LATEST IN TIRE SURGERY
"Traveling Repair School" Teaches
Newest DEVELOPMENTS Free.

AS an iraovation in the tire field
the traveli1g repair school claims the
latest honors. The school Is carrying
free to the yulcaniZers of the country
the newest developments in tire sur
gerry. Motorists are cashing in on this
in obta ming better tire repairs.
Car owners have heard so . much
about guarding against the. ills to
which tires fall heir that this first
attempt in a national way to get at
the root Of much OF the trouble is
awakening general interest. The pur-
pose underlying the lectures is to make
better repairmen through affording
them an opportunity to present their
particular tire problems for solution.
Tire dealers in the cities visited are
tive of the make of tire they handle.
In each city the sessions Of the
school are held in centrally located
hotel easily accessible to the automo-
bile district. There are both after
noon and evening meetings. Formal
addresses are followed by round-table
conferences. The meetings are valu
able not only from an inspirational
standpoint. but in spreading the gos-
pei Of scientific tire repair.
Among the cities visited have been

the demand Of motorists that the men
to whom they intrust their tires for
repair be thoroughly competent.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
FOR THE. AUT1OMOBZLLSTS
answer. to Last Week. Questions.

1. At least two things are necessary
to assure quick starting Of an engine
in winter. They are a good spark
and some means of enriching the car
buretor mixture when the engine is
cold. To obtain the right kind of
spark the entire ignition system must
be in good working order. which
means both good parts and their prop
er adjustment. and a battery always
charged To enrich the carburetor
mixture means of choking Off the
air supply to the carburetor Is nee
essary. and at the same time of open
ing further the adjustable needle
valve AS most carburetors have the
means of cutting off the air supply.
and many an adjustment which takes
care of operating the needle valve.
all that is necessary is to operate the
choke device located on the dash to
obtain the required mixture. Heating
of the carburetor mixing chamber or
inlet pipe to the cylinders is an aid to
the proper functioning of the engine

Car Owner Can. Prepare Solution
= There arc. three substances in gem
eral use for making anti-freeze solu-
tions,~ each of which can be prepared
by the owner himself and used with
out having to consult the professional
m achanic. Alcohol is probably the
most popularaof all anti-freeZe
agents; glycerin has proven very ef-
fective. but its cost during the war
made it's use almost prohibitive to
the ordinary owner. Calcium chloride
is perhaps the most easily prepared
solution of all and. for that reason, is
widely used. But to my mind it is
absolutely wrong. Calcium chloride
is a mighty dangerous solution to use.
The commercial product, sold in solid
form or in aqueous solutions as an anti
freeze mixture. is highly injurious be-
cause of the action on the compo-
nents of the cooling system. Such al

their harmful action on the metal.
