POINTERS FOR THE MOTORIsT.
How the Driver Affects the Wear of
Tires.


The importance of careful driving
cannot be overestimated If the life of
the car and its tires are considered.
The effect of sudden and sharp use
of the brake day after day is bound to
damage the tread Of the envelope and
strain the beads and side walls. The
layers of canvas are oyer-taxed and
little by little the threads stretch until
they reach the breaking point. Brakes
should always be applied gently and
unless it is absolutely necessary to
pull up your car within a short dis
tance, let the stop be as gradual as
possible.
Another important point in driving
is the proper manipulation Of your
clutch. Never make a violent start
slip in the clutch quietly and easily
in this way protecting the mechanism
of your entire car
Sharp corners should always be
made carefully and you can regulate
your speed to round the turn with
little or no use of brakes. AS a last
word. always remember that your
tires are rubber and canvas and not
steel, so to get the maximum service
from them drive thoughtfully.
Many useful suggestions on the care
of tires and tubes are found in the
instruction books published by the
Michelin Tire Company. Milltown, N.
J. Copies will be sent free on re-
quest.
