The Whole Secret of
A Better Tire
Simply a Matter of the Makers Policies

This you will realize -once you
try Brunswick-that super-tire
is possible only when the name
certifes that the maker is follow
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly mat
ter of standards and policies-cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per-
fection's price.
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for "a years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce
ments, plies and thickness are
matter of expense. And these vari-
ations affect endurance. 1t rests
with the maker how far he wishes
to go-how much he can afford

TRUCK MUST HELP BEAR
BURDEN OF RAILROADS

That the motor truck has an i'm
por&ant part to play in the trans
portation requirements of the nation,
is readily seen in the latest reports
on the railroad situation.
According to William H. Finlay,
president of the Chicago and North
western Railroad Corporation, 1.-The
railroads are at least four years be-
hind on normal improvements, and 1t
will take them that length of time to
put the. lines on an efficient basis"
Other Ailroad men estimate it will
take ten years, at a cost of one billion
dollars a year, to build the roads up
to the traffic demands of the country.
But in the meantime, the nations
transportation requirements cannot
wait for the railroads to bring their
efficiency up TO the country's needs.
The amount of freight is increasing
every week and must be moved, and
as in the past, so it will be for years
to come, the motor truck will be
looked to for taking care Of this
excess freight
Just as the motor truck met such
emergencies before and has proven
that Il is an economical, dependable,
and efficient transportation unit, so 1t
will continue in the future.

OIL PUDDLES HURT TIRES.

Oil has habit of collecting in little
puddles in the depressions in the ce-
ment floor of the garage. This should
be removed because the tires are al
most sure to get into it, and If you
let section of the shoe become soak
ed with oil, affected rubber will
soften and undue wear will follow.
The deterioration will be very similar
to that resulting when rubber is i'm
properly cured.-Motor Life Magazine.

AUTHORITY OFFERS SOME
HINTS TO new MOTORISTS

Always drive your car slowly and
cautiously until you are thoroughly
familiar with it's control mechanism
and the methods of stopping 1t. This
is Come of the advice given to new
car owners by writer in the cur
rent issue OF American Motorist,
Among other things, this writer says:
when driving up grades on the
higher ratios. II the motor shows any
tendency TO labor. shift back into
lower gear ratio which has been pro-
vided for that purpose. Many motor
lists believe that the best test of
cars ability is to rush all hills, or
bad spots in roads. on the direct
drive. 1t should be remembered that
the lower speed ratios were provided
for use at all times when employing
the third or fourth speeds might pro-
duce strains in the motor.
"One should never attempt to drive
cars at high speeds unless the tire
castings are in perfect condition and
the road surfaces good. In driving
on clay or muddy roads, or on wet
asphalt, care must be taken in turn
ing corners. and the car should al
ways be driven cautiously to avoid
dangerous side slipping or skidding.
When driving on unfavorable high
way surfaces always keep one side of
the car on firm ground IL possible.
Brakes should always be carefully
applied. especially if the road sur
faces are wet. An automobile should
never be brought to stop in mud.
clay or sand, snow or slush. IL it can
be avoided. Whenever road condi-
tions are unfavorable, the smooth
tread tires of the driving wheels
should always be fitted with chain
tire grips to insure having adequate
traction"

Entirely aside from constitutional
objections. the injustic" OF such a

To the extent that 1t is desired to

there is, perhaps, ample room for
broadening the scope OF the present
