To route the trucks, an Intimate
knowledge is necessary OF the geo

ABOUT TRUCK TIRES
United States Company Tells
How to Get More Mileage
and Better Service.

Here is a set OF rules for truck
drivers on the care Of solid and pneu-
matte truck tires, formulated by me
technical department OF the United
states Tire Company for the beneht
OF truck owners:
1. All truck tires have a load limit.
Constant slight or occasional heaVy
oyerloads shorten tire life.
.. Distribute the load In the truck
body so each tire will bear It's pro-
portionate share Of the weight car
ried.
3. Overspeeding a tire has the same
harmful effect as overlooking. Keep
truck speed within prescribed limits
4. Know-don't guess-your infIa-
ton pressures. Proper initiation pres
sure IL as important as proper loads
and speeds.
3. Tires are limited In shock alb
sorbing power. Car, full, slow driving
on rough or rutty roads will reduce
tire costs.
G. Check your wheel align nent'
Tires cannot give full service II SUP
iected to the diagonal grind, result
ing from improper mounting or from
misaligned wheels.
:. Chains and other anti-skid de-
vices injure tires. Use chains only as
long as the traction wheels are lkc-
ly TO slip, and apply them loosely
s. Tires, especially pneumatics. are
cut or scraped occasionally by bent
tenders or imprope. built bodies
when the loaded truck travels over
rough places. Carefully watch the
clearance OF your tires.
0. Neglected cuts lower tire mile
age. Trim off lose slivers from the
solid tires. Mend the small ana re-
pair the large cuts in pneunatlcS
! without delay.
10. Turn corners slowly to prevent
tire strains. Apply power and break :
gradually to avoid useless spinnin';
or locking Of the wheels. Equalize
the brake adjustment. These are
common and avoidable tire abuses
II. Running In car tracks causes
tire to break down early. Avoid car
tracks.
IL Learn the correct method OF ap-
plying and dismoun'ing pneumatic
tuck tires. Flap and tube should TT
properly in casing, and casing ht
properly on a dented. rusty or dirty
, rim.
49, To avoid unnecessary strain on
pneumatics or fiat spots on solids
lift the truck weight from the til e.
when the truck is to be idle any
considerable length of time.

NEW TRIUMPH WON
BY LIBERTY MOTORS

Ford-built Liberty Motors carried
the four Army airplanes which on
October 20 completed the 5000 mile
Journey from Mitchell Field. Long
Island. to Nome. Alaska, and return.
The fleet was greeted over New York
City by a rotilla of forty army planes

returning planes touched their wheels

The Alaskan Flying Expedition.
