CAR PRICES DUE FOR NO CUT, BUT
 SOME FOR RAISE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13.- Automobile prices are not going down
 that is positive. Some have al- already increased, though there has been no public announcement of the fact. Others are stationary, and still more manufacturers admit that on the price question they do not know just where they stand. They are trying to get along without making an ad- vance, but to most of them it looks as though, due to increased labor costs, as we'll as additional prices that must be paid for material, something must be added to the selling price if they are to continue making show ing on the right side of the ledger.
 It is not only labor and materials that are tending to boost motor car prices. It is the fact also that no manufacturer is yet back into full production. When in full production the factory costs are spread over a large output, but as conditions are to- day this overhead must be met by a limited number of cars. This means that it costs more to build each ma chine and as a consequence the pur- chase price of each car must be at least little higher.
 Automobiles will never again reach the low level that they did few years back. All conditions under which they were built have changed.
 It is costing more today to mine metals to produce steel and the long list of other products that enter into automobile construction. No indus try that the motor car manufacturer must depend upon for his products is operating today at full capacity, and until they are there can be no hope of any change in price other than upward.

WEAR OF AUTO TIRE IS IN PROPORTION TO
 WEAR OF THE ROAD

The allowable weight per inch width of tire for trailers should be greater than for self-propelled vehic- les, in the opinion of trailer manufac. turers, because trailer wheels are free rolling and do not have the destruc- tive effect of driving wheels on road surfaces. This is not only obvious, but is proved by the fact that tires on trailers give two or three times the mileage of tires on the drive wheels of motor vehicles. Wear of the tire is in direct proportion to wear of the road. Therefore, if 800 pounds per inch width of tire is allowed for motor trucks, 1000 pounds per inch can properly be allowed for trailer tires.

it gradually enough to give the engine time to respond.
 "No matter how great the danger may be, the throttle must be opened gradually. This does not mean to hesitate, but at speed which will not cause the engine to choke and strug- gle before accelerating.
 "Stalling the engine with the train approaching at high speed is a dan gerous experience, to say the least. There is no time to start the engine, so the operator who keeps his pres ence of mind will use the starter to pull out of danger As he realizes his. predicament he quickly shifts to low speed and presses the starter pedal. The car moves forward slow ly, but it moves! Keeping this fact in mind the driver may save his own life and also the lives of those with him.
 "When starting down a very steep grade it is advisable to place the gears in low speed. The rear wheels will then turn the engine, a movement requiring considerable effort. This produces very good effect. A light car on moderately steep hill will stop and heavy car will move slow ly, but always under control. This is called using the engine as a brake It should be practiced from time to time so that the driver may become familiar with the method. Do not nod your head and say you understand it and will apply it when the necessity arises. When your brakes do fail you will be too rattled to think out the best thing to do. So practice this trick frequently so that it becomes as easy as any other operation and you will have cause to be thankful if ever the need arises to use it."

CARING FOR HUB CAPS

When putting the car in commission for the year and every month during the running season the hub caps should be thoroughly cleaned out, all the grease and verdigris removed, after which the caps should be re- packed with fresh grease. It is also well to clean out the hubs and bear ings, washing them thoroughly with gasoline, SO that dirt and grit will be dislodged. When this has been done the moving parts should be again fabricated, the hub caps put back in place, and the car can be driven with out fear of improperly fabricated axles.

AUTOM0B BILE NEWS
HOW MUCH AIR IS
 NEEDED IN YOUR TIRES?

You can not give a tire too much air.
 But, you can give it too little, and under-inflated tires have caused more tire expense, more annoyance, more the other injuries to automobile tires. Some valuable hints concerning tire imitation are advanced by the Rabbit Bros. Trading Go. that, if needed, will mean a substantial saving to tire users.
 A motorist shouldn't think of run ming his car on tires with too little air in them any more than he would consider running his engine without oil. Before attempting either, he knows and has been warned repeated ly, that such practices are destructive and expensive. He might accidentally start on a trip without oil in the mo- tor, but never is this done intentional ly. Why then, asks the Diamond company, do so many motorists de- liberately run on tires with insufficient air pressure
 The two main reasons for this com mon practice, neither of which is ex- cusable, are: First, the car owner may be neglectful and allow his vigi- lance on tire imitation to relax; sec ond, he may like the easy riding of low air pressures and indulge in the practice as luxury. In either case tires are being destroyed prematurely and the owner will get nothing near the mileage built into the tire by the maker.
 Many users say they run their tires under-infiated because they fear that higher pressure might cause an in- jury. In the Diamond factories tires are frequently inflated to several hun dred pounds per inch for experimental purposes. Not single tire has ever bursted, and in every case either the rim or some other part gave way, not the tire.
 Contrary to common belief, hot weather effect on tires--the rising pressure of contained air caused by summer heat-is not appreciable and consequently is not at all dangerous.
 The Diamond company recommends the religious use of the following Sn- flation table of minimum pressures on cord and fabric tires if users wish to get full value from tires. The pres- sure for various sizes in relation to the load is given.

IS STYLE TO LEAD TO THIS?

"Green sweaters and green under clothes and, perhaps for the lady, 3 pair of red hose"
 That is the way a busy young re- porter describes a discovery he made recently at the knitting art exhibition of the National Association of Hos- iery and Underwear Manufacturers at the exposition building of the Com- mercial Museum.
 All varieties of the finished product in hosiery, underwear, sweaters, and knit goods for every purpose were on exhibition. Of course, the reporters discovery" is just suggestion, but well, one can never tell what styles will lead to.

Cord Tires
TO CLEAN SPARK PLUGS

An excellent method of cleaning spark plugs, or, in fact, any mica surface, is to wash them first in a 10 per cent solution of acetic acid, which is an infallible solvent of grease and carbon deposits. The plugs should then be washed off with gaso- line and finally dried by rubbing with a cloth.
The Coconino sun., 1919-08-15
HOMEMADE CEMENT

Four parts of iron filings, two of lime and fifth part or common salt mixed to a paste with vinegar make an excellent cement for spark plugs, for connection pipes, etc. When care fully mixed this cement will stand compression and heat and can be air dried.

"This snowstorm painting is very fine, indeed" said the critic to the artist "It almost makes me feel cold to look at it."

CAUSE OF KNOCKING

In motors with detachable cylinder heads great care should be taken to see that the gasket used to pack the joint does not project into the com bustion chamber. When this occurs the gasket is likely to become incan- descent, causing preignition knocks and even back firing in the carbureter

"Pm glad he knows it," said Miss

"Well, do you care who are your
