Don’t BE a STICK-IN-THE-MUD UR FOREFATHERS who lived in rural O communities had occasion to dread the early spring months more than the winter—at least so far as transportation problems were concerned. The old-fashioned bobsled with its wide runners could track its way through deep snowdrifts or travel over uneven fields and thus make its own highway when the roads were impassable. The spring thaw, however, invariably turned the country roads to vast seas of mud and water which were well-nigh impassable even for horse-drawn vehicles. However, our forefathers learned the art of pulling themselves out of the mud which many of us to-day, with our high-powered auto- mobiles, would do well to acquire. But there is danger that we are being spoiled by the predominance of hard-surfaced roads and that the automobilist of the future will scarcely know how to pull his vehicle out of the chance mudhole any better than would our great-grandfathers have known how to regulate the speed of a motor car by means of the throttle, clutch and transmission. In spite of the prevalence of hard-sur- faced roads, their very increase in num- bers and intensity of use are, to a certain extent, beginning to duplicate the trans- portation conditions with which our fore- fathers were confronted. The construc- tion or repair of good roads presupposes detours—and detours are as often as not through fields and over old country roads which, through disuse, have become worse than the rural highway of fifty 26 Sunday service. years ago. Only a moderate “spring thaw” or heavy summer rainstorm. is needed to turn these detours or stretches of road under repair into morasses which may stall many a carelessly-handled auto- mobile or truck. Then too, so-called hard-surfaced roads are too often hard- surfaced for an inadequate width, and to overtake a slow-moving motor truck or a stalled vehicle sometimes requires that one or both pairs of wheels of the passing car be run into the soft ditch or earth “shoulder” at the side of the road. It fre- quently happens that such an earth em- bankment may prove exceedingly decep- tive as to the nature of its foundation underneath, and what may appear to be comparatively firm soil is nothing but a quagmire into which heavily loaded tires will sink to a depth of a foot or so. The one thing to remember when try- ing to move a mired car is that if one or both wheels spin fruitlessly for the first five or ten seconds, continued application of the power is not going to help move it. In fa your car will literally be digging its own grave, for as the wheels spin the projections on the tires and the spokes of the wheel create an excellent’ trench- digging action. When this happens, get out your jack and try to raise the wheel out to its proper level, filling the hole which is uncovered thereby with stones, logs or hard gravel. You will find that it is quite a problem to provide a space on which your jack can rest and which will furnish sufficient clearance to enable it to raise the axle, for the latter may be well-nigh resting on the ground. In this case, if your jack is not provided with a movable “foot” which can be set well down toward its base, you may need to insert the head under a por- tion of the spring, or even the hub of a wheel. Then you may block the axle or the wheel up gradually and by changing the position of the jack as each portion of the rear end becomes available as a lifting comicbooks.com surf offe O con axle will enti seq trac tion ast hav loch are cas gro the equ con car tor will In inc but ash liq Ch gre car wh effe the onl eve ch for the ma chi wil for pl or ge cl of ci ad an ot of st to w m he fo t an
