the back of the squirrel, so prepare for long, hard winter.
 Many motorists will soon put their cars in the barn for the winter and think no more of motor riding until about the ides of March.
 Many automobile tires will go into storage with thousands of miles of wear left in them, and car owners should take the few precautions neces- sary to keep them from damage while they are not in use.
 Here are some recommendation made by the service department of the United States Tire Go. to the motorist who wants to put his tires away and find them in good shape next spring.
 Wash tires carefully on outside to remove oil and other harmful sub stances.
 Remove tires from wheels and then wrap them in paper or old carpet. Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Heat, light and moisture are enemies of rubber.
 Cold has no bad effect on tires, bu: they should be properly housed.
 If tires are left on car, jack up the car, deiate the tires, and wrap them in covers.
 Don't let car stand on tires all win ter. To do so means weakening them in the parts that rest on!Nhe floor.

M0T0RTRUCK FEES DIFFER
No General Understanding Through out the Country as to Rate
 to Be Paid.

At the beginning of 1919 there were still 22 states in which motortrucks were registered at the same ratee pleasure cars. Recent years, however, have shown quite a general tendency to increase the fees required for heavy motortrucks. This increase usually is based on the weight of the truck, It's carrying capacity, or combination of its carrying capacity and it's horse power. However, there is as yet no evidence of any well-defined general goal toward which this movement Is tending. Some states are placing a definite maximum weight which may not be exceeded except in very special cases others are evidently relying on discouraging or limiting the use of very heavy trucks by making the regis tration fees so large as to practically prevent the realization of any profit; {; while still other states are making no serious efforts except to limit the weight of the wheel loads per inch width of tire. The terms motortruck and commercial vehicle, moreover, are very definite. In some states the term commercial vehicle as used includes all trucks, while in others only those vehicles used for hire are classed ds commercial.

considerably more than is the cost of fuel and oil. Heretofore the outer castings of tires have been made ur of combination of woven canvas fab. ric and hard rubber. During the past five years there has come onto the market new type of casing known as the "cord" tire, which is rapidly gaining favor with motorists, as they claim 1t Is longer lived than is the canvas fabric casing. In this new tire, instead of using a woven canvas fabric as foundation, there is used a series of strong cotton cords or string. The claim Is that these cords will not break us readily under the varying strains of country road usage as will the woven fabric. If one realizes that when the fabric is worn or routed out the tire Is useless, he will see the importance of having this foundation material of the very best which is available and which can be used.-Farming Business.

AUTOMOBILE NEWS
NEW AUTO TIRE FINDS FAVOR
Claimed by Those Who Have Used 1t to Last Longer Than the
 Ordinary Make.

Manufacturers of automobile tires are keeping right to the front in the motor car industry. Buying new tires to replace the old wornout and dam aged ones is one of the chiefest sources of expense in the ownership and operation of an automobile. Even with the lighter weight cars the tire cost per mile of travel is equal to, if not greater, than the cost of fuel and oil; with the heavy weight, high priced cars using the larger sizes of tires, the tire cost per mile is often

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 An extension conference travelling in automobiles Is an Idea from the West.
 At the sclose of the annual meeting of the California experiment station at Davis and the agricultural college at Berkeley, the agents from 34 counties and the assistant agents, the county agent leader and his assistants were joined by 91 farmer delegates repre- senting the county farm bureaus of the state. The entire party, compris- ing 151 people, spent seven days trav- cling by automobile from. Berkeley to Riverside. The delegation passed through II counties, of which have farm bureaus and 8 of which have resident county agents. In counties having agents, the agents occupied the leading car and conducted the party to. interesting demonstration work Short stops were made at which the county agent or the farmer on whose ranch the demonstration was being conducted, explained the method and results.
 Some Things Seen.
 Noteworthy things seen were poul- try and bee demonstration work at Santa Cruz, stock judging at Salinas and Lankershim, the Jim Jeffries and Lucky" Baldwin ranches in Los An geles county, fire-fighting apparatus at Santa Paula, seed-bed preparation at the Camarillo ranch, pruning of april cot trees, citrus pruning, the artesian well and drainage project in Orange county, spraying demonstration in wal nut orchard, citrus-bud selection, and poultry culling.
 Meetings were held each night at the farm bureau center in the county the party was visiting. The resident coun- ty agent explained in detail the work under way in the county and farm bureau members discussed subjects
The Coconino sun., 1919-11-07

in which they were interested. The delegates considered the advisability of state farm bureau federation and recommended to the county farm bu- reaus that such an organization be formed at later date.
 The party was entertained by the local farm bureau at dinner and sup per at almost every county passed through, while in southern California the visitors were repeatedly met at county lines by committees of women, and boxes of oranges were literally poured into the automobiles. The trip closed, after covering 937 miles, with a banquet at the mission inn at Riv- erside. sights" were neglected in or der to attend the work of the confer ence.
 Benefits From Trip.
 The farmers participating were unanimous in approval of the plan. The automobile cost was met by the college of agriculture and the farmer delegates paid their own subsistence expenses or 1t was met by their farm bureaus. Aside from the practical val ue of the demonstrations and farm practices observed the whole tone of county agent work In the state was improved. Farm bureau officials re- turned home with an enlarged outlook, the county agents saw demonstrations and organizations work under va- riety of conditions, and the people of the counties visited were given an enlarged vision of the state and na- tional extent of the work.
 While such an extended trip is pos sible only where roads are highly im- proved, the idea seems to be an excel. lent one, department of agriculture of ficials believe, and similar or less am- bilious trips doubtless could be planned in a number of the states with real value to the extension organiza- tion and work.

easy by the use of a simple tool that can be made by any car owner. Take pair of round -jawed pliers five or six inches long. File notch on the inside of each jaw near the end and then reduce the diameter of the jaws until they will slip into the holes in the ends of the split washer. With this weapon it is easy to remove the washer. Simply hook the end of the pliers into the holes, close the pliers to contract the washer so that it may be drawn out of the groove, when it is easy to slip it out by running a screw-driver point around the edge.

