Time If we grow old in thought and
Spirit. That is our own fault.
Age is, lor tne most part, a state
of mind. With the approach of mld

to "settle down." They fear to do any

fled and so- they give up everything in
the nature of exercise or sports. They
take a back seat and watch the world
go by. They lose their interest in
other people. They become careless of
personal appearance. They coddle
themselves if the weather is incle
ment or take, to their beds with
every twinge of pain or digestive dis
turbance. They refuse to accept any
""hew or radical idea, believing that
"the old way is best." They often give
up some lifelong ambition, saying, "It's
too late now?I'm getting old." Then
they begin to indulge in self pity.
And those are the things that make
people grow old before their time.
Those things also bring ori many of
the ailments associated with age. "The

How To Save Gasoline
. Detroit. Sept. 26? Millions of dol
lars could be saved annually by thr
automobile-owning public through a
more strict observance of the factors
that control the gasoline mileage of
fered by the average .automobile. It
was revealed In a Survey of fuel econo
my completed today by the Chevro
let Motor Company.
A gain of from two to five miles on
the gallon of gas qpuld be effected, on
the average. It was~shown. If the
motorist paid strict attention to the
elements that govern fuel consump
tion.
The matter of economy has always
been a factor of the uppermost Im
portance with Chevrolet In the de
signing of its cars. Having brought
the mileage to the highest point ever
offered In a six cylinder car, Chevro
let sought to corral In this survey,
the maiiy seemingly unimportant de
tails. which through carelessness or
indifference on the part of the driver,
cut down the mileage that might be
obtained through more intelligent
handling of the car.

of the country are getting 23 . 24 and
25 miles through Just a little added
attention to the matter.
Tke majority of items to be watch
ed are rather obvious to the average
automobile owner, but through an in
adequate appreciation of tlfeir impor
tance. are commoply overlooked.
-The survey sets down specifically a
number of factors, which, if observed,
should Increase your mileage two to
?five miles to the gallon. They are:
1. When standing or waiting for
the light to change, don't race your
motor.
2. When you are to make a stop
of more than a minute, turn off your
motor.
S. Don't drive at excessive speeds
unless the occasion demands. High
spfeed travelling burns more gas.
4. Remember that the faster you
drive the more gas you consume. So
when you find that you are about out
of gas and are heading for a gas sta
tion. take it slowly and your -chances
for negotiating this distance' will be
greater.
5. When starting watch the choke.
Don't drive with the choke out a mom
ent-more than necessary. - ------
6. Be sure that yourjbrakes are not
dragging. This cuts down your mile
age. Get your brakes inspected fre
quently. T
7. Ha.ve your valves ground when
they need it.
8. See that the idling adjustment
on your carburetor is set at the
proper- point so that the mixture is
not too rich. If it is not at the
proper point it gives you inefficient
idling performance and wastes gas.

that fittings are tight.
12. Be sure th?t ?p?Tk is in fully

13. Avoid excessive use of brakes

Observanoe of these suggestions, the
survey points out, will save money for
the motorist and add considerable
mileage to your driving and reduce
the number of necessary stops at the
