THINKS HALF S0LES
OF OLD TIRE WILL
GIVE LONG MILEAGE

His name is Jim Rynder and he
has always been a genius at convert
ing old and apparently worthless ar
ticles into things OF usefulness. His
fame as a handy man is known
throughout Greenwich. y. Y. and
the surrounding farming country,
His latest achievement breaks all
records and apparently solves the
problem. Of getting the very last bit
OF service out OF an automobile tire.
Jim has half soled his old working
shoes with pieces of the safety tread
and body of a Goodrich tire Il is
his contention that if these Goodrich
tires are guaranteed for 5000 miles
on an automobile weighing a ton or
more. there is no telling what male
age he will be able 10 get out OF
them with his weight only lao
pounds. He has figured this mile
age all the way from $4,000 TO 1oO.-
600 miles and is wondering II he is
going TO live long enough to wear
out his soles

lubricant. II follows that after =
car has been run 5000 miles there
will be excessive play up and down
or side play in the post and gears.
Most owners can make these adjust
ments themselves, but the cost Of
doing this work in the service sta
ton is so small that It should not
deter an owner from having his
work done there.
AS a final warning 70 motorists
for safety we might add that the
warning signal should always be kept
in working order. and when night
driving is resorted to, the light
should be powerful enough TO illumi-
nate the road surface TO such an ex-
tent that safety is provided for both
passengers and other vehicles.
One-half hour spent inspecting
and caring for the vital elements Of
control and signal will save con-
siderable, and may mean the saving
Of many lives should a control ele-
ment fail 10 function properly. In
conclusion, we might add that safe
" can only be provided by proper
inspection, and care OF control ele-
ments and careful driving.

Neglected fabrication.
Unlu bricated parts cannot work
freely and in nearly every case OF
hard steering il will be found that
fabrication has been neglected and
dirt and water has worked into the
parts which really need oil or grease.
Certainly no one would leave a mo-
tor run without oil. as most all
know what the consequence. would
be. If this is the case, why should
one expect the steering gear, which
is such a vital element TO the con
troll OF the car. TO go without lubri-
cation indefinitely. Failure 70 lubri-

Of oil constitutes a cheap and safe
insurance against the possibility Of

On the front axle and steering
mechanism will be found a number
OF small oil and grease cups. Ere
quently these jar loose and are miss
ed, and the holes are exposed to
water and dirt, which eventually
work into the bearing surfaces Ev-
cry motorist knows. or should know,
that grease cup should be turned
up, and the sooner he finds out when
each cup needs attention the sooner
the safety and efficiency Of his We
hicle will increase.
Adjusting Steering Gears.
In practically all steering gears on
modern cars there is at least one ad-
justment, and that to remove up and
play in the post This is usually
located in the upper end of the hous-
ing and takes up wear In the thrust
bearings or collars. Others are pro
vided with two adjustments. one for
the post and the other for the cross
shaft which carries the steering
arm. The drag link and cross rod
are provided with adjustments, and
should always be kept properly ad-
justed and fabricated.
In lubricating parts Of the steer
ing mechanism it should be remem-
bered that often the joints are ex-
posed to water and dirt, and it fol
lows that after a rain, water may
have made its way into the parts
which use grease. This applies parti-
cularly 10 the ball joints on the drag
link and cross rod. Even though
leather boots are used to cover some
of these parts. water will ge. inside
and sometimes destroy the effects of
the grease Should there be little
or no grease at these points, it
means rusting

WOULD GUST A
HUSBAND FROM
HIS OWN HOME
MOtorman is Fined 500 for Trying
to Take Charge Of AnOthers
Residence.

Tampering with another mans
wife is a very serious offense, es-
pecially if the husband happens to
know about it.
But even the husbands knowl-
edge did not deter z. ID. Reeves,
motorman for the Tri-City Railway
company. Reeves was rooming at
the home of H. J. Greb. 1923 Tenth
avenue. When Greb registered a
complaint against undesired con-
nections with his wife, it is said
that the motorman became indig-
nant at the idea and Immediately
proceeded to take supreme com
mand.
Greb testified that the motornan
tried to throw him out of his own
home, using rough tactics.
The husband decided that as no
results could be obtained by appeal
ing to the roomer with words he
you'd take the matter up with the
Tpolice. He did. and the result was
that Reeves was fined 500 and
costs yesterday afternoon by Po-
lice Magistrate d. ]. Cleland, the
fine being for disorderly conduct.
Wanted to Appeal.
Reeves again became indignant
2 6 the sentence was pronounced and
declared he would appeal the case
to a higher court. The magistrate
told him he would have to furnish
$1,000 appeal bond. Reeves then
decided that it would be easier to
pay the fine, and made arrange
nents to do so.