EVEN SLIGHT BUMPS
 OFTEN DO DAMAGE

The average car owner does not realize how slight bump may have a disastrous effect on the cars mech anism. A motorist recently found a case where comparatively slight bump against the curb bent a rear axle shaft and this in turn caused ex- cessive wear of the inner face of the right roller bearing, so that the entire bearing had to be replaced.

A LEGAL TURN

The following is told of late rail- way magnate and a prominent Phila- delphia lawyer. Said the magnate to the lawyer:
 "I want you to show that this law is unconstitutional. Do you think you can manage it?"
 Easily" answered the lawyer.
 "Well, go ahead and get familia. with the case"
 T'm already at home in it. l know my ground perfectly. It's the same law you had me prove was constitu- tional two years ago."

UNBLEACHED MUSLIN
 MAKES GOOD COVER

A dust cover made of unbleached muslin, large enough to cover the car with the top up, is good investment. When proper shelter can not be ob- tained you can depend upon this cover to protect the car from rain, sun or dust. It may be folded and placed under the rear cushion.

When setting a high-tension mag neto it should first be seen that the proper cylinder is in firing position; that is, both valves closed and the piston brought up to the highest point which can be ascertained by running rod or wire through the spark plug or petcock opening. When this point is reached the motor should be backed up one-eighth of stroke, which is where the spark should occur when the spark lever is fully advanced. If it is desired to throttle the motor down very low the spark plug points should be opened until they are fully one-sixteenth of an inch apart.
 1t is very important that regular inspections should be made of the leather coverings or ''boots," which protect the universal and other parts. Flying stones or stocks are apt to de- stroy these boots, permitting the lu- bricant to leak out and give entrance to dust and dirt. Look them over once a month anyway.
 A labor saving way of keep the rear compartment of the Ford car clean is to cut out pieces on eithe, side of the car where the cross-pieces are placed, each cut-out being just the width of one of the floor boards. Next bore hole in the floor board just big enough to get the finger in, so that it is simple matter to lift the floor board out whenever necessary and 10 sweep out dirt, mud and general litter as need arises.
 Pipeclay acts as preservative of rubber and makes one of the best mediums for treating the rubber mats used in automobiles. Oil and grease are rubber solvents and ruin the floor mat if they are allowed to remain on them. The mats should be wiped quite dry and then pipe-clayed. The pipeclay dries and sucks the oil out of the rubber.
 The brake mechanism seldom gets the fabrication it deserves. Oil is re- quired on the pins supporting the brake shoes and upon the bearing points of the cams or toggle mechan- ism which actuates the brakes. These parts usually depend for fabrication on the hand oil can. Beginning at the operating lever, every joint in the brake rod needs occasional oiling, as do the bearings of the compensating shaft.
 The average car owner does not re- alize how slight bump may have a disastrous effect on the cars mecha- nism. The writer recently found a case where a comparatively slight bump against the curb bent rear axle shaft, and this in turn caused excessive wear of the inner face of the right end roller bearing, so that the entire bearing had to be replaced.

WET DISTRIBUTOR
 WILL CAUSE A MISS

Intermittent missing is sometimes caused by moisture or grease on the ignition distributor face. The cur rent runs across the surface of the water or grease instead of following its proper course. It is a good idea to give the distributor a cleaning at frequent intervals.

SURFACE BLOWOUTS

Surface or Gum Blowouts do not occur as frequently as ordi- nary injuries. The tire has sim ply been punctured, as is evil denced in the photograph, showing the inside of the casing.
 You will note that while the puncture is in the center of the tread, the blowout has occurred on the side of the casing.
 Usually the air would escape through the puncture, but some- times, as in this instance, it pene- trates the fabric, following along the fabric plies until it comes out between the outer ply and the rub Der tread. Then seeking the point of least resistance, it accumulates on the side where the rubber is the thinnest, really forming an air pocket, and giving this point

LEGLESS MAN DRIVES CAR
Travelled Long Way to Show Gratl.
tude for HospitaI Work.

Though he has no legs, Nat L. Mil
gram of Philadelphia motored to AL
toona, Pa, to thank friends for what
they did for him when he was a pa
tent In hospital there two years ago.
Milgram was member of Col. George
Kemp's Third regiment when II was
sent to this section for guard duty just
after the United States entered the
war; While sergeant of the guard at
Farhope, Somerset county, he was run
down by train and both legs were
crushed below the knee. He was
treated at Cumberland and later at
Altoona and then sent to his home in
Philadelphia.
Equipped with artificial limbs, he
walks very we'll. While driving to the
home of Rabbi Moses J. S. Abels, not
being familiar with the streets, he at
tempted to descend steep avenue not
used by autos and his car was wrecked
but he escaped injury.
When Milgram returns to Philadel-
phia he will take up the study OF law.
