WATCH YOUR WHEELS
BIG POINT IN WELFARE OF
AUTOMOBILE.
With the Wheels True Much Wear on
the Tires Will Be Saved-Usins
the Tester.

whenever unusual tread wear Is
detected motorists should at once
make certain that the wheels are
true" declared an automobile dealer
recently.
The tester used is simple instru-
ment which registers accurately the
distance between the same relative
sections of the felloe band on opposite
wheels BY it's use the slightest varia-
ton is detected.
when the wheels of a car are not
parallel the tire must undergo a di-
agonal grind as it passes.oser the road
surface Sometimes an axle becomes
bent by severe blow-or the steer
ing apparatus gets out of adjustment.
Often demountable rims are not put on
straight. In any case the tread soon
grinds off and you have choice OF
three courses. You must run on the
fabric of the tire with it's susceptibility
to puncture and weakening by the
moisture that works its way into the
fabric, causing separation OF the plies,
or you must have the. old tire ret"aad-
Ell or replaced with new one. But
whatever course you select, the wheels
should Immediately be placed in
alignment.
BY close observation you can dis
tinguish many cars being driven with
wheels perceptibly out of true"

Automobile Census.

An automobile trade journal has
completed an automobile census OF
the country which shows that on Jam
uary 1. 1915, there were in operation
in this. country 2,423,7SS automobiles,
Illinois being second in the list with
1920. The automobile must be
classed as wellnigh universal when
in Iowa, for instance, there is one ma,
chine for every 16 people. When any
thing becomes so generally used as
the automobile now is, it steps from
the luxury class into the necessity
Some folks have objected that too
many people have bought automobiles
who could not afford them. There are
some, of course. But plenty of farm

two gables and is finished in stucco.
A small sun parlor is built off the liv-
ing room and is covered by separate
gable. The maximum width Of the
house is increased to 80 feet by the
five-foot extension on the side that
makes it possible to have large and
well-lighted dining room without much
additional cost. This extension Is COW
cred by another gable.
This dining room shows the advisa-
bility OF building a room in an extern
sion when 1t Is considered necessary
Or desirable to have more light. A
very CHEEKY and bright room can be
secured by having windows on three
sides, as is done in this instance. The
beamed ceiling fits in well with the
lighting arrangement.
A heavy front porch adds a distinc-
tive touch to nearly any house, and
especially if the house Is built along
bungalow lines. Heavy porch pillars
and low roof combine to give very
coy appearance, as can be seen in
this case. Flower boxes placed around

Is to build living room across tne
front of the house. In this particular
case, In which the house is 25 feet
wide, the living room is "a feet long.
It is made IL feet wide, which gives
the impression Of n very attractive and
coy room. Since the fireplace is In
one end, the room appears to be even
longer than 1t is. A room of this size
and shape is very easily decorated and
furnished in pleasing way. The
ceiling is beamed so that there will
be no lack of harmony between the
they are connected by cased open
ing. The idea of having plenty of win
dows, as shown in the dining room,
is also carried out in the living room.
The remainder of the rooms are also
arranged so as to furnish the maxi
mum amount of comfort and accessi-
bility. From the living room hall
extends back through the house,
from which every room can be
reached. Such an arrangement takes
up very little space and more than
makes up for this in the convenience
and privacy that are afforded. On one
side OF the hall are the dining room,
kitchen and serving pantry, and on the
other are two bedrooms and bath
room. The stairs to the basement are
placed at the end of the hall, where
they will be readily reached from the
kitchen.
The trouble of getting the meals and
serving is cut down largely by the
pantry, that is placed between the
dining room and the kitchen. This
can be equipped with shelves and cup
boards in any way that Is desired by
the home builder.
A large and roomy basement is pro-
vided in this design. Sufficient head
room is provided so that a heating
plant can be readily installed. This
is an important feature in any house
that is built in northern cline. The
basement has an outside entrance that
makes 1t more useful and saves the
kitchen from great deal of dirt that
would otherwise be carried through It,
The entire arrangement of this de-
sign shows a well-balanced plan, in
which all parts Of the house have re-

