n SPITE Of the deep snow and intense
cold which prevail in Canada at this
time of the year, Miss Mabel P Will
cOckson has never ceased to enjoy
regular spins on her motorcycle through the
parks and bOulevards of Toronto.
Miss WilcOckson only learned to ride a
motorcycle last summer, but so enthusiastic
was she over the sport, that scarcely week
all summer and fall passed without her
taking a weekend trip into the country on
the two wheeler. Sometimes these trips
covered 40 or so miles, while ct other times
they only constituted a short run to some
nearby picnic grounds.
Miss WilcOcksOn also accompanied the
Wanderers Motorcycle club on many Of its
club runs during the summer.
And this enthusiastic Canadian rider is not
contented with enjoying the motorcycle
alone. She is an ardent booster for the
sport She has a sidecar attachment and
frequently takes her girl friends on long
rides. And many Of them have in this way
been converted to an appreciation OF the

HOW TO GET BEST
RESULTS FROM TIRES

Occasionally a testimonial letter writer
produces a contribution valuable to all car
users This was the case with DR.. Thomas
Hubbard, Of Toledo. Ohio. who in recent
letter to a tire and rubber company told
that his rear tire had given 10, 600 miles;
his front tires 1900 miles, and still going
He then gave his rules for the care Of tres.
1.-THE essentials Of conservatism Of tires
may in by experience be summarized as
follows writes DR.. Hubbard:
l. Uniform initiation depending on load
carried. Average, 60 to SIS pounds 'front.'
and 20 to rs rear for car POO to 24oO
pounds, properly tired.
2 Test tires every three days. Discard
an inner tube that leaks enough to lower
pressure Is pounds or more in less than
three days.
8. Drive car steady and true. Slowing
and sllidding are evidences Of bad driving.
just as much as allowing q horse to
stumble or fall is evidence Of Unskilful
horsemanship.
4 Dashing, brilliant driving-that is
quick Roadway and a hard brake stop, is
destructive to tires just as crack the
whip start and sudden stop ruins horses
tendOns and ankles.
5. Never twist a stationary tire on rough
surface. This refers particularly to turning
