Miss Izetta Jewel An
Experienced Motorist

There are no more enthusiastic women
motorists In Washington than Miss
Izetta Jewel and Miss Helen May. Of
the Poll Players. They constantly use
their Studebaker go touring car in
trips In and around Washington. and
are now planning trips to Gettysburg,
Harpers Ferry, and other interesting
points within easy riding distance OF
this city. Miss Jewel Is said to have
been one of the first women on the Pa
cific coast to drive an automobile. She
was the first woman driver to attempt
the mountain trip from Portland, Ore,
to Seattle, Wash. On this trip she was
accompanied by her mother and Miss
May, and the dangerous condition of the
mountain roads made driving extremely
hazardous. At one point where the car
was ascending steep hill, the engine
OF the car choked. The brakes would
not hold, and the car began to slip down
the hill. With rare skill Miss Jewel
guided 1t backwards down the hill and
across a narrow bridge, bringing the
machine to a stop near the edge Of a
high embankment. After repairing the
brakes the car was again sent forward
and successfully negotiated the steep
hill. The party also toured Victoria and
Vancouver Island before returning to
with Miss May at the wheel throughout
the long journey.
Washington is a delightful motoring
place" said Miss Jewel. THE wide,
well paved streets. fine parkway drives
and the good country roads adjacent to
the city make owning an automobile a
real pleasure"

Hints on Preserving
And Fitting Inner Tubes

when hitting an inner tube 1t is a
good plan to dust a small quantity OF
tale or French chalk inside the envei-
ope," says a tire expert. "Just suffici-
ent to cover the interior surface is all
that is required. Too much tale grad.
ually accommodating into solid Jumps is
q frequent cause OF punctures.r On the
other hand, insufficient tale will not
prevent the inner tube from sticking to
the envelope.
Timer tubes should always be per-
fectly clean and dry when f1tting. Even
the slightest moisture should be avoided.
ID Is q common practice to lay a tube
on the step of the car, or even on the
ground, previous to fitting. This is a
very expensive habit. There Is always
place to hang the tube where 1t will
be free from moisture or dust. Hang
Ii over q side lamp or tireholder, but
never lay II down where II will come in
contact with foreign and Injurious mat
ter.
elmer tubes should always be carried
in waterproof bags, such as can be
bought at any garage for a quarter.
They should never he Kept in the orig
inal cardboard boxes. These boxes are
sufficient for the garage, but not for
storing tubes kept in q car. Waterproof
bags keep the tubes away from water.
oil, and grease. but are not intended
10 protect the tubes from sharp tools.
Always keep spare tubes in bags and
keep the bags away from metal OBJ

DANGEROUS TO0P[N
MOUTH WHEN GOING
At HEAVY SPEED
Bamesburger Became In
Aated When He Tried to
Talk While Racing.

when you're in a racing car at speed
keep your mouth tight shut" This r.
the advice given by Fighting Bob
Evans, of the Studebaker team, whose
successes this year have stamped him
as the brightest star of the light-car pi-
lots: And II is advice which will be in
dorsed by every experienced race driver
Keep your mouth shut" continues
Evans, because you will want to
breathe now and then.
Opening the mouth makes inhaIing
easy, II IL true. But the extreme speed
of motor car will keep you inhaling
for long time after you want to stop,
IL you try to do IL through the mouth.
The pressure viii cram your lungs,
mouth and afr passages SO full of air
that you will choke and strangle
1--WE had a Studebaker-F Flanders out
one morning this spring on the Santa
Monica course for practice. The wind
was blowing fifty-miles an hour, ac-
cording to the weather reports. On one
straightaway we faced IL squarely. The
gale pulled us down to speed of seven
ty-five miles an hour, where on calm
days. we had been doing eighty-five
miles. But seventy-five added to fifty
the speed Of the gale-gave us head
wind Of 125 miles an hour. Some wind,
Why the roar In my ears made them
ring for days afterward. The pressure
on my shoulders was greater than two
men could have exerted. My cheeks
pushed back on both sides 30 that my
lips hurt.
''Charely Bamesburger, my mechanic,
leaned over toward me and started to
say something. The next moment he
doubled up ana nearly fell out. I thought
he was sick and stopped the car as
soon as 1 could. When he got through
choking and coughing, he said he had
been through all the torture of drown
ing.
He'd started to make some remark
about the weather, guess, and the
pressure of the wind had simply in
fated him almost to the bursting point
He tried to gasp IL out and got more
air jarnmed down his throat. He was
frank to admit that saved his life by
stopping when I did.
"Of course. that was worse than one
usually gets. All the same you will
notice that the only time in a big road
race when the driver and mechanic of
car do any talking, is on the turns,
when the car is slowed down. At any
thing more than seventy-miles an hour
man takes chances when he opens his
mouth. Above ninety miles an hour, the
result Is sure to be serious"
