Careful application of the brake will

Goodrich Rubber Company.

street intersections many drivers wait

result. The tires suffer the bulk of
this abuse by grinding and saving
against the road surface. Very otter
sharp stones are caught between the
tire and the road, and as the car slides
to standstill hole is gougcd OF
filed into the casing. Every time 8
brake is suddenly applied a portion of
the tread is worn off, eventually bar
ing the fabric carcass.
Lack of brake application in turning
corners destroys tires quickly Cars
operating in cities where frequent
turns are necessary in their daily trips
VIII more than pay for the time saved
IN speeding on the turns in unneces-
sary tire bills. The abnormal twist
and strain on the tires not ONLY tend
to loosen the fabric plies, but wear
away the rubber on the side of the
treads. Slowing down gently should
be one of the first operations mas
tered by beginning drivers.

Packard owners and drivers.

quent reviews and repcttions, so that
the business man whose attendance is
OF necessity irregular may drop in
from day to day and still receive the
tull course. For instance one day will
be devoted to the study of ignition, an
other day to the proper fabrication Of
all parts, etc. These lessons will be
repeated on the same day of the follow
ing week, and the lecture and demon
stration will be given in both the morn
ing and the afternoon. Saturdays are
"misce llaneous" days at which all the
loose ends" are cleaned up.
The course has already proved very
popular and a number Of owners and
drivers are entered. Several drivers

is rapidly being pressed into govern
ment service, and that woman can
make minor repairs and adjustments as
we'll as a man.
The main object Of the course, how
ever, is not to teach how to repair dam
age, but how to avoid it. The man or
woman who is thoroughly familiar with
car knows that drop of oil or the
twist of screw in the right place will
save much trouble and expense later
on, and anything that eliminates waste
and improves our private transporta-
ton is patriotic duty these days.
The value of this course to men who
expect to enter the Federal service in
the near future is great indeed In the
army, and the navy, too for that mat

men who understand automobiles, and
while the course will not make a man
