More solid tires 60 to the scrap heap
prematurely because Of overlooking
than for any other reason. A good
solid tire is constructed to give its full
value in miles, and a quick and sure
way to cut down mileage Is to put
too heavy load on the truck. A team
of horses may occasionally be called
on to carry a load which seems too
heavy for them and not be injured.
Mistake Of Owners.
Some truck owners think they can
call on their solid tires to carry an
over-heavy load occasionally in the
same way, but in this they make a
mistake. When once solid tire Is
battered out because of overlooking.
it is ruined. The overlooking may oc-
cur the very first time the tire Is used,
and instead Of giving the thousands
of miles which a well constructed solid
should give, the tires usefulness u
spoiled at the outset.

Many men of moderate means who
have bought motor trucks during the
war period and have gone into the
transportation business have had little
training or experience in truck oper-
alton and, because of this fact, stand
In a position TO incur heavy expenses
unnecessarily - expenses which the
experienced truck owner would be sure
to avoid.
Business Attracts.
Attracted by the possibility OF get
ting established in paying business
these men have invested in trucks
with the thought that they could
quickly acquire the knowledge neces-
sary to a proper handling of their ma
chimes.
To these men who are new In the
trucking business q big tire company
gives as its most important word OF
advice. "avoid overlooking your truck,
because too heavy load means ruined
tires."

OPENINGS IN HOOD
OF CAR IMPORTANT
Louvres Keep Temperature at
Point of Greatest Efficiency.
Sits in Sides Of Metal Hoods Are Not
Fad of Automobile Designer-Ab-
sence Means Dack Pressure
on Radiator Fan.

In the mind of more than one man
who owns and drives his own motor
ear the Sits cut in the sides of the
metal hood are purely a fad OF the
automobile designer. and excuse their
existence by making rakish looKlhs
bonnet. Judging from externals, II
might seem that this is the case
since in number of automobiles the
hood openings, or louvres, either nave
lost caste completely, or have been so
reduced in number as TO lose any hint
of significance.
The louvre, nevertheless, Is srather
an important factor in keeping the
motor temperature at point that per-
mits the car to operate at Its great
est efficiency. The air that has warmed
in passing over the engine finds It's
exit TO the outer atmosphere through
these openings, and in this way opens
a path for a constant stream of fresh,
cool air above the working parts.
The absence of louvres, or the pres
ence of only limited number, means
a back pressure of warm air on the
radiator fan. On the contrary, 1t fol-
lows that the greater the number OF
louvres the greater will be the velocity
of the unwarmed air flowing under the
bonnet.
In many parts Of the country,
where temperature conditions do not
require the utmost of cooling systems,
attention to this detail of cooling sys-
TEN construction is matter of little
consequence. However, in hot, dry
regions, motor cars must travel on
their cooling systems as well as on
their fuel tanks, and every item that
points the way to a better radiator
system deserves at least passing no
tice from the motorist.

Brought Too Late to Be Car
ried to Mount Vernon.

For the second time in forty years
a walking stick formerly owned by
George Washington was taken from
safe-deposit vault in Baltimore and
was brought to this city yesterday.
The gold-headed relic. for which
100000 was refused some time ago. Is
the property of Edward w. Creecy
of Howard county. Md. Mr.. Creecy
brought it to Washington yesterday
with the Intention of having the
Prince of Wales carry it while at
Mount Vernon. The prince. however.
left before the arrival of the staff.
The other time in the past forty
years when it was taken from the
safe deposit was when Gov. War
field, guarded by two detectives, car
ried it to the jamestown exposition
with him. The staff "came through"
the great Baltimore fire, having been
in safe deposit at the time.
Mr.. Creecy said that he thought that
eventually the relic would be placed
in the National Museum here. 1t has
