Slow Up Gradually
On Slippery Streets

At this season of the year too many
of us are inclined to assume that we
have gone most Of the way toward
safety if we curb our speed. That,
however, is only part of the process.
Important also is the matter Of curb
ing the speed at which we slow
down. A safe rule when the streets
are slippery is to take twice as much
as the usual distance for every stop.
IL VIII DO more to forestall . skid

Auto Averages
$50 Gallons of
Gas q Year

Average consumption of gaso-
line per motor vehicle Is about
$50 gallons annually, according
to the American Petroleum In
stitute. On that basis the aver
age person can expect to drive
an automobile safely for ap-
proximately $50 years.
Highway deaths per 10000
600 gallons of gasoline consumed
in 1887 stood at 20.4, q decline
of 3 per cent under 1896, and
the lowest rate for any year
since 1925, the. first year for
which reliable statistics are
available. In 1925 the rate OF
highway deaths was 25.5 per
10000, 900 gallons Of gasoline
consumed. At the present rate
of progress, the highway death
rate for 1898 will reach the all
time record low Of only 1853 per
10000, 900 gallons Of gasoline.

Preparing Radiators
For Cold Season

Here is q little trick which you
can use to good advantage when
cleaning out the radiator in prepar-
alton for the colder seasons ahead:
Disconnect the radiator from the
engine and reverse flush it with q
flushing gun inserted at the lower
hose. Use enough flushing COM
pound to loosen all deposits, and
allow yourself plenty of time. The
solution and water used for the job
should be as hot as possible, and
during the operation test the radia-
tor core by feeling for cold spots.
Wherever the core is cold you will
know there is a clogged section. Not
until such spots warm up will the
obstruction be removed

Teachers Are Best Pay,
Collectors Declare

In spite of variable business con-
ditions, collections are favorable in
car financing, according to reports.
Collectors place schoolteachers at
the top Of the list, with the average
buyer . close second. There seems
to be . general feeling that pay
ments must be met at all costs and
that the car is one Of the few
things the public Is unwilling to
give up.
