HINTS TO MOTORISTS.
Keep the tires hard.

Keep the tires hard.
They should contain enough pres
sure to sustain the car without any
flattening. This will require about
sixty pounds OF air in the front and
seventy pounds in the rear tires.
Garry two or three inner tubes,
and keep them well protected from
injury from sharp instruments or
oil. Oil will ruin rubber.
Carefully wipe all oil off the tires,
as 1t will rot them.
If the car is to be left in the
garage for several weeks it should
be lacked up and blocking or horses
placed under front and rear axles
to keep the weight off the tires.
Extra tires should be kept in
cool, dark place.
When putting in a fresh inner
tube, use plenty Of powder on 1t to
prevent it's sticking to the casing
