Cubs succeeded In winning to 2, by

POINTERS FOR THE MOTORIST
+ - y

Many of the troubles to which the
premature deterioration Of tires is
traVtablt can be readily corrected if
given attention in time, and as a re-
suit more than little money may be
saved
Small cuts in envelopes. almost i'm
perceptible at first, but which soon
cause a tires complete destruction,
should be repaired promptly.
The average motorist, inclined to
discount the Importance OF giving
small envelope cuts immediate at
tention must pay the penalty Of his
neglect.
There is only one correct way"
says the Michelin Tire man, "to re-
pair the little incisions in the outer
surface of tire that eventually caus-
es SO much trouble and expense. The
depth Of the rut should be first as
certained by inserting the end of a
thin pointed object not too sharp or
the trouble may be aggravated. If
there is nothing better at hand a blunt
penknife will answer.
Should the cut be less than a
quarter of an inch deep there is no
immediate danger but If it is deeper
the outer layer of canvas will have
been damaged. In either case repair
should have been made Immediately.
Very often sonding or probing will
reveal In the cut the presence of small
stones and dirt that has been picked
up. These should be removed imme-
diately.
That small stone should have
lodged in cut may appear to be a
matter of little significance. But when
the wheel Is moving the small stone
VIII begin to work it's way slowly but
surely further and furthar into the
rubber. 1t Will rub the canvas, pierce
1t and finally work its way right
through the whole thickness of the
envelope.
TO guard absolutely against tire
destruction from this cause, the en-
Velopes should be critically examined
on the return from every trip. Every
cut found must be probed and every
particle of foreign matter removed.
Motorists who give thought to tire
efficiency and tire economy Will find
the"Book of Bibendum", from which
the above facts are taken, of more
than usual interest. 1t is published
by the Michelin Tire Company of Mill
town, New Jersey, and mailed free up
on request
