SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1924. ae artomobile AND yaad a CARE By E H Scott -vw an Expert Driver Handies His Car Every once in a while we read that a certain make of car has been driven from coast to coast in record time. Few of these reports give the name of the man who drove the car, yet it is a fact it is very often his expert driving that makes the record possible. You might put any one of a hundred drivers behind the wheel of the same car and few of them would equal the expert's record and probably a large numa -rauld sever even complete the trip. ». uriver can use a car for,two years and wil) have it in ster condition at the end of that time than will an inexperienced driver at the end of only one year’s Tunning. | ‘ The expert driver can maintain a high average speed on the road while the poor driver can do this only with considerable risk to the car or himself. i In this article I am going to give you a few pointers on how the expert driver handles his car and = good candition. | ,_ ‘When an expert driver engages first speed, he speeds up the engine | just fast enough to start the car moving as he lets in the clutch, then GRADUALLY speeds up for about ten or fifteen yards. Second speed is then engaged and the engine speeded up enough to keep increasing the speed of the car gradually. op gear is engaged after the car has traveled about thirty-five or forty yards from the starting point. The expert driver (except when driving a racing car) never speeds up his engine so fast that it races or screams or lets in the clutch with a bang. You can do more harm to an engine racing it up for five or ten seconds than you will in fifty miles of ordinary running. If you-let in the clutch with a bang, a very seyere strain is pit on every part of the driving mechanism and sooner or later this and shortens the life of the car. Watch an expert driver in traffic. When he has to slow down to eight or nine miles an hour, he changes to second gear, then when traffic speeds up, he can speed up quickly and surely. The poor driver hates to change down to lower gear, gen- = erally preferring to allow the clutch to siip so that he can hang on to top gear. It is a very bad practige to slip the clutch’ for it burns out the clutch facings and makes it - gray er engage with jerks.

A large number of drivers are afraid to. change down to a lower gear because they are not sure they can do it without clashing gears. Changing from a high to a lower gear is just as casy as changing from a low te a higher gear. The reason why it seems harder to change from a high to a lower gear is because the average driver has never attempted * to learp properly how to do it. He just throws out the clutch and jams iff the gear and chances to luck to make a good change. At a U later date I will describe a very easy method of changing gears silently and surely under all conditions, AUTO TRAFFIC —TENORMOUS (Continued trom Page One) = how long.Casper can continue with- H gut adequate control of this ve- -hicle movement.

It gives the good performance which men, that depend as much on their cars as doctors do, must have. No doctor can afford any sort of motor trouble. The difference between Conoco and gasoline not so good, in a doctor’s car, may well mean the dif- ference between life and death. “With Conoco in my gasoline tank, I know my car is always ready to start—always ready to take me on my rounds with- out a bit of fuss or worry. Conoco supplies the reserve power needed for bad roads and hard grades, and the speed— even excessive speed which emergency sometimes demands. A doc- tor thinks of many other things before price but Conoco gives excellent mileage, and I am sure it is cheapest in the long run. Its quality is uniform wherever I buy it and I experience no difficulty in obtaining it wherever my professional duties take me.” Conoco is formulated just about as carefully as a doctor’s prescription. It is a balanced product—clean and clean burning. It contains the right por- tion of highly volatile fractions required for satisfactory starting; the heav- ier fractions needed to provide power and good mileage: and a sufficient number of n:edium fractions, in between, to form an unbroken chain of boil- ing points. The same qualities which recommend Conoco to Doctors also recommend it to all other motorists.

A National Tribute to Nash. 7,800 Cars Oversold Despite: Record-breaking Output ; Though Nash preduction is at the highest level ever attained —still the demand from every section of the country for these new Advanced Six and Special Six models has swept sales to a point so far be- yond the best previous mark that unfilled orders total 7,800 cars. Nothing that we might say could add the weight of a straw to this irrefutable evidence that men . and women everywhere do see cleatly in these new cars unparalleled excellence and value. Happily, with increased output unreasonable delay is eliminated for those who act with promptitude in placing orders. And deliveries will be made on the rotation basis which is fair to all.
