The warranty is to be printed on

companying tires, etc. much in the
same manner as the former so-called
guaranty was used That portion
of the warranty that covers the
change in policy toward adjustments
reads as follows:
we do not guarantee automobile
tires for any specific mileage, but
every pneumatic automobile tire
bearing our name and serial number
is warranted by US to be free from
defects in workmanship or material
Tires claimed to be defective
will be received only when all trans

when accompanied by this COM
Tany's claim form duly filed out
and signed by owners. If. upon ex-
animation, it Is our judgment that
the direct cause Of the failure of
the tire to render satisfactory serv-
ice is attributable to faulty mate

our option, either repair the tire or
replace il for a charge which will
compensate for the service rendered
by the returned tire. based upon its

'tKICKLESS" AUTOS
HAVE BATTERIES
WITH READY KICK
Blasts of Cold Winter
Should Warn Car Own
ers of Pending Danger.
By H. CLIFFORD BRoKAW.

With the coming Of the shorter
days and longer nights that go with
cold weather. a frequent complaint
heard by the garage men and the
electricity expert has to do with the
battery The owner wonders why
the lights fail every once in a while.
or why the horn refuses to honk.
He IL apt to find out that the bat
terry which is more difficult to keep
charged in the winter. is getting
weak
A driver recently found his lights
would not work right when his car
was rum e. Starting out there
was light. but after running short
time there was trouble. The lamps
were fitted with dinners and these
would not work at all times; some
times one would light and the other
fail. lie went to the garage repair
man and then the dinners would
not work at all. He went to an
electrician, who looks over the bat
terry and declared il 10 he all night.
but on the ground that he WAS
battery expert and not wiring cv-
pert he could not say why the lights
would not shine and tho owner had
visions OF stern policemen and the
possibility Of having To face traffic
judge. and he sought advice else
where.
Troubles Keep Growing.
In the meantime his troubles mul-
tiplied. The horn-electric refused to
honk at times and got so that -
worked only after the car had been
running half an hour or SO.
While trying to determine Tho
cause. questions asked by an expert
developed the fact that the owner
was employed during most OF N"
day and only ran his car nights. eN-
cept that he was making long trips
on Saturday and Sunday. and ran
quite late into the night both days
During the week nights his trips
were short. with numerous stors.
This caused frequent use Of tho self
starter. He found il took longer to
4 start the engine. a natural result OF
1 the cooler weather.
These facts suggested that the
/ battery was being starved. that Is.
that il was not getting enough
{ charge to keep il at its best. There
seemed to he no trouhe with tho
4 wiring and the owner was told he
3 had better have the battery charged
and see II his troubles did not end.
They, did.
His trouble was tina, he did most
of his running At night and as he
carefully observed the speed laws
consequently the generator did not
generate very much extra current
and the battery was being recharC-
/ cd at very low rate and Iofne

To Extinguish Fire.

Almost every one knows that a
gasoline or oil fire can not be put
out with water. which will only
sperad the flame and make matters
worse. The only way to extinguish
such blazes is to smother them, and
it has been found that flour, sand
and dirt are the most effective
agents for the purpose.

When your car develops a squeak
one is very apt to overlook it. be-
lieving that il is of no Consc-
quence. However. squcaks may be
symptoms OF something far more
serious and you should earnestly hunt
them down, just as soon as they
make their presence known. We
shall try 10 indicate what these
commoner noises are and tell how
they may be detected and eradi
Gated.
start With Engine.
We shall begin with the engine
because this is the seat of the
greater part OF the unnecessary
noises that seem inevitable in the
operation Of the car. The common
and slaps. both OF which may be
detected by the rhythm!cal regu-
larity of their occurrence.
The reason for noisy gear opera
ton is too great clearance between
the valve and its seat. In the case
of overhead valves too great a
clearance between litter and push
rod will cause the trouble. The
remedy Is obviously the reduction
Of the clearance to the correct dis
lance while the engine is heated.
because OF the expansion of metal
when heated, in which condition
the valves necessarily run.
Occasionally noise in the gear
system is caused by the litter being
loose in its guide. To locate this
trouble the entire litter assembly
will have TO be removed. A worn
litter will have to be replaced.
though in certain designs the
guides may be sprung slightly so
that they will grip the lift more
tightly and this remedies the
trouble.
Another Location.
Another possible location of
noisy operation is at the cam, be-
tween which and the follower there
may be too much clearance. FIT
ting new followers usually takes
care of this trouble. Worn valve
stems or of the springs will enable
the operator to locate trouble at
this point There should be no side
MAY of the stem in tho guide and
IL this condition is found to exist
bushings should be fitted in the
guide. or else new valve with an
oversize stem should be installed.
When the valve system is of the
overhead type IT is natural to look
for more noise than in the conven-
tional type. Adequate fabrication
will do much to remedy this trou-
b1e with the overhead system. Oc-
casionally side play develops in the
rocker arms with a slap as a re-
sult A worn arm bearing also will
make trouble. and the cure in this
case is to fit an oversize bushing in
the rocker arm.
Valve system.
While the valve system is the
commonest seat of noise troubles
in the engine it Is not the sole
location where this trouble may be
looked for. The bearings in most
engines are of soft metal. which
must be kept copiously fabricated
or il will burn and flatten out with
a knock as the result. The ordi-
nary remedy for this is to take up
the bearing by removing the SHIN
between the two halves. or else to
trim the metal on the movable
mart. Care must be used in per-
forming this operation to see that
the bearing touches the shaft all
around without being too light.
In fitting bearings the utmost
care must be exercised to see that
the shaft is not thrown out of
alignment. and this condition IS
particularly likely to result where
