ECGII LESSON BY AMAUTD EXPERT Manager of Hollier Agency Gives Out Some Valuable Valu-able Pointers. For the edification of the automobile drivor who lias not been taught the prim essentials or carefully operating I a motor car, General Manager Miller of the Miller-Cahoon company, diatriubtors for Hollier caie, has act forth a few valuable tips. "The pointers as Sfiven by Mr. Miller are of vital importance, because if followed fol-lowed a decree in upkeep expenses will follow, Mr. Miller claims. Close observation of the mistakes made by automobile owners in turning corners and in starting their machines have been carefully noted by Mr. Miller. Mil-ler. Remedies for these fallacies have been advanced, and if heeded, by mo-, torists, a decrease in upkeep costs of any car is almost certain. I l .Nowadays the great cry is how to 1 economize in opejatinjr an automobile, ,f j said Mr. Miller. "The cost of gasoline and oil has threatened to rise to a : premium price. Hand in hand with this ; increase comes the possibility of an advance ad-vance in the cost of automobile parts. For this reason it behooves every automobile au-tomobile purchaser nnd owner to follow fol-low advice and suggestions doled out by experienced mechanics. For instance, when approaching a corner, allow the motor to slow down with the car. This' will save brakes and will not work any hardships on the engine. It is the common custom for a driver to speed into a turn and if the course is not clear, slam on the brakes, disengage the clutch and race the engine. The sudden stopping of ' the car with the motor racing has a , tendency to severely strain the engine, and in time does considerable harm. 1 There is also caused an excessive waste of pnGoline and oil, while the brakes : in time burn out. "Another mistake commonly made by th average driver is the manner in which the car is brought to a stop. Do not race the motor when a stop is being effected, as it has a tendency to loosen the bearings, and which in time causes more damage than if the car had ' been put through a difficult stunt. I Then, too, in starting from a curb, ! speed up the motor just enough to pull ; away smoothly instead of racing the motor and throwing in the clutch. The above method eliminates all possibility of straining the wheels and differential and loosening the universal joint." Mr. Miller also stated that' the Hollier Hol-lier "Six" is built to stand the strain of every-day use, and that it is built of real materials, capable of standing severe punishment. But always ready to advise motorists, Mr. Miller deemed it advisable to issue this advice to motorists mo-torists during the present period of enocomy. A number of HolUers are on display at the Miller-Cahoon 's salesrooms in Murray,' ready for immediate delivery.
