TIRES AND BAD ROADS.

A Wisconsin man says that the tires
on his car are old, and while he
can expect at least a thousand more
miles of ultimate service from each
of them, they are likely to blow out at
most any time. He asks whether he
had better use his old tires as long as
they will last or equip the machine
with new ones. The roads are rough
and in spring are very hard on tires.
From the standpoint Of comfort and
freedom from tire trouble, the wisest
course would be to get new tires,
preferably oversize tires. But IL
economy Is a factor in the decision. it
would be better to use the old tires,
repairing them when necessary. BY
using reliners at about 81 each inside
the castings to strengthen them, he
would perhaps double the service still
left in the old tires and use the relin-
ers later on In the other weak tires.
For severe road conditions oversize
tires give much better service, and are
usually the most economical to buy.
They have greater carrying capacity,
greater elasticity and, being larger
than standard tire equipment, ride
better over soft places and through
gravel and sand.

STATE ROAD CREDITS

Will Total $1,613, 800.

st. Paul, Mimi, March 1O.-Credits
to the state road and bridge fund for
1917 will total $1,613, 800, according to
the official estimate furnished by
State Auditor Preus to the state high

apportionments. The amount is based
on the following items: One mill
tax levy, $1,550,000; motor vehicle
licenses. $50, 900; interest on internal
land improvements. $4,000; miscel-
laneous receipts, $500.
Mr., Preus added that the 1916 ap-
exceeds the available
by $23,170, a condition result
ing from apportionment by the COM

was estimated by the department, he

FACTS ON PUTTING
MACHINE IN SHAPE
One Experienced Driver Tells What 10
Necessary When Car Comes From
Storage.

When the auto energies from It's
winter quarters to begin its season Of
work, several things are important be-
fore activities begin. First, supply
new grease and oil over the entire APP
paratus. Open every oil hole COM
pletely so that the lubricant will flow
where needed and not be retarded or
obstructed on account of some trick
the cold weather has done in cumming
up the holes.
Few owners take out all the old
greases and oils in the fall, which Is
the best course but when neglected
this should be done In the spring.
Little particles of metal are constantly
dropping into the lubricant, caused by
friction Of the parts. and one seasons
accumulation of these is enough.
Tires should be pumped up to full
pressure. All tire valves must be
watched to see that they perform their
functions, and IL they fail, put new
ones in at once. Sometimes these little
valve rubbers, especially when allowed
to stand over period of two or three
months without use, will stick to their
seats by rust. Also the pump feathers
on the pump plungers are apt to be
dry and incapable of creating any
pressure in the barrels. Softening
these feathers with light oil some
times helps, but more often they
should be replaced with new ones. It
is no small matter to be caught upon
the road with a bad working pump
that fails when needed most.
Open the radiator drain cock and
pour water in the filler hole until the
DRAWINGS come from 1t clean and
clear. This will insure a good, unob-
structed circulation when the auto
goes into use. ...a.-... f.
Be sure the storage battery is in the
best condition possible before putting
it back into the car. Watch especial
ly for leaks or any internal troubles
like shorts" or broken plates or bad
separators. j
Some attention ought to be given to
the cars finish, such as the body and
bright parts. Treat these as the cir
cumstances demand. If the paint Ia
very old renew with fresh coats well
put on and allowed to dry thoroughly.
If 1t be new and still glossy, 1t needs
only q good wash with clean water
and afterward wiped dry with q damp
channels. Then wax 1t and polish

America show that the whole motor industry
endorses the Studebaker design-but dollar for
dollar of the price, does not equal it in VALUE.
This last month has brought to light facts
so unusual yet so convincing that no man who
is even thinking of buying a car can dare to
overlook them.
You have always thought that $1,000 car
was merely "a $1,000 carr You have read or
listened to the story of Studebaker's wonderful
increase in sales and manufacturing volume and
the economies they produce and passed it by
because so many others said the same things.
You have casually dismissed from mind the ire
mendous advantages given Studebaker by the
fact that it is the worlds largest maker of fine
cars. You have sought to measure Studebaker
QUALITY by Studebaker PRICE.
And now the National Shows and the entire
industry itself present series of facts that must
be as unexpected as they will be enlightening
in your effort to get the most for the price you
pay.
Including all new announced and exhibited at
the shows in New York. Chicago and San Francisco such
leading motor journals as ''Motor," "Motor World
and Automobile have completed thorough study Of
the 179 makes of the 1917 market Comparisons
