LESS TIRES USED IN WINTER
Motorist Does Not Let Out Air During
Extremely Cold Weather and
They Last Longer.

The winter season seems to strength
en- the properly inflated tire.
determination is responsible for a
large percentage of tire expense. Most
motorists think that during the sum-
mer months they should ride their tires
at low pressure to prevent blow-outs.
The decreasing of the pressure does
not decrease the heating of the tire,
but, rather increases it, as the side
walls are subjected to greater bend
ing strain and friction between the lay
ers of fabric generates heat. Due to
this excessive flexing, the fabric cracks
and loosens up to such an extent that
the tire becomes weakened. The crack
ed and chafed fabric ruins the inner
tube. During the winter season the
motorist does not let the air out or his
tires, as he does in the summer, but
allows his tires to have greater and
more constant air pressure; hence, the
percentage of tires consigned to the
scrap heap is much less in winter than
in summer.

KEEPING AUTO ENGINE WARM
Electric Device, Which Consumes One
Tenth of kilowatt an Hour,
Solves Problem.

The problem of keeping an automo-
bile engine and radiator warm during
the coolest nights, without the neces-
sity of heating the entire garage. has
been solved by an electric engine and
radiator warmer, which is simply
screwed into any lamp socket in the
garage and placed down in the hood of
the car between engine and radiator.
The body of the heater contains q
rugged heating element which con-
sumes one-tenth of kilowatt-less
than one cent an hour-and gives off
just enough heat to keep the radiator
from freezing and the engine from
causing trouble. The hood of the car.
however, should be blanketed in se-
we're weather to hold in the heat. The
heating element is inclosed in black
enameled metal shell, of a shape and
size not unlike the ordinary dry cell.
and perforated to allow for circulation
of the heated air from within.

MOST ANNOYING
TROUBLES OF CAR
Constant Squeak Is One of First
Symptoms of Neglect.
MOST DIFFICULT TO LOCATE
If Noise Comes Only When Brake Is
Applied 1t Is Evidently in Brake
Bands-FauIt Also May Be
Found in Springs.

"One of the most annoying troubles
of an automobile is that constant
squeak that cannot be located" says
William III. Stewart, Jr., president of
a prominent automobile school. "It is
one Of the symptoms of neglect, and it
cries out to you every time the car
sways or strikes rough spot or turns
a corner or starts or stops or SEEM
ingly does anything else. AT every
move there is Cry of protest, which
is all the more maddening because you
only when you apply the brakes it is
evidently in the brake bands, but
other squeaks are not so readily To-
Gated.
May Be in Springs.
'The next likely place is in the
springs and spring shackle bolts. The
springs are habitually neglected and
the leaves should be creased at least
once a month. Jack up the frame to
take the weight of the car off the
springs. Spread the leaves apart, one
by one, prying them open with cold
chiSel or metal handled screwdriver
driven by medium-weight hammer.
This will chip off some of the paint,
but that is unavoidable. Then spread
graphite grease between the leaves by
means of a thin knife or a hack saw
blade. AS you cannot reach all the
way to the center where the clips hold
the springs firmly together, use cylin-
der oil mixed with little flake graph
lite. If springs are badly rusted they
should be removed and the rust filed
off-a dirty job and a tedious one.
They may then be properly creased be-
fore replacing.
"There is special tool on the mar
ket which may be used to spread the
spring leaves without lacking up the
frame. 1t works as a double wedge
and is very satisfactory.
Quick Method Suggested.
eff time presses use the following
method: Wipe dirt off springs with
waste and kerosene, using plenty of
kerosene and guiding it down the sides
so that it may run in between the
leaves. This it does readily, as it is
not repealed by the rust. Wipe off the
suxplus and then pour some medium
bodied cylinder oil over the springs,
guiding it down the sides in the same
manner. The oil alone would be re-
PEELED by the rust, but the kerosene
has an affinity for it, thins it and it
runs in fairly well. Stand on front
spring hangers and rock car or do the
same from each running board. This
action will help spread the oil and so
find the squeak if it is anywhere in the
springs.
"Next turn your attention to the
hood and mud guards. Raise each side
of the hood and see If the strips of
rawhide are in place. If they are
worn through or missing they must be
replaced. A little neatsfoot oil might
be rubbed into them as an extra pre-
caution. Close hood and see if metal
touches metal at any place. A light
touch of graphite grease should be
applied here and there and particularly
along the hood hinges and where the
rod touches dash and radiator. Now
shake the car again or try it out on a
rough road.

RECORD POTATO CROP MUST
BE CONSUMED OR WASTED

Our potato crop last year is
estimated to have been 1885,
600 bushels-the largest ever
produced in the United States.
This crop cannot be carried over
the 1918 season. 1t must be con-
sumed or wasted. The food stu
alton throughout the world de-
mands that it be consumed eff
fectively to relieve the existing
strain on the supply of cereals.
1t is the one great food resource
of the world upon which there is
now danger Of a heavy loss.
The department of agriculture
Is of the opinion that the situa-
ton demands that farmers sell
freely; that the larger dealers
move their stocks rapidly; that
the retailer content himself with
the smallest possible margin of
profit, realizing that he is now
the most important factor in
speeding up potato consumption;
and that consumers buy and eat
literally of this plentiful food.

SAVE A LITTLE
SUGAR TODAY.
Use Sweet Fruits.

Sugar consumption in many
households can be easily low
cred not only by giving prefer
ence to dishes which contain lit
tie sugar or with which sugar
is not usually served, but also
by the use of sweet fruits. For
instance, fresh fruits or baked
apples may serve instead of
sweet buildings, or a salad in
place of dessert. Sweet, dried
fruits such as dates, raisins or
figs served with breakfast ce-
reals will reduce the sugar
needs.

the surgeons by asking that the arm
be made perfectly straight so he
could use a hunting rifle and bill

Another Canadian officer insisted
on having his smashed leg so rebuilt

he was ready for the saddle.
