The Experienced Driver.

Experienced auto drivers make it a practice to always look at the gear shift lever before cfanking a car; also to note the position of the spark control lever. Of course the experienced driver always leaves these in the right position, but he takes no chances on anyone having changed them. Now that moßt cars are equipped with selfstarters, there is not so much trouble from cranking with the gears in mesh or with the spark advanced, but it also Injures the starting device to violate these rules, and even with a self-start-er on the car, you should observe them.
