Car Start Hard? Read This
During the cold weather last Wed
nesday (and later in the week as
well) many car owners had diffi
culty starting their cars. One of
them was John Wood. In order to
facilitate starting the stubborn piece
of machinery, John pushed the car
over the furnace register at his gar
age and then attempted to start it.
When the carburetor was choked,
overflow gas ran down onto the hot
furnace below and immediately the
fire flickered up and the under por
tion of the car was ablaze. For a
few moments there was plenty of ex
citement, zut the blaze was extin
guished before any great damage was
done. This was lucky, for the garage
building as well as one adjoining it
in which Bert Harden and family re
side, are of frame construction and
would have been destroyed had the
flames spread.
If your car doesn't start these
cold mornings, better try some other
method than this.

other states, including one stating:
"We are of the opinion that the ele
ment of chance in the operation of
the machine far outlies that of skill.
The test of the character of the
game is not whether it contains an
element of chance or an element of
skill, but it is the discriminating
element that determines the result
cf the game."
