Tires Have Rim Troubles

1t is characteristic of a great manv
exhortations On tire care that thew re-
Ter mainly to the tire itself, to the
exclusion of other important elements
that really have vital bearing on the
tires life. And tires cannot be made
to run out their allotted mileage except
through the application of all tire
saving principles
In the use Of tires the care of the
rim--or its neglect a much great
er effect than commonly supposed.
Bent rims cause lot Of trouble COM
monty attributed to other causes. I
have known tires to go out of commits
sion before rendering five hundred
miles Of service. due to break in the
tire just above the bead, caused by g
bent rim.
Loose demountable rims cause lot
or tire trouble. If one of the small
wedges that help to hold the rim tight
10 the wheel becomes loose or jiggles
of the rim starts working" and grad
ually the other wedges work loose.
lhen the rim begins to creep" and the
valve stem bears the entire strain The
result is the same as when a bjcycle
TIRE creeps-the valve stem pulls off
and tire change is unavoidable.
In applying demountable rim great
care must be used to make sure that
the rim is frightened as nearly uniform
as possible around its circumference.
II the wedges are drawn up uneyen]v
che tire will wabble and the tread will
wear off abnormally. Usually by care
7ul prying, after getting the wedges
even, the rim will slip into its place
on the wheel easily and there will be
no need of pounding the rim to get it
on. nave seen motorists pound both
the RIM and the tire savagely with a
sledsehammer to get rim off or on.
This is bad, for every blow on the tire
may cause a fabric break, and the
pounding on the rim may bend it.
Rusty rims are responsible for lot
OF damage. They corrode tubes, max
ing tire changing difficult and cause
the tire to "freeze" on. Moisture is
bound to work in in any type of rim
But its effects can be nulifed by care
full periodical inspection Of your rims.
They should be cleaned up at least
once every six months and treated with
graphite. Ordinary paint will not suf-
ice, as the heat generated by the tire
will melt the paint and the tire will
stick to the rim. SO be sure to use
graphite.
that hold the rim to the wheel at least
monthly. Any car owner who takes
the. time to inspect his rims period
ically and keep them in good condition
will certainly save himself both trouble
and money.-James Atkins, manager
rim department. Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company.

Liberty Six Called Car
OF Inherited Experience

"Ihat the Liberty Six, although just
past its second birthday. is an estab-
lished success, with distribution the
country over, is due to the conditions
under which the Liberty Motor Car
Company was started" says E. S. Part.
I!dge, president of the Owen Magnetic
motor Sales Corporation, which handles
the Liberty in the metropolitan terri
tory "The Liberty is rightly called a
car of inherited experience in that
Percy Owen and his associates en-
bodied in it from the start the feat
ures they know are essential in making
the right sort of appeal to the public.
You must remember that Owen had
oeen tor sixteen years in the motor car
world, first as a dealer and later as a
factory executive. His training vas
such as to fit him with knowledge of
What the public wants in motor car.
lhe men he had associated with him
were persons of the highest standing
IN the automobile world-men imam
cars. they know that the only way to
thrive IN the motor car business is to
hulld car IN the interest and for the
bcnent OF the owner Automobiles that
are oullt to make money for the manu-
lacturer may be financial successes but
they Will not stand the strain of time.
The Liberty car is fundamentally .
car built for the owners benefit. a car
which answers in advance all the
owners questions and meets in ad
vance all his needs. In the brief time
that VIC have had the Liberty line in
this territory We have seen this ideal
lear fruit in the complete satisfaction
OF those persons VINO already have Lib
erty cars or who have boupht +bam
through u.s.
Prom our point of view the car il
built for our benefit, too, in that it is
assigned for the owner, first of all. In
other words, it is far pleasanter for q
dealer to sell that sort of car. His Gus
TONERS are pleased and stay pleased.
When the dealer makes sale he knows
ne is not buying trouble at the cost of
the commission he earns"

Owners Will Have to
Know Their Cars Bette,

utomobile dealers of New York and
other cities throughout the country
have adopted new standards that will
rule hereafter in motor car service
work. thereby releasing from their
present positions large number of
men who can be employed in govern
ment work
A great deal of good will come from
the present programme of the dealers,
particularly in encouraging the car
owner to perform small adjustments
and repairs. He will not only realize
how easy it is to do little Jobs when
put to the task, but also save money
by doing them himself.
The owner now will learn more about
ms car than ever before, and this
knowledge will be useful to him, for
he will be able to appreciate the good
points of the average machine. This
knowledge will be a great aid to him
in the driving and care of his car and
he will learn that many of his past
tronbles were due to neglect-James
>. Hunt, general manager REQ Motor
Car Company of New York.

Practical Test Of Trucks
And Tires for Long H

A rigorous test of the automobile
truck for long hauls is being made BY
the United States Tire Company. which
is using its test feet for Transporting
flom its Detroit factory to its Indian.
apolis plant large quantities of ma.
chlnery. removal of which to Indian
apolis has been made necessary BY
factory economies.
The factories are 80 miles apart
and the feet of three trucks has al
ready made several trips in each direc-
ton. All the trucks are equipped with
large pneumatic tires, and the records
which have been kept. demonstrate
that the company's claims that pneu-
matte tires make greater speed possible
while saving not less than SO l3 per
cent in gasolene and great wear and
tear on the engines, as compared with
trucks equipped with solid tires, are
not exaggerated.
On one of the recent trips from
Detroit to Indianapolis the trucks cov
cred the distance in 17s4 hours actual
running time, an average of IS to IL
miles an hour, and the return trip was
made at the rate of II miles an hour.
One OF the trucks is one and half
ton car. which has already covered
fV''oV mlleS. ne rear tires on TINS
truck are 3Sx7 in size and before they
gave the slightest indication of trouble
had achieved a mileage of more than
5000 miles each. Each of these rear
tires carries weight of 1927 pounds
when the truck is loaded The two
other machines are a one-ton and 1
three and one-half ton.
Full loads are carried in both direc-
tions, machinery being carried on the
trip south and inner tubes on the
return. There is no delay at either end
as the loads are planned in advance

Gears Must Be Lubricated
To Save Clashing Noise

"a nerve racking noise Of shiftif!
gears is one of the worst faults an az
tomobile can have" says a garage mar
at just spoils car for woman.
Cone of the first things a womsh
likes about a car is its easy riding
qualities and one of the first things she
hates about it is the noise. She wants
to have feeling of luxury when she il
riding and she gets this in a quiet
smooth-running car.
Gear shifts have bad habit Of DE-
veloplng rasping, rafting noises. 1t Is
one Of the most troublesome parts oi
the car in this respect. Gears must run
IN good lubricant made especially for
the purpose. Ordinary grease will not
DO. 1t must be something that is tough
and durable as we'll as smooth. Graphite
forms coating over the metal and mol
only prevents metal to-m metal conta'''
but serves as q cushion for the en-
meshlng gears, deadening the noise
