shown by. the pressure gage should be
eighteen times the tires cross section in
inches. For instance a three and one
half-inch tire should always be lnnated
to sixty-three pounds. a four-inch tire to
seventy-two pounds, four and one-half-
inch tire to eighty-one pounds and so
on, regardless OF hot or cold weather.
IF we could get tire users to follow
this rule there would be far less injuries
to lives and a great deal more mileage In
the tire than the average owner gets"

Painting Radiators.
Painting radiators is a peculiar sort Of
work, remembering that whatever color
one puts on the radiator frame and front
will be continually exposed to a very
high degree OF heat. 1t is for this reason
that all makers have practically agreed
that black paint is one of the best and
most durable colors for the radiator. The
proper method Of painting the radiator
Is to apply very thin coat of lampblack
In solution, and after 1t has dried, to
apply another equally thin coat. Lamp
black has sufficient body and color depth
to be effective even after only two appli-
cations, and as it is composed of pure
carbon, is not subject to decomposition
as other colors which are made of cfemi-
cal compounds and secured to the sur
face by means of organic binders. Lamp
black will wear off under continued
strain of service. but 1t will last long.
as even together with the heat it suffers
have no effect on it. 1t is principally the
mechanical hardships that radiator paint
has to undergo in service that ends the
life after relatively short period.
