Tire Valve arrangements.

Probably the majority of tire valve de-
rangements are due to the rubber washer
in the screw cap of the valve itself. The
large thimble which envOlopS the whole
valve Is not meant. but the little cap
which must be screwed of before the
pump cam be applied to the valve. What
occurs is this: When the valve cap Is
screwed home the rubber plug squeeZas
out Of shape. and is more or less cut by
the sharp edges of the valve. so that
very small Pieces of rubber are ground
OFF It. These get into the valve. and be-
f0rS very long 1t commences to leak when
the only remedy 1t to let all the air out
Of the tire. take out the very stem. re-
move the particles Of rubber which have
got into the valve. replace ana relnflate-
a laborious operation which no one will
ingly undertakes. To get rid Of all this
trouble 1t Is only necessary to cut small
hard leather disks which Will just fit
into the valve cap. The leather Will not
be cut by the screwing up OF the valve
cap, nor will it push into the valve as
the rubber plug does. 1t is not neces-
sary or des' rable to remove the rubber
plug in the valve cup. but merely to put
the leather one on the top OF 1t. The
rubber gives q certain spring behind the
leather. and Is therefore beneficial.

Leaking Radiator Cap.

One of the minor annoyances to which
motorists are sometimes subjected is leak
ing at the radiator cap, and. while it is
only a small matter. it can be SO >easily
obviated that there is no good rea son for
letting it go. The reason for this leaking
is that the velocity Of the water circu-
lation occasionally exceeds the capacity
of the radiator. or. again. it may be that
owing to some faulty condition causing
overheating steam is generated by the
waters boiler faster than the overflow
will take it off. The cure is very simple.
Make a gasket of red fiber one-sixteenth
Of an inch thick and place 1t under the
filter cap. This will serve the double
purpose Of preventing the cap from work
ing aoose and will keep the water from
leaking out and staining the radiator with
unsightly blotches of rust.

1t frequently happens that car runs
finely for time and then the motOrist
suddenly awakens to the fact that its
action is becoming less and less lively,
and upon looking back. i'll the light OF
this illuminating realization, sees this
failure has been coming on for long
while. but so slowly as to have missed
attention till now. With such symptoms
as these. it should be noted whether the
exhaust is smoky and smelly and re-
membered whether or not it is habitual-
ly So If it is. the most likely place to
apply a remedy is in the muffier. the
small holes of which are clOgged and
NAV be almost entirely closed. Exhaust
back pressure works this way.

Cleaning Leather Upholstery.

OF course, every motorist knows the
standard recipe for cleaning and renew
ing leather upholstery, but il is good
enough TO bear repeating. Raw linseed
oil and turpentine mixed i'm proportions
of two of the former to one of the latter
is the time honored formula. For cleans
ing cloth upholstery use clear water and
mixture of three-fouiths of an ounce
of common salt and two ounces of either
n ain or wood alcohol, simply rubbing
the cloth with a sponge dampened in the
above mixture.

Repairing Punctured Tires.

The most common cause of tire failure
is puncturing the air tube by a nail. int
or other sharp object. which passes
through the outer casing into the tube
The first step in a temporary repair is 10

lacking up the wheel. after which the
tire may be removed from the rim. or il
the location of the puncture is known ii
will be unnecessary to remove the entire
casing. One tire may be removed and
portion of the inner tube removed. IL
necessary to hunt for the puncture the
tube should be entirely removed from the
casing inflated and either submerged in
water or the entire length passed over.

SlipEzng Clutch q Nuisance.

the cntch leather may be burned out and
thus s}ivolve expenditure for renewal of

adjustsnent of the clutch spring and in
othertthe adjustment is often diIncult to

quick sremedy is one often used by driv-

TO SEND ROAD DELEGATES

TWenty-nine governors have named dele

Many of the governors who have APP
pointed, delegates are very much awake
to the Importance Of the federal aid prop
aganda- and show that they intend to
make 1t their business TO aid the cause
in any way possible. Following are quo

in favor OF every movement tending to
further the good roads cause in which
your organization is SO active, and 1
trust the delegates I have named will
take keen and beneficial interest in
the work OF the convention"
Gov. Blease of South Carolina: The
subject Of good roads Is one which every
man should be interested in. and hope
that this state will be represented. and
that much good will be derived from
the convention"
Gov Mann of Virginia: II desire to
DO what l can to aid you in securing
federal aid for good roads"
GOV Brewer of Mississippi: II ap-
preciate the impetus given to good
roads building by your association. and
heartily favor everything that promotes
the building and maintenance OF good
highways"
Gov. Ammons of Colorado: Il assure
you l am in sympathy with the idea
OF federal aid for the construction Of

sympathy with the good roads move
ment"
Gov. Miller of. Delaware: You may
rest assured that anything ] can do to
promote the good roads movement. either

In purchasing calcium carbide for IN
generators it is a good plan To use only
the grade which the maker of the APP
paratus recommends. If pulveriZed car

for the coarser grades. for example.
there is considerable likelihood that clog

Loose Bonnet Handles.

The handles of bonnets are likely 10
get loose as the car is used. especially
If screws are employed to fasten them

be made by the hood itself and Is most

such influences. The screws should be
frightened occasionally.
