By BOB HALE In order to do a thing correctly, one must first know how to do it and why It should be done. After one knows how It Is done, it becomes be-comes simple. That applies to most phases of driving an automobile, believes A. F. Abelhouzen, Instructor In motor vehicle operation. "In driving your far, you should be able to manipulate the controls without conscious effort. If you hesitate In operating a control, you have not had sufficient practice and do not have sufficient knowledge knowl-edge of the mechanical functions of your, car," according, to Mr. Abelhouzen. "In any driving situation sit-uation where you do not know what to do, your car becomes the master of the situation and usually usu-ally the car does the wrong thing. Your Car Will Obey "On the other hand, the driver Is the governing factor behind a marvelous bit of engineering precision. pre-cision. Your car will do your bidding bid-ding at any time you wish. Your knowledge of the machincal principles prin-ciples of your car and the physical physi-cal forces encountered Is the factor fac-tor In safety that must be achieved." As his first lesson, Mr. Abelhouzen advises on starting the motor. He points out that the driver should know something of lubricating lubri-cating principles of the motor. After a car has remained Idle for a time, oil In vital parts of motor mo-tor and transmission has drained off. It then takes some time for oil to circulate and begin again its job of lubrication. When a car has remained idle In cold weather, weath-er, a longer warm-up period should be allowed. Prime the Carbureor As a preliminary step In starting start-ing operations, Mr. Abelhouzen advises ad-vises this, which may surprise a lot of persons and form a new, proper driving habit for them: "Before ever attempting to start the motor, first, prime the carburetor. carbu-retor. On most' cars, this is best done by pressing the accelerator pedal several talmes, allowing the pump action of the mechanism to fill the carburetor bowl. You will find that this will eliminate a large part of the choking that had been necessary previously." (Nest: More on Starting.)
