A Reaul Compact Car Way Back In 1927! When 1 tell myr chiidren that suci automotive innovations as compact cars and stick shifts date back b miy own youth, liey re- gard the dlaimn with skepticism.

Tires were a problem-, howvever. Not as pressingz a problemn as gaso- iiie, as long, as the patches held out, but a problemn, writes Robert, W. Wells in the Christian Sciencec Monitor. My recollection is that duLring the several vears 1 drove the car I bought only, one new tire for it. That occurred on a Sunday drive with a girl froni Rock Cree)k. I dressed for mny date in a dleant white shirt and white duckz pantz. although I should have known,, better. When the first blow,,ou-t came, Iaccepted it as no miore- than I ha!d expected. [ took the rimr and tire off of wheel pried the rira apart -- rimrs vwere not a sOlid piece of metal in those days - remnoved the tire, patched the tube, put the tire back on the rim, fastened the iug nuts a-nd1 pum-p- ed up the tire.

I elimbed out,' took off the rim, removed the tire, added a patch to the collection already present on the 1tube, put the rimr and tire back-i 1on the wvheel an-d pumped uIp t1he tire. When we wvere underw,%ay again, 1 was hot and weary anId my once white clothes were a mess. The girl from Rock Creek had ne-ver ridden in Philbert be- fore. She regarded mie quizzical- ly. "Do you alwaYs have thi1s many flats?" "We're over Our quota.," I told her. "I sually average oneiii eýach 2U.3miles.

Tht absence of a self-starter was fliot a major drawback. Everyone knew how to crank a car tiien, just as every motorist k-new how ta patch an muner tub>e or cIean~ a spark plug.
