Shifting Into second gear when
starting down hill, as a means of
sarin g the brakes, has never beea
an easy task for most drivers.
Many of tbem know, that It is nec
essary to press out the clutch, pass
the gear lever to neutral, engage
the clutch again, speed up the
engine, then press . u. t Jht clu tqh
and. shift through, to second gear
In the usual way.. Their failure to
accomplish the stunt usually is fhe
result of not actually speeding up
the engine, though they may step
on the accelerator. - ' .
It requires a few seconds for
any engine to get up speed, espe
cially it the mixture la lean. In
stead of holding the accelerator
down for this brief period the dri
ver Is so eager to shift he gives
the pedal a touch and lets It go at
that. Naturally the gears clash
and ha finds he has to try all over
again. -, ' ' : V-'"'

Its primary febject. Its secondary
goal was reduction of the huge an

in automobile fatalities from 1920

from Ohio, to Nebraska, omitting
