usual by the presence of several COM
plicatiOns. The argument as to wheth-
er or not a previous winner Of the

ineligible on that account has been
happily settled in the negative. There
seems no reason why a player should
be debaTred from further participation

DAY OF GUARANTEES
ON TIRES is WANING
High Prices Expected to Lead to
Change in Policy of the
Manufacturers.

In discussing the tire situation.
Harry Lord of the Lord Motor Car
company, the REQ and Garford
agents, states it as his Ouinion that 1t
is only a question Of time when no
automobile tires will be guaranteed by
the local factories.
There has been a condition in the
tire trade for number of years,
says Mr.. Lord, that arose from the
earliest days, when anything pertain
ing to an automobile was looked upon
with suspicion and had to carry some
sort of guarantee, and the various tire
manufacturers, in arder to overcome
this prejudice and to attract favorable
notice, started to guarantee their pro-
duct in one way or another, finally
settling upon a basis of mileage.
When they found that tires did not
always run the limit they were called
upon to spend great sums in making
good to their trade and it was neces-
sary to increase the price of the tire
to such an extent that these replace
ments and adjustments would be Off
set by the original porfit.
Now it has reached the point that,
when a mOtOrist becomes dissatisfied
with the particular tires with which
his car is equipped. he is practically
compelled TO use them CT suffer con-
siderable loss-that is to say, in case
of a blowout within the guaranteed
mileage. ne finds the tire that would
COSI Ai4Ls say 900 ne COulu TepldC%
by new one of the same make for
$50 or SIS, owing to the friendly ad-
justment OF the manufacturer. As a
matter of fact, were tires priced n
a basis of fair profit. without any
guarantee whatever, it would place the
makers of tires on a competitive basis,
and, no matter what tire a man might
get with his machine, if it did not
give satisfaction he would be at lib
erty to try some other make and work
around until he found something that
suited his road conditions and his
ways of driving, for it is a fact that
all tires are not always good under
all conditions"

WHY THE RIGHT
REAR TIRES WEAR

a great many rear right tires have
a tendency to wear more than other
tires on an automobile. The reason
for this may be that the wheels are
out of line" says a local tire man.
IAN axle may have been sprung by
skidding or otherwise. throwing the
rear construction out OF line eand caus-
ing the tire of this particular wheel
in revolving to slide more or less
In a side chain drive 1t is possible
that in taking up on the slack Of the
chains il may draw the rear axle out
of paralIelism with the cOuntershaft-
This is a frequent mistake made by
many autCmobilistS eEdeavOring to OBJ
tain an equal chain adjustment, dis
regarding the alignment Of the work
ing parts. One chain viii often wear
more than another, and consequently
the slack in one will be greater than
that in the other
In adjusting, however, the rear axle
must be kept parallel to the counter
shaft, irrespective Of enc chain being
more loose than the other. If this is
not done the rear wheels will be con-
stantly travelling at an angle to the
direction of the automobile, and the
tires be forced to slide accordingly.
Unequal brake adjustment, permitting
the brakes to lock one wheel and not
the other, will cause the rear right
wheel to slide and produce excessive
tire wear"

BRITISH AUTO MAKERS
TO FIGHT AMERICANS
Combination and Protective Tariff Pro-
posed to shut OFF the COMPETE
1fOn from America.

London, Eng, Oct 5.-Twenty lead
ing British motor manufacturers dis
cussed campaign to oppose the Amer
lean invasion at a luncheon given re-
Gently by Ralph D. BIumenfeld. editor
Of the London Daily Express, which is
promoting a movement against Ameri-
can automobiles.
The formation of a big British cor
poration or the com binatiOn Of exist
ing companies and the establishment
of a protective tariff were the definite
plans proposed. Several of the manu-
facturers made speeches in which they
all agreed that the British factories
and wOrkmen should supply the home
market with low priced machines, many
thousands of which are now coming to
England from America.
While a majority of the manufactur-
ers expressed confidence that the Brit
ish concerns had a firm grip on the
business in high class cars. they ad-
Uitted they could not, under present
conditions, compete with the United
States in marketing cars selling at
$1,000 and $3.50.
A letter sent by the duke of West
minister, read at the luncheon, disclosed
the fact that the Imperial Preference
league is raising a fund of S2,50O,0OO
to be used in preparing propaganda in
favor of an imperial tariff and an i'm
perial preference scheme, which would
leave some of the colonial market TO
British manufacturers.
