Mount Tire Evenly
on Rim and Save
Your Valve Stem

Why valve stems pull out OF inner
tubes even when the tire has not been
run flat, has caused considerable argu-
ment among car owners. The solution
is simple one and lies in evenly
mounting the tire on the rim.
In placing tire on rim, the tube
valve stem is inserted in the hole in
the rim provided for it. Then the cas-
ing is, ordinarily, worked on the rim
by successfully prying It over the
edges. This stretches that part of the
tube where the prying is started and
works an accumulation Of surplus OF
tube at the end on the other side Of
the valve stem.
When the tube in this condition is
inflated it cannot adjust itself, being
stretched beyond a normal tension on
one side of the valve stem and loose on
the other side. When the latter side
strikes the ground first the over
stretched side exerts a heavy pull on
the valve stem. This results, accord
ing to tire experts. in a blowout from
a pulled valve patch or torn tube.
If the tire is run the other way so
that the strained part Of the tube hits
the ground first, there is a slight tend
ency to relieve the excess strain. In
such case, the tube will probably last
for a considerable distance.
Many motorists have noticed this
condition in an excessive wrinkling in
some part of the tube. The one and
only reasonable preventive is to apply
the tire on the rim evenly, working
from both sides of the valve stem. In
this way there will be no more stretch
and pull on one side than on the other.

Although the farmer class is the heav-
lest buyer of automobiles, yet it is
safer to predict that one of the great
markets of the future will be the city
dweller who longs for the comforts and
sound living conditions Of suburban

In addition to these new buyers
there will always be an army of car
owners replacing their wornout vehi-
cles 1t has been estimated in the
past that the average life Of a car
is five years, and. roughly speaking,
an examination of the statistics shows
that the replacement business each
year has come fairly close to the pro-
duction of the sixth preceding year.

Outlook for Coming
Year Is Bright One

According t othe symposium con-
ducted by the Motor and Accessory
Manufacturers associ4tion. the follow,
ing are expected to. be the prlnclpai
tendencies and characteristics OF the
automotive industry during 1921:
1-Stimulation Of business following
national automobile shows.
marked revival Of buying about

3-Greater emphasis upon economic
utility Of passenger cars and motor
trucks.
4-More conservative and prudent
business methods.
5-More aggressive and Intensive

6-Large normal replacement Dus1-
ness.
|Greater efficiency and economies
in production and management.
S-Growing Importance OF automo-

Skidding Harmful
to Heavy Trucks

Skidding or locking the brakes and
sliding the wheels causes serious dam
age both to the trucks mechanism and
the treads of the tires. Drivers should
be taught that their trucks will stop
quicker if brakes are applied gradu-
ally Improperly adjusted brakes will
sometimes cause one wheel to lock, re-
sulting in section Of the tire being
ground or torn off. AS soon as truck
starts to skid it should be steered il
possible in the direction of the skid
Abrupt turning of corners has the same
effect as skidding, increasing the strain
and wear on the tires.

First Class Lock
on Spare Tires Is
Economy in End

Tires are pretty expensive things to
trust to cheap padlocks. To the aver
age person Of honest proclivities, 4
paddock Is paddock, and that il all
there is to it. But the crook the kind
of an individual who gets away with
your spare tires when you leave the car
standing in the street even for a short
time, all padlocks are not padlocks.
Some are easy picking.
The point is that it does not pay
to use cheap paddock to protect the
spares. Get good lever lock which will
not open when gently tapped by an
experienced manipulator.- The kind Of
paddock that is acquired for the equiv
alent of couple of carfares is not the
kind to use as. a guardian for anything
SO expensive as an automobile tire.
This is q case where economy and
cheapness do not go hand in hand.

