PREPARATION FOR
STORAGE OF TIRES

Tires are more likely to suffer from
improper storage than almost any other
part Of an automobile. Considering that
they cannot stand every condition, more
stress should be laid upon their care.
When the automobile is stored, it Is
best to remove the tires from the rims.
Pile them one upon the other, don't
stand them upright. The room in
which they are stored should be mod
erately cool because excessive heat or
excessive cold will tend TO deteriorate
rubber. A dark room is preferable as
rubber is affected by the light If,
however, dark quarters are not obtain
able, the tires should be covered with
a large canvas.
Tubes should be inflated slightly,

MIDLAND AUTOISTS
FORM ASSOCIATION
Fifty Owners There Agree to Maintain
Better Roads in Plains Country
for q Tenr.


Midland. Tex, Oct. 25.-An important
step in the good roads. movement in
west Texas was taken here when the
Midland Automobile association was
formed. Fifty auto owners signed up
years contract for the maintenance Of
the roads in this district and it is ex-
pected that as many more will enter.
Such an organization has been dis
cusSed for some time, but its crystalli-
cation into definite form was largely
due TO vigorous efforts of W. 3. Elkin
and Dr. W. W. Lynch, aided by the ef-
feet Of the recent heavy rains
For immediate action on the road re-
pairs and maintenance. NJ F. Burns was
appointed treasurer and manager. He
will have direct supervision over all of
the auto roads. under the direction of
an advisory committee consisting Of
judge E. r Bryan, DR.. J. B. Thomas
and George D. Elliott. A permanent or
ganiZatiOn will be completed soon.
A peculiar condition, common to
most of the plains country, exists here.
That is that the majority of the auto
mobile traffic is over special roads
through the great pastures, which are
used only for autos. They are, there
fore, private roads but are used by the
entire auto travelling public and their
maintenance must fall on individuals
or such an association as has been
formed.
The Midland association will, how
ever. exert a tremendous influence for
good on the road situation here, and
with the county roads to be built with
the $4,000 bond issue recently sold,
will insure some of the finest roads In
Texas.

RETURNING FROM
COLE CAR TEST
Many Kinds of Roads Are Traversed
in the West by Engineers-SOme
Good Roads Found.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 1S.-It will be
a happy trio that returns to this city
when the engineer test car of the Cole
Motor Car company completes its
work. There will be a fatted calf
the intrepid vOyagers when they con-
clude one of the most remarkable
trips ever made.
Just now chief engineer Crawford,
chief tester Pettijohn and field adVer-
Using manager Bradfield are IN
Wyoming. They are shaping their
course as nearly direct to Indianapo-
lis as possible. They have been out
since July u on the double trans
continental test trip with the Cole
six model C. They have been away
from home so. long that the absence
is beginning to pail on them. Letters
received recently indicate the home
sick spirit of the explorers.
Chief engineer Crawford candidly
declares that he is getting Disguised
with the trip. Since the weeks spent
in testing the Cole six in the noun
tains and sand of the Pacific north
west, Crawford has found no roads
equal to the ones he played" on for
nearly a month. He states without
reservation that he never expects to
find the garden spots for testing that
confronted him on all sides in Ore
gOn, Washington, British Columbia
and Idaho. Even Montana, he writes,
did not come up to the standard set
farther west.
1T looks very much as If we had
finished our testing as far as actual
good can be accomplished wrote the
chief engineer in his last report TO
president Cole. 7 have despaired Of
finding any roads like we encountered
in the Pacific northwest. The noun
tain highways east of Idaho and
Montana are nothing like the ones we
found before.
I'VE have tested the standardized
car for more than 1000 miles Our
work has Teen under the most adverse
conditions at times Our testing has
been equal to 100000 miles of ordinary
touring We will never be able to
give the car as gruelling tests as it
already has been subjected to-"

QUICK ATTENTION
WILL SAVE AUTO
Official Explains Why Owner should
Be Alert for Any Small
Trouble,

''The old adage. "A stitch in time
saves nine might be revised for the
benefit of the auto owners to read,
Timely attention saves large ex-
penses. It is exaggerating but little
if any. to say that fully rs percent of
mechanical troubles that develop in
automobiles are a direct result of in
attention on the part of car owners"
declares A. o. Workman, of the Work
man & Julian garage.
knocks, pounds or other foreign
noises emanating from the motor and
plainly indicating distress within are
for a time tolerated, and the owner
duiets his conscience by assuring him
self that he will have the matter in
vestigated the first time it is cOnven-
lent for him to be without his car for
a day or so. However, it susally hap
pens that the convenient time is not
forthcoming. Mr.. CaroWner continues
to drive his car; the indications of dis
tress become more pronounced; then
finally the inevitable happens-the
motor is disabled and the car has to
be towed to a repair shop.
The motor is taken apart for in
spection and the mechanic reports a
scored cylinder; a broken connecting
rod bearing cap and damage to other
parts that invariably accompany this,
or, other trouble that will make neces-
Sary the installing of new parts and
considerable labor to correct"

Are Ready For Race Ell Paso To Phoenis
CROSSES COUNTRY
ON SIX CASINOS
Does Own Repairing and Wins $4,000
Wager on Tires; From Coast TO
Coast in so Days.

Coast IN 80 Ddyss
Crossing the American continent in
a motor car is no longer considered
unusual but there are conditions when
such an achievement attracts atten-
ton.
c. Haven Smith, of San Francisco, has
just ended a trip from the Golden Gate
City to New York, made under novel
conditions. Smith, an amateur driver,
piloted his car from coast to coast in
80 days, and thereby won wager Of
$4,000. He was limited to six tires in
order to qualify for the money.
Another of the unique conditions was
the stipulation whereby he was not
permitted to enter a garage or repair
shop along the route for the purpose
OF making repairs or adjustments. r.
Z. Hilton was named as official OBJ
server on the trip.
Whatever attention was needed for
the car had to be given, it was agreed,
by Smith who had been driving the
machine only four months, and by his
wife who accompanied him.
1.-THE trip was just as strenuous as
our worst fears lead US to prepare for"
said Smith at the end of the journey.
There were days when we never would
have ventured out upon the road had
it not been necessary to keep going in
order to win the wager.
I'VE encountered every manner Of
difficulty, including cloudburst in
Wyoming and a terrific hailstorm on
the ColOradO-Kansas line, which tore
the cars top to ribbons.
1T all looked at the start like a
great way to spend a vacation, but now
that it is over. I can testify that the
voyage was far from being a joy ride.
81 am proud of the reeord-4000
miles in 80 days over all roads and in
all weather is pretty good for a man
who is practically a novice"
In the west, Smith followed the
vada, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri.
From Chicago eastward he travelled by
way of Toledo. Cleveland, Buffalo,
Rochester. Syracuse. Utica, Schenectady,
and New York

these pictures, since they are to be
found in art galleries all over the
world. One of the leading art
critics. John G. Van Dyke, says :.
You must look at a picture stu
diously, earnestly, honestly. 1t
will take years before you can come
to a full appreciation of it, but
when at last you have, you will be
possessed Of one of the purest, lof-
tiest and most ennobling pleasures
that the world can offer you"
There is . two-fold purpose in this

First-To give people an oppor.
