Valve Stem Leaks.

That annoying trouble OF air
brake. caused by the thrush of air
between the valve stem and its
worn guide. which results in a di-
luton of the incoming charge TO
such. degree that missing takes
place and the motor runs irregu-
larry at low throttle. has often been
alluded TO. As a rule. the exhaust
valves guides wear more rapidly
than the intake. possibly because
the exh st valve runs hotter and
carbonize more freely Attempts
TO keep the intake valve stem lu-
bricated by frequent applications
of oil are more successful than
similar attempts made TO lubricate
the exhaust valve stems. since the
tendency in the former case is 10
suck up the lubricant along the
stem, and in the latter case to blow
it down away from the stem. Leaks
past the exhaust valve stem do not
affect the practical operation Of the
engine in the slightest degree, as
they merely give n small portion of
the exhaust gases a chance TO es-
cape into the air Such leaks arc
often neglected along after similar
leaks around the inlet valve demand
and receive attention. They do.
however. give rise TO noise. which.
in the case OF an otherwise quiet

In order 10 overcome valve stem

SUGGEST ONE TREAD
FOR FRONT AND REAR

Considerable discussion has grown
up recently about the selection Of
tires with the proper tread for use
on front and rear wheels.
Many tire companies recommend
the use Of non-skid tires on rear
wheels only and urge the use OF So
called driving" tires on front wheels.
These driving tires have either
plain or ribbed treads. and are rec
ommended for front wheel use be-
cause they steer easier than do non
skids with small or sharp projec-
tions

tire for an four wheels This tire

All classes of goods-lIght and frag-
lie, heavy and indestruCtible = are
hauled on trucks that are used in the
drayage business. In either case, the
tires that carry the goods are a mighty
important factor.
Unless the truck is equipped with
tires that actually cradle the car, and
thus protect the load, damage is bound
to result to the lighter, easily broken
goods. Miller tires do this, because
they are constructed with hundreds of
cords with this idea in mind.
And unless the tires are heavy
enough and sturdy enough to carry
the heavy material that is loaded onto
them, the user is not going to get real
tire service and real tire satisfaction
out of them
Miller tires with their tread that is
GEARED-TO-THE-ROAD and their
UNIFORM MILEAGE combine all of
the features that are necessary for
good truck tire.
Realizing that MilIer's gave his Gus
toners as we'll as himself the best tire
protection, Otto Schmidt, one of the
leading transfer men of the city, dis
carded solid truck tires and equipped
with GEARED-TO-TEIE- ROAD Mil
Ier's, and became the owner of the first
Dodge ton-and- a-half truck in the city
to be equipped solidly with pneumatic
tires.

commercial and private users they will
do for YOU.

Women Demonstrate "Carry on" Spirit


 No better example of the "carry on" spirit shown by all the indefatig- able women who have given their thought and time to war work than little episode that occurred a week ago at the country club. Unusually cold, pipes frozen and no convenient source of water did not daunt the hostesses, Mrs. C. s. Thompson and Mrs. c. H. Hunt. That was just a difficulty to be overcome by a car loaded down with cans and buckets of water (sad to relate water splashed dresses and shoes a little at each bump) a sack of coal and fire logs to make the great fireplace the more cheerful and not forgetting the tea and cakes. This should not discour- age future hostesses. but rather, be an example of "surmounting insurmount- able difficulties" as one of the host esses expressed it.