Automobile . 'Firsts'

The first New York automobile sho"
was conducted in 1900.
In 1898 gasoline sold for six cents
gallon.
The first four cylinder car war
brought out in 1900.
In 1896 Barnum & Bailey announced
that they would exhibit horseless
carriage.
In 1893 General Nelson A. Miles
Chauncey NJ. Depew and John Jacob
Astor were judges Of the second auto
mobile contest in this country.
There were only four automobiles
in the United States in 1895.
In 1906 one of the leading tire com
panies made 25 tires day-now AZ,
600.
The first long distance auto tour
from Cleveland to New York was made
in 10 days.
The first transcontinental run from
New York to San Francisco was made
in two months.

Cuts in Solid Tire

pecially in a circumferential direction.

wolves and the injury becomes worse.
Neglected cuts have often developed
to such an extent that they have

prevent the continuation. of a cut on
the edge of a tire bevel it off with a
sharp knife.

Here's Way to Join
Driving Chain Ends

The easiest way to join the ends OF
a driving chain is to jack up the rear
wheel and then engage the links OF
one end Of the chain with the teeth
Of the countershaft sprocket. II the
rear wheel is then turned until it is
possible to engage the first link Of the
other end of the chain with that tooth
Of the sprocket which brings the links
to be joined together, and if the wheel
is turned back far enough so that both
ends of the chain are held on the
sprocket, it will be an easy matter, es-
pecially if a small center punch IS
used to line up the holes and insert
the connecting pin or bolt.

HAVE YOU A TROUBLE LAMP7

HAVE YOU A TROUBLE LAMP
There should be trouble lamp with
a good length of wires as an integral
part Of the car.
The most important aid trouble
lamp could give would be to light a
wheel for tire changing. One with a
magnetic base exists. The current
which lights the lamp magnetizes a
little iron button in the bottom of the
socket, so that the lamp can be stuck
against any steel part of the chassis
and will hold itself there Failing this
refinement, little screw lamp could
easily be designed which would fit on
almost anywhere.

Water and Little
Ammonia Is Best
to Clean Leather

Never use gasoline or kerosene to
clean leather upholstery. because such
treatment will crack it. Water to
which little ammonia has been added
is as good as anything for getting the
dirt of, and brisk rubbing with a
soft cloth is all that is needed to re
store the shine after the dirt has beer,
removed. If you wish, you can soften
the leather and assist in preserving it
by applying good leather dressing.
Nothing is better, however. than a
mixture of turpentine and linseed oil
for treating the leather. Mix these in
the proportion Of two parts Of the lin
seed Oil to one of turpentine.

SPARK PLUG POINTS.

A spark will not jump as great a
distance between the spark plug points
under compression within the cylinder
as it will outside Of the engine, because
the compressed air and gas mixture
form better insulator to electricity
more voltage is required to penetrate
compression, and a closer setting of
the points is necessary within the cyl
inder.

WHEEL FULLER

An ordinary jack may be used in
an emergency as a wheel puller. The
rope is passed around two opposite
spokes mad then over the top Of the
Jack. When the power Of the jack
is applied off comes the wheel. In
certain cases it is necessary to use
a block or some similar object be-
tween the bottom of the jack and the
axle.

Growth Of Auto
Making In America

For 20 years the making OF motor
vehicles in the United States has been
gaining steadily. One exception is to
be found in the year 1918 when the
producers Of passenger cars voluntari-
Y curtailed their output in order to
make airplanes, parts and other in
struments of war. Here is the record:

CLEAN SPARK PLUGS

It is advisable to clean and readjust
the spark plugs occasionally. The
points burn away gradually, and if not
readjusted cause irregular firing. The
motor will also throttle better ut slow
speeds if the plugs are kept in proper
condition.

Don't Run Solid
Tires on Car Track

Injuries resulting from running
solid tires in car tracks are serious
and readily apparent. The construe-
ton of solids does not permit ready
distribution of part of the load strain
to the rails lower flange, SO the maj
or portion is carried upon the section
running on the car rail with the re-
suit that it is quickly worn and broken
away. The injury is not confined to
one or two spots on the tire, but ex-
tends around the entire circumference,
eventually leaving the tire reduced by
one half to carry the full load.
