LOOK YOUR MOTOR
OVER SAYS LACK

every motorist should spend a few
hours each week in going over his car"
says Jean Lack of the WHY'S Overland
company. "While the solid construction
and fool proof design of the modern
automobile will permit a great deal
of abuse and neglect, it surely follows
that in the end this oversight is felt in
repairs and useless expense. If every
motorist would consider his car as
a fine piece of machienry in which he
has invested considerable money and
would devote the time he figures such
an investment should take, there would
be more satisfied car owners and bet
ter results from automobile ownership.
1t is just good business to do it, and the
operator of an automobile service sta
tion would like to see every owner do
this"

WELDING WORKS
BOON TO VALLEY

Coming to the valley early in jan

in an up to date oxy-acetylene weld
ing works and make it the best of its
kind in the valley and one that would
not be surpassed in equipment and
workmanship by anyone in Southern
California. After making this state
ment he at once got busy installing
equipment and machinery in the build
ing erected for him by Mr.. c. E.

Mr.. Murphy states that, he or his
partner, Mr.. Martz, will take pleasure
in showing you about the plant and
explaining in detail any or all of the
modern equipment they are using in
their plant. 1t would be well for any
farmer or man using any kind of ma

unnecessary delays in waiting for new

LOCAL TIRE DEALER
ADVISES TIRE
ROTATION

Very few motroists realize the nee
sity of mounting new tires on rear
wheels, moving up the partly worn
tires to the front wheels.
This idea of tire rotation, if strictly
followed, will increase tire mileage in
some instances as much as fifty per
cent. 1t may sound like exaggeration,
but careful tests have proved that this
increase often results.
The service which tires are called up
on to give on front wheels is much less
than that required of rear wheels.
Tires nearly worn out in service on the
rear wheels will run for hundreds of
miles under less severe conditions if
put on the front wheels.
The chef objection to practicing 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
steering much the same as driving over
rough or stony roads. This objection
to the use of non-skids on front
wheels is confined to tires with small,
sharp projections.
"The non-skid with broad, flat
traction surface can be used on the
front wheels just as comfortably and
satisfactorily as on the rear" points
out George Anderson of the Imperial
Valley Hardware.

COL. BRADLEY-BUYS
HUDSON SPEEDSTER

That the auction bushes must be
profitable is the opinion of a number
of Col. J. G. Bradley's friends. At least
this would be the inference from the
conversation that was handed out to
the Colonel as he drove up to the curb
yesterday in new Hudson speedster.
The car is the personification of
class, and Col. Bradley can't be blam-
ed for liking the car, although it is
said he has been seriously considering
the purchase of an airplane.
The car was purchased from the H.
f. O'Byrne Agency here and is among
the very first of this years models to
be delivered.

COM|SKEY PARK
WORLDS FINEST
BASEBALL PARK

CHICAGO, Sept. 27. = Comiskey
Park in Chicago where the opening
game of the worlds series will be
played between the Chicago Americans
and the Cincinnati Nationals, pennant
winners of their respective leagues,
this season, is one of the most elabor-
ate baseball parks in the country. At
the time it was built in 1910 at was
declared to be a baseball palace and
since that time several other base
ball clubs have erected stands along
the lines of Comiskey's creation.
The Comiskey Park, however, is the
only one in the country which is own
ed by single person-Charles A..
Comiskey, who is also the only man
in the big league who is the sole own
er of a club.
The tract of land upon which the
steel and concrete structures are built
contains fourteen acres, and was pur-
chased by Comiskey when he decided
to move his team from the thirty
ninth street location where the stands
were made of wood.
This big grand stand was started
in February 1910 and finished July 1,
of the same year. The club played part
of its 1910 games on the old grounds
and moved to the new park on the day
it was completed. Twelve hundred tons
of steel were used in the grand stand.
The park is located at West 35th street
and Shields Ave-, and is reached from
all parts of the city by elevated and
surface lines and numerous boule-
wards. The playing field is laid out
with the home plate in the southwest
corner of the field, thus allowing the
batter to face the plate and making
right field the "sun garden. The dis
ance behind the plate to the first row
of boxes in the grand stand is 82
feet, eight feet less than the major
league regulations call for.
The distance down the right and
left field foul lines from the home
plate to the bleachers fence is 365
feet, twelve feet more than regula-
tions. From home plate to the center
field fence is 450 feet. These dimen-
sions make the playing field the only
one in the country conforming so close
ly to standards. The park has seat
ing capacity of $4,000. The original
seating capacity of the park was 32,-
600 yet at one time-Frank Chase day
President Comiskey made a settle
ment for 36,3Os paid admissions to
the New York Yankees.
The grand stand is double deck
structure, with box seats fringing it's
front on both decks. There are IL ,0O(
of these box seats. The grand stanc
seats behind the boxes are on inclines
There are about 5000 of these anc
they are all reserved. The lower granc
stand seats are reached by two inclin
ed run-ways. which go up at either
end of the stand, and when about hall
way up branch out, making it possible

TOM GILL GIVES
HISTORY Of TIRE
RE-7READ|NG

Successfully retreading tires is
no longer an experiment any more
than successfully making pneuma-
tic tire is an experiment" said Mr..
Gill Of Philley and Gill today. "Re-
treading is the natural sequence OF
tire manufacturing"
The leading tire makers found out
by long experience that in properly
constructed tire-neither too much
rubber nor too much fabric--the fab
ric under ordinary conditions would
be almost as good as new after the
rubber was worn away. In fact, many
tires have stood up after having been
re-treaded the third time and given
the guaranteed mileage in each case.
If casing is well protected by a
good coating of rubber on the outside
and by sufficient initiation on the in
side the fabric will undergo very lit
tie deterioration and last indefinitely.
The first re-treading was done by
cementing narrow rubber band on
that portion of the tire which receiv-
ed the most wear. On account Of the
crude methods employed and the lack
of good material, this was not sue
cess.
The next step was what is known
as the half-sole. This is merely a
covering or reinforcement cemented
or sewed on the outside Of the old
tire. It is yet being used in various
forms to some extent.
After this quite a stride was made
