DO THE RIMS CREEP ?
Careful Driver Will Examine
Wheels and Tires Once Each
Week.

The driver who is particular about MS
car should examine his rims and tires at
least once n week Few owners realize
that a rim with its tire can creep around
the wheel If the shoulders on the wheel
which hold the dcmountablc rim are the
least bit worn.
This occurred recently and was noticed
only because the valve stem came through
the wheel hole at an acute angle. This
was caused by the rim and tire creeping
around, thus tending to pull tho valve
stem out OF its place. If the valve stem Is
held firmly by means of cap, then the
strain falls on the lower portion of the
stem and the portion OF the inner tube
surrounding It, In the case mentioned
the pull was 50 great that the valve stem
was cut almost in two.
In tightening the rim lugs be sure that
YOU tighten in the correct order. Ii they
are frightened one after the other
in order around the rim, there is apt to be
too much space on one side and too little
on the other Tighten one lug, then the
one which is nearly opposite and so on
around.

INCREASING EFFICIENCY.

and MechaniCianS.

with the growing scarcity OF expert

motor truck owners have of late been
giving considerable study TO increasing

Motor Car Co This would SO equip
their drivers that they could in measure

up for the absence of other drivers
Again, truck owners have noticed that
unless their drivers are pleased with their
jobs, they have no trouble in finding
other berths. Especially is this true in
winter, when the main problem of the
truck driver is to keep his truck in opera
ton irrespective of weather conditions.
If he has the proper protection to make
him comfortable and keep him in good
physical condition, it becomes a matter
Of pride that he is able to maintain his
schedule irrespective OF the cold. storm
or other climatic elements that usually
