Boots
Pure Drug Co. on the ground that It
would adversely affect the pound In
this case only one stock was affected,
Drug, Inc, which was lower but not
as weak as the bonds. The British
ruling has wide scope, however.
Declines outnumbered advances dur
ing the morning. but practically all of
them were fractional. The best support
was accorded to Chesapeake & Ohio
among the rails and to American Can,
United Aircraft and du Pont among the
induStrials. Reports from the local mo-
tor show were moderately optimistic,
and General Motors held within a mar
row range, although there was not much
of a turnover. Trading was brisk in
the various issues of McCrory Stores,
which were so weak yesterday, but
without much change in price.
1t was agreed that the market was
giving a good account of itself, every-
thing considered. There was no pres
sure and no real weakness outside Of
one or two issues. Last nights state
ment on brokers loans confirmed the
belief that stocks we're still in profess
sional hands and not likely to be hastily
liquidated.
