NOTES.
There are only a few things about a car that need routine attention — engine and chassis lubrication, batteries, radiator and tyres. The engine, chassis and radiator should be attended to according to the particular needs of "the car, but batteries should be watered 'at least once every two weeks. “ Women motorists as a whole do not know what to do,” declared a London coroner (Mr. Ingleby Oddie) at an inquest into a case in which the steering gear of a car driven by a young woman failed and the car mounted the pavement and killed a pedestrian. Mr. Oddie added that there were many excellent women drivers, but far more were not good. In a leading article the Daily Mail said that Mr. Oddie’s experience is most unfortunate; The proportion of accidents throughout the country is much the same for men as for women.
