Show ECONOMIZING GASOLINE I WAS going off for a motor trip with very little knowledge of the habits and vagaries of automobiles In general and this one In particular. "If you want to save gasoline," Spencer said to me, "drive steadily at a moderate speed. It takes gasoline to stop and start the car frequently, and nothing eats it up like pushing the machine beyond Its normal speed." I was Interested. An automobile Is apparently not unlike un-like people. Kinney was building a house for me. It was begun in April and was to be finished by September. The work dragged at first and I spoke to him about It. "Don't worry." he said, "we have oceans of time. I'll have the job finished fin-ished a month before the day agreed upon." He was mistaken, however. There were delays at a crucial time, a strike laid the men off for two weeks, and when September came, although Kinney was "steppin' on 'er" hard, the house lacked a month of completion. He had wasted his opportunities at the beginning and no matter how much gasoline he used up at the end he could not make the grade. . There was Culver, on the other hand, who did his work so regularly that he never seemed rushed or worried for fear he would not be finished in season. sea-son. Other fellows thought that Culver Cul-ver was lucky or a genius but the real explanation was that he was a steady, consistent worker, who economized his gasoline throughout the whole trip. He got farther with the expenditure of less energy than anyone else I ever knew. The fellow who does his work regularly, regu-larly, who keeps from worry, who sets for himself a moderate intellectual pace and keeps It every day will accomplish ac-complish more by the end of the year than the fellow who works by fits and starts, who loafs h( the beginning of the week, and then pushes himself to n pace of fifty miles an hour on Sunday. Sun-day. It Is the moderate uniform rate of speed that saves the nerves and economizes the gasoline. Very few young people give much thouclit to the future.
