CARE OF AUTO TIRES.

} The air cushion in the tire is as inn portant as the tire itself. It's import ance makes the consequences of its neglect more widespread than any thing else; in other words, careful at fention to imitation is the most i'm portant factor in the care of an auto mobile tire.
 Next ins importance is the care of the tread. The body of pneumatic automobile tire consists of heavy fla brio is vulcanized a tread of tough, air cushion inside the inner tube. Fa- bric would offer but little resistance to road wear. therefore, over the fla bric is vu1canzide a tread of tough, wear resisting rubber
 The motorist who has preserved the fabric by proper imitation and has been enabled to secure good tire mile age can further increase his mileage by giving the tread the same inteI1i- gent care.
 The tread is the tires protection. Nature nuItipIies anaIogies. The bark of a tree or the skin of a human body perform exactly the same function, but ther is one fundamental difference. If the tree is injured or the finger cut, natural forces immediately set about repairing the damage, and the injury is healed. But a pneumatic tire when it receives cut is unable

a matter than is most important when the efficiency of the tube is consider ed, is fabrication. Practically all with a solution to prevent the Inner tubes from sticking to the adhesive
 friction of the fabric. An addition al good lubricant should be used how yer. Some users neglect altogether to use 1ubr1cant,-or employ 1t too spar ingly. Others use it to excess. If sOapstOne is the lubricant and too much is used, it collects in one place, crysta1izes, and heats to such a degree as" to burn the tube, making it thin, brittle and lifeless-this can be recog- mixed by the honey combed appear ance. Powdered graphite, .s though rather unpleasant to handle, is the most durable and efficient lubricant. Repairs are another snag that own CTS often run afouI of. It is perfectly practical for one to make his own re- pairs, but great care must be exer- cised. See that none but the part to be repaired is put the vl1lcanizer. Many times repairs made at home are not erviceable-patohes are put on carelessly and allow air to escape be- cause tube and patch are not proper ly prepared-danger of overcuring is not guarded against or perhaps the repaired parts are not properly lubri- cated when the tube is replaced. That tube with a, very large blowout may be repaired by inserting 8 new sec ton is not known by many.

DINNERS FOR HEADLIGHTS.

It is truly surprising, the number of accidents due directly to the bMnddng headlights of motor cars. In several of the large cities laws are being en- acted making it an offense for driver to use his powerful headlights within the city limits. Anticipating this con dItfon some ears are equipped with a special dinnning attachment. By sim ply pressing a, button at the drivers seat the headlights are dimmed to about the bri11iancy of side lamps and one runs no chance of b1inding. some other driver or pedestrian and get ting in a bad mix up. The mechanical side of it is very simple. In each of the electric bulbs are two wires of different size, one capable of giving a brilliant illumination. By pushing the dimrning button the lights can be brightened or reduced instantly and as often as desired. This feature has other advantages. It not only does away with the bother of side lamps, but by eliminating these lamps adds greatly to the beauty of the car by leaving the body lines unbroken.

SQUEEZING OUT WATER.

Compared with the high of last year. says the New York Mail,'' "au- tomobile shares listed on the stock ex- change indicate the squeezing out of a great deal of water. For instance, the difference between the high of 1912 and the low of this year in Gen eral Motors common is 40 per cent, and in the preferred it is Is per cent. In B. F. Goodrich common it is so per cent. and 80 per cent. in the preferred, and in Studebaker common TO per cent. and 35 per cent. in the preferred. Willys- Overland, quoted on the curb. has the smallest. loss of any stock of this class in which there is public trading"

Automobile News

Automobile speeders are not very popular with President Wilson, much as the President enjoys an exhihrat1ng spin in a motor car. O nelection day, when he travelled to his old home in Princeton, N. J., to cast his vote, President, Wilson had an opportunity of being driven at high speed by a driver who ranks as the premier of the motor car racing fraternity. To Ralph De Palma was assigned the inn portant duty Of driving the President from Princeton Junction, where his train from Washington was stopped, to the voting place in Princeton, De Palma was not afforded a chance to show his ability speed merchant because he was politely informed that President Wilson's idea of maximum speed in an automobile was twenty five miles an hour.

THE INNER TUBE.

Construction of inner tubes and the things which contribute to their wear ing out, are not always understood by the consumer and as a result, many times he does not get the best tube service What contributes to shorten ing the life of a tube has been given a great deal of attention by the ser vide department of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company and the follow ing. suggestions are offered. Spare tubes should not be carried n card
 board boxes as furnished from the dealers shelves-there is danger of the tubes chafing. If larger tires are used on the rear wheels than in front, carry extra tubes of each size. Inner .tub bes are made to size and if a tube too large for the case is used, pinch ing and wrinkling will result. If a tube is used in a case larger than that for which it is intended, abnorna al stretching and heating of the tube re- suits, the rubber becoming dead and losing its tOughness. If it were practi- cal to use a tube without regard to size, manufacturers could effect a big saving in equipment by not varying tha t1be4. Given least attention, yet

A TEN
 CADILLAC REPEATS.

