CARE AND ATTENTION
REQUIRED FOR TUBES
Owner Wants to Avoid Inconven-
fence of Changing on Road.
When Small Cracks Can Be Observed
In Rubber While Stretched, It is
Indication That Tube Has
Outiived Usefulness.

"How am / to know when an inner
tube is done is a question I am ask
ed repeatedly" declares a tire dealer.
ut is the natural inquiry of a tire
user who has several repairs made on
his tubes and wishes to obtain the
utmost mileage from them, yet wants
to avoid the inconvenience of making
u tire change on the road, due to tire
trouble.
'In these times when economy Is
the order of the day, a tire user holl-
ing an old tube in his hand, can well
afford to ponder a minute before cast
ing it aside as Through
SIT Is difficult sometimes to deter
mine just when a tube is unfit for
further service, However, porosity in
a tube usually indicates that it has
attained its three score and ten. In
this stage of use, very small cracks
can be observed in the rubber II it is
stretched and examined carefully.
The next development is splitting
when the air pressure becomes too
great for the tube to bear.
"If the rubber in a tube is live 1t
may successfully bear as many patch
es as a beggar's coat. But due care
must be exercised in the vulcaniza-
tion Of the patch to the tube, that too
large a portion of the tube around
the patch is not cured. If portions of
the tube have been overcured In patch
ing operations, disaster is sure to fol-
low.
"I believe that the lack of proper
care of the tube is responsible for
most Of the troubles tire users ex-
p~erience. The observance of a few
precautions would help wonderfully to
eliminate these troubles.
"The absence of sufficient tale be-
tween casing and tube allows the gen.
Grafton of heat which ~vulcanizes the
tube to the fabric of the casing. Then
when you attempt to remove IL, II
tears.
'Much tube splitting is occasioned
by the slipping Of the tube between
the casing and the rim, which soon
results in n pinch The remedy is
careful applying.
at seems to me that the whole
problem Of obtaining maximum tube
mileage resolves itself into the sim
pie matter of taking care of 1t prop
erly."

transporting Cow to Market in a Trailer.

Worlds problems are being solved
by the motor truck, according to Will
liam Fulton Melhuish, president of
a large motor truck concern. Care
full gathering Of statistics by Mr..
Melhuish, consultations with .authori-
ties, have shown conclusively that 80
per cent of the perishable products
of the American farmers do not reach
the market.
"Motor trucks will ultimately fill the
bill and enable every farmer to get to
the market 100 per cent of his produc-
ton of perishable foods" said Mr..
Melhuish. "As America promotes its
road building efforts and improves the
highways the farmers will see the
light by millions and motor truck max
ers will never be able to meet the
demand for their product.
Work of One Man.
"Some days ago i learned of real
facts regarding the use of the motor
truck by one farmer. This man, liv-
ing only II miles from a big city. was
at the same time ten miles from his
nearest railroad. Inability to secure
shipping and inability to get his goods
to the railroad caused losses not only
to him but to other farmers.
HE was induced to use a motor
truck. At that time he had only $500
in the bank. He bought the truck,
took On work for his neighbors of
, 1919-04-03

hauling their produce to market, along
with his own, and today has three
trucks in operation, all owned by him
and paid for, and has $1,000 in the
bank. Neighbors whose work he orig
inally did finally became purchasers
of trucks and he o on the work of
others The neighbors likewise pros
pered and spread out. Today the orig
inal farmer, able to reach the mar
ket with his produce and dependent
only upon himself for the haulage,
has increased his acreage and is busy
with his own affairs largely, and max
ing more money than he ever thought
possible from farming.
Used Everywhere.
"Motor trucks are today being used
by farmers everywhere. Every day
we learn of dealers who have seen
the light and who are giving up the
hard work of selling in the overcrowd-
ed cities to travel to the farming pop
ulation and to educate them into the
mysteries, as they call them, Of the
horseless wagon. One successful farm
er using a motor truck is a recommen-
dalton equaled by no other that I
know, and the market created is well
worth while. On the other hand, the
salesman and the maker who inspires
that salesman is doing for humanity
a good turn, for he is accomplishing
wonderful results in lowering the high
cost Of living"

CAUSE OF RADIATOR LEAKS
Vent in Filling Cap overfIows and Be-
choked With Sediment
Steam Forces Opening.

A frequent cause of leaks in radia-
tors is that the rent in the filling cap
overfiows and becomes choked with
sediment. with the result that steam
accumulates in the radiator, and the
pressure seeking an outlet forces an
opening at the weakest point. A little
care Of the vent will remedy this trou-

An excellent method Of preventing

which the mixture is melted over a
