March 15. 1929 National Forests Becoinlng Popular to the Motorists National forest3 of the United States, located in various parts of the country, are becoming increasingly popular as touring grounds for p10torists, and each succeeding year sees a greater number of motor vehicles passing through these beautiful preserves. · This is pointed out by the Chicago Motor Club, which also states that with ~his increase in motor touring in the national-forests there is to be noted a corresponding increa'3e in the total of improved roads located within them.

Save !he Car and Save Money · Are you one of those persons who does not care enough about his automobile to take proper care of it? Do you let everything in the way of preparation go until the last minute and then expect your garage or service man . to instantly wait on you to the neglect of everybody else ? Or worse still, are you on~ of those car owners who lets his car stand in the hack yard, or in front of the house or apartment all night, and then expect it to start blithely off the next morning, regardless of the temperature during the night? There are · lots of both kinds of people in this world. The Motorists Association of Illinois has had literally hundreds of calls from car owners who have left their cars out in the cold all night, and found next morning, apparently to their great surprise, that their car wouldn't start. Some have ,found a gn~at deal more than that. Some have found cracked water jackets, radiators frozen and burst, cracked motor blocks, water pumps wrecked and other mechanical misfortunes. "A man has a certain . investment in an automobile," declared Hugo Meyer, secretary and manager of the Motorists Association of Illinois, "and he ought to take care of it, whether it is large or small. Out of respect to his pocket book, he ought not to neglect his car. "My advice is to keep the car protected against weather, both day and night, and to keep it in good mechanical shape. Then the owner will save time, worry, loss of use, repair bills anJ other item s. Save vour car and you save your money~" TIGHTEN THE BOLTS Did you ever stop to think that some of the nuts, bolts, lock-washers, rivets and sundry other parts .o f an automobile scattered on the highways might have come from your car? It is important that you know the condition of the under side of your car-vibration, road stresses and strains will play havoc unless frequently attended to. Just try a wrench on those nuts and bolts. Pull them up ·as tight as they will go.