Ten years ago a 10 h. D. Cadillac, then a new stunning representative of the latest in automobile development, won the Royal Automobile Club of Great Britain 1,000-mile reliability run. The car emerged from the trial with remarkable record, making B. 979 marks out of a possible ,900.
 Recently over the roads of Southern England, under the auspices of the R. A. C., the same little Cadillac two~ seated machine has been making a re- narkab1e showing by participating in the anniversary run of this famous trial and coming through with flying co1ors.
 What makes this performance even more remarkable is the fact that this little old car has been on the road continually since the trial of 1903, travelling many thousands of miles,

SALE OF ABBOTT MOTOR co.

Arrangements for the sale of the Abbott Motor Company, of Detroit, to Edward F. Gerber, of Pittsburgh, have been completed, number of the chief stockholders having held a meeting in Detroit, at which the pro position was ratified. The ratification includes about 90 per cent. of the stockholders. The proceeds of the sale are to be paid to the merchan- disc creditors of the company, accord ing to the present plan, while F. M. Knapp and his associate stockholders are to take up the bank indebtedness and are to be released from their oth- CT endorsements. Gerber is the man who tried to buy the Michigan Buggy Co.,, at Kalamazoo, Mich, when the latter went into bankruptcy. He has long been prosperous distributor of horse drawn vehicles and harness, and during the last few years also acted as distributor for the Michigan cars made at Kalamazoo.
 Considering the fretfu1 conditions of the automobile industry, a trans action of this kind involving a large amount of money furnished by capi- talists who are constantly in touch with the financial markets of the world, shows unlimited Sconfidence in the stability and future of the auto mobile industry.

automatically to do this. Care is ne

automatically to do this. Care is ne cessary.
 Cuts in a tire are not, in themselves dangerous, just as a cut in a finger is not in itself dangerous, but cut which isn't attended to will permit bacteria to enter the system and cause infection, so 8 cut penetrating the tread of a tire permits foreign sub stances from the road surface to enter and destroy the fabric. These foreign substances consist of two general c1aSseS-sand and moisture.
 At every revolution sand is forced into the cut. The cut is soon filled, but the weight of the car above con tinues to force in more. Naturally the sand must move somewhere, and talk ing the line of least resistance 1t be- gins to spread out in every direction from the cut between the tread and the fabric separating one from the other
 The first result is the so-ca11ed sand blister These natural causes continue, however, until the tread separations cover a larger space. It is not long before the tread tears loose.
 Aside from this action, the sand contains m ofsture which is immediate 1y absorbed by the fabric with which 1t comes in contact This rots the fla bric and rapidly weakens it, The Ee- suit is blowout. a~; - iSs ii'--i -A The remedy for these conditions is not as effective as the precaution which will prevent them. This pre- caution is simply to fiM the cuts in the tread with repair gum immediately after they are discovered. An excel lent plan is to spend a few moments each evening examining tte tires. If an inspection reveals a few cuts in the tread, they should be thoroughly cleaned out with gasoline and then filled with repair gum, of which there are several good brands on the mar ket. In the morning the repair. gum will have dried and become an integral part of the tire. The process is a, sim pie one, and the time spent in taking this precaution will repay every auto mobile owner many times, through the savings in tire expense, z~-.a,

ADJUSTMENT OF CARBUREroR.


 Now is the time for the automo bile owner to look to his carburetor. The changing temperatures make adjust ments necessary in order to Keep the motor running smoothly and evenly. Jos. w. Moon, president of the Moon Motor Car Company, gives some good advice along this line. When the carburetor gets out of adjustment, your motor knocks and misses, often the spark plugs get the blame. If the weather is colder than it was the last time you ran the car, strengthen the mixture slightly by increasing the flow of gasoline and decreasing the influx of air into the chamber. But first of alI if the engine runs at all, let it run for a while until it warns up thor ough1y. Because, if you make the ad- justments when the engine is cold you will have the job to do over again when it warns up. After the motor has warmed up and the throb is not even, make the adjustments for the low spark. Then raise the spark and adjust for that position. Of course, when a warm spell follows a cold snap the Iessening of the amount of gaso- line and increasing the flow of air is the necessary course to follow. But whatever you do, do not run your car with the motor knocking and missing If you cannot remedy the trouble yourself, have the adjustments made. For, of course, running your car when the supply of gasoline vapor and air is not right for the temperature re- suits in unnecessary wear on the narfS''

MILE. RECORD ON DIRT TRACK

Arizona's mile record on a dirt track was fractured November 6, when Barney O1dfeld, driving a, car round ed the track at Phoenix in forty eight seconds. Heretofore the best time made in Arizona has been fifty sec onds.
 Oldfeld holds the Michigan mile record and also the worlds record which he set in Bakersfield, Cali there was 46.4 seconds, just a little better than the record Bob Burnan had set some time before.
