He remains the same quiet, modest, well-bred youngster he was before be became famous. Veteran critics see in Milton's driv ing many characteristics that once featured the work of Barney Old field master driver of the older generation of pilots. This fact is undoubtedly caused by the close frier-dship which exists between the present speed king, and the first iolder of the crown. To a great extent. Milton is an Oldfield protege.

The course, consisting of five lectures and demonstrations, alms to give instruction in driving, mechanical operation and traffic reg ulations, and recognizes "the desire on the part of women automobile drivers not only to lessen accidents, but to establish a reputation for Minneapolis as a city having the most efficient women drivers In the country." Topics covered Include rules of the road, teamwork on the street, traffic rules and regulations, hazards and accident prevention, lectures and demonstrations on the practical me chanics of cars, and demonstrations of proper driving. Does Practical Work. At recent meeting each pupil was requested to Indicate the make of car which she drives, distributers having agreed to provide a chassis and dem onstrator for each for the following session. The subject of this lecture demonstration was, "What you should know (mechanically) about your car" Following the talk, each woman driver had opportunity to go directly to the make of car which she uses and obtain advice from the demon strator provided and to go over me chanical details with an expert. First Don't "Window Shop. Some of the direct results of the course have been the clearing up of many legal points regarding traffic regulations and liability for acci dents and damage; a better under standing of the responsibilities and obligations of drivers both in city and country, and the formulation of "commandments'" to guide women motorists. These are as- follows -Do not window shop walls driving. Watch traffic carefully. Do not expect right of vray from men. Do not park at fire hydrants. Use hands to signal turns at street intersetlons. Use the proper hand. Watch the traffic of f leer that's what he Is there for. Learn the peculiarities of your ear. Attend the automobile Instrne tlon school for women drivers. A part of each session is set aside i for queries which have Indicated, by their variety ana tne serious oz tne women, the keen interest which the course has aroused. From Motor World.

A marked freedom from trouble. 5. A remarkahle dollar for dollar value in the list price. Special steels in the Maxwell cut down the costs and build up the efficiency. These are steels made to Maxwell's own formulae and they equal the steels, pound for pound, in any car built. They are of great strength. They make possible light weight construction, which is the goal of scientific engineering. Why carry around useless weight? Why burden engine and tires -with superfluous pounds? Costly as these steels are, they pay hack handsome returns in ever increasing friendships for Maxwell. They build up sales, decrease "overhead" and daily enlarge the great Maxwell family.

II FINDS ROAD MAP TROUBLE SAVER When I vent in for golf. I took somebody's advice and bought my clubs at McPherson's, a golf dab hos pital and second hand shop. So far as I know, even when I was shooting 110. I dldnt bur a manual on stance or stroking- Not any. I dubbed around, contributed to the 11th and learned. Ko book can teach you. I never bought a handbook on Dridre, though I'm considered a pillar of the game by the gang in the smoker, who endorse my cheeks. But on the level when it comes to touring I wouldn't 'drive down the street to the barber's without tour ing guidance. Before I Joined the S. D. U. T. L Society Deaf to Useless Touring Information there wasn't a big road in my states t-ever mind which state into whoee bosomy em brace I hadn't once or twice thrust my car. I knew 'am by names both Christian and profane. I'd start out on a Sunday morals? with high hopes and the family, and we'd trickle out ot town as ezubrant with Diana as a new husband. But sometimes, before me got back, the oral touring advice of some dish .faced volunteer would find us imitating C Columbus, except that Mr. Columbus never had a voyage as rough. Nobody can tell me that the thuggiat wave can be as hard as some of the roads rve known. U Many Troubles Besides uncouth adamant and gumbo, the difficulties consisted In gofg hours past meal time because we stuck some miles from the hotel where we planned to eat, mosquito raids and arriving home at 2 A. X. Last Sunday the old camel quit cold. The ultimate straw on these once athletic shoulders of mine was a busted radiator. After we left the HogansvUle pike for a stretch of new macadam, we came to Trouble with a capital T. Mac quit cold and in his place was a' rutty, bumpy cow path of a tralL But we kept on. First a tire blew. The spars tire was one of those wormy affairs you keep for sentiment and lack ot good sense. I put It on Next and worst, but by no means last, in trying to miss a hole I didn't. Bang! A broken spring and a radiator leak that could not atop, and from that moment we weraat going anywhere not for a long while, sev eral whiles. In fact. It was then 7 oclock. And Now He's Cured. Balding parties of mosquitos de scended with the sun. By the time I had fixed the radiator leak with a leather washer there was no water In It and when I'd fixed the spring with a hickory sapling and some wire I palled from a nearby fence. It was dark. I left tbe protesting family a couple of times but couldn't find a farmhouse till a young man oame along on horseback and kindly of fered to get a couple ot gallons of water, -prepaid, at J I 60 a gallon. I am as the feller remarked, cured. Henceforth when I wander out of the village to which I pay taxes. I'm going armed with one of those blue. T TNEXPECTED outbursts from Inner U tuoes originate irom sins w omis sion and commission. By em phasising the more glaring ones the B. K. Goodrich Rubber company be lieves It can save the motorist dol lars that would otherwise be wasted. Haste in replacing punctured or blown out tubes is responsible' for a multitude of these sins. The right way to place a tube into a casing is first to partly inflate it. Then it should be applied carefully, the side bearing the stem always being kept in sight. When It Is In the casing It should be talced careiuuy ana us fingers forced all around the tire to make sure the talc has been evenly distributed. A tube never should be inserted unless being partially in In pumping a tuba before Insertion most motorists allow it to rest on the ground or on the floor of garage. This practice is wrong. It allows the tube to pick up partlcals of sand, cinders and oil which create friction and eventually tiny notes. Th ripht wav is to nlace the tube over the left shoulder and pump with tne rignt nana, 'xnus no poruoa ti the tube will be allowed to touch the road or pavement. When tube Is well rounded with air and tree from wrinkles it Is ready for Insertion In the casing, and then should be pumped to the prescribed pressure.
