Says Repairing Is On

From the observations OF local au-
tomobIIe men it would seem tnat
while there are perhaps considerably
less. machines in operation than there
were a year ago that the amount OF
repair work required is steadlly m
crea sing. Il am sure states George
J. shaw. manager Of the Ioltelk gar
age that there are fewer macnlnes
in operation now than there were last
wear In the month Of May Notwith-
standing this our Work in repairing
is much heavier. Doubtless this ls
due in a great measure TO increased
OUTPUT demanded by the war, and the
turning TO various practical uses ma
chimes that were formerly Kept Tor

eft NAV be readily seen that a car
plunged into business use is subject
10 rougher usage than the average
pleasure car and therefore requires
more repair. Then. too. the times

Do NOT NEGLECT
TREAD Of TIRES
Local Expert Shows Great
Care of Tread Foremost
in Conservation.

cit is surprising how many motor
lists never bother about the condition
OF the tread OF their tires" is the OBJ
servation Of C. W. Allen, branch man
aver for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
company. and yet" he says, "the
tread Of a tire is one Of its most i'm
portant parts. II IS the rubber cover
ing which protects the cotton carcass
Of the tire from injury. So that, OBJ
viousIy. it is important that the tread
be kept intact OtherWi Use, dirt, water

access to the fabric and rapid depre-
citation results
IF the minor cuts that are caused
by running over glass. sharp pebbles.
etc. are not taken care Of, the tire
viii surely go out Of service prema-
turely. As the tire rolls along, the
cut sucks in water and gravel, which
are absorbed by the fabric. Just as a
wick absOrbs oil The moisture
causes a separation Of the tread from
the fabric. and the dirt works in al
the point Of separation soon the &C
0rIr0I1atfon Of dirt forms a sand

tfnues to loosen farther around the
tire and the fabric slowly rots away
Then a sharp bump against a rock or
other sharp projection brings the un-
welcome sound Of a blow out TO the
drivers ears
ssN(ow all this can be easily pre-
vented with the aid Of a little tire
putty. which costs little and is easily
applied. Occasionally the tires should

Fitting Spark Plugs.
In fitting a spark plug in a cold
cylinder, be very careful not TO screw

are quickly run down
Valve Tappet Adjustment.
There occasionally develops in an
engine normally quiet in operation,
tapping or knocking, which is due To
maladjustment Of one OF two OF the
valve tappets. For quiet operation OF
the tappets, there must not be severe
impact between tappet and valve
stem. II the tapDet is moving fast
before IL commences to lift the valve,
the impact viii be severe and there
viii be noise. The tappet should be
adjusted so as very nearly TO touch

FouIed Plugs.
When spark plugs habitually be-

Emergency Starting.
In cases where the starter IS out OF
business and the crank handle is not
available, il is possible to start the
engine by lacking up the rear wheels,
blocking the front wheels and then
shifting into high, after which the
cylinders are primed. the spark and
throttle are set and the engine is
cranked by turning a rear wheel. In
doing this the operator should take
