AUTOMOBILE DON'TS

Don't let oil, grease or gasoline
remain on your tires. They all
destroy rubber. Wash only with
pure cold water and little soap.
Don't keep a spare tire out of
use too long. Change over Occa-
sionally. A tire lasts better in
use than exposed to the sun and
rain on the running-board or sus-
pended at the rear.
Don't let your rims get rusty.
Common stove polish will keep
them in good condition.
Don't let the weight. rest on a
debated tire. Jack up the wheel
or remove the tire.
Don't let your aXles or rims
become bent. If your wheel
doesn't turn free and true, your
tires will suffer.

On the line Of the fracture, drill ana

cach hole being drilled partly into the
previously inserted copper plug, $"
that when all of the plugs are placed
in the cylinder casting they form
continuous band OF copper along the
line Of fracture. The copper plugs
should now be pPened down ana
