GEORGE VERKAMP GIVES
 ADVICE ON BROAD THREADS

Marrow treads on tires mean break downs to the side walls for those who drive their machines on country roads where it is impossible for the driver to keep out of ruts, says George Yer. kamp, manager of Babbitts' Garage, local Diamond tire dealer.
 Side walls were not constructed to withstand wear and tear, and were not intended to come in contact with the road surface. They are made of an extra high quality rubber, and their chief purpose is to lend bounce and residence.
 Thousands of tires destroyed pre- maturely because country roads and lanes are used not only by the A,rm- CT, but as we'll by the town and city motorist. As tires roll along through trough of sand and gravel, the side wall grinds away until the fabric car cass of the tire is either wholly or partially exposed, thus allowing water and other substances to enter the body of the tire to commence deterioration.
 Motorists are commencing to real ize the increased service and added mileage in tires with broad tread sur faces.

truck is guaranteed to carry half again as much as it's rated capacity, it is safe to assume that the truck s springs are too stiff for rated capacity and therefore throw abnormal shocks Oh the mechanism of the truck.
 Frames are frequently called on to withstand the shock of drop over Q beam or from curb of some five or six inches. Overloads multiply the impact to as high as ten times the normal stress. Frames designed to resist such strains would be entirely too heavy and impracticable.
 Of all possible abuses to solid mo- tor truck tires, overlooking is the most disastrous. Owners should make sure that their trucks are equipped with tires sufficiently large to take care of the greatest loads their trucks will be subjected to. Trucks are ire quently loaded so that heavy articles are piled up near the tailboard while the forepart of the body carries little or nothing. In such cases the rear tires will be found to be carrying an overload, although the total load is well within the trucks capacity.
 Overloaded trucks quickly destroy or injure brakes. The average driver is used to seeing his truck slow down at certain rate, and if ordinary pres sure will not accomplish this, he will apply extra pressure. And in emerg- encies stops must be made in a cer- tain distance regardless of momen- tum. In such cases the brakes must be applied with grinding pressure.
 Overlooking causes overwork of the transmission gears and shafts, with subsequent undue wear and tear and a shorter life. The engine is affect ed in like manner. There is addi- tional strain on the crankshaft and the connecting rods, the gas explo- sions are more violent and the engine

SAFETY FIRST

First, assume that you must look out for yourself and the other fellow, too. Don't rely wholly on the other fellow dO- ing the right thing. and you'll be on your guard if he does the wrong thing. and ready for the emergency.
 Do not cut the corners in turn ing, but keep we'll to your side of the street and look both ways before you make the turn.
 Put out a hand as a guide to the car following or approach ing.
 In passing a slower moving vehicle, pass 1t on your left, but in passing a street car always keep to the right.
 Do not follow another vehicle too closely. It might stop sud denly.
 Dim your lights when ap- preaching another auto on the road. Use common sense at all times and you'll save trouble for your self and the other fellow.

MAKES QUICK TRIP ACROSS
 CONTINENT IN A FORD CAR

Across the continent in eighteen and one-half days is the record of c. F. Philbrick, of San Francisco. Trav- cling in Diamond tire equipped Ford, MT. Philbrick, accompanied by Mrs. Philbrick, made the trip recently from Binghampton, N. Y., to San Francisco, according to George Yer kamp, manager of Babbitt's Garage.
 During the trip the Philbricks en- countered some of the worst motoring conditions in the United States, and travelled over roads that were little better than trails, to say nothing of grueling detours from the main line of travel. In spite of this the Diamond tires with which the car was equipped in Binghampton did not once leave the ground for repairs and only received two infations during the entire 4,S00 miles.
 The car was equipped with light truck body in which was carried a camping outfit. This, together with other luggage, constituted load of 1 100 pounds. In view of the load carried and the speed maintained the trip is an unusual demonstration of tire performance. Mir. Philbrick says the tires are good for many more thousands of miles.

TIGHT PISTON RINGS
 WILL SAVE YOUR POWER

Losses through leaking piston rings commence with the suction stroke, when there is vacuum of as much as ten pounds per square inch, slightly decreasing and debasing the incoming charge. On the compression stroke the leakage increases under a pres sure of as much as sixty or seventy Bounds. On the power stroke the pressure is quadrupled and here occur the greatest losses through leakage. The moral of all this is to keep the piston rings in condition to perform efficient service.

