water running over the road. Woe
to the motorists who hit such
place unprepared! And chains on
all four wheels are the, only safe
guard for much ice driving. When
you get on the ice, keep the rear
wheels driving. Get into low gear,
oven with chains on, especially If
there is a. side wise slope to. the
road, and keep the rear wheels

Give Chains Chance '
"Whatever your eauinment. nrm,
skid tires or chains,, you muet give
them a chance. The chains are not

and lock the brakes. - Hundreds

slamming the brakes on after they

they came to it."

The auto doctors connected with
the emergency service stations of
the American Automobile associa
tion have made their mid-winter
diagnosis of the troubles en.
countered by the ever-growing
army of winter motorists and the
diagnosis shows that the troubles
are primarily due to the old cause
of "unpreparedness."
Some valuable hints for thos
who would avoid trouble in their
winter driving are given in the
current Issue of tho - American
Motorist, the official publication of
the American Automobile associa
tion. .
