Care of Spare Tubes and Covers.
Many motorists cause themselves
unnecessary expense by the spelling
of spare inner tubes and outer covers
as a result of neglect in caring for
them until they are ready to be used.
The only safe way to carry spare in
ner tubes is to roll each one up sepa-
rately, taking care to see that the
valve stem is left on the outside OF
the roll and then put them each into
! separate bag well provided with
French chalk Each bag should then
be so stored away that it will not rub
against the other or against any tools
otherwise the tubes will be chafed and
damaged if they do. Many users are
careless enough to carry inner tubes
in their tool boxes where they are
chafed by the oil.
After tube has been carried few
weeks it is well to take it out of the
bag and refold it, as it is likely to
fall in, holes at the creases If allowed
to remain too long in the same posi-
ton. AS regards spare outer covers,
these should never be carried on the
car unless protected by dust and
waterproof covering. To allow rain
and dirt to get at them means that
the fabric will sbe rotted before it is
used. If the tires are stored away
in the garage or at home they should
be suitably wrapped to keep the damp
and dust from them, and should be
stored not only in dark room but in
one that Is dry and has an even tenn
perature of from go to 70 degrees.
5000 Miles by Auto.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan Grass of Jack
sonville, Fla, with two children, one
an infant of four months and the 9TH

sorts in Massachusetts, and Maine be-
fore the tourists started for Saratoga.
The Grasses have professional chauf-
feur who drives and keeps in repair
their touring car, but they carry no
other attendants with them. They
have travelled leisurely, stopping as
often and as long as they pleased ON
the road, and have had no real delays
or inconvenience. Their tour is 10
continue indefinitely, as they only
stopped in Saratoga long enough to
visit friends.
