Lenky Radiator stops Car.

It may not seem possible that a leak in
the radiator would kill a motor and pre-
vent further movement of the car for
more than an hour, but such was the case
of one of the Indiana-Pacifc tourists.
The trouble, of course, was not due pri-
marily to the radiator leak, but the mag
neto being directly behind the point OF
leakage, il was affected and refused to
give up any current. The water coming
from the puncture in the radiator was
blown back onto theamagne due to the
force of the wind, with the result that
the breaker points were short-circuited
continually by the water. The driver ex-
smined every part of the motor and
never dreamed of looking at the magnetic,
for the instrument never gave any trou-
BILE, and being of a good make was not
expected to die. A glance at the radia-
tor leak and another at the magnetic
near by concluded the search for the
faulty part. The leak was repaired and
the magnetic cleaned and dried, and the
car continued on its journey to the Coast

GOOD ROAD and MOTOR
REDUCE Living COST
Delays and Expense Of Transportation
Have Prevented Farmers Reach
ing Markets Promptly.
HAULING GREATLY REDUCED

The most interesting feature of this
fast approaching era of improved roads
and the commercial motor is their GER
tain effect in the cheapening of the cost
of farm produce to dwellers in the cities, /"
says c. W. Martin, manager motor
truck tire department, the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio.
The delays and cost of transportation
have prevented the farmer living some
distance from a distributing point from
marketing his produce proftably. With
soft roads and horse drawn wagons. five
miles is the average limit beyond which
the green goods of a city's supply can
not be drawn. With good roads and me-
chanical transportation. all the country
within thirty miles or more is available
for truck gardens. Fruit and vegetables
can be profitably produced over a terri
tory many times larger than when hauled
by horses.
AN illustration of how firmly mechan-
ical transportation has become estab-
lished in this country" says Mr.. Martin,
lis given in the action taken recently by
motor truck club in the West The
club intends to compete with the rail-
roads by operating a fleet of motor
trucks. With commercial vehicles it is
estimated that better service can be
given at a minimum cost.
Let US be thankful that this condition
throughout the country is fast approach
ing. Better roads and commercial mo-
tors will within the next few years make
a great Improvement in conditions, for,
altogether, they will cut down the aver
see cost Of hauling farm produce, to less
than half of what it is today"

IMMUNITY FROM TIRE
TROUBLE OBTAINABLE
Exercising Care in Making Prepsra-
lions for Trip Will Secure Prompt
Repairing Of Blow-outs.

"One-hslf of the enjoyment of touring
is immunity from tire troubles, says l.
c. Rockhill. manager of the automobile
tire department of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company. Akron, Ohio.
The average ownsr-driver can enjoy
this immunity by exercising care in max
ing his preparations. Blow-outs. pune
uIres, and other tire troubles are hold
ups that he looks forward to with no
degree of enjoyment. whereas a little
nreparation in the way of accessories
for temporary repairs obviates unneces-
sary delay.
In the first place. he should be sure
that his castings and tubes are in good
condition and that he has an extra sup
ply Of both. Then with a good air pump,
a tire gauge to test the air pressure in
his tires. and a supply of tire repair de-
vices he can go on his way confident
that he has taken every precaution TO
sidestep tire troubles. He will find that
thus prepared the tour will be more en-
joysble both for himself and his party.

MERCER RACEAB0UT
HAS FINE ENDURANCE
The monk" Performed Well in Re-
cent Road Race After Years
of Service.

Since the advent ot automobile racing
there has always been a question among
race followers as to the average length
n usefulness Of a car especially con-
structed for speed contests. Many cars
which have been conspicuous in auto
mobile race classics have passed to the
Junk with regulations for having given
Years of service, but there are very few
regularly constructed machines that have
pasSed through as strenuous a campaign
of racing without showing signs of the
battles as has the Mercer raceabout,
which has been christened the Monk
The Monk" that Louis Nikrent pi-
loted into third place in the recent Santa
Monica road race is the same car that
Hughie Hughes took through a success
full campaign during the season of 1911
and that was driven by De Palma in his
Pacific Coast races the following season.
The performance of the Monk" in the
Santa Monica race was remarka BILE, con-
sidering that this car has been a par
ticipant in more long distance contests
than any other machine ever built in
this country.
Early in 1911 Hughes took over the car
and in the races on the Florida beach
in March of that year he cleaned up
everything in the 3CO-cubic inch class
Two months later the same car was en-
tered in the 50O-mile race at indianapolis
and. although il was the smallest ma
chine in the contest, in point of piston
displacement, it finished within the prize
money in twelfth place. In this long
grind il averaged siNty-seven and a half
miles an hour.
Following this it won the 17O-mile Kane
County Trophy Race at Elgin on August
.. and on the next day it went out of
its class to enter the Elgin National
Trophy Race, a 5OO-cubic inch piston dis
placement event. and succeeded in pulling
down third place.

AnalyEing a VOLCANIC.
rom Youths Companion.

