SOME NEW WAYS
TO START A CAR

In addition to his other accomplish
ments. Postmaster Sloan Simpson OF
Dallas. Tex, Is an authority on starting
automobiles. He has prepared the fol-
lowing simple and infallible directions
for the guidance OF his friends:
1. Remove the spark plugs. empty the
carburetor-and crank the engine.
2. Sandpaper the fy-wheel. take on the
'ecoYnSnutator-and crank the machine.
8. Kick the pup. blow cigarette smoke
into the printing cocks-and crank the
engine.
f. Disconnect the driving shaft, reverse
the engine. empty the gasoline tank-and
crank the engine.
5. Repeat a verse from the Koran. tie
a wet towel about the cylinders. take On
the lubricators-and crank the engine
g. Take the motor entirely apart and
put 1t together with your fingers crossed,
drop q quarter into the tank-and crank
the engine.
Z. Crank the engine suddenly without
sseing anything else. This often surprises
II into running.
8. Turn your coat inside out, oil the
radiator. throw the gasoline strainer at q
spectator. stun cushion in the hy-whee
and crank the engine
8. Repeat the names of the prophets In
Arabic, put a gumdrop In the cylinder

guided by the following: Equip your car
with the largest tires possible. They Will
cost little more. but the extra initial

Larger tires, in addition to being more
economical. mean less trouble and more
solid comfort in riding.
Starting and Stopping Auto.
Motorists should learn efficiency in
starting and stopping machine. A lot
of unnecessary tread wear is caused
through the inability to start or stop
machine in the proper manner. This
fact, no doubt. is known, but the point
is IL the tire must be cared for it

start too suddenly. and don't bring your
car to a standstill within its own
length unless circumstances call for 1t.
Slow up gradually.

stopping the car. Adjust your brakes
often. Be careful also not to run In
car tracks or against curbs or In ruts.
The side walls of a tire are as rule

siIiency. A motorist should be extra
careful to. protect his tires at this
point

|AMER|CA IS BEHIND
EUROPE IN HIGHWAYS
Good Roads Movement Is
World Wide, Says
E.: Cornell.

The movement for good roads is at
the present time world wide," says Ed
ward s. Cornell Of the National Highways
Protective Society," but In America we are
tar behind Europe in that the authorities
here do not count the cost and lay aside
a sufficient amount for q roads upkeep
after it has been built. Moreover, many
roads are BUILT in this country whose
foundations are not sufficiently perma-
nent to sNnd the strain Of the ever-in-
creasing weight of traffic.
Elm Germany an appropriation OF 1000
to 10000 marks for a mile Of roadway
would not be thought of, unless every
detail. as to foundation and kind Of
surfacing to be used. had been worked
out to assure the permanency of the
highway for years to come, together
with an annual appropriation set aside
for upkeep.
''In France they have been expert
menting for a number OF years, and
have not yet reached conclusions as
to what Is the best kind Of roadway
that will stand pneumatic, solid rubber
and steel tires. For instance, the sur
facing of the road between Paris and
Versailles, which is used mainly for light
traffic, has for several years been re-
newed each year. LAvenue de la Grande
Armee, where all methods Of road-mak-
ing are tried out, has been resurfaced
four times in seven years, with no def
mite conclusion as to the best surface ma
terial.

Other Nations Experience.

"England's Roman roads have, to "a
great extent. been ruined under the pres
emit traffic conditions. The twenty-six diff
ferent kinds Of roadways that were laid
down on the London olkestone road, be-
tween New Ethan and Sidcup. in Oc-
tober, 1870 have not proved as salts
factory as was expected, according to
the best information received. although
the official report on them had not been
published up to the 18th Of December.
Considering the experience OF other
nations. 1t behooves the people Of this
country to see that the money expended
for good roads is spent in g. way that
tends toward permanency, especially as
to the foundation. and that due care be
exercised as to what material, whether
it be wood block, vitrified brick. asphalt
or the so-called binders, be used, and
that, with each appropriation for the good
roads not less than 15 per cent per an
mum Of the cost Of the road be set aside
for its upkeep. In Germany they are
paying as much attention to lateral roads
as they are to trunk highways, because
they assist the farmer in marketing his
products and tend to reduce the cost OF
living.
Have we, in this country, up to the
present time, considered lateral roads
along these lines?

Not Properly Inflated.

"A word on the imitation. 1t n. common
practice among car owners to drive their
cars on tires not properly inflated. This
is altogether wrong IL the life Of tires
Is taken into consideration. The car
may ride little easier. but the owner
pays dearly for his luxury. Underinffa-
ton means short nfe for the automobile
tire.
Tire manufacturers recognize that
more faults are caused by underinfation
than from any other cause. The policy
Of one large tire and rubber company is
to educate its patrons to properly care
for their tires and give them as long life
a. possible. No motorist should be With
out a reliable air gauge. and tires should
be kept at the prescribed pressure-twenty
pounds per inch Of the cross section. For
instance, il tire Is a four-inch one, then
the pressure of air in the tire should be
eighty pounds.
"Overload.ng Is a common fault among
motorists. Il Is not unusual to see q party
of eight or nine JOY riding in a seven
passenger car. 1t is frequently said that
per cent added to the weight Of a car
adds Is per cent to the wear andn tear
OF tires. 50 II can be easily seen whats

It means frequent punctures and blow

TIMELY TIRE TALK
To Give Service Proper .InfIa-
ton Is Essential.
{ PROMPT ATTENTION HELPS
Overlooking Is Another Common
Mistake of Many Auto
Owners.

Pneumatic tires are constructed to give
service, says prominent tire official, and
experts with a superior knowledge of the
tire building game are continually expert
menting to give the best to the automobile
owner. Pneumatic tires. he says. will

OF developing a chronic case OF trouble,
will stand a chance of running a mileage
perhaps twice or three times as long as
otherwise possible.
differentiation, overlooking and i'm
proper alignment are evils that are COM
mon, but close attention will easily de-
tect them. Road conditions also play an
important part in the life OF tires. Stone
bruises and cuts are ruinous TO automo-
bile tires Take the trouble early in the
game-use a little plastic or quick repair
gum and fix the cut or the bruise. and
perhaps the unexpected blowout Will be
avoided.
Outside these common faults there are
others none the less important, which
undermine the life and strength OF a
tire-take all the sap out Of 1t, as II
were. Nurse your tires and give them
close scrutiny.
