FEW TIRES GET
 FULL SERVICE
Careless Motorists Respon- sible for at Least Half Their Tire Expense by Overlooking Care of Gas in"s-SmIth EXDl;.inS

Jack Smith of the Congress Tire Agency yesterday discussed at length. the care of automobile tires. He said;
 one of the greatest unnecessary and useless wastes connected with the au- tomobile k in tires. Just about 90 Der cent of the possible wear is secured by the average user. The average tire is discarded before it has served one half it's possible life; mostly caused of course by broken fabrics rim cuts, and bIowouts Ninety per cent of the acci- dents and troubles are causes by rum ming the tire too soft.
 The old idea that a tire should be carried at low pressure in summer on account of heat expanding the air has, long been proven a mistaken one bSf the manufacturers. While it is true that many blowouts are caused by heat. the real cause is friction and not the weather The tire itself expands. as well as the air from the heat.
 "A little experiment with an empty easing will easily illustrate how easy 1t is to break the fabric by running over a stone or rough spot. If the tire is under-inflated, the fabric is contin- uaiIy bending and working and this to- gether with the friction caused by such bending produces excess heat, causing the layers Of fabric to become separ- ated. and thus weakening the tire. The result is q blowout and the running of the fabrics long before it is worn out.
 All tres are stamped on the side. to inflate to a certain number of pounds of air pressure. It is always better to inflate five to ten pounds less.
 'It every motor ear user were to give the same attention to the air in his tire that he does to the gasoline. and oil and if he spent a few minutes each day to see that all tires are up osched- ule pressure. there is no question but that tire expense would be reduced at least 4O per cent"
