"The achievements of the Essex were
augmented recently when q stock tour

"On the day of tho races, Mat Knauf
drove his car from Peru. H., to

Mr.. Houpt; ION his arrival he decided
to enter. The judges at first laughed
at him and finally allowed the Essex
on the course only rs a joke. Knauf's
car was fully equipped. The other

Tire Guaranty
Is Discussed
BY Rutherford
Definite Mileage Warranty
and What 1t Means to the
User Is Told by Goodrich
Executive

Tho tire guaranty-what it does and
does not dos probably one of the
most misunderstood things in the tire
business, from the STANDPOINT of the
,ser and dealer, according to w. O.
rutherford, second vice president of
he B. r. Goodrich Rubber Company
II am glad to give plain, frank
ak on tire guarantees" Mr.. Ruther-
ord says ut is very welcome thing
% help clear up the Misunderstanding
about the guaranty that misleads many
ire users and dealers. A better I'M
}erstanding of the guaranty and how
rights and safety are best secured in
Tho sale of tire would be whole
scme thing for the whole tire business.
"Why does user buy a certain tire :?
Nine times out Of ten because he has
Ocen led in some way TO expect GER
tain mileage from it. Therefore, there
can be no more vital thing than clear
understanding on the part Of the user
concerning what service he has right
to expect from a tire.
docs the tire guaranty alone make
this clear either for the tire user or
the dealer? After all, what does the
tire guaranty guarantee? Where does
it begin? Where does it end? Let
me point out O. very interesting thing
concerning the tire guaranty.
AS matter of record, all the lead
ing tire manufacturers, our own COM
pany the same as the rest, guarantee
tires with the identical words. Let
me quote from the standard guaranty
the following: we guarantee ail
pneumatic automobile tires bearing our
name and serial number to be free
from imperfection OF material and
workmanship will quote little
further: Pneumatic automobile tires
are not guaranteed to give any definite
number of miles
Nov, this guaranty simply means
that if, in the judgment Of the manu-
facturer, usage reveals an imperfec-
ton OF material or workmanship the
manufacturer will repair or replace it
at his option. adjusting it according
to his own Judgment, and it means
nothing more.
"'But how is the adjustment Of an
imperfect tire made? the tire user and
dealer have every right to ask. Where
does the adjustment Begin? 1t is OBJ
vious that to these questions the guar
anty against imperfection makes no
specific answer. 1t lays down nothing
to serve as a basis for giving q tire
user something that unquestionaDly is
due him.
"But to these questions the Goodrich
adjustment makes a specific answer
an answer nobody can misunderstand

stops and leaves no room for misun-

service that should have been rendered

Some Things
To Do When
Laying Up Car
Twelve Points That Need Be
Covered Carefully-Also
Reminders When the Car
Comes Out of Storage

Motor car owners who wish to store
their touring models until spring
should have in mind protection against
cold and dampncss, two factors which
can do more injury to your car than
10000 miles of driving.
The first and obvious thing to do is
to look OVER the garage to see if it is
weather proof. If 1t could be hermeti-
Ically sealed it would be ideal, but as
this is impractical do the next best
and see that all cracks and openings
ara closed up, doors fit properly and
generally prepare it so that your car
will be snug and warm as possible
Now as to the preparation OF the car
itself:
Il. Wash and thoroughly clean
the car and jack it up from under
the frame. Do this by placing four
wooden trestles under the frame, the
best points of support being close
up against the two front shackle
bolt brackets of the front springs.
Supporting the chassis in this man
ner relieves all weight from the
springs and wheels.
so. Remove all tires from the rims
and completely exhaust air from the
inner tubes and rub them down we'll
with soapstone, sprinkle with French
chalk, fold them up perfectly fiat.
care being taken not to crease them,
and place in inner-tube bag. The
tires should be laid down fiat Store
both tires and tubes in a dark place.
"S. Clean and shellac all rims.
-. Drain off water from the ra-
diator and cylinder block. Flush out
the radiator with hose. To insure
that all water has been emptied from
cylinder block and water pipes, start
up motor and run slowly for a few
minutes. This will convert any water
into steam, which unicht haxa COLLECTED

