POINTERS FOR THE moToRlsT
Facts About the Care Of Rims.

Just now at the beginning OF the
season, when motorists are again
taking their cars out on the road.
many automobiles are being examined
with critical eye TO detect any trouble
that may have been brought on by the
long winters rest.
One fthe things which should be
looked into is the condition Of the
rims. 1t may seem like a small thing,
yet rust which is likely to collect on
rims during the months OF idleness is
a real danger.
Rust can always be detected by the
appearance OF the beads OF the en-.
velope. When the beads show strong
ly marked yellowiSh stain it is eyi.
dent that the tire has not been prop
erly cared for. This stain is nothing
else than rust, which forms on the
rims and is deposited Oh the beads Of
the tire. II il is allowed to remain
it will destroy the tire, for it win
slowly but surely eat away the fab
ric. Moreover, the edges Of rusted
rims will become more uneven every
day.
Further. when a rim is Tusted it is
impossible 70 maintain the close and
regular contact which should exist be.
tween rim and bead. Water will soon
find its way into the tire 10 work its
usual harm.
After having been out in bad wealth
or, if the motoTist is careful 10 sponge
tires and rims clean and then wipe
them dry, especially along the beads.
ne will do much to prevent the forma-
ton of rust 1t is possible, however,
that in spite Of the exercise of reason
able care the rims may suffer a little
damage, especially during the winter
In any case It is advisable TO examine
the rims closely from time to time,
Many suggestions on the proper
care Of tires, tubes and rims are in.
