Spare Tire Causes Trouble.

The car owner who carries a spare
tire-and a great many of them do
it-unprotected on the car is laying
up trouble for himself. Even IL no
more serious accident happens, dust
collects on the inside of the spare
casing and is turned to mud by the
first shower. Then when the casing

posit of mud. with chatting and a
speedy blow as the result. Cases for
the spare tire cost little, and they
should always be used to protect and
preserve the spare tire for its day of
service.

ANSWERS GIVEN TO
MOTOR QUESTIONS

Q. What progress has been made
recently in lug construction for de-
mountable rims? 1t Is somewhat
of a nuisance to take off the nut
and lug and scatter them all around.
Especially at night. and oftcntimes
a nut will fit only a specific bolt,
although they should fit all. being
a standard thread.
A. with the exception of one de-
sign ] have seen nothing new in
this direction. The new design ]
have in mind combines a nut and
lug that always stay on the fellOe
of the wheel. so it never will be
lost. l believe it is made in New
York City by the Auto Products
Company or the Neverlost Rim Lug
Company. II you will simply ad-
dress them. Broadway. New York,
] think the letter will reach them.
Q. O. Is II unwise to disconnect the
fan in cool weather? l have a little
six Lozier that runs so much bet
ter when the fan is not working.
(2). Does a Victoria top save the
wear and tear on rear tires to any
great extent? (3). Is there any
great Improvement in recent car
buretors. and If so which would
you advise for the car mentioned
above?
A %. Some owners deliberately
allow the fan belt to slip or take
the belt off altogether an cold
weather. 1t is better. however. to
use a radiator cover or some such
device and allow the fan belt to
operate normally. (2). The top has
nothing to do with tire wear. (3).
The plain tube type now is produced
by nearly all makers and is the
most advanced design.
Q. In looking at my front tires
the other day l noticed that one
of them was worn pretty badly,
as though the wheel were not run
ming true. Is it possiIe for one
wheel to be out of line and not
the other? What causes It?
A One wheel may be wabbIy, due
TO a worn bearing or a bearing not
properly adjusted. or the rim may
not be mounted true and you get

Silent Chains Much Used.

Silent chains that are now so much
used for camshaft and electrical unit
drive should be treated exactly as il
they were sets of bearings. Each
Joining stud and rivet of the chain
should be regarded as a bearing is
and must above all be given sys-
tematic and careful fabrication.
Chains that run in the open need oil
treatment once a day. The oil should
be put on the inside. as this Is the
part that comes in direct contact with
the sprockets. An oil brush is the
most convenient method of distribut-
ing the oil along the surface of the
chain.

this trip either entirely or in part,

The two Autocars with capacity
loads successfully made the ascent
of Pixies Peak and are the first
motor trucks that have ever made
that ascent with such loads. They
also were able to negotiate this
climb without any adjustment Of
motors. The road up Pixies Peak
is a good road, amply broad enough
for cars to pass eacn other readily
and with a good surface. although
somewhat soft in places. From the
toll gate at the bottom to the sum-
nit is eighteen miles with an aver
age grade of 7.5 per cent and an
Official maximum OF 10.5 per cent.
The gradometer of the Autocar
party, however, showed a grade of
l6 per cent In some places near the
top.
This climb Is 1000 feet IN eighteen
miles with a road SO winding that
in one spot. looking both above and
below, one can see the road in
seventeen different places. The
climb was made in five hours and
the return down the mountain in
one and one-half hours.
Freighting Impractical.
Motor truck freighting across the
continent is possible, but not very
practical because Of the road condi-
tions prevailing In many places west
OF the Mississippi. Passenger cars
are able to skim at high speed over
roads on which loaded trucks would
cut through and sink into or 10
inches of sand. All inquiries as to
conditions Of roads, also, are answered
by the natives from the passenger car
standpoint. A road that Is rough they
would call bad. no matter how hard
the foundation under 1t might be.
The light. smooth road. however.
would be called good. even though
loaded trucks on 1t might sink into
the sand up to their hubs.
The feeling of the men who made
the trip between the Mississippi Val
lev and California, was unanimous
that the Santa Fe was In much bet
ter shape than the Lincoln Highway.
Roads were better. with better grades,
and better hotel accommodations.
Garages were found plentif" over
both roads.
California Most Motorized.
California was found to be much
more completely motorized than any
other State crossed. In Los Angeles,
for instance, one of the men kept
record for 13 days. OF all vehicles that
he saw drawn by animals. In thst
time he saw only six vehicles pro-
pelled in the old fashioned way.
The party, too, were convinced that
roads in the great West. because OF
the spare population, will have to be
built by some such national agency
as that provided by the Townsend bill.

Lubnca6on Hint.

Trouble is often experienced with
over-lubrication of the front cylinder
of the Ford car. the oil forcing its
way past the piston rings and causing
excessive carbon. This is caused by
the connecting rod of the front cyl.n-
der dipping too deeply into the oil.
4 cure is suggested as follows: Level
up the crankcase by raising and
blocking up the front end of the
motor. This is accomplished by plac-
ing a pad under the crankcase front
frame bearing. II there is a decided
pitch to the crankcase il may be nee
essary to use a block that will re-
quire longer spring clips. The align
ment OF the motor will not be af.
fected.

Down through the centuries, the de-
sire to navigate in the depths of the
sea has obsessed the minds of men, just
as the adventure of flying in heavier
than-air machine has haunted men for
generations with its imagined possi-
bilities. Men have always looked upon
the submarine as a vital factor in
salvaging and war