in the water jacket. Replace any plugs
removed to drain off the water and
close drain cocks.
"5. Empty gas tank ard drain car
buretor.
"6< Disconnect electrical cables at
battery and remove the battery.
Smear ends Of cable with vaseinc.
Fill with distilled water and store in
a dry place where there is no danger
of freezing. Battery should be
taken to charging station and re-
charged every two months in order
to best preserve it.
~. Release clutch by propping
open with strip of wood between
clutch pedal and floor board.
20. Wipe all machined parts OF
motor and transmission, clutch and
steering gear with oil soaked rag.
Cover motor completely with canvas
burlap or an old rug, and replace
bonnet.
80. Oil all steering joints and con-
nections and wrap up with rag.
40. Fill shackle bolt cups with oil
and wrap up with rag. Fill and screw
down ali grease cups.
al. Pry open spring leaves and
inject graphite and bandage with rag
or canvas.
"12 Put the top up and cover the
whole car with dust sheet which
will completely cover the car on all
sides and attach tape or cords to the
ends and tie together underneath the
car"
Also write the following reminders
on tag and tie to the steering wheel,
so that you will be sure to do these
things when you want to again drive
your car in the spring:
81. Fill radiator with water.
"2. See that drain cocks are closed.
80. Empty oil stump and refill with
fresh oil.
~. Thoroughly oil and grease as
per oiling chart.
"5. Refill battery with distilled
water and charge.
IS. Flush out carburetor with gas"
II the above features are carefully
carried out, you can lock the door Of
your garage and have the assurance
that when the time comes to use your
car again 1t will look and drive az we'll

ioE iliIIuCClONS Oh tuc trAtIlC IeBula-
tions.
Magistrate W. Bruce Cobb said re-
Gently that he was convinced that fines
and imprisonment rested unevcnly on
different offenders against the high
way laws and that. in his opinion, revo-
cation OF licenses as a general punish
mcnt for violations would have more
salutary and far-reaching effect. This
view was later expressed by Chief
Magistrate McAdoo in letter adj
dressed by him to the organization
Among other things MIR. McAdoo said:
az earnestly endorse the principles
which underlie your organization, and
believe it will prove Of infinite benefit
to both drivers and pedestrians. A
driver who shows himself to be reck-
less and n moro or less lawless individ-
ual should have his license taken away
from him. If he shows possibility OF
improvement, it might be suspended
for 81 given period, at the end Of which
he should be compelled to prove his
reformation. Above fines, and even
jail sentences, is revocation Of H.
cense."
Thus Magistrate McAdoo goes square
ly on record as being in favor Of q
moro frequent resort to the revocation
Of license to restrain violators of the
highway Jaws and tho traffic regula-
tions.
1t is manifestly true that fine is
not adequate punishment for the
wealthy, yet a fine sometimes imposes
a very onerous burden upon the chau
feur who is earning his living by oper-
ating his motor vehicle. Frequently
fine represents actual privatlon to
such an offender.
On the other hand, the wealthy bust
ness man would &c terribly upset by q
Jail sentence, whereas q certain class Of
motor vehicle operator might prefer
river" in lieu Of paying q fine.
Obviously, however, neither the big
business man, who drives his car from
time to time for pleasure, nor the
chauffeur who earns his living by driv-
ing would care to have his license re-
voked, SO such g proceeding would work
a great hardship upon both.
The primary purpose Of the laws reg
ulating the operation of motor vehicles
upon the highway is to restrain reck-
less drivers rather than to furnish rev.
enue to the city and state. Therefore
the law should be revised with this OBJ
iect ever in mind, for after all, in the
last analysis, law and the officers for
law enforcement are nothing more or
less than restraining influences and
agencies.
The league makes bold to suggest 20
both the city and state authorities that
legislation as outlined above must be
supplemented by the enactment Of a
law prescribing a more rigid penalty
fer the ofTensc of operating motor
vehicles without license If Che
revocation OF licenses should be made
the punishment Of last resort for viola
tions Of the highway laws and traffic
regulations, the penalty for operating
4 motor vehicle without license should
be made far more drastic. Otherwise
the whole program would fail. The
league suggests that the law should be
amended to provide that the operation
Of motor vehicle by an individual
whose license had been revoked would
constitute felony, punishable by i'm
prisonment for q minimum Of one year
or fine Of $1,000, or both such fine
and imprisonment
