IMITATION IS
VITAL To TIRE
Proper Air Pressure Gives
Long Life to Automobile
Tires, Declares Dealer.

s. 2. Silversparre, of the Boss Rubber
company. distributors for Keuy-Spring-
field tires and tubes. makes a few in
terestinS comparisons between a motor
car engine and a tire. He points out
that no engine IS guaranteed to DO its
work satisfactorily without sufficient
fabrication and that no tire. however
well made, should be expected to give
its best service without being pumped
up to the proper point. lie contends
that proper tire initiation IS as ueces-
sary TO good service as IS proper mo-
tor fabrication
The weight OF the tire is Of course
the chief factor in determining the
tires proper Initiation The pressure
to which a tire should be inflated de-
DETECTION Of the tire under load: that
IS, the degree . which IL flatteus out
at its point OF contact with the ground.
This DETECTION varies directly as the
load IS carried and Universally as the
pressure within the tire; that IS. the
greater the load the greater the deflcc-
ton with the same pressure and the
greater the pressure the less the de-
Election with the same load.
The owner inevitably has to con-
tend with the question Of sufficient
air pressure TO give long life to the
tires on the one hand, and not too great
pressure to give easy riding on the
other hand, and mOtrists are prone TO
allow their tires TO run z little under
easier riding. but in doing this the
motorist is simply placing on the tires
the burdens the springs and shock alb
sorbers should bear.

MAKING ALCOHOL FROM SAWDUS7

cohol IS little more than one-half that
OF gasoline its greater efficiency-al-
cOhol IS percent; gasoline l6 percent
compensates for this. This higher eff
cheney of alcohol is due to various
causes, chief among which are the fol-
lowing
/. The volume of air requiredfor COM
plete combustion of alcohol is only
about one-third that required by gaso-
line, and thus much less energy goes
away in the exhaust Moreover, this
small dilutiOn with air enables n more
perfect mixture to be formed with con-
sequent more perfect combustion.
p The alcOhOl-air mixture can be
safely subjected to pressures of 200
pounds a square inch without spon-
taneous ignition, where as the safety
limit for gasoline is SO.
8. All mixtures Of alcohol and air
containing from four to 1876 percent OF
alcohol are explosive. whereas the ex-
plosive range for gasoline is from two
10 five percent neceSsitating much
more careful cabureter adjustment
4. The combustion products of al
cohol are smokeless. almost odorless
and do not clog up the cylinders and
valves.
The only serious difficulty encoun-
tered would be the starting OF the
engine in cold weather, and this coult
be provided for by carrying n small
auxiliary gasoline tank to be used in
starting.
