motor cars from Shanghai to Hankow. A few days ago one car was sent up from Shanghai. The owner had neglected to. empty the petrol tank and to shut of the petrol. He also left the gear in reverse. Consequently, when the coolics at Hankow como to move the car from the deck of the vessel they found themselves confronted with un- expected difficulties. They swarm- ed over the oar in their efforts to see what was wrong, and one Ibright youth, evidently. of a mechanical bout, gave: the self- starter a vigorous push with his foot. The car immediately moved; in fact it moved so strongly and so quickly that before anyone realized what was happening it had made its way across the deck and over the side into the turbid waters of the Yangtze, And the name of the vehicle that is able to do all of this of its own accord ? Wild horses would not drag it from us!

1200/0 EFFICIENCY!

A story is going the rounds to the effect, that a certain car owner installed a new-fangled carburetor that was guaranteed" to save 20 per cent in gas. Then he put in special spark plugs that were guaranteed to save 20 per cont. of the same precious fluid, and an intake superheater that was guaranteed to save another 20 per cont. He next put in a patented rear-axle that was also guaranteed to save 20 por cont.. and ro-tyred with a new brand of tyres that promised a 20 percent. saving in gas consumption. Finally, ho drained his crank. case and refilled it with a now oil guaranteed to increase his mileage 20 per cent. Now, with fuel economy of 120 per cont., the owner has to stop overy hundred miles and bail out the gas tank to keep it from running
