HESS GIVES ADVICE
ON CARE OF TIRES

One of the best Informed men or

Hess. representative here OF Diamond
tires. Hess gave out some informal tIor
this week about the care OF tires dur.
ing winter months. and 1t is worthy o,
the attention OF every man who drive,
car during the winter season. Here
are some Of the interesting facts pre-

the tires in cloth or paper, the best re-.

MARYLAND GOVERNOR
PICKS TRAFFIC MEN
Commission Is Named to lnves.
tigate Motor Trucking and
Other Conditions in State.

Washington business firms that send
their automobile trucks into Maryland
will be interested to learn that Cover
nor Goldsboropgh has appointed q
traffic commission to investigate motor
trucking and other TRAFFIC conditions to
cooperate with the Maryland State
roads commission in drafting q law that
will be fair to all parties concerned.
Motor truck interests have been con-
cerned over the reported proposal to
enact legislation in Maryland this win
ter to limit the weight and speed OF
motor trucks for the protection OF the
State roads. H. g. Shirley, chief en-
gineer of the Maryland State roads
commission has informed the Automo-
bile Chamber OF Commerce. IN New
will always try to be reasonable and
try to draw the line where II will be
fair to all concerned" Tho commissions
are now studying the weights and also
the loads Of motor trucks, etc, width
of body, tire widths and other factors
Motor vehicle manufacturers hold that
It would be polite to delay action on
all movements toward automobile and
motor truck legislation until the Joint
commissions make their report, which Is
expected during the present winter. II
mend that any new bill to regulate
heavy vehicles be made to conform in
provisions with the law enacted last
spring In Massachusetts, and the regu-
lations promulgated during the summer
by the State highway commissioner Of
New York, which are almost Identical.
These limit the gross weight to fourteen
tons and the speed to fifteen miles an
hour for vehicles weighing more than
four tons. and to twelve miles an hour
for vehicles Weighing more than six tons
Weight per inch width Of tire on any
one wheel Is restricted to 800 pounds.

NO DANGER FROM
LIQUID GASOLENE
Explosions Are Due Only to
Gases Caused By Evapori-
zation.

"Most people believe that gasolene in
its liquid state IL very explosive, bu,
sasoiene ID quite harmless, except when
exposed to a naked fame. when the
liquid win burn rapidly. but not neces-
sarily explode" said William II. Stew
art tr., who has given much attention
to this subject.
"A lighted match may readily be ex-
tinsuished by dipping 1t into the fluid
II done quickly" continued Stewart.
"Gasolene tanks such as used In au-
tomobiles may easily be soldered with
the hot fame Of the blew torch II the
tank u partly niied With gasoiene. How
ever. II the tank 10 almost emptied Of
Its contents, leaving only enough of the
huid TO form q gas, the tank becomes
most dangerous bomb. In fact a
number Of persons have been killed by
taking the precaution to empty the
tank before soldering. not knowing they
were thereby creating q greater source
Of danger.
Raw sasolene burns very slowly. II
1t were not for the vaporizer or car
bureter on the automobile engine the
sasolene would be practically useless.
In other words there must be q proper
mixture OF sasolene and air In order to
get an explosion. This Is the function
Of the carbureter. namely. to reduce the
liquid gasolene to an explosive mix
ture.
This 10 done by two main controls,
namely. that Of the sasolene and that
Of the air. II too much air Is admitted
and not enough sasolene q lean mix
ture Is obtained II too much gasolene
and not enough air. then a rich mix
ture results. In either case the motor
will not approximate its horsepower
Not until the proper proportion il
reached will II develop the greatest ef-
ficiency."
