DEMONSTRATES NEW
PUNCTURE REMEDY
Product Promises to Become
Very Popular with Motorists
of National Capital.

A new and highly recommended
product has Just come to Washington
which promises to have instant adop-
ton by local motorists. 1t is called
Kor-Ker puncture cure. and after hav-
ing seen It's merits demonstrated con-
clusively. the automobile editor Of The
Times. together with several members
Of the staff, feels that the days Of the
puncture specter are numbered.
Mr.. c. o. Fountain. local manager Of
Kor-Ker sales, took the party In his
car to the Vermont Garage, 1922 Ver-
mont court, the Washington headquar-
ters of the company. He removed a
front tire, took out the casing. and by
stretching the casing reopened about
fifty holes which were healed to the
point Of being alright. He then re-
placed the tube and shoe and after
whirling the wheel to distribute the
euro over the inside surface pumped
the tire to ffty-fve pounds pressure.
He then started the car and ran the
tire over board In which eight nails
had been hammered SO that the points
projected about two inches above the
no air.
The party then got into the car and
was driven back to the office OF The
Washington Times. In front OF which
gauge still showed ffty-fve pounds.
The product Is not gummy or sticky
and does not soil hands or clothing
and II there is ever to be solution
to the puncture problem kor-Ker
seems to be that solution. There are a.
number Of local motorists who have
used II for almost a year although the
first local sales office has but recently
been established) and these are highly
enthusiastic over its efficiency.
II will personally deposit the price Of
new tube" says Mr.. Fountain. with
any reputable Washington car owner
as positive guarantee OF kor-Ker's s
old tube. puncture it fifty times with a
ten-penny nail, install the tube with
Kor-Ker and pump 1t up. If at the
end Of a week the owner. has had a
nat tire caused by these holes ! will
gladly forfeit the price Of the tube

FORCE
FIGURES IN TIRE WEAR
Remarkable Discovery Made at
indianapolis and Chicago
Automobile Races.

There is a new factor In tire wear
centrifugal force. You need not start
worrying. Mr.. Car-owner. at the mad
dest rate OF speed the authorities or
your Judgment will permit your taking
your good car. this formidable sounding
force won't add a cent TO your cnr Up
keep. Over the big speedways. however.
II has demonstrated itself unmlstaka-
bly,.
It will be remembered that up to this
year such terrific speeds as have char
acterized the indianapolis and Chicago
classics have not been possible. Engines
would not allow It, and. above ALL tres
could not stand up under the strain.

new nonstop records have been SET. and
accidents have been cut down to pfac-

But with this new adjustment OF
things comes a new factor that IS beng

and that is-Acentrifugal force. THIS

Special Department Attends to
All Cases Brought In by Mod.
ern Ambulance Service.

The "hospital"-devoted to the work
Ct bringing sick and ailins automobiles
hack to health again-is an institution
at the Union Garage.
The car that IL only 'indisposed," or
the car that has had a losing argument
with a telegraph pole. Is quickly and
completely restored to its initial effi-
cheney. In the repair department Is
found every contrivance and machine
known to automobile repair and build
ing work. The machine and blacksmith
shops are one great series Of the new
est apparatus. The fender and radia =
tor repair shops have their quota Of
miracle" men. just as every other
branch Of this great organization has
its specialists.
There is a 13o-foot trolley conveyer
for lifting and moving the heaviest Of
trucks. and the machine shop includes
shapers. milling machines. gear cutting
machines. and lathes Of the latest mod
els and patterns.
G. w. Hoover has added a remarkable
innovation to this department In the
wreck wagon. With this car any
wreck, no matter how severe the acci

Even though a car may have broker

HEAVY TAXES PAID
BY MOTOR OWNERS
Codification Of Present Automo.
bile Laws lust Completed to
Be Distributed.

While the automobile trade has been
steadily progressing in the direction OF
cutting down the cost Of cars and their
maintenance. the thoughts OF the law
makers on motor cars have not been SO
happily directed.
The touring bureau Of the American n
Automobile Association has just COM
pleted a codification of the present auto
mobile laws. This codifcation will soon
be ready for distribution and a copy
may be had by sending to the national
headquarters Of the association. either
at Washington or New York.
A casual study will demonstrate that
automobiles are essentially subjects for
class legislation in most OF the states.
Not only are they taxed as users or the
highways, but. with some exceptions.
they are also taxed as personal prop
erty. There are also States which have
q third means OF making the motor car
owner pay. In these. the owner 10 COM
relled to take out a permit TO use his
own property for personal pleasure.
Tie notable exceptions wherein the
paying Of one tax definitely bars all
other forms are In the State OF New
York. Idaho. Iowa. and Oklahoma.
These commonwealths specifically pro-
vide that registration Is In lieu of all
other taxes. To this list should be add
ed Pennsylvania and Vermont. wherein
there are no added taxes. though not
80 specifically provided for In the les1s-
lattve acts.
Those States where the owner 10 re-
Quired to pay a third tax are Connect
cut, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Mary.
lnnd. Massachusetts,. New Jersey. and
the District OF Columbia. In Vermont,
while escaping the property tax. the
owner pays for a driving license.
Considerable more sanity has been
written into the laws regulating the
speed both In municipalities and on the
open road This section shows that al
most unanimously 1t is now realized thai
reasonable and prudent" are. after all
the same viewpoints Of operation.
Reasoning expression OF how automo.
the hope that the speed regulations will
sooner or later bring about an equally
unanimous set if miles-per-hour rulei
for definite conditions. until such tirhe
as law like Louisiana's obtains every
where. As now listed. these are just
enough varied In the mileage rate
though rather alike In their objectives
to create confusion on the part of the
interstate tourists.
Louisiana recognizes that miles-per-
hour restrictions do not guarantee q
sane use of the highway by all Its users
and particularly those. possessing We.
direct responsibility on all concerned
and should result in rates OF speed
harmonizing with existing traffic condi.
