Be Sympathetic Toward Your Car.
Do you have sympathy for your
oar? Does the knock', or jar, or rat-
tle give you a pain and make you
want to relieve the suffering «`hich
you feel the car niu-t,eudure" ;Or is
It just a bit of steel and brass and
wood, a thing without feeling, Its pro-
tests producing no Other feeling within
you than annoyance'
The man who once 'drove a -horse—
who really cared for a horse—will un-
derstand what the bond of sympathy•
is, that bond which made him notice
every limp or misstep, every sign, of
chafing or anything else which indi-
cated an irritation. He knew that as
long as it existed the horse would not
give good service. Some will under-
stand the love of a locomotive engin-
eer for his engine in the old days when
each engineer had his own .engine.
They will remember how he used to
work over it and fuss around it, and
'tiniest caress Jt, called it ••her" and,
spoke of it as if It - had human attri-
butes. He got good performance out
of it, too, and that is just what will
happen if the auto driver will cultivate
this sympathetic relation, this intim-
acy. even, with his car. -
There is a great deal of difference
produced by jamming on the bra
every time one desires to stop. T
is particularly noticeable in city t
fie, where stops are frequent, so
times sudden. The driver, caries
consequences, runs ahead at too
speed, then when he finds it necess
to stop has to jam on the emerge
brake and • bring the car to a s

Other Things to Observe.
There are many other things, ho
ever`, which do not appeal to
senses, which are just as import
and should have just as much sym
thetic attention from the driver as t
things enumerated. There .is lubri

where undue wear comes from lack of
proper lubrication. If the oil level is
not high enough the oil becomes too
thin and there is trouble.

car understands the needs and really,
