SafetY-Eirst Campaign.

The chamber of commerce of SYRIA
cuse and the Automobile Club Of the
same city have started a safety-f1rst
campaign in that city. The action fol-
lowed a number Of accidents in the
streets. Organizations and individuals
are taking up the movement for safety
and in various social, labor and civic
organizations immediate steps are be-
ing taken to promote safety. In brief.
the campaign will be one of education
to impress upon the minds Of all,
whether drivers or pedestrians, how
best to avoid accidents in the streets.

HINTS To
MOTORISTS

Lamps and trimmings may Be lightly

the car is about to be taken out In the
rain. It will serve to protect the polished
surfaces from the stains and blotches
which otherwise are so hard to get rid OF.
Rubber tubing connections between the
gas tank and the headlights should be
of the best grade OF material obtain
able for the purpose and should be re-
newed whenever the rubber dries out
and begins to reveal tiny cracks around
the connections. This precaution will
save considerable gas In the course OF
a years running.

To Care for Needy Veterans.

Final arrangements are to be made in
Detroit for the formation of a benevo-
lent society of veterans OF the automobile
industry, the name of the organization
having been left for decision of the first
meeting, to be held some time in Deem
Der. This organization will be formed
TO keep track of the old-timers in the
automobile business, and also TO look
after the interests of their families in
time OF need. OF late several old-timers
in the motor car field have met with
misfortune. accidents, sickness and the
like. and in their time of need have been
in real want. In other instances old
timers have dropped away, leaving their
families in dire straits.

Readiusting Float Level.

When a new motor, which otherwise
runs well and develops a fair amount OF
power, proves difficult TO start. the din
Guilty not infrequently may be remedied
by readjusting the float level OF the car
bureter. 1t is the practice with q num-
Der of manufacturers to test out their
cars with a special grade OF high-test
fuel. and where this has been done il
sometimes happens that the fuel COM
mercially obtainable in the locality to
which the car is sent is of enough lower
Gravity materially TO alter the effective
setting. This is a matter which the
dealer should look after.

Effective Way to Clean Radiator.

One Of the most effective ways OF
cleaning out a radiator that has be-
come foul as a result Of accumulations
of sediment or scale is to connect 1t
with a boiler and allow steam to blow
through it for an hour or two 1t is
necessary. of course, to make sure that
not enough pressure accumulates TO
burst any of the tubes. For ordinary
deposits of sediment 1T is usually sur
ficient to disconnect the outlet at the
base of the radiator and insert hose
at the top. letting clean water run
through until the stream issuing at
the bottom runs perfectly clear. This
operation by the way. may properly
be carried out at no infreQnent inter-
walls, particularly where 1t is impos-
sible to secure perfectly clean water
for ordinary filing purposes.

PROPER INITIATION
SAVES TIRE BILLS
Careful Attention USUALLY In
SureS Good Service to
AutoiStS.
A LITTLE OVERSIZE WILL
ADD MUCH CONFIDENCE
Decreases Cost Per Mile, the Ulti-
mate Test of Real
Economy.

T. J. Henderson, manager of the ad-
lusting department of an Akron, Ohio. tire
concern. is the author of an article on
oversize tires which should prove of in
terest 10 local motorists. In the course
of his article on this subject he says:
Tho Importance of keeping a pneumatic
automobile tire inflated to the proper
pressure, and avoiding the evil of under
Imitation, is something that never be
overemphasized. IF less than the proper
pressure be carried the weight of the
car will not be properly sustained. and as
a. consequence there will be more or less
flattening out where the tire touches the
ground. This not only subjects the cas-
ing to destructive bending action when
in motion. but renders it susceptible to
injury from bruises and bumps which
fully inflated tire would safely resist.
The same condition occurs when
car with its extras is not equipped with
tires large enough to properly support the
load, and although it be properly inflated,
the weight fiattenS it out where it rests
on the ground just in the case of a tire
large enough but not inflated to the
proper pressure The extra strain thus
imposed not only breaks down the side
walls, but increases susceptibility to all
the various forms of trouble.
Bridges as an Example.
In the design of a bridge where the
factor of public safety is actively impor-
tant there must be no possibility of
breakdown The strains and their COM
binations are carefully calculated from
both theoretical and empirical data
When, in this way. it is determined that
bar a quarter inch thick would be just
equal to the strain, bar an inch and
half thick-six times the thickness actual
IL necessary-is adopted. The extra inch
and quarter is margin of safety which
insures the structure against any unfore-
seen and unusual strain to which it may
be subject. The lack of this margin of
safety would be inimical to public well
fare.
by the same token the tire which gives
good service. other things being equal, is
the one which not only provides the nee
essarY strength to resist the average
strains, but which also provides sufficient
margin of safety also to resist the un-
usual extra strains which at times occur.
Insures Good Service.
Proper attention to imitation will usual
ly insure good service. For the man who
exercises care in this particular, but who
is still unrewarded with the good service

usually returned by this precaution, the
solution lies in the use of the oversize
tire-the largest tire that fits each rim.
For every standard size of rim there are
two sizes of tire which fit. For example,
Ska rim carries a 34x4 tire. Should the
34x4 tire, after the car has been equip
ped with it's extras, prove Inadequate for
the support of the load. the 35x41a tire,
which also fits the Ska rim and is the
regular oversize for the 34x4, is the proper
size to insure satisfactory service. Also
the 33x4 is the regular oversize for the
32x3R.
Usually it is by experience that the
motorist discovers he has equipped his
car with tires that are too small. He
then desires to change to the regular
oversize tire for his rims. For making
this change, the manufacturer has pro-
vided every convenience. Not only does
the oversize fit the rim as perfectly as
the regular size, but it also takes the
same tube. Tubes. like rims, are now
made interchangeable. Consequently the
change over to the oversize VIII not
require any changes or additions as to
the tube equipment.
Benefits of Oversize.
1.-The oversize tire contains between
so and 10 per cent more air capacity
than the regular size. This extra ca
pacity makes possible not only more
effective air cushion to sustain the weight
imposed. but higher residence as 81.
An oversize tire naturally costs ore
than one of the regular size, becs 1t
is larger. It's more effective air G. ION,
however, as we'll as the better d sibu-
ton of road wear, because of IT extra
width. insures still greater mil &c in
proportion to the initial cost nd SO
its use decreases the cost per mi .. and
cost per mile rather than cost per tire,
is the ultimate test of economy.
But its most important advantage re-
mains to be stated. Every rnotorist,
though he be pleased with good mileage
at moderate cost, is still better pleased
if he can obtain this mileage without tire
trouble, and what is perhaps still more
important. with feeling of confidence,
engendered by actual experience, that
the possibility OF trouble is so remote as
to cease to be factor. This feeling of
confidence, safety. and freedom from
trouble, as well as its real economy, is
the advantage OF the oversize tire

Slip in Clutch Does Little Harm.

While it is the consensus of opinion
among experienced motorists that q
cone clutch should be adjusted SO as
not to slip, it will be found that where
an inexperienced driver is to be dealt
with small amount of slip does lit
tie or no harm. Where the clutch is
permitted to slip, the shocks to the
mechanism due to too sudden engage
ment are abridged, while the overload
ing of the engine, as a result Of using
too high gear while hill-climbing,
may be relieved sufficiently to prevent
unpleasant pounding.
