The result is that the car keeps moving forward faster than the traffic allows, and so the brake has to be applied constantly to check it. in adjusting the carburetor, where it regulates theo position of the throttle when it is supposed to be closed. Turning the screw back a little will pernut less gas to be 1 through the carburetor and so the engine idling more slowly. As a result, the driver will be re- lieved of the strain of workime both brake and throttle in traffic to such an extent. He will find driving more restiul, And he will get mle age. lies the The remedy stop screw at more GREATER DISTANCE NEEDED Passing another car gomg in the same direction is not the same simple task in winter that it at other geasons. The cautious remember that, under most circum- stances, it is necessary to have .a clear road for a greater distance ahcad. This is duc to the fact that there always is a chance to send the car into a skid by a sudden applica- tion of power or the brakes, or by a quick twist of the steering wheel, Any one of the three may be neces- sary if the clear stretch ahead is in- adequate. 15 1 plied by the suction of the engine motorist will SATERS 0° LADIE iber of Feminine Drivers ~ Shows Marked Increase -- By Automotive Engineer Anyone wha believes that the ladies have not much to say in 'he selection of cars, can learn something interesting by dropping n at any busy automobile sales- '00m and chatting with some of 'he salesmen who have been in he husiness for a few years. A reat many of the cars that are elng bought this year are going ywards supplying the so-called socond car" market. This simply | means that the lady of the house | demands a car of her own so she can get about at will This "second car' market is par- ticularly strong in the suburbs. In fact a word of advice may be given to ladies: Statistics show that it you want a car of your own you should either take a position or live in the suburbs, as most lady owners are either earning their living or are living in the suburbs and presumably keeping house. However, the effect of the greatly increased number of fem- inine drivers is noteworthy, if we can credit the statements that the women who are picking out cars are making some real demands on the makers for ease of control and other attributes. The first requirement generally made by the lady in picking out her car is light hrake and clutch pedal aetion and this wish the makers are certainly granting. The pedal action on the new cars is lighter by far than was imagined possible a few years ago. One of the makers of high priced cars 1s even putting on a vacuum brake | booster which allows the brakes to be controlled Ly a very light touch, the real pressure being sup- lagainst a diaphragm which muliti- Cops Arrest Cars That Break Laws Portland, Ore, Mar. 2.-- Arresting the car and mak- ing it a prisoner is . the answer of Portland's police force to the traffic prob- lem.

M, writes: I have laid up my car for the winter and have stored the battery fn the cellar. Win it injure it to leave it there until warm weather? Answer: No, it is a good place for it. However, a battery tends to discharge, even thought it is not in use and it is detrimental for it to remain in a discharged con- dition for any great length of time. You should test the cells with a hydrometer occasionally and if you find that they have become dis- charged, you should have the bat- tery put on charge. Also, be sure that the plates are covered with liquid at all times. Very likely you will find that the battery needs no attention, but it is well to in- spect it once in a while, Even in a cold cellar, there is no danger of freezing, so long as the cells are not nearly run down. Motorists running. through Califor- nia with lights in violation of the California vehicle act must appear within 24 hours with lights properly adjusted nroved this situation. Along with this improvement in the seating situation there is another tend- eney that is proving welcome ro hoth lady and gentlemen drivers, this is the adjustable driver's seat in the coach.
