DRIVE GAR WITH EASE AND GRACE Motors Show to Best Advantage Under Tutelage of the Good Form Driver. | By. BRWIN GREDR, President of Greer ‘ollege of Automotive Engineering, Chi- eago.) When the pontes are clattering in| m the home stretch, all other things | seing equal, It is the headiest rider that brings his mount first under the’! wire. Just as a Kentucky filly re- sponds splendidly to the rein of a skilled driver, so does the thorough- ored of motors show its mettle to the best advantage under the tutelage of the “good form” driver. Pleasure in Motoring. Half the pleasure in motoring comes with learning to manipulate your car with consummate ease and grace. Cor- rect form in driving means minimum strain on car mechanism and tnclden- ‘ally minimum drain on the pocket- book. Velvety stops and starts pre- vent unusual strains: on the motor, clutch, transmission, axles and tires. They also cut down the consumption | of gasoline and oll. A well-made mo- | tor, like a Swiss watch, is a sensitive | thing. It resents abuse but responds); willingly, capably to gentle handling. | Starting an automobile is an art. | Simple though it may be, nevertheless | there are hordes of drivers who never acquire it. The master driver aims! to create a steady pull on the driving} mechanism from the moment he slips: Into first speed until the car Is under | full headway. To wit, a homely for mula for starting which may be taken; after the entree of gear shifting: Learn to Accelerate. Learn to accelerate simultaneously | with letting in the clutch. The me-) chanical act of gear shifting can be learned In five minutes. As soon as you have the car in high speed, assume a natural, com- fortable position, Avyoia a strained, high-tension grip on the wheel. Driv- ing a car is not tiresome if one sits in an easy upright position. The driver who slouches In his seat must be constantly shifting. He cannot apply the brakes without sitting erect. He must change his position to shift gear, It is quite as essential to know how $ i a te toe ee te Wuat would New York motorists do if it w famous thoroughfare, cutting diagonally across i half a dozen excellent parking spaces at its inters“@mhattan, makes room fo Here, for instance, is the @ctlon with the more impor Square, where Broadway cuts across Fifth ayenue, Patking space at Madiso: eren’t for Broadway? Thi to stop the car quickly and smoothly as it is to know how to start it. The operation of braking is one of the most important In driving. Worshiped at Shrine of Speed. The highways are strewn with the wrecks of cars whose drivers wor- shiped at the shrine of speed. When the crisis comes the green driver is apt to forget the counsels of his glib instructor and another accident is chalked to the toll of “I didn’t know.” If you must test the spirit of your car, wait until you are perfectly sure of your ability to drive, until you would be willing to be the man in the tonneau, You have heard many an enthusias- tic owner boast that his car could take such and such a hill on “high.” Doubtless it will, but.at the same time he is putting an unnecessary strain upon his motor when he forces such a performance. The intermedi- ate speed Is placed on the car to use, It is a mistake to allow the motor to labor. ____ Po, Second speed is a good accident preventive when threading the maze of city traffic. The car {s easily held under leash and may be stopped gently without Jamming the brakes. Only an amateur will allow his mo tor to race unnecessarily. Motor rac- ing consumes gasoline in appalling drafts, and {s also hard on the engine. After you have learned the A, B, C’s of car manipulation, adopt the accel- erator instead of the throttle-lever on | the steoring wheel When you come to a stop In traffic, don’t forget the man behind. The hand held up In warning may save a rear-end collision. Show your in- tention of swerving off into a side street by, holding out your arm hort- gontally. These signs have become accepted among motorists as a unl- versal sign language. It’s these little courtesies that help to make motoring a pleasure. ALUMINUM PISTONS ON CARS Makers Clalm Lightweight Causes Lees Vibration and Less Wear en Bearinas. Many of the lighter-weight cars em- ploy aluminum pistons, the makers claiming that the lighter-weight piston causes less vibration and consequently less friction and wear on bearings and wristpins. Owing to the fact that the piston of this metal expands more than the castiron piston, the former must be fitted less tightly in the cyl- inder than the latter, Simon Bros.

A small flock of hens instead of a large garbage can means a sizeable balance on the side of thrift. In a nutshell, that is the essence contained in the 20 pages of Farmers’ Bulletin 1331, Back-Yard Poultry Keeping; just issued by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. It is a revision of a former bulletin and contains many new suggestions and convenien- ces that will be useful to flock owners in villages, small towns and suburbs. Various uses are now made of the table waste collected from homes in towns and suburbs, but practically the only use that may be made of it on the premises is as feed for chickens, and this use, according to the bulletin, can be made very profitable if the | birds are given good housing and care. It is assumed that each hen in her pul- let year will produce at least ten dozen eggs, a reasonable requirement of only one egg every three days. The size of the back-yard flock seldom should go below ten hens. Ten birds laying eggs at the specified rate will produce 100 dozen in a year, which at the conserv- ative price of 40 cents a dozen will make the flock income $40 a year. The bulletin is really a handbook designed to answer any question that may come up in the mind of the owner of a small flock. It covers such sub- jects as the kind of fowls to keep, the size of the flock, procuring stock, hous- ing, arrangement and sanitation of yards, feeding, lice and mites, hatching and raising chicks, culling tue hens, preserving eggs, and practical point- ers. Plans and bills of materials are given for making houses of low cost and houses that will fit various con- ditions. Details are given on interior equipment such as roosts, dropping boards, nest boxes and coops for broody hens. It is suggested, for in- stance, that an orange box can be made into two good nests simply by nailing a narrow strip of board along one side to hold in the straw. The advantages of a double yard are dis- cussed, and one paragraph tells of the value of a mulberry tree in supplying succulent feed for three weeks. There is a description of an interesting de- vice for providing fresh green feed by growing oats through %-inch mesh poultry wire stretched on a frame a short distance from the ground to keep the hens from killing out the plants, Copies of the bulletin may be ob- tained, as long as the supply lasts, by writing to the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, Washington, D, C. Whitewash for Chicken House Easily Prepared A whitewash that disinfects, kills mites and brightens the poultry house is made as follows: Slake five quarts of rock lime with hot water to about the consistency of cream, To this add one pint of crude carbolic acid or zeno- leum, and one quart of kerosene, Stir thoroughly and dilute with twice its own volume of water. Apply’ with either spray pump or whitewash brush. When properly prepared, this solution serves three purposes: the zenoleum acts as a disinfectant, killing the germs; the kerosene penetrates the wood, destroying the mites, and the ime whitens the walls, making the bullding sweet and light. Strain More Important Than Breed of Chickens There is no “best breed” of chick ens. Breed does not play half the part that strain does, Pick a strair that has a record behind it, either foo eggs or fancy—whatever you desire— buy directly from the principal breed er of that strain, or from stock direc: from his strain and buy as good stocl as you can afford. There is no danger of getting th hen house too clean. se Water deep enough to dip the heat in up to the eyes must always be giver when the ducklings eat. ** * Oats, rye and new corn have neve: given good satisfaction for fattenin; poultry. oe ® Stint in the feed bucket means stin in the egg basket or milk bucket Grass won't do everything. see Feed all poultry regularly.
