Saving the Lives OF
100000 Auto
lIreS

When motor cars were rare, tire
mileage costs made little difference.
But now, when men are buying cars
as they would suit Of clothes or a PAIR
of shoes-when our annual car bill is
more than q billion dollars, and for
tires about one-third Of a billion-tire
economy is q matter Of great concern
About 100000 cars are now regis
tered in this country, wearing l6,OOO,OOO
tires. Adding only one mile for each
tire TO the enormous mileage piled up
each day by these cars. would save
handsome fortune to the motorists OF
the country.
The Goodyear company, commenting
on the various kinds Of abuse lnno-
Gently inflicted upon motor tires, pre-
venting them from attaining their
allotted threescore and ten, declares
that much Of this mileage Is lost
through the fabric breaks caused by
hitting stones imbedded IN the road

motorist in n hundred appreciates the
terrific strain placed on tires when
travelling at high speed over ordinary
roads. Your tires may withstand p
shock equal TO ten tons weight whhc
running at speed of twenty-five miles
an hour over country roads, and ilttlo
later you have a blowout while running
over a perfectly smooth street. Some
thing has happened. What was 1t?
This is what happened. The terrific
impact of the tire and the stone i'm
bedded in the road did not visibly affect
the exterior of the tire. Had you
looked it over you could not have founi
mark. But on the inside of the trt
n break in the tire fabric was started
when the blow strained II beyond Ms
limit OF stretching strength. Perhap,
only one layer Of fabric was injured
The other layers soon followed suit anc
the blowout resulted.

Truths About the Motor Car

How to Fight Fire
In an Automobile

One of the country's best known men
in the insurance field said a few days
ago that premium rates on automobile
insurance would have TO be advanced II
the losses by fire and theft were not
sharply decreased, and he suggested
that motorists give more thought TO
the ways and means of extinguiShlng
fires on cars should that occur. The
following suggestions from the State
Fire Marshal Of Ohio, he said, would
prove extremely valuable in an eper-
gency:
1. The most important thing 70 re-
member in case of fire of this kind IS
70 keep cool A few seconds lost IN
panic at the start may result dlsas-
.rously.
.. A. least one small fire eXtinguisher
should be on every car. 1t should De
placed where it may be readily acces-
sible in an emergency. The small eX-
tineuisher is indispensable in handling
gasolcne fire, and is also useful IN
lighting any other kind of blaze about
the car.
3. In the absence Of an extinguisher,
sand or dirt can be used, but 1t should
be remembered that il sand Is thrown
into the carburetor mechanism meal
culable harm is likely to result.
4. Do not use water in attempting TO
extinguish n carburetor fire or other
gasolene fire. This merely tends to
spread the fire.
). If the engine backfres use the
starter 10 turn the motor. II this does
not draw the flames into the manifold,
use the extinguisher. This should put
out the fire with little difficulty.
6. II the fire has reached the drip
pan, extinguish that first, and then
work uD TO the carburetor.
:. If the fire is caused by ignition OF
gasoleno from hot exhaust, short circuit
or other condition about the car, the
cxtinguisher should also be used with
equally good effect.
s. Do not invite destruction OF your
car, and probably injury to yourself, by
lighting a match to see how much gas
there is in the tank.
II owners would exercise the same
supervision over their automobiles that
they do over other movable property
the theft losses could be cut down ma
terially. >
These arc matters of Importance, for
in the long run motorists will pay in
! higher premiums for all losses, and a
reasonable vigilance on the part or all
will mean money saved.

Bargains in Old Cars
For New Owners
That Popular Brand of Automobile Can Be Bought This
Fall at Figures Not Before Equalled-An
Kinds of Bodies Can Be Found

one will find that New York prices
average much above those in other
parts Of the country.
The other tip is that there are many
concerns here that make business OF
breaking up old cars and that from
them the buyer can usually replace
cheaply any part he may find defective
in his car. These concerns carry a
wonderful assortment of motors,
frames and accessories.
Automobile agents handle second
hand cars in three distinct ways. Two
concerns do not take them directly Cat
factory branches here at least, but
turn all traded cars over TO other cor
porations. Another class puts all cars
in good repair and gives some kind OF
a guarantee with them. These agents
aim TO make a profit from their traded
in cars-and do.
The third class is OF minor agents
who. to make sales, will give big trad
ing prices and then will sell the cars
at a little loss, which, of course,
amounts merely to a reduction in their
profits on the original sale. AS a
general rule these agents don't fix up
a car any too we'll and won't stand be-
nlnQ III AFTER IL Is SOAu. hS a NOubl ooS
take an agent for certain Knight
engined car. lie gives ninety-day
warranty with second hand cars of
that type, and thirty or sixty-day
warranty with used cars of the same
make that have poppet valve engines.
As ninety days is now the common
guarantee for new cars that mans
method is quite boost for that par
ticular Knight car.
Don't begrudge an agent profit on
a car. 1t is usually merely pay
ment you are making for his guarantee
and the service you will get from him.
If nothing ever happens you have had
for it satisfaction and ease of mind
and insurance against trouble.
Within a couple of years dealers in
Used Cars have developed a new
branch of the business. You can now
trade in a Used Car for another Used
Car. And in the present market you
will probably be getting bargain be-
sides.
