A burned out fuse on one's car in the country is very inconvenient if thére are no spares with which to replace it but if the motorist will carry a little tinfoil in his box of odds and ends he can make a ser- viceable temporary repair in a min- ute, As a matter of fact anyone who smokes cigarettes or chews gum or eats candy on the road usually has | some tinfoil on his nerson and so it is not necessary to make a special point of including it with the tools. wrapped with one or two layers of box. Care should be taken mot to wrap the fuse too heavily, as if this is done damage is liable to resylt to the wiring if it is suddenly stressed wil. an overload.--Motor for Jan- ua y. Gear Ratio, On the cars which were made sev- eral years ago the gear ratio be- tween the engine and rear wheels averaged about three and one-half to ope, On most of the cars at the present time the gear ratio is nearer four and one-half to one. This is made possible by the use of the pres- ent high speed éngine. This means that it Ia comparatively easy to start most of the modern cars on second speed with no serious results, The only possible damage that could be done by starting on second or even on third would be either stalling the engine or causing excessive wear |. on the clutch, due to the unpeces- sary slippage required to get the car started.
