The comfort of the driver and his passengers on a vacation tour de pends partly on their utilizing the special features built into their car, and partly on their own initiative. The experienced long-distance tourist thinks nothing of a run of four or five hundred miles a day, because he has learned how to rest and relax during the run; whereas, many whose average driving is but a few miles daily in the city, or 100 miles on Sundays, become fatigued on an all-day trip, simply through failure to avail themselves pf the refinements which the manufac turer has provided. Fatigue is the chief cause of dis- HOLLYWOOD THEAIRE McCORMICK, S. C. FRIDAY and SATURDAY JULY 5TH and 6TH, 7:15 p. m. and 9:00 p. m.

We havel ing drlyer walting ln gear at a signal, with the clutch pedal held down; he’ll be in neutral, resting his toot and leg. Similarly, at a halt on a grade, he will hold the car with the hand brake, not with his foot. On long stretches of clear road, or on long climbs re quiring full throttle, the driver may set the hand throttle and rest his accelerator foot by a change of po sition On a steep down grade, he will save his braking muscles by shifting into second gear. Combating hot weather also has its tricks. No-draft ventilating systems offer a wide variety of ef fects, but many drivers fail to reap their full advantages. The rear come to the aid of the driver with improvements that enable the driv er to combat these sources of dis comfort, and the experienced driv er has tricks of his own to bring further relief. The actual muscular effort re quired to drive a car all day is not great; the fatigue of a long drive results more from being forced to remain in a fixed position than from actual expenditure of energy. You would get just as tired, of course, if you remained in an easy chair at home all day. The ex perienced driver will vary his posi tion as frequently and as widely as possible, by moving the easily ad justable front seat back and forth and by shifting his posture on the seat. Muscular effort in driving is windows of a sedan should be open, for instance, even if only the front seat is occupied—because it in- chiefly in the operation of the | duces circulation of air through- pedals. The experienced driver will out the car, from front to rear.

Another point to watch in hot weather is tire pressure. Tires, inflated in the cool of the morning; with cold air from a compressor tank will increase in pressure from the heat of the road and of rui^i- ning, and may become too hard for comfort. On long drives, it is a good prac tice to halt by the roadside at regular intervals—say for five minutes every two hours—for a “stretch.” It helps too to get out of the car for a few minutes at stops for gasoline, or during long waits at railroad crossings. Probably the most trying driving —and the most dangerous—is when you can stay awake only by con scious effort. The thing to do is to stop, and take a ten minute nap. Eye strain has much to do with the fatigue of driving. Use the ad— justable visors of your car when ever possible, and wear tinted glasses to kill the glare of the road..
