Sometimes you reach the crossing just in time to start off with them. thus saving your brakes, your gears and your gas. Incidentally, you save your temper for more important use. When it appears that the car cannot be brought to a stop in time to avold hitting the back of the car ahead, do not try to turn off to the right or the left if there is other traffic around you By running straight into the veh ahead the bumper has an opportunity to protect vour car and you do not run the risk of involving other cars in the collision.

Some idea of the extent of deliberate destruction of motor cars by fire for the purpose of making fraudulent clalms against Insurers can be formed from the fact that during 1922 in the state of Connecticut about 90 per cent of the 800 cars, valued at $1.120.000, and burned. were illegitimate losses WE TEACH IVING Experienced Teachers AMERICAN MOTOR SCHOOLS 1620 You St. N.W.

Mr. Hancock. who has traveled 10,000 miles to learn more about American-built cars, reports that business {s booming in the island continent, particularly as regards the sale of automobliles, and more par- ticularly as regards the sale of Amer- | ican-made cars. ‘At least 75 per cent of all the cars in Australia, and there are over 100,- 000 cars, are American-made,” says Mr. Hancock. “The balance are Eng- lish, Italian and French cars Aus- tralia {s rapidly cultivating .the American idea of trading in cars after a neriod of two or three years.

It is recogniz- ed that the majority of European cars are constructed on a more solid and lasting basis, which. of course, aecessitates a higher seiling cost— ibut fashions in models change, and people over there like to be up-to- date, and, therefore, prefer to pur- chase the American car and trade in more frequently Cont of Motoring. cost of motoring higher in Australia than country.” continued Mr. “Take the Ford, for Instance.
