Riding the clutch is an easy habit to get into, but a hard one to get out of. Become accustomed to slowing the car down with the use of the brake only. This saves the clutch and also gives one better control of the ear in wet weather. i TROUBLE IN ELECTRIC STARTER If the electric starter will not crank the engine, do not constantly depress the button until the trouble is locat- ed. This condition may cause arcing at the brushes, which will burn the commutator. Starter trouble is most :frequently due to a discharged bat- tery or a loose connection inthe system, CONSERVING POWER OF CAR. A good driver never will labor his engine needlessly. Shift into a rower speed when climbing a step grade. Conserve the power by doing this there always will be reserve power as much as possible, and by doing this there will be reserve power to fall back on. New drivers and often more experienced ones start the ear at night with all the lights turned on. It would be advisable to turn on only what is necessary, namely, the dash light. There is no need to strain the battery too much. c --toe. FITTING TUBE TO TIRE CASING. When a tube is put into a easing it should be slightly inflated and the band slipped inside the easing to feel that there are no wrinkles. The flap, or breaker strip, should be put into position in the same manner. A fur- ther precaution to avoid a pinched tube is that after the easing is on the rim, and then before final inflation run the fire tool around the bead on the both sides of the casing to allow the tube to escape into place if the beads are pinching it anywhere. This attention will prevent subsequent trouble in many instances . CLASHING OF GEARS. The clashing of transmission gears, is the result of hasty shifting and not giving the clutch the chance to throw the gears into neutral. With practice the driver soon can acquire the habit of hesitating a fraction as he shifts from one gear to another. To attain quiet changes of speed only takes a little experimenting to become acquainted with each individual car. Once found, however, the driver will know the exact fraction to hesitate skid, Skids are caused by applying, the brakes and clutch at the manta time, through uneven roads, or putt - lug on speed on a wet surface when the roar tires are thread -worn. In the first ''ase release both the clutch and brake until the wheels start pulling against the engine, thus slowing them down, in the second ease the driver has to use his own Judgement as to the cause of the skid and bring the car away from such a spot. It is then needless to say that in the last case the only advisable thing to do is 10 refrain from speeding with tires In such condition. In any event, a short swerve in the opposite direction of the skid will right the car. <1[71t), INSPECTION OF CAR NOW AT.

O Because of the large crowd at a sale of expensive furs in London, the auctioneer had to use a microphone, Toronto, April 4. — Pointing out that Canada's exports to tiie West Indies for 1928 rupr'cs,ut.d a total of $19,414,000, being an increase of $2,200,000 over 1127, the Canadian Manufacturers' Association has issu- ed a statement with the object of re feting any idea that Canadian busi- ness men are indifferent or apathetic: in the matter of trade with the West Indies. The statement follows. VISITORS UNFAIR. "Recent articles appearin;, in the press at different points of Canada indicate that a good deal of misin- formation is being circulated by re- turned visitors who snake public statements respecting conditions in the West Indies and respecting the trade between Canada and the West Indies which are not supported by a real analysis of all the facts. Th, Commercial Intelligence Department of the Canadian Manufacturers' As- sociation have had these report; and articles drawn to their attention and have been asked to provide some information swpplementing that which has been receiving publi- city respecting the trade I, twecn Canada and the West Indies. 'It has been stated that Canadian business men have not been talcine advantnge of their opportunities to the British West Indies. Canada's ex- ports to the West Indies increased by 53,300,000 far J928 over the year ending Starch 311, 1t)27. The increas- ed sale of $2.200,000 of n;annfactur- ed goods per year in a widely clis, tributed market is no man's task,. however willing the buyers may be as any sales manger will attest. In the year and a half between the two ',minds whose figures are compared.

When,cnm- pared with the business done by Canada's prince, a1 comp:Mors or, the basis of enumerative production, or relation to 1,;srieetive total ex- ports trade, Canada stands in a t ry high rank indeed in tits British We:t Indies. CRITICISMS MADE "Criticisms are made bated en the complaints of one or -two West In- dians whose dealings with one or two Canadians have not been fully satisfactory There are few places in the world where mutual ''lith in one plays n t:•1•enter part; 111 the continu- ance of good insures- relations Than in the British Wet. Indies, That such instances for criticsm are rare is the heat evidencev by the factt that Canada's business has c.ontwucd to gross ; new lines of goods are hefts steadily introduced with completely satisfactory results, "It is suggested that few Cana- dian salesman visit the West Indies, How can any casual visitor doter - mine that point?

It is difficult to support the criti- cism that Canadian business men are indifferent or • apathetic when one looks at our total export trade to all the British West Indies. In the last calendar year it reached a total of $19,414,000. It takes real effort and real service to sell the quantity of goods represented by that sum. The growth of business is the real test and will continuously act as a real incentive to Canadian exporters to maintain their steady use of the im- proved steamship, tradir'- ^rd bank- ing facilities now offered and to enlist further' aid for the Canadian trade commissioners' who have given Such fine service in the Carribbean territories." r.
