Suddenly applying the brakes when ths
car is travelling AT high speed j. the
cause OF a great many bad accidents The
man who abruptly throws on his brakes
at a speed Of even thirty miles an hour
is running a considerable risk, especially
II the road is slippery. Even II they ar"
applied gradually, the driver should ee
exceedingly careful. But IN the hrst
place. a driver should never travel at
high speed on any road where II Is likely
that sudden application Of the brakes
Will be REQ Ired.
These days OF blind touring are now
past. the art of route making and route
describing has been developed as never
before. and today the tourist can travel
from ocean to ocean without stopping 10
consult with natives OF any community as
Ia what course to follow The driver re-
ceives his route instructions from the oc-
cupant of the other half OF the front seat,
who in turn gets them from the oper
tour book In his lap. This leather-hound
volume in fact contains more valuable
road information between its two covers
than could be NOuchSafed by Whole
army Of village oraceS or oldest settlers.
In putting a tube I'm q shoe the hrst
thing 10 do i 10 get the tube perfectly
flat. This necessitates the complete re-
moval OF any air which may be in il. Re
move the valve cap; then unscrew tha
valve and its spring and take them oht.
Next turn the valve stem down and roll
the tube UP. starting Al the point diamet-
rically opposite 10 this stem. This viii
force the air from all parts of the tube
toward the valve and finally all OF IL viii
be forced out when the tube Is complete
ly rolled to the stem. Hold the tube IN
this position and replace the valve and
the valve cape The tube VIII then re-
main quite fiat, since no air can re-
enter.
The tool boxes. that for many sea-
sons have hurdened the running boards.
are being removed I'm many OF the new
models. The tools are being carried in
cases under the front seat taking the
place of the gasoline tank, which Is bene
positoned under the back of the chassis
frame With several makers the battery
box also a running board decoration. has
been removed. and for next season VIII
be snugly supported IN a bracket under
the main frame parts. where II Is en-
tirely hidden from view and much better
protected than when outside. With those
concerns still using acetylene for light
ing the gas tank is being concealed. and
with the many concerns adopting cleo
tricity the necessary battery Is hidden
under the framework.
After car has been driven a few
thousand miles il has had time 10 timber
up. and whatever fits may have been on
the tight side will have had time to free
themselves or seize. Brake connections
in particular should be carefully gone
over and the road wheel bearings may
need a 1-32-inch SHIN TO take up sids
play which may have been overlooked
i'm the factory. Cars should be copiousy
oiled In every moving. part after delivery.
for a month or SO. in order to polish
parts that may have been left somewhat
rough. An inadvertent gouee of the tool
in turning may render a shaft tight in
it's bearings but with judicious lubrifs-
ton the high spots can be, so to sp'd <.
worn off. Without the aid of OIL plenty
of trouble may come.
