MOTORISTS SHOULD DRAIN
OIL OF CAR FREQUENTLY

After driving a new car approx
mately a thousand miles. the wise
motorist will drain all the oil out Of
the engine, give it thorough clean
ing and refill with fresh oil. This
operation should be repeated every
thousand to fifteen hundred miles
service to clean out all particles of
metal, grit and sediment that may
have accumulated.
Tires deserve similar treatment to
preserve their life and enable them to
give maximum mileage.
At the end of every $500 miles
service, a tire should be debated, dis
mounted, soapstone and grit removed,
and the inside of the casing washed
with gasoline. After drying, the in
side should be busted with tale, the
tire mounted and the tube charged
with fresh air.
During this oeration a close inspec-
ton should be made of the tread for
cuts and fragments of glass. accord
ing to Miller tire experts. The rims
should be cleaned of rust and painted.

LEAKING INNER TUBES
SAP LIFE OF CASING
Poor Initiation Robs Tires ot
Many Miles of Service.

A leaky inner tube is the parasite
of tire mileage. Even "slow" leak
will handicap a tire and sap the life
OF the casing. In a few miles under
initiation will rob the tire of many
miles of service.
Leaky inner tubes come from a va
riety of causes. 1t may be that the
valve plunger is worn or sticks; the
lock-nut at the base of the valve stem
may work loose; or running flat may
honeycomb the inside of the casing
with tiny holes.
In running a tire soft or in chang
ing it along the roadside, foreign
substances get in between the rim
and beads and work around next TO
the tube. Particles OF rust off the
rims also cut the tubes oftentimes.
Though these holes are, as general
rule, too small to be seen by the
naked eye, yet under pressure they
will leak enough air to let a tire
down fifteen to twenty pounds pres
sure in a weeks time. according to
Miller tire service experts.

Of a Job for most drivers.
In descending a slippery grade OF
great angularity, SHIFT to second or
first speed, and IL occasion should
arise that complete stoppage is neces-
sary, apply the brakes slowly. Harsh
application usually starts a skid. AS
a matter OF fact, all very steep grsdey
should be descended in lower
gear. Many drivers go down In
neutral and depend solely upon the
brakes; others remain in high and
do no cut off the ignition. The ig-
milton switch should be turned to
off position.
The tractive effort or ability to
pull is greater the lower the gear.
therefore, slippery upgrade, which
when dry can be negotiated in high

Advice As to How to Avoid Skid
ding on Steep Grades'in
Rainy Weather.

1t is in a moment of carelessness
or forgetfulness that serious acci-
dents happen, especially>v lth the new
driver, writes Walter Shields In
Motor. Even drivers OF years eX-
'perience are momentarily frightened
when on a steep grade another driver
coming onward seems TO handle his
car in an inexperienced way. few
weeks ago the writer saw eight new
cars completely wrecked on state
road, all within a distacne of forty
miles. Each accident resulted on a
slippery grade and during a slight
rainstorm. If transforms and grades
interfere with the safety of passen-
gers because of the drivers lack OF
knowledge OF driving under such con-
dNions. he would better start prac-
ticing on unfrequented roads.
1t Is quite logical to suppose that
a car running at speed and suddenly
checked will skid or slide II the road
is slippery. The brakes may tie well
adjusted and the rear tires may be
non-skids, but IL the speed of the car
is great enough, slipping will take
place. Knowing this, the new driver
should run as slowly as necessary to
avoid this slipping. So soon as 1t
starts to rain and the road is slippery,
try to stop the car in ten or twenty
feet If it skids or slides too much,
cut down the car speed and try
again. All roads are not alike. and
rain affects roads differently. Make

GEORGE MILLER HAS
VERY NARROW ESCAPE

While laying out the body of Frank
Guthrie at Crested Butte, Wednesday,
Undertaken George Miller had q very
narrow escape from death. Mr.. Mil
Ter had several containers on the table
beside him, containing both water and
embalming fluid with formaldehyde.
Mr.. Miller had been in the room 10
long and was so accustomed to the
odor Of the formaldehyde, that when
he picked up glass, he did not know
he was drinking the poison until hc-
had taken several ounces. He Instant
ly realized his mistake and ran for as
sistance. DR.. Taylor Of the Buttes,
and DR.. Walker, Of Gunnison, who was
there at the time, worked for over two
hours before the sick man was out Of
danger.
This is the second time that Mr.. Mil
Ter has had this happen to him. lille
working on body twelve years ago,
in Denver, he swallowed poison, think
ing It was drinking water.
At present Mr.. Miller is feeling
all right from his experience. it was

Frank Guthrie, weigh boss at the
Smith Anthracite mine, above Crested
Butte, was killed Tuesday. Mr.. Guth-
rie was preparing to weigh q car Of
coal and was trying to push the car
on the platform. It had been storm
ing all day and the tipple was very

thirty-five feet above the ground and
while falling, he struck brace with
such force that it broke his neck. No
one saw the accident, but this is the
only way the officials can account for
1t.
Mr.. Guthrie's home was in Silver
Creek. Nebraska. His only relative,
a sister. is expected in this morning
to take the body back to Silver Creek
for burial. Mr.. Guthrie was 48 years
of age.
He was an ex-service man, having
been q regular with the army IN

his years as 40, but he evidently was

Town MUST FIX
own STREETS

The county commissioners at their
meeting last Saturday were approach
ed by q large delegation of Gunnisqn
citizens, headed by H. H. Fogg, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce, and
E. M. Eourse, town attorney, and ask
ed to set aside thousand dollars of
county road money to assist the town
in repairing streets, particularly along
the Rainbow Route.
The request really came to Commits
sioner Geo. L. Miller, since the funds,
if appropriated, must Of necessity
be taken from his district. Mr.. Miller
was unable TO view the matter as put
by the town officials and the Chamber
Of Commerce, and stated that thel
county rosds were themselves very
short Of money this year. The $780,
10000 appropriated for the Rainbow
Route from Sapinero to Cimarron,
will be paid, half by the government,
one-fourth by the state and his district
must furnish $22, 500. Also, the state
has decided that $1,000 should be
spent upon the Rainbow Route west
from Gunnison to Sapinero, and hel
must meet this dollar for dollar.
Again, $500 is appropriated for the
road from lola to Powderhorn and
some on the road to Almont, making
$29, 500 in road money which he must
meet to save state and federal ap-
preparations, without figuring in the
other roads Of his district for 1920.
As he can figure on collecting but

this is problem in high finance. Mr..

the year spent over Q thousand dollars

Nevertheless, Mr.. Fogg and his as

stating that the town people pay in

been getting not q cent back. The
town only has available come 800 of
