NEW CAR'S BOUNCE.
A REMEDY. It sometimes happens that cars especially small light cars —are very lively on their springs, when first delivered. This makes them seem very skittish cfn rough roads at anything over a moderate speed, and they become somewhat hard to hold upon a straight course. This naturally applies with greater force when the car is only lightly loaded and not carrying its full complement of passengers. The fitting of suitable shock absorbers will do much to remedy this. A good shock absorber will bring about a complete cure for skittishness, and make a car that was previously inclined to dance from side to side, hold the road perfectly. They also improve the comfort of the car very considerably over pot-holey roads, and roads which have had waves made on their surfaces by heavy, fast traffic. These will cause a car to bounce about in a most unpleasant manner if it is not very well sprung. The rear passengers may be lifted off their seats and have their 'hats disarranged by coming into contact with the hood; but fortunately, ife does hot very much matter to ladies* hats of the present day.
