It reuires about twenty times as
long to replace current of the bat-

for this reason it is a bad practice to
allow the engine to spin with start-

a few turns, there Is something
wrong, either in the ignition or car-

it,

Do not retard the mirk if the

probably due to poor compression

SHIFT GEARS WITH CARE
Clutch carelessness causes more
wear on cars than any other one
thing and a clutch let
in with sudden force will make the
driving wheels turn a little on their
tapering axle ends. Looseness at
this point actually becomes a
safe-guerd; therwise pinion and
ring gear would have to endure more
strain than at present. Universal
joints are strained by sudden appli-
cation of power, especially if they
are worn to a point where they are
loose. Sudden stepping on the gas
pedal is more apt to strain
the clutch and the rest of the drive
line, though it also frequently loos-
ens the rear wheels from axles, in-
jures the universal joints, strains the
