readily forthcoming to effect a remedy.
AS first step in the campaign, Mr..
Elliott has been running two Chevrolet
one ton trucks on a regular schedule
between Sacramento and Reno, the two
most important points separated eac-l
winter by the SHOWS. Accurate cheek
has been kept on each load OF .mer-
chandlse carried. The purpose of tabu-
lating the data gained, according 70
Mr.. Elliott, will be to show merchants
just how much of saving has been
made in the use of motor trucks in
preference to railroad freight haulaee
1t will also be pointed out that the
number of passenger cars forced 20
abandon the route each winter runs
into the hundreds, with d consequent
increase in expenses for railroad fare
and loss of time for those concerned
Il have kept the two Chevrolet trucks
on busy schedule for some time,
said Mr. Elliott, land believe the rig
ures derived from their use will be
most valuable in acquaint.ng the puo-
lie with what could be gained by un-
interrupted travel over the Sierras
throughout the winter. Right up 10
the time snow fell the TWO machines
maintained their schedule without .
break OF any kind. but from now on Il
will be impossible for them to surmount
the annual obstacle, in spite of their
great power and endurance
I'VE have received many suggestions
as to the best way to make the over
Sierras route passable ali the year
round. The most feasible of these
seems to be a combination OF paveu
| roads, snow sheds and the use of trac-
tors and snow plows on the open sec
tons. portion of the route will I'M
doubtedly be picked out ror the pur-
pose of experimentation, and by the
end of the present winter we will ue
/ in a position to give cost estimate,

PLAN. To MAKE ROAD

Renewed agitation for. passable,

Nevada mountains in order to permit
uninterrupted travel between the
golden state and the east for motor
trucks and passenger cars is being
voiced by automobile dealers and users
in northern California. The first or

to seriously seek a remedy for the an
nual interruption.
Headed by ". I. Elliott, veteran
motor car distributor of Sacramento,
who is one of the best known men in
the trade in the west, a committee OF
citizens most interested in the project
is forming plans to launch a prelimi-

thought that after the California anc

ROTATION Of TIRES
RUBBER CONSERVING

Exhaustive tests by engineers in this
country and abroad prove that the
weight and other conditions being the
same, tires of any make on the front
wheels of a car wear approximately
twice as long as on the rear wheels.
This is not theory or guess work. The
statement is based on long continued
conclusive tests.
The more rapid wear on rear tires
is due to the driving strains, especially
when starting and hill climbing ana
when using the brakes in stopping.
The severe strains thus cause fric-
ton and heat; heat is one of the most
destructive elements that wage war
against the carcas or body of a pneu-
matte tire. Heat is generated more or
less in any tire and heat tends to break
down the tire structure
If the rear tires after being about
half worn out are removed from their
| necessarily high pressure service ana
are fitted on the front wheels, they
are then given a new lease of life be-
cause of the comparatively easy work
required of them on the front wheels.
The ,Michelin Universal an inter
changeable tire, is said to be well
suited for tire rotation. These tires
are handled at Western Auto Supply
agency, 141-47 North Central avenue.

W. A. S. writes: The starter of
my car makes a dreadful grinding
noise, when cracking the engine.
What causes this and how can it be
stopped?
Answer: We cannot tell without
further details, but presumably the
starter gears are the source of this
noise. 1t may be that the pinion on
the starter motor shaft has broken
or very badly battered teeth or there
may be teeth missing in the f1ywheel
gear. Perhaps the two gears do not
engage properly. On some cars,
these gears are not enclosed and
thus run unlubricated and often COW
cred with mud. This and the alb
sence Of any housing makes them
very noisy. If you cannot ascertain
what is wrong, by an examination.
YOU better have the outfit inspected
at the service station. New gears
NAV be the remedy.

CONGRATULATIONS
CALLED PERSHING

When the word came to the WHY'S
Overland company that peace had been
declared, the enthusiasm of the $4,000
workers knew no bounds.
They Immediately formed in line and
participated in an impromptu victory
celebration which will not soon be for
gotten. Before leaving the plant, how
ever, they sent cable to General
Pershing extending their congratula-
tions to himself, the allied commanders
and the victorious armies.
In tho midst of the thousands of de-
tails thrust upon our commander, the
Overland employees were delighted to
receive the following answer:
Army in France extends thanks for
congratulations. PERSHING."
The war record of the WHY'S Over
land company during the many bond
drives and in other campaigns for war
charities has been practically 100 per
cent, practically every man and woman
contributing generously in money and
answering every appeal to speed up the
production of the big plant.

NOISY REAR END.

Answer to A. c.: The usual cause
of noisy rear axle gears is their In
correct mesh. The pinion must en-
gage the large gear exactly right, or
noise and wear will ensue. Your
instruction book probably gives d.
rections for adjusting the mesh,
which is usually effected by sliding
the main gear very slightly in one
direction or the other. Looseness
of any OF the bearings concerned is
likely to make the drive noisy, and
lack Of effective fabrication is sure
to do so. Unless the gears are cor.
rectly cut noise Is almost inevitable.

Answer: yonr trouble probably is
that water. sQuirted in through the

ignition system so as to short circuit

the sparkling current. Most likely
the distributor is wetted or water
reaches the coil allowing the spark
to escape at the safety spark gap or
elsewhere. You should hang piece
of enamel cloth over the front of the
radiator, while washing is going on.
and it is very good plan to fit a
boot of the same material over the
distributor for permanent use. You
can readily make one and attach 1t
so as to waterproof this part with
out interfering with the wiring or
spark advance connections. Possibly
water has been getting into your
carburetor air intake through the

guarded against.
