If this fails, however, another pro- a Then as the driver approaches a bad' cedure is to jack up the wheels midi' " spot he should shift his gears intol build as'substantial a road as possible either second or first speed as his under them by filliag up the holes with! engine is less' apt to stall under such small stones. It may be necessary first coaditions, to build up some sort of foundation In case there are some well worn on which t� place the jack before it ruts he may decide that it will be best to get in them.' These grooves in the road indicate the path other cars have taken. A driver can assume that if no other cars are in sight then. those which preceded him must have got through somehow. Having got into ruts ofathis sort it is far better to keep in them than to try getting out. In undertaking to get out the taming of the front wheels tends to slow the car down tremeadously as these wheels thus turned haves» similar effect to putting on the brake. Of course, if it is Absolutely neces- sary to get out ef a rut in order to proceed that is seornething else again; • can be made to function, A piece of board or brick or something of the land can usually be found in the car, by the road or at a nearby house to help in such an emergency. Still another method which has been found to 'work •sticcessfully at times when it comes to getting a car out•of a hole consists of digging the mud or sand away from the freat of the - wheel, so that the road fcr a few feet ahead will be on a level with the bot - tem of the hole. This rimy make it possible for the driver in proceeding, to get up enough speed, elhile on this level to carry him througli to a better road. I TOM'S ESCAPE FROM - A SAILOR FISH 7 By ,T. F.
