For those Washington car owners

MOTOR TIRE PUMP FOR
AUTO OWNERS URGED
Manufacturers Declare Most Tube
Troubles Arise from Under In
hation with Hand Pumps.

Several of the leading automobile tire
manufacturers were asked recently to
give the most common causes for tire
failure and depreciation. without an ex-
ception, they replied that one Of the prin-
Cipal sources of tire trouble is under-in-
flation. With the old hand pump, it is
said that the average tire is inflated to
only about 70 per cent of what it should
be, due to the energy required and ex-
haustive labor necessitated by the pump
ing up process.
The only relief in sight for the auto
mobile owner who not only wishes to
save wear and tear on his tires, but
wishes to avoid the exasperating hand
pump, is the motor driven pump, in the
opinion Of the B. F. Zimmerman repre-
sentative OF the Stewart Warner Speed
ometer corporation. of Chicago, manu-
facturers of the Stewart tire pump.
The Stewart tire pump is the big
gest little money saver in the automobile
accessory market" said he. Besides its
economical advantages it is the greatest
labor saving device connected with the
driving of a car. When our motor driven
pump is used, there IS no excuse for un-
der-nration of tires.
IF your tube requires 1889 cubic inches
Of air to initiate it to the proper degree
and that is the average amount, you can
be sure that it is pumped to just that
degree without eXpending any physical
energy or hard work on your own part.

Storage Battery Trouble

Doctors and others who have occa-
sion to make frequent stops and starts
of the motor develop often what appears
to be defect in the electrical system.
The proba bility is, when the car used
under such circumstances fails to start
with the starter, that the battery cur
rent has rapidly been used up while no
fresh supply has been generated. Look
first TO your storage battery under such

Motor Gossip
BY "si" GroEar,

Despite the fact that the price OF
gasoline Is almost double now what
it was year ago this time. there
seems to be but very few machines
laid up on this account. People have
found that the motor car is a great
time saver as well as a source Of en-
Joyment and as the American public
is in the habit of getting what they
want no matter what the cost the
price of gasoline is not going to make
much difference to the users of cars
Where the gasoline consumption will
be cut down is in the long tours. In
seasons past many owners have been
in the habit OF leaving home Friday
night or Saturday noon and making
the run to Atlantic City or some
other point equally distant for the
Sunday outing. 1t is very probable
that a large number OF this class will
this summer make their weekend
journeys shorter. thereby cutting down
the operating expenses of their cars to
some extent.

No longer does the prospective Gus
toner ask how fast the car will trav-

just the amount of power that the
machine he has in mind possesses
American drivers are imbued with the
idea that all hills must be taken on
high. Once they have got under way
and the car into high speed they al
most refuse to shift gears. So far as
they are concerned the intermediate
gears might as we'll be eliminated.
This condition has made necessary the
gearing down of cars. Formerly the
average four-Cylinder motor was
geared about three and a half to
one. Today the average gear ratio on
high is almost FIVE to one. which
means that with the present high
speed type motors that are so much in
vogue that gear shifting under Ordi-
nary road conditions is unnecessary.
It is also a big help in getting through
congested traffic for the car can be
throttled down to almost nothing on
high and when a space large enough
to get through opens up the gas can
be shot to the motor and it will make
quick getaway through the opening
