Concerning Rims and
Rim Devices for Autos

There is in general use today
three basic types of rims, the fixed
clincher, the demountablc clincher
and the straight side. There are vari-
ations of these, such as the universal,
which is 2 side ring type, converti-
Bile from straight side to clincher
merely by reversing the side ring.
The fixed clineher type is used on
only one make of car, the Ford, and
the writer understands that the
greater part of the present produc-
ton is going to come through with
demountahles. The demountablc
clincher is used to.some extent and
is an excellent type. 1t is simply an
ordinary clincher rim, with which
soft bead clincher tires are used, but
instead of being fixed to the wheel
the rim is held in place by means
of the usual Jugs. The split rim is
the>type generally used for straight
side tires. This type is traversely
split and the ends are locked to-
gether so that there is no possibility
of them coming apart. The universal
rim is fitted with detachable side
ring by means of which it may be
made to accommodate either straight
side or clincher tires.

every drop of fuel supplied.
"The manifold carrying the car
buretor is bolted directly to the
cylinder block and the inward pas
sages are given downward slope
from the carburetor through the
valves. Perfect conditions for
starting are assured since the raw
gasoline flowing from a checked
carburetor must prime every cylin-
der in the most effective way. The
combination of gravity flow of the
mixture and the hot manifold in
sures perfect distribution and COM

ate the motor at the most efficient
temperature which is clearly indi-

the inside with a plate, doing away
with the necessity for the unsightly
radiator covers seen in winter on

Low Grade Gasoline Often
Causes Motor Knocks and
Fouls the Spark

Z with the tremendous increase in
the consumption of gasoline and the
consequent reduction in its quality
the fuel problem is becoming of
greater importance every day to the
automobile owner" declared Guy L.
Smith today.
ITO understand the situation it is
necessary to remember that the au-
tomobile motor is operated by heat.
that it is the expansion Of the hot
gases in the combustion chamber
that moves the piston. The prob
lem then is to extract as many heat
units as possible out of the fuel that
is taken into the cylinder.
"1n the early days this was COM
paratively easy, as the gasoline sup
piled then was highly volatile and
was easily vaporized into an in
flammable gas. AS the demand for
gasoline increased. however. the sup
ply proved insufficient and had to
be supplemented by the addition of

"The result was exactly the same
as though you tried to burn heavy

bile engine the heavier fuel refused
to vaporize properly. Part of it
was burned, part of it formed car
bon and fouled the spark plugs,
while some leaked past the piston
rings into the oil in the crank case,
destroying its lubricating properties
The outcome was burned-out
bearings, fouled spark plugs, the for
nation of excessive carbon in the
cylinders, hard starting, waste of
fuel, low mileage, loss of power and
knocking motor. To remedy these
evils engineers resorted to various
methods of applying heat to assist in
the vaporization of the fuel, realiz.
ing that the 1ow-grade gasoline
available would supply more heat
units than high-grade fuel and fur
nish more power if these heat units
could be extracted.

"The result may be seen in the

which during the past few months

Auto Batteries and
Tires Are Alike; Both
Need Careful Watch

The tires mat relieve your car
from the shock of the road, and the
storage battery that supplies current
for lighting and starting are similar
in several ways to Elmer Rosengren
of the Nebraska Storage Battery
Company.
It's easy to see that there is a re-
semblance between the air held un-
der pressure in the tire and the cleo
tricity held ready for service by the
battery. In both the tire and the
battery you are depending on COM
mon but. invisible forces.
OF all points of similarity between
tire and battery. however, the
strongest is that of care required.
Your tires, for instance, may go on
mile after mile without giving you
bit of trouble. Then on a little
stretch of rough road there may
come a pop" and you're on a fiat
tire. The tire was good tire up to
the minute it blew, and could have
been repaired at small cost; but for
weeks, perhaps, that spot may have
been wearing deeper into the casing.
These conditions are closely paral-
leled IN the storage battery with
lectricity instead of air as the force
to be held in check; and the insula-
ton in place of the tire casing. When
the battery is new the insulation is
petfect just as new tire casing is
frsee from flaws. As time goes on
some slight weakness may develop.
# you watch your battery these can
be taken care of at very small cost
and no sefious troubles will come
up.
No matter how perfect your tires