From Youths Companion.
Members of the stan OF the geophys-
ical laboratory of the Carnegie Institution
are studying the physics and chemistry
of active volcanoes at the crater of
Kilauea in Hawaii. During the summer
of 1872 these investigators descended into
the crater and collected gases directly
from the lava. SThese they sealed in glass
tubes without letting the gases come in
contact with the air at all. They sent the
tubes to Washington. Besides taking
samples of liquid lava directly from the
molten lake, the investigators studied the
composition of the nongaseous matter
in the cloud of smoke above the volcano.
Since some authorities have believed that
there is no water in the material emitted
by volcanoes, it is interesting to notice
that the geophysical laboratory workers
condensed no less than half pint of
water by cooling one Of the gases thac
they had taken directly from the boiling
lava

LIFE OF AUTO MAY BE
Heightened BY CARE
Breakdown of Tires Is Often Due to
Carelessness on the Part
of the Drivers.
SHOULD BE WELL INFLATED

An automobile is pretty nearly human
In one respect. Care is necessary TO
make its life long, and that it may per-
form its functions up to the standard Of
its creation. That Is often entirely over
looked by the owner of the car. and this
negligence is certain TO hasten tire
breakdown.
Any tire is subject to more or less
abuse. II must encounter all kinds of
roads and receive little or no consid-
Grafton from the driver. Cuts, stone
bruises, mud blisters, &c, result, and IL
these are neglected they eventually lead
IN the destruction of the tire. as dissi-
patton does in the case of the man.
Tire neglect runs bills up unbelievably.
There are many more things for the
drivers TO consider than the mere driving
of the car. Road conditions play an i'm
portant part in the life of tires. Infia-
ton, distribution of the weight of the
machine, and alignment Of the wheels
are also influential. No two tires in a
set may give the same service, although
their quality. workmanship, and con-
struction may be Identical. One may
give out far before its time. There is a
reason for this. Do not blame the tire.
always look at the real cause and place
the blame where IL belongs.
The service and mileage OF a tire de-
pend as much on the conditions under
which 1t is used as upon the quality of
the tire itself Possibly three-fourths Of
the tires returned to the manufacturers
for repairs have been ridden when they
were insuficiently inflated. insufficient
imitation is responsible to a greater eX-
tent than perhaps anything else for blow
outs and quick disintegration.
When a tire is imperfectly inflated the
walls are continually bending back and
forth as the car moves, and the result is
the same as when a wire or piece OF
metal is bent back and forth in the hands.
Heat is engendered in the threads and
because of this heat and the continued
bending the walls soon weaken and give
away. In a short time they become too
weak to support the air pressure multi
piled by the weight OF the car. and blow
outs result. Not only that, but when a
tire becomes loose a lump or fold of
rubber fabric is formed just in front Of
the part in contact with the ground. This
is what tiremakers call "kinking." This
tends to separate the plies of the fabric,
or, in aggravated cases. to chew up the
walls OF the tire, as well as that portion
of the tube that happens to get caught
Don't initiate your tires by guess. A biz,
thick-walled tire will show little depres-
sion under a heavy load. even though the
air pressure is too low for safety. One
cannot tell from appearances whether or
not the tires are perfectly inflated. A
good gauge should be used and tires
tested every day.

TRANsCoNTINENTAL TOUR
IS ENDED IN NEW YORK
l.. c. Dennin., of Pasadena, Cal,
Concludes IO,23S Miles Trip
when He Reaches Broadway.

tOnCIudea lOs%oS Mics IT'D
when He Reaches Broadway.
New York welcomed a new transcon-
tinental motorist last week, when DR..
Lee c. Denning. OF Pasadena. Cal. drove
his Model 50 Overland down Broadway
and finished a tour of 0,23S miles.
DIR. Denning. in his trip. set a new
record for long-distance fuel economy,
having averaged 153S miles. over every
variety of road that the United States
offers. to a gallon of gasoline. He left
his home in Pasadena. Cal, on May 81
taking the Midland Trail to Salt Lake
City, and then the Overland Trail
through Cheyenne and Omaha, and
reaching Cleveland, a distance of 1900
miles from his starting place, in twenty
two days. He visited at his former
home, Oil City, Pa. for a month, then
toured through the Adirondacks into
Canada and through all the New Eng
land States to New York.
In spite of the fact that the Overland
carried 1,5o0 pounds of weight in pas
sengers and camping equipment, there
was not a serious breakage all during the
journey, the only accident being the
fracture of one leaf of a rear spring,
when the car plunged into a washout in
the Western desert. The two front
tires which DR.. Denning began the trip
with were still on the car when Broad
way was reached, and to all appearances
are good for several thousand miles
more of cross-country travel.

A Story Writer Wnsted.

From the San Francisco Evening Post
We pause a moment in respectful ad-
miration of one Russian physician who
has announced to the world the dis
covery of a way to suspend life for six
months at a stretch. We admire, but our
admiration is tinged with regret that he
is a physician instead of an author. A
man with the genius to make such
claim would WELD a refreshing pen.
After Doc Cook and Doc Friedman
and few other Docs here and there who
drew cards. but couldn't fill We will not
waste much time on this Russian Doc.
He is rushing the game. Had he waited
a space, he would have been met in
New York Harbor by a committee of
best citizens. and made an honorary
member of the best sellers lodge,-bVt
just at this time the Friedman wounds
are still unhealed.

We add to our tire cost $500 daily to thus

Loose Tread Tax
Tread separation usually occurs close to
the breaker strip-an essential fabric used at
the base of the tread in all standard tires.
We use patented fabric, woven with hum
dreds of quarter-inch holes. The tread rub
Der, in its plastic state, is forced down
through these holes. Then the tire is vulcan
lied en- masse.
Thus hundreds of large rubber rivets are
formed to prevent tread separation.
We paid $4,000 for rights to this method,
and no other maker employs it.

The rim-cutting tax is enormous.
Careful statistics, made by public account

We wipe out all that tax.
The Washington herald., 1913-09-21

The cost of tire upkeep lies mainly in these
three shortcomings:
Rim-Cutting- Blow -0uts-Loose Treads.
We spend fortunes each year-spent by no
other maker-to minimize these costs.
We save tire users in these ways many mil

account, outseIl any other.

of beauty and pretty clothes, a.
though beauty will be no drawback
to the babylon pretty baby is US
ually healthy baby. Pretty clothes,
however, will not count because the
