All the cylinders .should have equal vomprescion. Ong, weak cylinder will cause a disagreeable pound, which is not only annoying to the driver, but injurious to the whole mechanism. WORTH REMEMBERING. , The gasket under the spark plug often causes a slight leak by holding y a piece of dirt against the counter- sink. The dirt, even though it be I very small, may cause the gasket to permit gas leak out around the -hark plug. When replacing the plugs it is well to clean the gasket and it; -eat thoroughly.

Drive moderately on strange roads. Freshly piled roads are dangerous —drive :lowly. Don't attempt to turn out of ruts while under speed. Go slow—pasting schools, child- ren, vehicles, around corners, ap- proaching crossings. Be considerate at all times. Other users of cars have equal rights.

Coon signal from another driver approaching from the rear, pull over to the extreme right and allow him to pass. Stop—when in doubt -at rail- road crossings, behind street cars' taking on or discharging passengers. Better to cause a delay than an ac- cident. When approaching another auto• mobile at night, coming from oppos- ite direction, slow down and go as far as possible to the right. Speed means serious and fatal ac- cidents, increased tire ant, repair ex- pense, nervous prostration, loss of cupola;, loss of money, time and pleasant disposition. Spasmodic spurts of speed are dangerous. Hold the speed of the car steady —around 25 miles an Hour ---and, the destination will be reached more quickly, safely, pleas. :uttly and at less expense. In ease of accidents get nate of every witness and immediately- draw a diagram os the position of the car with reference -to all surrounding objects as as well as curbed lines.
