AppLICATIoN or nRAKEs

1t is often that the motorist upon
inspecting his tires finds that one
rear tire is wearing very much
faster than the tire on the opposite
wheel. Very likely both tires were
put on at the same time and had the
same mileage. The right rear may
wear out a little faster than the tire
on the opposite wheel because of the
fact that while the motorist pulls
out to the side of the road in pass
ing other vehicles subjects this right
rear tire to the unimproved road.
But there is another reason, which is
usually tie cause for one of the rear
tires to wear faster than the other and
this is due directly to the brakes not
being equaliZed. BY this is meant that
one brake drum does not take hold in
exactly the same way and with as
much force as the brake drum on
the other wheel.
An occasional inspection of your
brakes should be made, in order to
reduce your tire cost per mile and
to make your brakes dependable.
For the inspection of the brakes,
jack up the rear end of the car so
that both tires are clear of the
ground, start your motor and throw
in the clutch, start both your rear
wheels spinning, now apply the
brakes act alike on the wheels. If
one wheel stops and the otker re-
wolves. you have located the cause,
for one tire wearing quicker than
the tire on the opposite wheel. as
the brakes that drag will cause ex-
cessive strain and shorten the mile
age life of any tire.
Inspection of the brakes should
be made at least every thousand
miles.

THE MAN BEHIND

The traffic problem has long since
passed beyond the ken of laymen and
become a proposition for experts. In
stances are not wanting where these
astute personages have been baffied
and it is hardly in the province of the
motorist preoccupied by a day-lone
business of his own to shoulder the
problem of improving present condi-
tions.
The great contributions the average
motorist can make, however. is the
consideration of the man behind. Af-
ter all he is the person largely re-
sponsible for the safe home coming OF
our car, and we owe him a chance to
protect our property. 1t is not toe
much that a mans courtesy should be
commensurate with his vehicle

MUD SHOULD NOT DRY
ON VARNISHED SURFACE

When your car enters the garage
splashed with mud and water take
time enough before locking the
garage door to go over the car with
TIE hose and remove the dirt before
it cakes on. Then, if you are care
full of the finish of your car, you will
''chamois" it and not allow the water
to dry on the surface. This is particu-
larly important if the car is to be
used on a cold day soon after wash
ing. Water when allowed to freeze
over the varnish, Injuries it, causing
cracks. and leaves the more delicate
color coat underneath partly unpro-
tected.

CARE OF TOP ON SNOW DAY

When your car comes into the
garage with the top covered with
snow, brush the top as best you can
by folding it back, and then allow II
when damp deteriorates rapidly and
is soon cracked and discolored. Never
clean the top with gasoline, for gaso-
line will ruin any rubber which is
present in the fabric or construction.
When the top needs a good bath let
it have it with CASTLE soap and scrub

loid windows: soap and water will

DRY BEARINGS

One source of insufficient iubrica4
tion of bearings is sometimes found
to be clogged grooves in the bushings.
Sediment will accumulate in the
grooves which are intended to carry
tie lubricating oil, and shut soff tho

often produce this effect.

TROUBLES OF sELF-sTARTERs

Electric cranking motors usually take

brushes fail to make good contact and
are the cause of inefflciency. When the

NO LONGER a ONE
SEASON VEHICLE

increase in popularity of the all-year
or all-season type of body has been
quite noticeable. The facility with
which this modern top may be COM
pletely opened is responsible for its use
by many during the past summer. AS
the cold weather approaches this type
of model is seen more and more on the
streets, and from present indications
seems likely to be the most popular

WHY Is A BLOWOUT.

When outside wear or inside break
in the fabric, due to bruises, produces a
comparatively weak place in a casing.
the inside pressure causes a bulge in the
location of the weak spot, and this
part is then exposed to more wear in
travel than the sound parts of the cas-
ing. OF course the blowout quickly
follows. Strong interliners prevent this
bulging. making a slight depression at
the worn spot in place of a bulge, and
thus preventing excessive wear on the
weak portion of the casing.

PARTS SHOULD BE CREASED
TO PREVENT RUSTING

Many owners still object to winter
driving because it is a little more in
convenient to get about, and these are
likely to store the car during the win
ter months. When storing the oil
compartments in motor, clutch, gear
set and rear axle should not be drain
ed. However, the fuel and water
compartments should be drained.
Such parts as joints in the steering
system. universals, rims. etc, should
be well creased to prevent rusttng.

The winter top is rapidly being per-

many are doing, as this has proved to
