Severe Strain Can Be Reduced
by Changing About From

PUNCTURE TROUBLE IS LESS
Time, Labor and Money Can Be Saved
to Owner of Car by Following Out
Rotation System Which Has
Been Well Tested.

If he will change tires around in the
manner described below, a motorist
can make them last far beyond the
usual mileage. This is done by reduc-
ing the strain on the tires as they e
away SO that the newest tire is placed
at the point Of greatest strain and the
Oldest n at the point where the
strain is least.
1t is evident, even to a casual OBJ
server, that the rear tires wear out
more rapidly than those Of the front
wheels. This is due to the strain of
driving through the rear wheels, let

comparing the right side of the car

Changing the Tires According to the
System Hero Explained VIII Mean
a Saving.

sometimes these wheels must leave the
road altogether. There Is more likeli-
hood of meeting broken glass, metal,
and other objects on this side. Then
there is more weight on these wheels
because the car is tipped more to that
side on account of the crown of the
road. Therefore it may be stated as a
general principle that the rear tires
wear more than the front mes and the
right ones more than the left.
Starting with all new tires 1t will be
evident that the right rear tire will
show serious wear long before the left
front tire has got I'VE its newness. At
this point the two should be ex-
changed. 1t is difficult to state just
when this change should take place;
possibly 1t Is best left to the dlscre-
ton of a driver. II a "non-skid" is
used, the change should be made be-
fore the tread is worn so smooth as
to lose its protective feature. At the
same time the other two tires should
be exchanged, to keep matters even.
After a few thousand miles more we
enter the second phase. One by one
the tires will wear out and not even
vulcanizing can save them. They
must then be moved up in the sequence
shown. Supposing the left front tire
Is discarded, the right front tire takes
its place; the left e a tire I've for
ward and the right rear tire takes Its
place. The spare tire is placed on the
right real wheel, the point of greatest
strain.
Of course, If some tire is to be re-
moved temporarily for repairs, 1t will
be replaced by the spare tire instead
Of moving the rest forward, and as
soon as returned 1t is put back in its
regular position.
BY following the above system you
will not only make your tires last
longer. but you will have less trouble

ANTl-FREEzE AGENTS
FAVORED FOR WINTER
Most Motor Makers Recommend
Alcohol and GIycerin.
Three Substances In General Use
Which Can Be Prepared by Owner
Without Consulting Any Pro-
fessional Mechanic.

This Is the open season for anti
freezing solutions, and car owners will
save themselves much annoyance and
considerable expense IL they will but
heed this warning and take ordinary
precautions.
There are three substances in gen
eral use for making anti-freeze solu-
tiUns, each of which can be prepared
by the owner himself and used with
out having to consult the professional
mechanic. Alcohol is probably the
most popular Of all anti-freeze agents.
GIycerin has proved very effective, but
IFS cost during the war made its use
almost prOhibitive to the ordinary own
et. Calcium chloride is perhaps the
most easily prepared solution Of all
and. for that reason, Is widely used,
but it is q 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 %components
of the cooling system. Such alkaline
solutions are productive of an cleo
trlcal action wherever two dlssimllar
metals are utilized, such as the brass
tubing of a radiator and the solder
used at the joints, the iron wafer jack
cts and the brass or copper plates.
A summary Of the opinions Of motor
car manufacturers as to the value Of
various anti-freeze solutions shows a
decided preference for alcohol and
glycerin. Neutral alcohol does not act
on metal or on the rubber connections.
But the alcohol in the solution will
evaporate more rapidly than the wa
ter.

Woods Has Plan for Paying
Taxes Which Would Relieve
the Embarrassment.

Whether n special session Of the
state legislature will be called by the
governor for the purpose of extending
the time limit for payment of adval-
Drum taxes in 1922, depends upon the
demand made for such an extraordi-
nary session. but in the opinion of
Senator John Carlock OF this city IL
will not be for that purpose alone,
other matters might arise that would
lend strength to the demand for an ex-
ira session, but he does not think that
it will be done for the purpose Of ex-
tending time for payment of taxes.
Senator w. II. Woods of Purcell has
addressed a letter TO Governor Robert
son setting forth many reasons why
a special session should be called, and
relieve the taxpayers who will be un-
able to meet all or even half of their
taxes when due January lst, OF the IS
