In certain parts of these United
States-we won't mention any names
you will find some pretty bad roads
some OF them almost impossible
for motor cars in wet weather.
party of motorists encountered sec-
ton OF the northern part of one OF
the central States where the soil rs
sandy and their heavy touring car
had hard time negotiating the
roads, particularly as considerable
rain had fallen just before their COM
ing. In many instances the sandy
soil was 80 soft as to come up over
the tires and almost to the hubs,
often preventing sufficient traction to
enable them TO keep going.
But the driver was ingenious. and
hit upon an idea that may be Of
value TO others who encounter similar
difficult and well-nigh impossible
roads. SO we will pass IT along to
you. He procured a roll OF ordinary
chicken wire wide enough TO cover
the tread OF the car and whenever q
bad spot was reached, the men of the
party proceeded to unstrap the roll
from the rear of the car and unroll
it over the bad piece OF road. Then
they would run the car over this wire
and laugh at the mud. The wire pre-
vented the wheels from sinking down
into the soft mass. acting somewhat
the same as snow shoes do when
travelling over the white wastes. It's
a bully idea, don't you think so?
Universal Imitation Pressure Table.
There is no use worrying about the
small discrepancies which one Will
find in the imitation pressure tables
of the different tire manufacturers.
They are all near enough for all prac-
teal purposes. Some manufacturers
tell you to put so pounds pressure in
30 by 3h-inch tire, whereas others
will vary this to SIS pounds or even
so pounds in some instances. Then
there Is also a difference between the
proper pressure for fabric and cord
tires. the latter requiring q lower
pressure than the former.
Therefore, the standard scale OF IN
flation pressures and loads as adopt-
ed by the tire and rim division OF
the Society OF Automotive Engineers
is the most convenient bit of data to
keep, as 1t gives the recommended
pressure for any size of cord or fsbrI"
tire, and saves you the trouble OF re-
fering to as many different chaI t.
as you have different makes OF tires
on your car Here 1t is:

Fabric Tires

A number of the States have head
light laws now, which are more or
less carefully observed by mortorists.
The latest State to fall in line with
this non-glare legislation is Pennsy-
lvania, which has adopted law re-
curing that headlights must be suf-
ficiently powerful to illuminate the
road for a distance of 200 feet in
front OF the vehicle. Light bulbs OF
more than 80 candlepower cannot be
used. however, and all lights exceed.

no dazzling rays OF light will rise
more than forty-two inches from the
ground on which the car stands at
point seventy-five feet or mere
ahead OF the car.
This regulation was adopted after
numerous tests and is considered to
be sufficiently restrictive against
glazing rays that motor vehicles Will
be enable to pass one another in
safety on the country roads. While
every State does not have some
such require II woNd be well for
motorists In every locality to test
out their headlamps to see II they
meet with these requirements. II
they do, then the car owner is rea-
sonably sure that he is not endan-
gering his life and that OF the other
fellow whom he must pass on the
road. To test the lights. measure
Off a distance OF seyenty-five feet
from the side of building and then
drive the car to that point. so that

Now measure the height of the light

sense.
We would advise the motorist 10
give particular attention to the light
ing problem, because IL is becoming
vastly important. With 5000. 900 carr
running over our roads we have to
be careful at night. 1t isn't like ii
used to be in the old days, when the

must show consideration for them,
and the best way we can do this IS
to be sure that our own lights do
not dazzle. Surely II one is careful

complies with them. it will make for
general safety.
Another bit OF caution: In some
States and in Canada spotlights are
forbidden. Therefore. If the authori-
ties in your state are lenient in this
respect, be careful.
