THE TIMES RECORD, TROY, N. the With governments into debt and FO many people, in arrears it's no wonder some rnginnois believe the engine nucht to be behind. Al'llOl'OS OF AUTOMATICS. nidinp with a friend in a new- car with nn automatic transmission brought to light the fact that he was getting more gas mileage than the dealer said he could pect. Watching him handle job it was apparent that his sue cess is due to skill in handling th car so as to prevent unnecessary use of power.

The trick is to avo" downshlftF. II isn't just a malti of reading the road nnd a i co ditions so as to avoid slowdowi and stops, but fomelhing that tails a keener sense of motor speeds Jn relation to that of the car itself. One thing that wastes gas with of the automatic gear devices too rapid acceleration. A.S with manual shifting this simply the engine to provide more powi than is needed. There In quite lot to be gained.from these dcvlci by keeping above certain speeds, i that the engine is having the ben fit of the highest gearing or torq- conversion, depending upon system used.

Gas is often wast by lotting the car drag. As with conventional shift it is economica to keep the car at its easiest rolling speed. NOTE WHEEL BEARINGS In the latest instructions fo: lubricating one of the cars, nolice that the quantity special grease for the front whee bearings has been cut from to two ounces. This is the result o' someone recalling that if you wan to be sure the average person won' overdo it, the best rule is to under state the quantity of grease to used. This simple change wil probably spare a lot of owners th( usual bother of having an of hearing lube work into the Iron! brakes.

On modern cars this whole system is free to rriove a bit in step with the motoi but there are flexible mountings t' prevent actual shake.

may seem like a detail but you may save yourself trouble and iXpense by remembering to use Lhe wheel covers with their original -wheels when having; the tires rotated. This will be insurance against having a come loose or start a squeak, which are like- lihoods wheie covers are switched to new positions. On the other hand, if the covers have been giving trouble a switch might he in order. But do this only if things are not well with the covers. THIS SAVES TWO WAYS.

New York State archeologist since 1925, the man vho constructed a full scale reproduction of the Cohoes mastodon 'or the state museum, will retire Wednesday from slate service. Another major pxhlbit built by Mr. larke was a full scale model of the Sterlingbush calcite crystal ed or in unlocked garage for It is also correct to say not "choke." Oddly any length of time.

It takes a bit of cranking for even a professional car thief to discover the missing part and in this puiiod he may become a bit at the delay or he may discover that the starting motor is waking the neighborhood. Disconnecting the high tension wire at the coil or distributor also will discourage a thief but you're safe taking out a rotor -which he may nol be able to duplicate at a moment's notice. This a i iprecaulion also is a good way to save delays in starting the motor yourself, because it keeps the distributor cap clean. Moisture doesn't deposit so easily on clean ignition parts. GETTING THEM STRAIGHT Just to keep the record straight betler say "starting motor" rather than ''starter-motor," you are referring to this hard working unit of the car.

"choker," enough, it is correct to call the power plant the "engine" "motor 1 in of the fact thai the i latter is usually reserved for electrical power devices. Old timers call the piston pint; "wrist pins." The accelerator the "exhiieralor" even though, is has that effect. "Park ing" brake is preferable to "hand 1 or brake. WATCH JT WHEN TURNING Another pointer that bears repeating the risk in making a speedy left hand when cars mre approaching. You ma be able to miss being hit by one ol the cars but what about the slow- moving pedestrian who may be in process of crossing the street into which you are turning? You maj be turning directly into path Ho has the right of way, and you are then putting- yourself in a bad spot.

This traps many an unwary driver. It's risk that applies onlv to left turns. GIVE THEM WIDE BERTH Believe it or not, one of the most dangerous situations in driving to follow someone who is either learning to dilvc or who is still green at the game. The trouble is that with your experience and, the many automatic reactions you have built up in your it isn't easy lo understand the mind of the novice.

Some of the bones missing; but there wure enough to enable scientists lo reconstruct a complete skeleton.

Years later Mr. Clarke built a full scale reproduction of the animal and this reproduction containing a life-like hairy coat stands in museum alongside the skeleton of the orlci- na.1 animal. Mr. Clarke joined Ihe staff of the state museum in 1912 as technical assistant and in that capacity participated in thp. transfer of the col lections and the installation of exhibits when the Museum was moved to the Slate Education Building.

According to Associated Press reports, thing! had been bad in Portland and they started for this area in a 1937 au- lomobile.

Their misfortunes reached the when they arrived at Adair, 17 miles west of Stuart, Friday- night. The gasoline was getting and Mr. O'Leary was down to his last twelve cents, which he used to purchase a half-gallon of gas. Heading for Stuart, which proved Lo be a haven of kindness, the couple were looking for a break somewhere along the line. Jn the lack scat of the car was Karen, lying in a box.

Child Fate struck its cruelist blow some i those 17 miles, for while stopping at filling station in Stuart to ask if Red Cross or some other agency would give them aid, O'Leary discovered the child dead. The heart broltcn told Coroner H. If. Hill that the infanl pparently had been healthly a few minutes before. Hill said that death was a a due lo a disorder.
