If your car is a new one there is some means provided for warming the inlet manifold, such as casting it in- side the cylinder block so that it will be warmed by the water jackets. An old engine will have to be fitted with a manifold in which inlet and exhaust pass through the same casting, so that the exhaust heats the inlet and so warms the gas Do you carry an extra set of lamp bulbs so that one ¢an be replaced as soon as any burns out?

U-Boat Menace Offset by Using Farm Tractors, : England led the way for the adep- tign of the farm tractor as a war ma- chirie, Threatened by isolation from the food-producing countries of the western hemisphere by the submarine che took heroic measures to protect herself from famine . The minister of agriculture organ- ized an army of tractors, placed head- lights on them, and ploughed day and might for weeks and weeks in the spring of the year. When the har- vest was gathered and England found che had enough food to withstand ay blockade of submarines for an- cther year credit was given to the tractor as the most elective weapon of warfare yet discovered. Farnce had the same experience. The sovernment subsidized the manu- facture of tractors and organized scnools for their operation. Don't Fasten Tow-line to- Axle. No one cares to think much about being towed home, but not to make matters worse some thought should be given to the subject. In attaching the rope which is to be used in the towing many drivers fasten it to the axle, which is wrong. The rope should be attached to one of the front portions oi the frame. so that the pull comes on the chasis The same thing apphes to the car' doing the towing, except that the rope-should be fastened to some part of the rear of the frame. : : Te Stop an Auto. The best metaoa of stopping an au- tomobhile is to leave the clutch in and take the foot from the accelerator, ap- plying the brake gently when about twp car lengths from the spot at Iwhich it is desired to stop, releasing the clutch at about five miles an hour, or even less, so as not to stall the en- gine. Contrary to popular belief, this ap- plication of the brakes with the ei e in gear does no harm whatever if the throttle is closed to the wling position. Ti » SN EAA hI : Aged Man Motors Far. J. E.

At the present time, however, the used car is not a thingho be despised.
