Some Suggestions on
Way 10 Cut Tire Costs

T. ]. Hufaker Of Powell Supply
company, local distributors of Lee
tires, has prepared a list OF spring
suggestions for tire users. Some OF
them follow:
Before you finish tuning up your
car for the coming season take your
castings off and examine the rims. If
they are rusty don't fail to scrape
and paint them.
And don't put the castings back
until you have made sure that the
rims are absolutely true and free
from dents. Sprinkle soapstone into
the castings before replacing the
tubes.
II the rear tires are worn get a
new pair for the rear and let the old
castings spend their declining days
on the front wheels where the service
is easier. You will be money-ip-
pocket by so doing.
Test the alignment of your axles.
The easiest way is to measure be-
tween the felloes Of the wheel or the
edges Of the rims at the point directly
in front of the axle. If this measure
ment differs from the same measure
mcnt taken on the opposite side OF
the wheels it shows the axles are
out of alignment. Correct this de-
feet Immediately or expect big tire
bills.
Buy a good pressure gauge and
register a solemn vow to use it fire.

season.

Road News from the
Omaha Auto Club

The county engineer Of Mills coun-
ty, Iowa, writes that two of the worst
hills on the Omaha Glenwood route,
Pony creek and Green, will be cut
down to a 6 per cent grade or less.
These two hills are well known to
motorists of Omaha who have made
the Glenwood trip.
County Engineer Fishel, Crawford
county, Iowa, writes: I'VE have con-
tracted for moving 100000 cubic yards
of, earth in road work this year, the
mileage being forty. This will in
ciude the relocation of the Lincoln
highway between Dow City and Dun
lap. The change will eliminate cross
ing the Northwestern and Illinois
Central railroad tracks twice, shorten
the route half a mile and reduce
grades to / per cent. A feature of
our 1917 work will be the patrol sys-
TEN, road men covering section of
the main roads and repairing holes as
fast as they appear"
The county engineer OF Saunders
county, Nebraska, states: I'VE will
have three caterpillar tractor outfits
on the roads this year and OUR high
ways will be kept in good shape. We
have |, 400 miles of roads, and 500 Of
them regularly dragged"
The county engineer of Harrison
county, Iowa: I'VE have 500 miles
of dragged roads. Our 1917 work
will consist in keeping the highways
in good shape and widening some of
our bridges"
County engineer of Shelby county,
Iowa: Our big job last year was
removing 6,55o cubic yards OF earth
from Schwab hill, one and one-half
miles east OF Harlan, and 12,438 yards
from Pickard hill, FIVE miles north of
Harlan. This has made a good road
north to Carroll and Denison, with
maximum grade of 8 per cent, reduced
from 26 per cent. We have $50 miles
Of road and 100 dragged"
The Omaha Automobile club is ad-
vised there is a bad mudhole on the
OLD highway just out of Gretna,
Tourists and local motorists should
inquire at Gretna garages for direc-
tons of detour. I
The Omaha-Kansas City route is
reported in fair shape, with excep-
ton Of bad spots between Leaven-

DETROIT GUN CARS
CONQUER DESERT
studebaker Makes Twenty
Five Miles an Hour Over the
Worst Roads in Texas.
CARRY ARMY EQUIPMENT

On the international boundary
line that marks the division between
this country and Mexico, where the
United States government schooled
the National Guard in the intricacies OF
modern warfare, the motor vehicle is
playing a most important role. Hun.
dreds of cars OF various makes and
description-driven by khski-elad
citizen-soldiers--may be seen in the
vicinity of the various military camps
in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and
lower California.
The cars are being tried and tested
under every conceivable condition
with a view to determining which OF
the many are more fitted to meet the
needs and requirements Of the gov
eminent.
Good Speed Average.
An average speed Of twenty-five
miles an hour was maintained by
the new Studebaker machine gun
cars in their initial drive few days
ago over the $50 miles Of country
between FL Paso and Deming. N. M,
the first of a series OF tests that will
surely revolutionize this branch OF
the service.
The first lap Of the trip from Fl
Paso to Mesilla Park, N. NJ, was
over fairly good roads-but from
that point to Deming seventy miles
of desert "sea" was encountered. De-
spite this handicap and the fact that
upward slope places Deming 5000
feet above the sea level, the heavy
motors plowed steadily on over the
ruts and cactus to the summit OF
Maybe Flats, now in deep arroyos
with sand half way to wheel hubs and
again on the wind-swept submits on
TO Deming. The rigors Of noun
tain snowstorm raging throughout
most OF the day had little or no ef-
feet upon either men or cars.
Each car contained two machine guns
and their equipment, 10000 rounds Of
ammunition, tools, water, gas and oil,
field rations and seven passengers be.

SteWart-Warner to Build
Two More Accessories

II was learned this week that the
Stewart-Warner Speedometer cor
poration OF Chicago is about to add
two more products to Its line OF mo-
tor car equipment. These new Stew
art products will be known as the
Stewart V-Ray Searchlight and Stew
art Autoguard.
As the names indicate, the products
are a new type Of searchlight (com-
monty known as "spotlight"), and an
original design Of auto guard or
sbumper," as the latter is generally
termed.
The officials Of the Stewart-W Warner
concern are not at this time ready to
make public ali the details concerning
its forthcoming additional accessories,
but it is understood that they differ
in many radical respects from the
ordinary type Of Spotlight" and
"bumper." Just what their distinct
advantages are will be officially an
