TIRE ROTATION BEST.
Put New Tires ON Rear wheels
First,

Few motorists realize the Importance
OF always mounting new tires on rear
wheels, moving UP the partly worn tires
to the front wheels.
This principle of tire rotation. IL
strictly followed. will increase tire mile
age as much as 80 per cent. II may
sound like exaggeration. but careful
tests have proved that this increase
often results.
The service which tires are called
uron to give on front wheels is much
less severe than that required on rear
wheels. Tires nearly worn out in ser
vico on the rear wheels will run for
hundreds and often thousands of miles
under less severe conditions If put on
the front wheels
The chief objection to practising this
principle of tire rotation comes from
motorists who use non-skids on rear
wheels only, finding that non-skid tires
on front wheels cause difficulty in steer
ing. much the same as driving over
rough or stony roads This objection
to the use OF non-skids In front is con-
fined to tires with small sharp projec-
lions. The non-skid with a broad. fiat
traction surface can be used on the
front wheels Just as comfortably. and
satisfactorily as on rear.
r. B. Bramwell, advertising manager
OF the Michelin Tire Company, points
out that the Michelin Universal nom
skid is an ideal tire for use on all four
wheels Its tread is broad and fiat, be-
ing designed to combine the advantages
OF both the raised tread and the sue
ton tread types Of non-skids. Thus,
while extremely effective in preventing
skidding. II also offers an unusually
large traction Surface. which makes
steering and driving easy. With this
tire the principle of tire rotation can
be utilized to full advantage.

-. Could an effective axle repair be
made by using bolts to keep oil from
leaking out around the flanges. The two
halves of the housing are not tight and

and the housing cracked slightly. 1 took
some small bolts, drilled a few more
holes and frightened the halves together.
Do you think that is safe enough?
A. wouldn't Allow it to go as a per-
manent repair. At the first opportunity

| Is it possible for the flap to cause that

\. OF course. and you can readily
prove it to yourself by noting the loca-
ton of the tube pinch and compare it

Q. The valves in my car are very
noisy and no amount of adjustment at
the tappet seems to be able TO stop 1t.
I have the smallest clearance now and
still they click very loud, What else
can do?
\. The noise may be caused by worn
valve stems or stem guides or by warped
valve heads or poorly seating valves.
II is not always the tappct.
Q. understand there is a governor for

PRACTICAL PARAGRAPHS
Fuel Stoppage

When the engine. after being started
runs for a minute or two and then stops,
the first place to look for trouble is in
the gasolene feed line. A partial stop
page in the pipe will lessen the flow OF
fuel so that the float chamber nils slowly.
on being started the motor at once con-
sumes this gasolene and then has TO
wait for more. There is another posi-
HE cause OF this trouble, and that is
the float of the carbureter sticking. OF
course II the float is stuck in high
position the flow OF fuel will be greatly
lessened or even stopped.
