TIRES
ON TRUCKS SUCCESS

Among welI-informed truck owners
there is no longer any question as
to the success of the pneumatic tire
for trucks, either in the matter of
durability or as an express saver.
The United States Tire Company,
which was the first tire manufac-
turer to turn out the big pneumatics
for trucks, follows carefully the rec
ords made by trucks using the big
Nobby Cords and finds that its pre-
dictions regarding satisfactory mile
age and economy of operation, especi-
ally in saving gas and oil and pre-
venting wear, are conservative.
The White Line transportation
Company, of Birmingham, Ala, has
turned in some records on tires Of
this sort used on three of its passen-
ger buses. ]. A. Propst, owner OF
the company, says that the oldest set
of tires has already made more than
$4,000 miles each and is still running.
Another set is still running with
1000 miles to its credit and the
newest set has turned in $4,000 miles
and is still in good condition.
Pneumatics are especially suitable
for passenger conveyances as the
comfort of passengers must be con-
sidered. The bus line which operates
on pneumatics offers as comfortable
a ride as could be had in a touring
car, an advantage which a bus
equipped with solids does not possess.

should be devoted to each tire. You
may identify II by the Manufacturer
serial number stamped on II.
1t is not enough to carry an extra
spare or two, pumped up. ami an eX-
ira tube or so under the rear seat.
Carry a complete patching OUTFIT and
q blowout patch and tire sleeve. They
take very little room and may save
a lot OF time when on q long trip. as
there is no telling how many blow
outs you may have on any one trip.
Great trouble is often caused by
demountable rims becoming bent or
warped so they do mot go over the
felloe band easily. 1t does not pay
to force the rim on with a hammer.
but an extra jack will do the trick.
Place the jack on the hub, using il to
force the balky rim upward. when a
few taps with the hammer will send
il over to the proper place. II one
has not a second jack at hand, the
rim and tire can be secured from
slipping by either a strap or a rope,
and then the jack from underneath
the axle can be removed and used as
a lever and then replaced. under the
axle so that the retaining Jugs may
be put in place properly.
The Washington times., 1919-06-14

According TO authentic statistics
there should have been produced p
100000 vehicles during the year 1918.
Because Of the war only 100000 We
hicles were manufactured. Just what
does this mean to the present bust
ness outlook? 1t certainly signifies
the increased potential demand. The
used-car market has been virtually
bought up. For more than a year
used cars have been selling at a
premium-at a higher price than that
for which they were taken in trade.
And another thing we must consider
II requirements. Authorities agree
and records have proved that the
average life of a motor car is five
years. With this information before

ALL IS BUSINESS
ON COAST ROADS

Although CALIFORNIA; wonderful
motor roads are much patronized by
tourists, they are utilized also to .
large extent for motor cars bent on
business. and the idea that the Sun
shine State Is merely a national
playground is not true" says H. S.
Daniels. advertising manager OF the
bort Motor Car Company OF Flint
who has just returned from . trip
to the Pacific coast
In q motor tour from Los Angeles
to San Francisco, Mr.. Daniels says
that practically every motor car
that his party passed on the road
gave some outward evidence that its
purpose on the highway was strict
~ business.
"This marked use Of CALIFORNIA;

to me that l remarked about IL to
The Washington times., 1919-06-14

Moving the tires forward as they
wear is one of the best ways to
prolong their life. II you start with
all new tires, run them for about
half their guaranteed mileage, and
then exchange front and rear. The
greatest strain and wear comes on
the rear tires, and so these should al
ways be the strongest and newest.
AS for the right and left sides, the
right wears first. because the road is
rougher, the weight OF the car is
thrown that way by the crown Of the
road. So move your tires forward as
they wear out in the following Sc
QUence: The new tire should be
placed on the right rear, then moved
to the left rear, then to the right
front, then TO the left front.
Your spare tire will be the newest
and least used. When a tire must be
removed for repairs you will use the
spare tire in its place until 1t is re-
turned, when it should go back to the
original position.
Keep a close tab on the mileage Of
each tire, as it will enable you TO de-
termine which makes are best, if you
are using your tires right, and also
give you a basis to argue from before
the tire adjuster. Note the speedom-
eter reading and the date when the
tire is put on and again when it is
taken of, and total these amounts
every time you make a change. A

repair man, but I forget them when
I consider the ills that are forced on
automobile tires by careless or indif-

You ought TO hear the tires tell
their troubles when they are brought
in here with all kinds OF things the
matter with them. Their appearance
tells the story all right. And, when
I have a busy day. the tires lament
is the very saddest Of choruses to me.

AUTO RACERS DEMAND

It is interesting to note that the
tires used on racing cars. like the
animals used by the ancisnts IN their
sacrifices, must be perfect No driver
will use q tire that has been repaired
for any reason whatever.

In comparing the costs OF trip
from New York to San Francisco by
rail with a similar trip by automobile
l believe it would be a fair estimate
to say that 1t would be 80 per cent
cheaper to travel by motor car.
Railroad fare including berths and
meals for four persons would amount
to about $3.50. The average expense
per person would approximate S162.50.
These figures would apply to four
men going direct from coast to coast
without stopovers. A sample expense
account follows:

Before starting on a journey OF

right kind of tools. They may come

The Sunset and Yellowstone trails

Can See the Primitive.
The Ell Paso, Yuma, and Santa Fe
trails are the most desirable winter and
spring routes inasmuch as they
cross the continental divide and coast
ranges at lower elevations. l consid-
er these routes the most interesting,
as more Indian and Mexican life is
seen and more primitive methods of
living prevail. This is more true of
the Santa Fe trail than any OF the
others.
The Lincoln highway or central
route is undoubtedly the most popu-
lar and the more travelled trail of
all, as it follows a more densely pop
ulated section of the country.
