MOST OF WEAR IS
 INSIDE OF THE TIRE

Some tire authorities make the as- seltion that 75 per cent of the wear to which tire is subjected occurs on the inside, unseen by the eye. The average motorist gauges the extent of the wear of his tire by the exterior appearance of the tread. If the tread only was subject to wear and deterio- ration tires could be retreaded time and again--in fact, there would be no limit to the amount of mileage the casing would give, declares z. A. Bis esonnette, of the Reliable Auto Spring X Supply Co.,, distributor of Norwalk tires
 Upon the interior construction of a tire depends it's life. The fabric lay CTS in fabric casing must be so constructed as to eliminate separation as far as possible. In order to give longer life to Norwalk fabric castings the various layers of fabric are held together by a network of small rub Der rivets, a rivet extending through one fabric to another through the tiny crevice at each intersection .of the strands. There are 529 of these rivets to each, square inch of fabric on every ply, and there are thousands of these rivets in each casing. It is only a rare occurrence that we hear of q Norwalk fabric having separation trouble.

THREE THOUSAND
 STARTERS A DAY

Ten months ago the Ford Motor company was not manufacturing cleo tric starters; today the output of its starter department is greater than that of any other manufacturer of electric-starting devices in the world It's nearest competitor makes 1000 a day, whereas the Ford company's out put is over the 5000 mark, according to George Verkamp, manager of the local branch of the Ford Motor Co.
 The Ford starter-and generator for it is really two separate units is not the result of a new idea or a sudden decision. More than eight years ago Henry Ford's vision saw the need, and his electrical engineers were instructed to begin experiment. ing. After seven years of constant research, which took into considera- tion the many different climates in which the Ford car is used, together with the factors of size and weight and an adaptability to quantity pro- duction, twenty-three trial jobs were built. These were tested in many diff ferent ways. MT. Ford himself used one on his car for year. Still the eHGlHeeTS COHtlIlutV experiments and improvements.
 Then came the order from the gov ernment for 15,000 three-ton tanks, each one of which was equipped with two synchronized Ford motors. A starter was essential, so the one now being installed on Ford cars was evolved. But only one starter and generator was used to turn over the two Ford motors in each tank. Jan uary 1, 1919, the Ford Motor Go. be- gan equipping inclosed cars with this new starting and lighting system.
 The Ford engineers say that al- though the entire system-starter and generator - weighs only thirty-one pounds, it produces a higher torque output Constant rotary motion) pound for pound than any other sys- tenn on the market.
 When the department for building the starting and lighting systems first began production, fifty hours labor was charged to each unit, but now that machinery and equipment have been installed, the time per unit is four hours. Two huge armature inn pregnating ovens have been installed each with capacity of l,700 every eight hours. In these ovens the arm atures are dried, soaked in varnish and dried again. Eight hours time is required for this one operation.
 The power from the starter to the motor is applied through the we'll known Bendix drive, which automati- cally engages the starter and then, once the motor is started, the starter immediately disengages. It is equip ped with oilless bearings and needs practically no attention.
 Within another sthirty days or six weeks, the Ford company expects to be making enough starters so that

BULL DOES A FORD
 JUST TO SHOW HENERY

Just why a particular bull grazing on a side hill in Santa Ana canyon one day recently should entertain so sincere dislike for a black Ford tour ing. caf is mystery. He may have had gastritis or a bad liver, or he may have disliked all automobiles or all Fords.
 Anyway, when the Harris family of San Pedro drove their Ford around the base of that side hill, Friend Bull snorted, slapped his tail at an imagiA- ary fly, missed it, of course, saw red, and for want of something better to do, decided to engage the Ford in mortal combat. There wasn't much of a fight. After the bull had turned the Ford upside down in the road, he was much better satisfied with himself and strolled into the shade of a nearby tree to view his handiwork.
 The members of the Harris family had not been hurt seriously, so they mobilized forces, rolled the Ford over onto it's wheels, cranked it-and con- tinued their .journey.--L. A. Times.

AUT0M0B BILE NEWS
BUYERS OF TRUCKS
 ENTITLED TO "SERVICE"

Responsibility for service begins with the truck manufacturer, devolves upon the distributor and the dealer and also rests to some extent on the man who buys the truck" declares z A. Bissonnette, of the Reliable Auto Spring & Supply Co.,, distributor ot the Republic trucks.
 "In the first place, the distributor and the dealer should carry all motor truck parts, so that each may be in a position to render the service that a truck buyer has right to expect at all times.
 Service does not mean that the truck purchaser is to get something for nothing; but it does mean that a dealer or distributor should be in a position to deliver immediately the parts that are needed to keep the truck in operation at the market price. For when the truck operator can not get the part he needs promptly, he loses money.
 "The man who owns a truck plays a very important part in the service he obtains. If he overloads his truck, neglects to oil it, neglects it in any way, he is making good service im- possible. Without his cooperation, manufacturers, distributors and deal CTS can not give him what he expects good service.
 "The term service as applied to motor trucks is likely to be ambigu- ous to many persons. Good results are naturally expected in the modern truck, even though present day de- mands are far in excess of anything in the past It is one thing, however, to get good service at the start and quite another to be assured by the truck dealer that this same service is going to continue. Motor trucks are no longer a novelty, and the standard of construction and durability was never higher than today. The experi- enced business man naturally expects much of his truck. While he is aware of the dangers of abuse, and espe- cially of the danger of overlooking, he expects his truck to withstand the ordinary wear and tear of every day usage, to meet with hard knocks and perform its duty economically and ef- ficiently.
 ''If truck is doing good work, the dealer should know about it. If it is not doing good work, it is up to the owner to tell the dealer so, for it is up to the dealer to see that the trucks performance is consistent with his claims for it. In this way the owner can cooperate with the maker, the dealer and the distributor in get ting the service he is entitled to re- ceive."

