CHAINS, IF LOOSE,
DON'T HURT TIRES
Skidding, One Of Most Prolific OF
Causes Of Accidents. Is Pre-
Vented by Their Use.
BY F. w. MULLER.

Few automobile men will deny that
if motorists were more careful in the
matter of using chains the number
of accidents that occur each year
would be materially reduced. Skid
ding is one of the most prolific causes
of disaster. and when this danger can
be offset. as IL can be through the
use of tire chains, there is no ex-
cuse for neglect in this direction on
the part of chauffeur or owner.
Too great reliance has been placed
upon the objection Of inexperienced
motorists that chains do damage 10
tires; they do when the chains are
not properly placed. but otherwise
there is no possible objection to their
being employed upon all occasions
when the going is slippery and IN
certain.
When chain is too tight the links
naturally imbed themselves in the
shoe and eventually do harm, but
when the chain is attached loosely so
that as the wheel turns the chain
works around the tire freely the rub
ber is not injured Prof. Hutton. of
the technical department. OF the Auto
mobile Club of America. whose prov
ince II is to study all such matters.
says that the only material damage
which comes to tires from chains is
when they are improperly applied,
and he holds that as a means of safe
ty they are essential.
After a light rain in the CITY," he
says. the asphalt pavement becomes
slippery, and full control Of a motor car
is brought about only through the use
of tire chains"
In the case of women learning to
drive. chains are regarded by in
structors as essential. even where there
is the least amount of moisture on the
road, and some instructors, indeed en-
play them at all times when their pupils
are women. claiming that they steady
the car. thus adding an element which
gives the woman driver courage AMI
confidence at the outset. The accident
attending the recent trip of woman's
suffrage advocates. when a car slid
into the ditch. was brought about abso-
lutely because the car involved was be-
ing driven along the slippery road with
out tire chains.
Chains are easily adjusted to tires.
and. as pointed out above, NAV be so
placed as to do no damage to the shoe

Frequently the five-rallon cans that
are used by some garages to convey
gasolene to cars at tn" curb are great
offenders in carrying dirt into the
tank. They usually are kept in some
corner, where they accumulate dust to

IN EUROPEAN WAR
President of WHY'S Overland

By HARRY WARD.

John y. WHY'S. president OF the WHY'S
Overland Company. brings hack 3n in
teresting recount Of happenings in
Europe when the wor broke oIr.
With Mrs WHY'S and their young
ufacturer was starting an automobile
tour on the continent when the impend-
ing trouble forced them to abandon
their plans and take refuge in Eng
land. Their escape from the seat of
trouble was accomplished only after
baggage and their new Overland auto
mobile. The car was seized by French
soldiers.
''All of the nations involved In the
war are using automobiles for trans
porting their troops. supplies. and am
munition." said Mr.. WHY'S. For years
France and Germany have been subsi-
dizing the majority of motor trucks
built in their own factories. and Eng
land was known to have large num-
Der of army motor cars. but in spite
of these elaborate precautions, the big
armies in the field today are In need
Of additional motor equipment
Eager To Obtain Cars.
"All of the war departments are
eager to obtain as many automobiles
as possible for the use of their troops.
While was in London our branch
there sold and delivered in one day
twenty-five Overland touring cars to
the English war department for use in
patrolling and defending the coast. I'm

When we arrived in Dieppe we found
the town entirely deserted save for
women and children and a few old mon
unable to bear arms. All business had
been suspended. The proprietor of tho
hotel at which We stopped. with his
entire corps of chefs and walters. had
responded to the calls to arms.

obtained accommodations on the boat
which took us to England. Just as we
were going to take our automobile,

French military authorities, who COM

Can Trace Trouble.

Excessive carbonization in one cylin-
der generally can be traced to a bad
set of piston rings, which allow too
much oil to pass into the combustion
chamber. The installation Of new rings
is necessary in such cases to remedy
the trouble.

Tourists Should Carry
Supply of Tire Valves

Among the necessaries when touring
should be a supply Of tire valves and
caps. a slight leak in a valve will
cause as much delay as a blowout A
good valve Is often hard to obtain when
on the road. and considerable annoy
ance can be avoided by carrying these
accessories. A valve tap and die should
also be added.