twenty-five or thirty years ago the
older men OF this strange colony came
from across the Pacific, some as sail
ors, some as stowaways.
They wandered in small groups
about California and some of them
came across the Sierras into Idaho
and Utah. They were starving when
a group of business men decided to
help them.
They secured $4,000 acres Of land
in the Skull valley, collected all the
South Sea natives that they could find
and established them in a colony
which they called Ioseppa.
An American farmer was selected
as superintendent. Each man was
paid good wages at the start, and as
soon as they were capable they were
allowed to buy half-acre lots and cot
tages at actual cost.
Now there is q new generation
growing up. Some of the boys have
gone from the grade school and taken
full courses at the State Agricultural
college. Several Of the girls have
become stenographers in Salt Lake
City. A number have graduated from
the University of Utah.

Then it's heaven to jog along!

When the roads are full OF mudholes, and

WELL TO REMEMBER
List of Trouble Savers That the
Autoist Might Paste in
His Hat.
MANY TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN
Careful or Careless Attention to De-
tails Makes All the Difference
Between Pleasure and Dis
comfort for the Own
ers of Cars.

Remember, above all things, to keep
the battery well supplied with water.
for they can't and won't work with
out it. If your radiator runs dry, you
hear from your engine at once, and
Enthusiastically. But il your battery
lacks water, it will still (for while)
stay on the job and suffer in silence
The plates and separators dry out,
and trying to do their work under this
handicap, heat and crumble.
We might paraphrase the hair tonic
ads:
Solution an inch below the plate
tops and battery still working-water
will save it.
Solution two inches below the plate
tops and battery still working-water
may save it.
Solution three inches below the
plate tops and battery still working
feebly-too late for water to save it.
Don't expect the battery to deliver
more current to the lamps and start
ing motor, the electric horn and igni-
ton system than you put into it by
the engine-it cant do 1t.
Most car owners seem to think that
the storage battery is modern edi-
ton OF the widows cruise. Night after
night the car will be left standing for
hours with all lamps burning. and
without the engine making a single
revolution.
To the battery this kind of opera
zion is case of everything going out
and nothing coming in" An enforced
hunger strike that no constitution
can long withstand.
Keep the battery clean and also
firmly fixed in place by means of the
hold-downs. Don't use a 12-inch
monkey-wrench backed by all your
physical development, or a hammer
and cold chisel, to set up the connec-
tions. These are prolific causes OF
cracked and leaky jars.
You would not continue tc drive on
q fiat tire, or with a punctured and
empty radiator, or with a leaky or
empty oiling system. IL you did, you
would expect to pay for it in good
sized repair bill.
Therefore, take the trouble to no
'tice when putting water into the cells
(and this should be done regularity
u any cell seems to need much more
water than the others. II it does, 1t
suggests leaky jar.
A leaky battery Jar, IL attended to
at once, can be replaced at small ex'
pense. If neglected, damage to the
battery will quickly and surely re.
suit that will necessitate extensive
and, therefore, costly repairs.
The hydrometer syringe is to the
storage battery what the fuel gauge
or measuring stick is to the gasoline
tank. Every user should have one
and use it regularly. A hydrometer
reading of the solution in each cell
can be taken in a moment just before
putting water into the cells and the
information so obtained Is valuable
check, not only on the condition OF
the battery, but also upon the op
Grating condition Of the entire cleo
trical system.

A Better Mixture.

When starting an engine better
mixture may be obtained by not OPEN
ing the throttle too wide. Two or
three turns with the spark off and q
single turn with the spark on will give
the best start. Spinning the motor
should never be done with the spark
on. The object of spinning" Is to
fill the combustion chambers with an
explosive mixture, and this can be
done with safety only when the spark
is OF. After the chambers are filled a
single pull upward will secure all the
results of the spinning and eliminate
danger from back-kicking.
