The pump is arranged #0 that when the proper pressure ts Feached it is automatically cut off, Tnlimited pressure can be attained, Cartand says.

It’s a fact. Being an automobile editor, he knows nothing about automobiles. But he has one, and he drives it. Last Sunday he went out for a little ride, and the little ride stretched into a big ride. Then the baby got restless and demanded nourishment—de- manded it in tones that drowned out the rhythmic plunking of the pistons. Better get back to Seattle, thought he, and shoved his foot down to the floor. No, he didn’t skid, or get into an accident. He got into a long line of cars. If you drive, or if you have been driven, you know what a long line of cars means on the highway. It’s like a parade with a lame man in the lead. It barely moves. Now and then some nervous lad up ahead pops out of the line and starts for the front. If a stage is coming, he hunts a hole in th» line again. Sometimes he gets away, and that puts your car nearer to the lame one who is holding up the procession, It took the automobile editor an hour to drive about 15 miles in the line Sunday afternoon. And all the time the baby kept right on shouting for his eats—said eats being in the ice box many miles away. Finally the auto ed. zipped out into the road and shot past the slow driver who led the line. He tells it this way: “I thought some nice old lady was driving the car up ahead, but I was mistaken. | It was a young sap about 20. He was driving with one hand. He had two hands, but the other one was around a fluffy bit of femininity who rested her head lovingly on his shoulder. I yelled at him. But he didn’t quicken up his speed at all. Just kept right on at 10 or 15, miles an hour.” Now then, folks, here’s the automobile editor’s idea. Listen: If you're out on the highway and a crazy driver nearly shoves you in the ditch, sit down and write us about it. We'll keep your name out of the paper, but you must sign your letter. Tell us about your auto experiences. If you find a good picknicking place, tell us that, too. If you find a good road, or a bad road, or a bad curve the* isn’t marked, or a mean cop, or an accommodating garage man, or a robber restaura- teur, or a creek where there's fish, write us about it. “Let the folks who drive—and that’s a big percentage of all the people—get their Strikes us it’s a good one. | CLEANED OFTEN ARE IN DISPUTE | with clothes in need of pressing and | purpose. auto troubles off their chests,” says the auto ed. So we are going to start a “Get It Off Your Chest” department in next Saturday's automobile section of The Star.
