Cut on Curbstones.

Many drivers, again, come up too
close to- the curbstones, and in doing
so the friction on the sides Of the
cover causes it to wear out, so that
sooner or later the canvas layers are
exposed. Another hint offered to auto
mobilists by tiremakers is not to put
an excessive load on the tires. Every
tire is manufactured to carry certain
weight, which should never be ex-
ceeded. Yet this fact is seldom taken
into consideration, and frequently SO
per cent more weight than they are
intended to carry is put on.
Automobiles are also advised by
the tiremakers to avoid running III
the streetcar tracks, as the habit in
variably wears the tread Of the tire
The turning of corners at a. high rate
of speed is another bad thing for tires
