The whole sccret lies in the ability of the driver to shift into “second’ as soon as he has gotten a start If he stays in “low” too long the street car will get away from him while he 1is trying to shift to “second.” If he shifts to second” at about threé miles an hour, and ad- | vances the spark as he feeds gas, the machine will get away like light- ning. He can remain in '“second” until he has a good lead on the car. pelsaat e i RULE TO PREVENT RUST. When the car is brought into the heated garage after being out in the cold, watch the nickel trimmings. | Moisture will condense on the lamp rims, the radiator, the door handles and other nickeled parts. If this is not dried off, or the nickel trimmings polished more frequently than usual, rust will collect at an excessive rate. Young. Boston: Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Company. MARDEE GRAY’S CHOICE.

Pays More Than Fair Share. The American Automobile Assoclation also points out that in addition to the war exclse tax placed on the products of the automotive industry which the motorist pays directly, the motorist pays more than his fair share of state, | county, township and.city taxes of many various kinds with new taxes constantly being added to his burden. Heretofore, sald an officiel of the American Automobile Association, mo- torists of the country have been qui- escent In their demand for the repeal of this war tax, as they realized the government must raise money to take care of the expenses incurred by th war even though they paid a di criminatory tax. . The legislative board of ‘the American Automobile Associatalon made an urgent demand of the last Congress for relief. The committee was frankly told by the lawmakers in the last Congress that the tax was admittedly discrimina- tory, but the revenues produced were #0 large the government could not at that time afford to relinquish them, although the excise tax on other products_was either removed or re- duced. The committee was told au- tomotive products were next in line for relief. With the surplus existing the American Automobile Association belfeves that the tax can be removed without creating the danger of a deficit.

The 13,000,000 automobile owners of the United States who have submitted in the past to the payment of a war tax of 5 per cent on passenger cars, tires, accessories and parts, and 3 per cent on motor trucks, together with the many thousands of motor cycle owners who have pald a similar tax, will make a de- mand for the removal of this war tax of the next Congress, according to the American Automobile Assoclation, which has launched an active campalgn against the continuation of what the association terms an unfair tax upon & necessary means of individual trans- portation. The reasons assigned for the demand of the American Automobile Associa- tion on behalf of the motorists of the natlon are that the tax on motor vehi- cles, tires, accessories and parts is and has been discriminatory and that what- ever merit there might have been in the argument that such a tax was neces- — | perhaps catching the owner un: Sary as a revenue producing measure for war purposes has been destroyed by Mildness governs more than anger. | awares. the recent statement of Secretary of Motor Cold? 000,000 and $300,000,000. —— Points to Wallace Statement.

Un- der no circumstances would he offer much above the average figure the concensus of opinion held to be the real value. “At first automoblle buyers did not quickly see the advantage to them of this plan. They were wont to shop around for the highest offer, but the business-like dealer soon convinced Ts that the advantages of buying the most desired car at a reasonable exchange rate overbalanced the im- nmediate consideration of a high used car price. “This does not mean that used car allowances have decreased greatly. Dealers are learning more about used car merchandising each season. They have found that many troubles which usually developed in used cars the first few weeks of ownership and made second-hand automobiles less satisfactory are preventable, “Consequently when a used car ex- change {s made, the car goes directly to the shop and the many small ad- justments that the owner may have neglected are attended to. At a slight service gxpense, the used car really becomes much more valuable to its second owner than to the first at the time of his exchange for a new model. “That makes for better prices and better prices mean higher trade lowances. With the co-operation of the public the automobile industry is reaching the state where the used car is no longer a problem, but a valuable accessory to mew car business. “The_dealer policy of standing firmly behind the merits of used cars | and correctly representing their con- dition has aspread like wildfire over the country. It has been accepted | with eager approval by the public, | which more readlly now purchases | used car —_— { A single pair of sparrows and a nest of young ones will consume | about 3,000 Insects a week.
