SlarHag: the Metor Kven most drivers who are Just beginning: to drive are familiar with the main points in starting- the car. They understand that, after tha motr is stamd., the gear abift should l put into Arat speed, and tha ci.;it:li Mowir engaged while the accelerator Is depressed; that after tbs ar has rained some momentum the .lutch should be disengaged ri,, depressing upon the accelerator again. Ford drivers, of course, pipage and difajje the clutch In t"ie same opersM-siv to y.iift gears. ?fftny driven. however, do not realize the lmpcrit:ve of two rules in starting- their rotor. First, tha s-ta. k should b tetanled. If this is r dnne the motor i.i very apt to ba-. ifire and some part of the e'.artir, or the starter's connection to jU'i.i motor Itself, will sooner or later break. In machines which are not equipped with a starter It la of exceed!g-!y dang-srous to try to crank by trand unless the spark Is rearded. Tl! erfld mle for starting: the

motor, which some drivers do not practice, ia to hare the clutch disengaged when stepping- on the startingconnection. By doing this a great load is taken off the batter?-, as it does not hare to turn over the transmission greats unnecessarily; , Many driver who hare difficulty in starting their motors in cold weather would have better socceas 1Z before turning- on tha switch, they would turn the motor over several times with the air choked, and then suddenly turn on the switch. Dy doing this they have put an exceedingly rich mixture of gas Into their cylinders which Is ready to explode aa soon as the faintest spark passes through the spark-plugs. Braking Aa ia starting the motor, there are alaw eaa or two polnta in stopping which soma drivers still do not practice. A few years ago nearly all drivers were taught to throw out the dutch before applying the brake, The best practice today, however, la te keep the dutch engage J until tha car has slewed down to about five milea an kour. To successfully do this It la. ef course, necessary have the throttle so adJusted where it corn sets with the carburetor that whan the throttle la closed, only enougi gasoline la fed Into the carburetor to keep the motor running Idle. Having- mastered the principles ef topping and starting the ear, the good driver should be wall informed upea the proper method ef steering; it, both ea city streets and country roads. Unfortunately the great majority ef drivers still do not realise the Importance of eiesely following

approved rules vt traffic "Alee-Steering!" The "Xice-fiteerer" remembers that the rear wheels do not "track"' the front wheels in turning. He allows ample, but not too much, ieeway for the rear wheels to miss ..urbs. posts, guards, traffic signals, oulldlng corners, etc. As a rule it will be found a time and trouble aaver to 'turn about" by driving around the block rather than Jamming traffic by turning- in the street, (This Is not allowed, anyway, in most communities.) It lj Irritating- to see the driver In front of you hold out his hand and Sit into tixo left-hand side of the street Just before he makes a turn to the tight If he would keep close to the rig-ht-hand curb and then turn Into his street It would not be necessary for him to hold out his hand, with the result that the machine following- him is misled, by his signal, into thinking- that he Is going to turn to the left. When turnng- to the left or stopping-, however; it is absolutely essential that the driver signal the machine behind him. In making a left-hand turn, many drivers seem to think thst they have to pull away over to the right-hand side of the street as they are about to turn across the traffic into their left-hand street. They would save much confusion te the machines behind them, if, half a block before they come to the street lntrt which they are to turn to the right, they would get into the extreme left-hand iane of traffic Then, when they are ready to turn, if they hold out the!r left

hand, machines behind them can

keep on soltig-, as they turn off to the left. In this connection, remember that the tratfle lanes near the center of the street are f' earf" that are net planning; to turn off to he rleiht at the next several streets. The traffle iau.es at the right-hand side of the street are for ears which ?tan to park or make a turn to the right in the next block or tsro. Always avoid sharp turns either

to the rltfht or to the left. When

moving- out from the curb, or when swinging into the curb, do so slowly

and gradually.

Even in avoiding bumps, ruts, and track crossings, do not more th steering- wheel too for or too suddenly, for in dolnjf so you imperil your own car as well as all neighboring cars. As long- as both front wheels, or both rear wheels, do not hit the obstacle at the same time, the results are not bad. In getting

out of street car tracks, or ruts, the wheels should be flipped quickly to one side and then quickly to the other, thereby scraping the tires as little as possible and keeping: complete control at tho same time. Skidding Sklddlnp is probably one of the most common causes of automobile accldenta Tet, if the driver Is careful, he should have no trouble from skiddinr The only skid that can be controlled absolutely la the skid that does not start. Slow, even turns. and slow, even stops and starts, will areold skidding-. Xever apply the brake suddenly and never disengage the clutch until you have almost come to a stop. On icy pavements you should never attempt to drive without tire chains. Also by keeping the windshield clean rou 111 do away with ranch of the possibility ef skids, caused by the necessity ef suddenly applying the brake. Can Tim Parkt Probably not more than one driver out ef ten can efficiently and properly park his car; The one best method of parking in a limited space Is te pull up parallel to the car behind which you ara eolng to park, and about one foot away from it. Turn the front wheels eharplr toward the eurt and centlnue to back slowly until you see that by sw inglng the front wheels hard over to the left yeur rirbt front fender will Just clear the left rear fender of tha car ahead of you. Then turn the wheels fully to the left, and back to proper position at the curb. Once you know positions at which

extreme turns are to be made you should be ablo to park your car in one backward movement. Ccmatry Drfvtmc Country driving, although not necessitating such constant alertness on the part of the driver, nevertheless demanda constant exercise of every point of good drivinp. The first thing to be learned for comfortable touring, or long-distance driving-. Is a safe method of relaxation.

Authorities agree that the safest and nanest grip on the wheel la one hand above the other, one ralm up. the other down. This grip provides the greatest leverage on the wheel with the least exertion. And all of the necessary exponents of safe drlvinsr band brake, horn, throttle.

etc., are within easy reach. On long drives. however, thr "Nlce-Steerer" will rest himself by changing bis position as much ap possible, v.-lth safety. One arm on the door, the other hand firmly on the wheel near the center, is safe. Both hands at the top or both hands at the bottom of the wheel is restful but your control is greatly weakened. The intermittent .use of the hand throttle, on good, open roads, will reet the right foot and leg. The occasional use of the hand brake, besides bein?: an excellent method of conserving both brake?, is also expedient and safe. At no tlmo should both hands be free of th wheel. Small stones, -ins. nnd biimp.o will quickly disturb

the equilibrium n?id throw the car in the ditch. Arc Yju n "Mre-SteervVT Good driving and nice steering is, for the most part, the application of good, sound, common sense.
