INSULATED WIRE-ONE OF DE-
TROIT'S IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES

Insulated wire is an article which
has been much in demand OF late
years, principally becaus OF the ten
dency towards the use OF electricity
for the lighting of dwellings and office
buildings. Few homes are built In
Detroit nowadays without being wired
for electric lighting, with the result
that Detroit insulated wire works are
kept busy. The wire used for such
work Is insulated with rubber, and
the insulation is regarded as an abso-
lutte safeguard against danger from
shock. Detroiters are given unusual
" good protection in this regard, for
the reason that all wiring Is carefully
inspected by a representative of the
public lighting commission before be-
ing approved for use.
IL Is q mistake, however, for one to
harbor the idea that street wires are
safe because they are insulated. These
wires carry heavy voltage and the In
sulation, which consists or three
braids of cotton. saturated with a COM
position of pitch and other substances,
Is not regarded by electricians "a w.
solute protection. AS matter OF fact,
no trained electrician will work about
charged wires without first separating
himself and the wires by means OF a
rubber sheet and seeing to II that his
feet are resting on dry wood Rubber
is no longer used for insulating street
wires because Of the advance In price
of the commodity Rubber tape which
used to cost 81 pound, now costs 30.
Relative to the dangers surrounding
electric wires, Frank r. Mistersky,
general superintendent OF the public
lighting commission, gives some
Wholesale advice.
The Times can do the public a
good service by pointing out the dan
ger connected with electric wires,
said Mr.. Mistersky. First OF all, tell
the public not 20 NEEDLE with a loose
wire, which may be considered dead.

HOW TO AVOID TIRE TROUBLE.
Here Are a Few Hints, Based o.
Long Experience.

Long Experience.
The following rules have been for
mulated from many years experience
In the manufacture and repair OF COM
mercial motor vehicle tires. The worst
foes OF tire economy are the overload
ing and overspeeding of vehicles.
These instructions should prove help
full TO vehicle drivers who have the
interests OF their vehicle at heart.
Do not overload or overspeed your
vehicle. as this will be harmful to
both the mechanism and the tires. A
good rubber tire has a certain amount
OF life" and persistent overwork
greatly reduces its length OF service.
Brakes should be kept working
equally, and the axles and wheels
'trued up" This reduces the rack
and wear on the vehicle and prevents
On abnormal stress on any one OF its
tires.
OIL or grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on rubber tires because
this eventually causes them to disin-
tegrate.
Rubber tires should not De exposed

the wear-resisting properties OF the
rubber.
Start the vehicle before turning the
steering wheel The act of turning
the front wheels when the car Is
standing still, places a heavy stress
upon the tires.
Vehicles should be started and
stopped gradually and jerky motions
avoided as much as possible.
Vehicles should not be habitually
run along street car rails as that
grinds off the edges OF the tires.
Wherever possible choose a smooth
pathway, avoiding obstacles and road
Irregularities and cross car tracks pre-
ferably at an angle. This Is especial
ly important when the vehicle is car
rying a load.
AS merely resetting or repairing a
tire will In many cases double its life,
prompt attention should be given TO
injuries In order to get the greatest
length Of service from the tires.
To prevent Earring OF batteries and

Before the advent Of the motor car,
machine tools were found principally
in the general machine shops. The

yearly sales are now somewhere in
the neighborhood OF 100000.
In view OF this showing and the
additional fact that Detroit is the

singular that practically no machine
