or used, every motorist feels an
inner glow of satisfaction if his
mileage showing is well above
average for his make and type of
vehicle. J. M. Crawford, chief en
gineer for Chevrolet, has set
forth a series of suggestions de
signed to aid every driver in secur
ing the last inch of mileage from
each gallon of gasoline.
“Obviously, the better your car’s
reputation for economical opera
tion, the better off you are in a
period when gasoline economy
means so much,” Mr. Crawford
says. ‘The valve-in-head engine
in Itself is a guarantee of econo
my blended with power and per
formance, three essentials of a de
Sirable motor car. Chevrolet’s
valve-in-head engine, precision-
built for efficiency, ranks among
the economy leaders.”
Much depends upon the indivi
dual driver, however, when high
way operating efficiency and eco
nomy are considered, it was point
ed out. The same auto may be
driven by two different motorists
with widely varying fuel cost re
sults. In order to strengthen the
human factor in the equation,
these economical driving hints
have been listed.
Drive at moderate speeds—fuel
consumption increases as speed ad
vances, jumping sharply beyond 40
miles per hour. And drive at a
steady pace when cn the highway,
after finding the car’s most econo
mical “cruising” speed. “Spurt

Hickory, because of its great
strength, toughness, and el."stic-
ity. is the world’s foremost wood
for farm tool handles such as the
axe. adz. pick, sledge, hammer,
and .?hovel. Hickory is a tree of
wide range and although there
are quite a number of kinds of
hickory only a few are used eom-
rnprci-lly, says the XT. S. Forest
Products Laboratory, Madison,
Wis.
Usually only a small portion of
a native tree is white wood: this
is made into tool handles, and the
>-o1anpp. the red or heartwootl. in
discarded. Manv neopio think that
red hickory is not as strong or
toi'eh as the white wood, and in
selecting wooden handles, will
hiiy only those without the red
wood. The Forest Products Lah-
oratnry has found in over a half
million tests that weight for
weieht. sound hickory has the
same .-trength. toughness and re
sistance to shock, regardless of
whether it is red. white or a mix
ture of red and white wood, as
the white sainvood turns to red
dish heartwood as the tree grows
older.
To the farmer who is buying
only one handle for a tool, a
fairly reliable guide to its
.-trength would he the proportion
of .solid-looking siimmerwood or
less porous part of each growth
ring appearing on the end of the
piece. The siimmerwood is quite
ea.sy to tell from the springwood
portion of the annual ring, which
is full of pores or- small holes.
Summerwood has much greater
strength than the .apringwood, be
cause it contains more wood sub
stance per unit volume.
Providing the handle or stick
is free from knots or other de
tects at important points and i.s
straight grained, the number of
growth rings per inch on the end
afford anoiher means of grading
hickory. Few growth rings per
inch indicate a .stronger and
tougher stick than one with many
rings. A further guide in choos
ing a good handle, whether il
contains red wood or not, is that
the L( sl hickory show?" an oily or
glossy side-grain surface ■rf'heii
smoothly finished. When dropped
on end on a concrete or other
hard surface, a good piece of
hickory will have a clear, ringing
tone, while a piece of poor qual
ity will produce a dull sound.
