PUT OLD TIRES
ON rear WHEELS

Do motorists realize the danger Of
using worn and weakened tires IN the
front wheels OF their macLinese This
question was recently asked and
pretty well answered by Claus
Spreekels, secretary OF the Savage
Tire Company of San Diego.
MF. Spreckels has made q careful
study Of tire construction since his
Iccnneetion with the Savage Tire Com
lPaBy. He has also had years cf ex-
perience as driver and user Of auto
mobiles, SO his opinion should have
considerable weight.
The common practise Is, 10 place
new tires on the rear wheels, then
after they have gone a few thousand
miles and begin to show signs OF
wear, to move them to the front
wheels. Almost without exception
the newest and strongest tires are
found on the rear wheels of ma
chimes.
Any motorist knows the danger Of
a blowout on the front wheel Of a
car. Very little trouble is caused by
a blowout on rear wheel and there
Is practically no danger at all from
such an occurrence. Many cars have
gone over embankments and the lives
of many motorists and pedestrians
have been jeopardized by the blowing
out of tires on the front wheels Of
cars.
If the car Is being driven at any
speed when such an accident occurs,
the chances are that the driver viii
lose control of It and serious and
frequently fatal accidents follow.
Mr.. Spreckels went on to say that
it is well understood that motorists
can obtain little more mileage by
putting weakened tires on the front
wheels of their cars. but that they are
paying dearly for this mileage, when
they consider that they are flirting
with serious danger by following such
a practise.
His advice is to use the tires first
on the front wheels until they show.
signs of wear, then transfer them to
the rear wheels and have them finish
their lives there, where II they blow
out. no serious trouble win be caused.

The wheel bearings should be
creased every month or so. for. al
though they may run for o year with
out complaining. their life wfll be con-
siderably shortened. Il II better and
more satisfactory to use plenty Of
grease on all these parts. The fact
that the steering gear uses very little
grease does not mean that Il should
be neglected. and the grease cup that
Is located on the housing should be
frequently filled and screwed down.
Magnetic end starting and lighting
generator bearings are invariably of
the ball type and require very little
fabrication. With the former Il Is suf-
ficient to use two or three drops Of
light oil. while the latter may require
grease or OIL The fact that the oil

find Is no reason for. neglect. and worn

To run the motor with a lack of oil
or with cooling system cut out OF
commission is absolutely suicidal, and
the effect In both cases is usually the
same-scored pistons and cylinders.
II Is not safe to operate the car with

boiling point Is reached the cause Of

case, should be run, nor should Il be
when the water Is very low down In
the radiator. This is Objectionable IN
pump systems, because lesser guam
tity Of water makes It impossible to
keep the motor cool. and In the
thermo-syphon system there Is the
added objection that the circulation
practically stops as soon as the water
drops below the upper connection to
the radiator.
Lack Of oil, and cooling difficulties.
are usually indicated by knocks or
missing. and at the same time an APP
preciable loss Of power. These danger
signals must not be overlooked: in
fact, knock OF any sort is usually
serious and thorough investigation
of the car should be made before an
attempt Is made to proceed.
Only the hest lubricants should be
purchased, and unless you are a spec
ialist on oil and greases IL Is best TO
go to the man from whom you pui-
chased your car or to some repair man
whom you know Is capable Of giving
you . competent opinion Of what lubri-
.cants to use. Not all garage or re-
pair men are qualified to do this.

DEATH OF FORMER
.SILyfRSTATEEDITOR

Allan Charles Bragg, pioneer of the
territorial days of Nevada; a man who
had a prominent place in the history
of the territory and state, died yester-
day afternoon at his home, 952 West
Sixth street, says the Journal. The end
was peaceful and painless. 1t followed
an apoplectic stroke.
Allan Bragg was born in Dover,
| Maine, in the year 1S4s. He came from
long line of American ancestors noted
in the revolutionary war. One of his
relatives was Nathaniel Hale, one of
the heroes of his period.
In 1864 Mr.. Bragg Sr. moved the
family, consisting of four daughters
and the son, to Carson City, where they
lived until the Central Pacific railroad
was built. Here Mr.. Bragg Sr engaged
/ in the lumber business with L. d. Fol
som. The building of the Central Pa
cifc railroad caused the Bragg family
to move to Reno in 1876. In Reno and
vicinity, father and son engaged in the
sawmill and lumber business along the
Truekee river
As a young man Mr.. Bragg began to
take an active part in the affairs of
public life, and throughout his career
he occupied several positions for both
territory and state, as at all times he
had the interests of Nevada at heart.
One of his lrst positions of trust was
that of chief clerk to Warden Batter
man of the Carson state penitentiary.
Resigning that position and forsaking
the calling of his father, Mr.. Bragg ac-
cepted the position of business manager
Of Reno newspaper in the early SOS.
For the next Is years Mr.. Bragg con
tinued at the head of the Reno paper.
In 1903 he, with G. A. Norcross took
over the Winnemucea Silver State.
From the Silver State he went to the
White Pine News. At Ely, while with
the White Pine News, he was elected
and reelected police judge several
| Tins.
| About five years ago he came to Reno,
where he resided up to the time of his
death During his entire career he was
active in politics and was a staunch
supporter Of the Republican party.
At one time he was a candidate for
surveyor general on the Republican
ticket, and was sergeant-atarm of the
senate during the last legislature. He
was a presidential elector for Taft and
received the largest vote in the state.
His knowledg of conditions in the
state and wonderful source of reminis-
cences made him valuable newspaper
man. He was Of a jovial disposition and
made friends everywhere. Bragg's ac-
tivities in fraternal circles were con-
fined to the Masonic, Knights of
Pythias and uniform rank.
Mr.. Bragg is survived by a widow
and son, Fred Allan Bragg Mr.. Bragg
Jr. was recently married to Miss Ivy
Hopkins. A step-daughter, Mrs. Gladys
Rowe, also mourns his passing.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made. The body is at the Per
kinsGulling company.

WINNEMU((A FIRST IN
STATE TENNIS TOURNAMENT

The Winnemueea squad of athletes
who attended the state meet at Reno,
reached home on No. 20 early Monday
morning, tired to the last degree but
satisfied with the results and happy.
Only one or two have missed any
school as a result of it and no unfavor-
able results are now to be noticed, for
school is already working smoothly in
the old grooves.
For the first time in years we got
into the winnings in defamation, when
Avery Davenport won second honors
and a silver medal. OF this we are in
deed very proud for defamation is a
very legitimate school activity Of a
strictly educational type This should
prove a strong encouragement for an
other year.
Our athlete team was small and the
boys inexperienced, and on that account
we could not expect to score often Al
bert Lowry easily took second place in
the broad jump and was a close con
tender in the high jump. Another year,
with careful training, we should make
a still more ereditable showing.
In tennis it was Winnemucea against
the field. There were six strong teams
contending and they all realized that if
we won the cup this time it would be
ours for all time. On that account the
opposing teams fought gamely every
inch of the way Las Vegas and Au-
burn were our closest rivals, and at the
close of the preliminaries on Friday the
score stood:
Winnemucca, Is games won.
Les Vegas, 13 games won.
Auburn, II games won.
That left it to Las Vegas and Win
nemueea to contend in the Saturday
finals Las Vegas started strong, and
at one time the score was to 3, but
the Winnemucca girls settled down
from then on and won the set, 6 to 3
Then by brilliant playing they took the
next set, 6 to1. ..audsthe meet was over
Won by Winnemucca again, and the cuT
is now the permanent property of the
local High school.
