Her two cars have led TO o number
OF valuable discoveries about cars, in
cluding no less than an understanding
OF the difference between torque and
horsepower. She noticed that one
car seemed to take hold 50 much bet
ter than the other In the speed range
btween rs and IS, yet the other car
had a higher horsepower rating. Ex-
perimenting q little she found that
with the more powerful car the power
peak seemed to be between IS and IS,
that being the best speed range for
accelerating 1t. Torque. she reasoned,
is the twisting dig in" power OF an
engine, while actual power peak Is
somthing that may show up ut an al
together different point.
The speed at which your engine
seems to be developing its greatest
power usually Is Just the speed at
which torque is greatest. II you can
just picture the amount of horsepower
needed to propel the car fast against
wind resistance you will appreciate
that the real horsepower peak Is some
where around the speed of 10 for the
average car today. Over q certain
point an engines horsepower starts to
fall because heat, friction and other
factors rise to point where they be-
come troublesome. II you read car
catalogues you'll note that horsepower
Is invariably given for q certain motor
speed, usually somewhere between
5000 and $500 revolutions per minute
Of the engines shaft. This does not
mean that the engine will not rotate
faster. but simply that faster rotation
will not produce higher power.
The motorist who goes 10000 miles
without changing the spark plugs is
apt to be the kind who will not OBJ
tain desired results when she does
make up her mind to make the
change. That Is because while over
looking the plugs she win be ignoring
other things that need attention, as,
for example, the breaker points and
the ignition wiring. No wonder new
plugs somtimes are q disappointment.
The man who cut in had no busi-
ness thinking he had room to pass
two cars, but that didn't serve as any
logical excuse for the woman over
taken to act as II she were being run
on the road. When some one has
cut back into line the logical step Is
to slow down and give him the room
he will have to take. It's q sort of
game in which teamwork Is essential.

And when you go to have the brakes
adjusted to compensate for the Sum-
mer wear be sure to see that the serv-
ice man reduces the clearance between
the brake shoes and the drums. Brake
experts will do this without your re-
minding them, but I mention 1t in
case you happen to risk your car with
some one who isn't as well informed
and who may try to adjust the brakes

Most players now would make the
mistake of leading a club toward

You are assured Of your contract
even though you were to lose two
club tricks-and you are pretty sure
of being able to get an end play

The proper play is to lead a

lay down five straight heart tricks,
getting yourself down to the eight

spades.
In the meantime, dummy is down

East, however, becomes squeezed.
