Instead of cutting down the amount of money they spend for clothing, people are actually spend- ing more for apparel since the auto- mobile has come into general use, according to a bulletin of the In- ternational Association of Garment Manufacturers. "No man or woman is going to climb into a shiny new car wearing a worn-shiny suit of clothes or an out-of-date hat," states this reyart. The bulletin points out that the increased contact between town and farm due to motor travel has im- proved the market in farming sec- tions.

"Another very important reason for always taking out the clutch first is for safety. It is an easy matter to leave your car in gear without knowing it, and many pe- cidents have resulted from this oversight. - . Stopping Cold Engine.