BONE.DRY SHOW IN CHICAGO

Chicago's national automobile show in January is going to be "bone dry" for Chicago even went bone dry in advance of the national law. Chicago has been swept by a simeon, which is described as "hot, dry wind" and visitors at the show have little to look forward to. Many had believed that at show time there would be "wet spots" in the Windy City, but apparently all must give up thoughts of any laxness in the future, because through raids and prosecutions drinks with "kick" have gone off the mar ket to stay.

PROTECT THE TRUCK
 AS WELL AS LOAD

When pneumatic tires for motor trucks first appeared the strong point in their favor was that they afforded protection to loads of perishable and breakable goods. It was not long, however, before it became evident that pneumatic tires were protecting the mechanism of the trucks and making possible great savings in repair bills. Pneumatic tires are now operating successfully in many kinds of service that it was formerly thought would not be reached for years.

FORTIFY THE BATTERY
 BOX AGAINST ACID

When the storage battery is carried in a wooden box there is always trou- ble from the acid stopping over and eating the wooden box. Wood may be made proof against acid by painting with a mixture made of six parts wood tar and twelve parts resin. These in gradients are melted together in an iron kettle, after which eight parts of finely powdered brick dust are stirred in. The surfaces are first thoroughly cleaned and then painted with this mixture warm.

TALCUM POWDER WILL
 CLEAN THE CLOTHES

Grease or oil spots on clothing may be cleaned, if they have not been al lowed to stay too long, by sprinkling the spot with talcum powder, which should be we'll rubbed in. After the first layer is rubbed into the cloth sprinkle more powder over the spot and let the garment stay for two or three hours. This gives the talcum a chance to soak up the grease. Then brush the spot briskly with stiff brush and usually the offending stain will depart.

AUTO STEALING IS
 GAINING THERE, roo

That motor car stealing is not only becoming much more prevalent, but that much greater percentage of machines are permanently lost is in- ,dicated by report just completed by James Higgins, Buffalo chief of police. From January 1 to October 15, this year, S75 cars were stolen in Buffalo, an average of more than three day. Of these but 565 have been recovered. The value of the stolen machines is S292 300, the value of those recovered, $232 500. More of the larger and more expensive machines were recov- cred than the lighter and cheaper cars.

LONG STROKE WITH
 HAND PUMP PROPER

In the use of the hand tire pump the average motorist makes the mis- take of pumping in short, quick strokes. The proper method is to pull the handle up all the way and then force it clear down to the bottom of the pump. This gives benefit of the full volume of air, and the longer strokes are much less tiring than the short, jerky ones.

BLOW UP TANK TO
 REMOVE THE DENTS

The amateur mechanic is often pug zled as to how to remove a dent from a tank. Solder a tire valve to the filler cap and then pump air into the tank, meanwhile tapping lightly all around the edges of the dent with a leather mallet. The pressure of the air in the tank will push the dent out even with the rest of the surface with the help of the mallet taps.

EXCESSIVE OIL WILL
 LEAK OVER THE BANDS

Truck drivers often report that oil is leaking into the brake by an ex- cessive amount of oil in the differen- tial housing. The excess oil is forced through the axle tubes and eventually gets to the brake bands. Some truck axles have a small drain fitted near the outer end of the tubes, while in others the interiors of the shaft hous- ings are fitted with tubes, which catch the oil before it gets to the brakes. In any event, keeping the oil level in the housing correct will prevent most of the leakage.

It is estimated by American motor truck manufacturers that more than 125,000 trucks will be made during 1920.
The Coconino sun., 1919-11-14

Drivers or the men in charge of this class of work, should be compelled to give the tires a daily cleansing. Mud should be washed with a little water, a sponge not too wet being used. Not only is this good for the tires, but is enables easy detection of small cuts and abrasions, which should be re- paired at once before they have any chance to become larger.

Brake rods or other rods beneath the car sometimes slap against each other or against other metal parts. To locate this trouble have one person drive the car while another sits on one of the forward lenders and listens for the noises. If the horn is gripped tightly and the rattles cease it is req sonable to blame the horn.
The Coconino sun., 1919-11-14

The driver of truck or converter using pneumatic tires must be careful never to leave the end of tire valve uncovered. If the cap is lost a bit of leather or rag should be fastened over the stem with string or a rub Der band. If dirt or grit is allowed to enter the valve, trouble will result.

There is no need to tell the old driver that railroad tracks should be crossed diaganally to ease the jolt which is bad enough at best, but the new driver will save himself some shaking up by needing this advice. Again, it will be found advantageous to drive up long, steep grades in the country, where traffic is light, in a series of zig-zags, as teamsters do. This lightens the grade and helps the motor.
