Nygaard Says Look Over
Your Tires Frequently

ITO skim along a smooth country
road; nice day; car full of garden
truck, thoughts OF how your car
is speeding up war work-that's the
JOY of motoring" said Henry N.Y.
gard, proprietor of the Omaha Tire
Repair company. Then 'blam' goes
your tire-that's what takes the JOY
out of motoring.
ITO change a tire in the boiling
sun II miles from nowhere-thoughts
and voice 'strafing' motor cars in
general, and tires and tire makers in
particular, Is far from a motorists
paradise, and yet Il Is easy to avoid
ever passing through this motorist
nightmare.
"A wise man has his motor inspect
ed periodically and consequently has
no knocking in his cylinder. the en-
gine 'purrs' faithfully on every trip.
Likewise, wise motorist should
have his tires examined regularly,
thus avoiding the price of careless
ness.
Tire inspection consists of more
than simply looking over the castings
and giving it few pounds Of air.
The tire should be taken off the rim
and the fabric gone over carefully.
This, OF course, isn't practical ex-
cepting under periods Of long serv-
ice. Trouble usually hides under the
rim. Blowouts do not result from the
cuts in the tread that are visible to
the eye. Invaribly they come from
fabric injuries that lie concealed un-
iii the blowouts on the road.
"The price OF new tire or ex-
pensive vulcanizing can often be
saved by filling in little cuts and
bruises"

Petitions Are Out

Single Tax on Autos-There are
now being circulated. by business
men of Omaha, petitions for Douglas

ment of the constitution OF the, state
of Nebraska which will provide a
single tax on automobiles, the entire
fund to be spent on roads and road

taxed for registration license and also
for personal property. The single
tax will be in lieu of all and the
money derived will help biuld for

Removing Studs

The car owner is frequently con-
fronted with the job of removing a
stud bolt that is so inaccessibly To-
Gated that it is impossible to get at it
with an ordinary wrench. In these cir
cumstances file slight trench on
each of two sides of the studs head,
just deep enough for an ordinary open
end wrepch to grasp the head snugly.
Then turn this wrench. which pro-

Sticking Valve Caps

Valve caps have a way of sticking
in place so as to defy all ordinary ef-
forts to dislodge them. When this
happens it is a good plan to cut out
a section of the rim with cold chisel
and then drill series of three-six-
teenth inch holes from this cut out
section of the rim up to the threads.
Enlarge this series of drill holes into
a slot with the chisel and then give
the rim smart tap with steel bar or
other convenient piece of stock. This
will bend the cap or crack it, so that
it can easily be unscrewed.

Saving the Bolt Thread

In drilling hole through bolt, so
as to make it possible to use eotter
pin, il frequently happens that the
threads are injured so that II is diff
cult to put the nut on. This may be
obviated by first running the nut well
up on the bolt and then drilling the
hole for the cotter pin. After the hole
is made back the nut off and in pass
ing over the place operated on the
nut will restore the thread. This ap-
plies also to saving or cutting off q
bolt. which is likely similarly to in
lure the threads,
