"Let me help you!" cried the polite lorry driver, as he pulled up .beside the stranded flapper motorist "I can't get the engine to start. A man who stopped told me it was only the mixture was to strong, and he could not wait." Ten minute's of futile cranking left the helper exhausted and leaning on the wing, looking dejectedly at the engine and wishing he had not waited either . "I suppose the mixture can't be too strong now, can it?" asked the sweet young thing. "I got some water from that : cottage and poured it is there" (pointing to the carburettor)! "where tie petrol goes. Shall I get you some - more?"—The ' Commercial Motor'.'
