Ia the experiment a child waa no used. but bags of Band weighing 20 to 300 pounds served th same purpose. The net Is fixed In a leather car in front of the car. When folded It will not detract from tha beauty of the raciest auto. It can be thrown In aa Instant, so that It will spread In front of the auto. A lever near th emergency brak operates the net. This net Is made of linen of a coarse, strong fiber and will sustain a weight of Ms to TIE) pounds.

"We have organised a company," aald Mr. Black, who I employed In the city engineering department, "and with a few thousand dollar we will start la a email way. We have secured a patent In the United State and foreign coun tries. Automobile manufacturer and those who have examined the fender think It will work a revolution. "Of course.

But this does not mean (hat the rnodernauto mobil may he handled carelessly, for, although a well-mads ear will withstand a remarkabl amount of abuse.

Tut toe mar- not be trnme dtatei but It Is bound te mak Ita appear ance sooner or latet . Strang aa It may seem, th so-called "expert" often abuses his car mors thsn doe the novtr. Thl Is because the for. mar "knows" his ear perfectly and under stands exactly what It can "do" and con sequently h makea It do It utmost all of th time. If, through experience, the expert know that hs I Just sbls to mak his car climb a certain hill "on the high," he will never shift to a lower 'gear oa that same hill It he can help It. It hs has discovered that, through careful manipulation of the clutch, he can start hla ear from the net oa th third or fourth speeds, he will take pride In prov ing t himself and other that he never need to "use the 'row." Th novice, oa the other hand, will be doubtful of his ability to chang to' a lower gear when In tb mlddl of a steep sacent, and conse quently will begin lbs climb on the first or second, speeds. He will he fearful of stalling his motor If he stsrts th car from rest on any gear but the low speed, and consequently ha waits until the ma chine is well under way before he shift to a higher gear. Thus, through'hts own Inexperience and Ignorance of the ability of his car, the novice may relieve the motor, transmission and clutch of strain that his "expert" friend would think they were In duty bound to bear. Wkra the Bille Come la. The motor, clutch, and transmissSns will bear these strains to an astonish ing degree, but at th end of the sea son, when "general overhauling" time arrive, the bill for repairs, adjustments, and replacements on (he "expert s'' car mill be convincingly higher thaa will that for the necessary work on the machine of the conservative driver. The ordinary owner will take a certain amount of pardonable- pride la being able to point to a steep hill and say, "My car can do that on 'high' "; hut would It not bo better for- him to look to the future and tak pride In th re liability and long cervlce of his machine, rather thaa to boast of tha performance of the moment? t?o long as a motor gives no indication of 'being subjected to a severe overload. It la unnecessary to shift to a lower gear, but th moment th normal revolutions are reduced and the engine begins to "pound" and "knock," It Is certain that severe strains are being Induced In tha connecting rods and crank ahaft and their bearings. By "Jockeying" the clutch and "nursing" the motor, the car may sometimes be made to finish the climb without chang ing apeod, but continued driving of this character will surely result In loosened and worn bearings and aa Inefficient engine. It must be remembered thai. In order to develop ita greatest power, the ordinary automobile motor must be allowed to revolve at a speed not lei than Ms) or 1.0M revolution per minute, that no load should be applied which Is so heavy that this speed Is reduced. When the motor revolve at high speed, th point of Ignition, or th "spark"' may be advanced beyond the "dead center." and the power developed by the engine will thereby be Increased. This advanced spark cannot b main tained, however, when the speed of the mottr Is reduced, and consequently as soon as the engine begin to "labor" on a ateep hill, the spark should he set back and th transmission shifted to a lower need. But It I not always an easy matter tor th Inexperienced drive to change te a lower gear In the middle of steep hill, and if 'th shift Is not made almost instantly, the car will loss Its momentum and may b forced to stsrt oa It sacent from a position of rest or, possibly, from .backward travel.