PREMATURE TRUCK BREAKDOWN BROUGHT
 ON BY OVERLOOKING

The most disastrous of all abuses to motor trucks is overlooking.
 Every vital part of the truck is affected by continuous over-taxation of its rated strength. Overlooking means undue stress and strain and re- suits in premature breakdown. These points and many others of great value are presented to the operators of motor trucks by the B. F. Good rich Rubber Co.,, as a part of their campaign for greater economy and ef- ficiency in motor vehicle transporta- tion.
 By avoiding the more common abuses to which motor trucks are sub jected hundreds of truck owners will realize period of service two, three, or five times longer than they now get through neglect and carelessness, says Goodrich. Overlooking truck continuously has the same effect as running truck with a capacity cargo up steep grade day after day with out let-up.
 Every truck built has "factor of safety" or margin of strength above its rated capacity--its maximum car rying capacity. In some trucks this margin is more generous than others, but it was intended for emergency use, for strains are certain to occur in the life of any truck. But it is hard for the operator to resist the tempta- tion to put on little more" and get the same results that another is get ting from more expensive truck in vestment.
 The parts of a motor affected by overlooking are the axle, the tires, the wheels, the springs, the frame, the brakes, the transmission and the en- zine. Not only will repair bills pile up, but the truck itself will be prema- turely consigned to the dump-heap by the evils of overlooking.
 The axle may be gradually fractured and finally break with the truck owner attributing it to defective material. Overloads, together with momentary speeding cause fractures to widen and often months are consumed before the breaking point is reached. Bending strains are only one phase of the eff feet of overlooking on axles. When brakes are set firmly the wheels and the rear axle become one, and the action against the road tends to cause the wheels to continue to revolve. The brakes, however, bind the wheels to the axle, and thus it is the axle which resists the turning of the wheels. When the trucks are over loaded greater friction against the road results and the tortion on the axle is approximately twice normal. Another axle strain augmented by overlooking is that which occurs when truck swerves from it's straight path resulting in a strain caused by the heavy loads resistance against skid ding. This bending stress must be resisted by the axle stock itself.
 The wheels, too, are subjected to a terrific strain by bending strains. A wheel is designed to resist vertical strains, but it was never intended to withstand big pressures literally.
 The springs suffer a gradual and progressive deterioration from over loading. If any one claims a certain

the other tests the wheels to insure even braking power. One may very easily and successfully adjust the brakes with the use of jack, as shown in the illustration. The jack A, with block, B, to protect the seat, is placed between the seat and the brake pedal c. The jack is applied to the desired pressure on the brake pedal, and the proper adjustments made.-Koerner Rombauer, Prescott, Ariz., in Popular Science Monthly.

CLUTCH IS
 DOING GREAT HARM

The car owner should remember that when the clutch is fierce in talk ing hold and does not have slight slip, the mechanism that transmits the power from the engine to the drive wheels, particularly as regards pinions, universals and gear teeth, re- ceives destructive strains.

BUTTER WILL REMOVE
 SPOTS FROM VARNISH

The best substances with which to remove spots from varnish, such spots as are made by road oil or tar, is butter. The stronger the butter the better. It should be laid over the spot and be permitted to stand for half an hour, when it will soften the material and allow it to be removed with piece of cheesecloth.

DON'T USE WIRE IN
 CLEANING RADIATOR

Many truck drivers clean mud from the radiator by poking it out with a wire. This is wrong, because it takes too long and because some damage may be done to the structure of the radiator. Play gentle stream of water through the radiator from the rear outward, so that the water will not get into the engine compartment, and possibly cause trouble.
The Coconino sun., 1919-11-07

Shackle bolts or spring bolts may be made self -lubricating by drilling six or eight 3-16-inch holes in new pushing and packing them with graphite. The hrles must be repacked about once in six months.

 Truck owners will stop serious leak in their profits by avoiding over loading. It is the simplest and at the same time the most important abuse to remedy. It is not technical prob lem and is not complicated.
