in handy in convincing the adjustor.
The motorist ought to know the ex-

has designed to give the front wheels
and he should olso know no wmuch

We can give no rule for either the
amount of Gambler or how much the

are built alike, but these facts can be
easily ascertained. Ordinarily the
front wheels toe in one-quarter, three

SIMPLICITY IN
THE MOTOR CAR
All Manufacturers Leaning
Toward a Simplified Me
chanical Construction.

THAT manufacturers are leaning to-
ward a simplified mechanical construc-
ton. and are building cars modelled
after clean cut designs. is a significant
fact" said an automobile manufactur-
er recently.
Not many years ago II seemed as
though the more complicated and in
tricate the mechanical construction of
a car was the more 1t impressed the
public that the extra value was there.
1t is a fact that many people refrained
from owning an automobile because
they thought 1t took g. thorough me-
chanic to run one and look after II
properly.
Nova days the aim is more rational
on the part of the makers. Everything
is being done in the designing of power
plants to make them campact and SIM
pie.
Some years ago 1t was a common
sight to see a motor car with a great
amount of accessories and equipment
not built in out OF sight but rather at
tached in such way that they made
up most of the outlines of the car
MCKEE and brass flashed everywhere
ana tnere were so many auueu en-
belishments that as we look at 1t now
motor cars looked something like the
first bicycles, used to with mudguards

Today all such equipment Is built
in, out of sight, and there remains the

AUTOMOBILE TIRES
AND THEIR UPKEEP

When it comes down to the matter of
tires and tire upkeep, motorists are
their own worst enemies, although I'M
intentionally SO; nor could they be con-
vinced of this statement even In the
face of convincing proof. All this
comes about in the mad rush Of the
world to get somewhere in as short a
time as possible. even If it Is known
that something must suffer.
Day after day motorist will neglect
to initiate his tires, although knowing
the pressure is lower than it should be
to carry the load Of the car and pas
sengers; he will Feel that the car
steers hard, yet will overlook an In
spection of steering knuckles to as
certain If they are true; a tire will show
wear on the tread, or a fiattening or
roughening. which would probably in
dictate something out of alignment, and
yet it will be passed-and then comes
the fight with the tire adjuster to be
credited with more mileage on the de-
stroyed casing than the motorist is en-
titled to. And again the average
motorist does not positively know
how many miles certain casing has
travelled. Notwithstanding the tire re-
cord books that are freely given away
by the tire companies.
In ninety nine out Of a hundred cases
rim cuts are the result of low air pres
SURG permitting the tire being cut be-
cause of contact with the rim; many
blowouts are the result Of low pres
sure, permitting the side wall fabric
to separate because of being worked;
other blowouts come from tread cuts
that permit dirt and moisture to enter
between the tread rubber and the
fabric and eventually to attack the
fabric itself; chatting of the tread gen
orally comes from misalignment Of the
wheels, a bent steering knuckle, too
much or too little Gambler, or some sim
liar cause which throws the wheels out
Of their correct running position.

AUTO EXPORTS IN
THE Year OF 1914
All Records Broken Accord
ing to Figures of Depart
ment of Commerce.

Exports of automobiles from the
United States in the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1914. were the largest on re-
cord. Their total. including shipments
to Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico,
amounted to $40,136,565, against $780,
$4,000 in 1918, the former high record
year. The years total included 30,1S6
complete cars valued at $27,797642;
automombile tires. s4,159,454; automo-
bile engines, 1891, 1913; and miscel-
laneous parts not specified, s6,7S7,575.
With the sole exception Of 1908, ev-
cry year during the past decade has
shown an advance in value of Ameri-
can automobiles sold to foreign coun-
tries. In the fiscal year 1904, accord
ing to the Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce, Department of Com
merce, the value of automobiles export
ed was $1,S95, COS; in 1909, $5,3S7,021
and in 1914, exclusive of parts and
shipments to our own noncontiguous
territories. $26,574,574, having quintup-
led in five years and increased thirteen
fold in a decade.
Europe bought nearly one-half OF
our entire sales Of automobiles to for
eign countries last year, although some
shipments thither are for reshipment
T. other parts OF the world. To the
United Kingdom the exports amounted
to 1929 cars valued at $5,S5S,127; to
Germany 1435 valued at $1,059,249; to
France 1929 valued at $724,1S0; and to
other countries of Europe 3271 valued
at S2,5SO,42S. Canada and Australia
are also important markets, the form
err having taken 1924 cars valued al
$5,919,776; and the latter, including
other British Oceania 4244 valued al
: $3,695,595 To South America as a
whole, we sold last year 1885 automo-
biles valued at s1,939.212; and to Mex
leo 1877 valued at $256,675.
The growth in exports of automobiles
has been accompanied by correspond
ing decline in imports of like articles
the total having fallen from 1924 val
ued at $2,9O5, S91 in 1909 to 300 cars
valued at $500, 49S in 1914, a new low
record for the decade. OF the years
imports 1874 were from France, AZ
from the United Kingdom, 55 from
italy and 81 from Germany.
