FOO. TRICK OF
.EvERY.0PE:RATOR
Good Percentage of Automobile
Owners Start Cars With
Brake Not Released.
TREAT GEARS VERY ROUGHLY
Pressing Starter When Motor 10
Already Going Is Also Common
Mistake-Better Plan is to
Touch

Every motorcar opera tor has his pet
"fool trick" even though he may pride
himself on. his careful driving. For
instance, it Is safe to say that good.
percentage of automobile owners start
their cars with the emergency brake
not completely released. This Is, Of
course, a bad practice, since 1t cuts
down the motors power and causes
excessive wear Of the brake Innings.
When Engine Is Unheard.
Did you ever think you had stalled
your motor and press the starter butt
ton when the engine was still going,
but its sound was drowned by traffic
noises? Chances are that you have
more than once; yet 1t is a Bad thing
to do, and doing 1t too, often will in.
time make 1t necessary to have the
starter drive or f1ywheel gear re-
placed.
A better plan before depressing the
starter button in such case Is to
touch the accelerator and listen to
see If the engine responds.
Every one has at some time or oth-
er tried to shift gears without throw
ing out the. clutch but few drivers
seem to have "a habit of trying to do
this impossible STUNT" Persistence
! in doing this chips of the teeth, and
will make replacement of the gears
J necessary.
Throwing Gears Forward.
Another bad habit in this connec-
tjon is to throw the gears into for
ward speed while the car is still NOV
ing backward or vice versa. This IS
ennivalent to trying to mesh gears go
Ing in opposite directions. Any one,
even not mechanically inclined, can
foresee what the result will be.
Last. but not least, is the careless
practice Of a few motorists in putting
the car in the garage for the night
and leaving the Ignition or lighting
switches on. A visit to the battery
recharging station the next morning
is the worst result. however, that the
motorist can experience for his neg

mercy of a poor tube. The difference
In tubes Is tremendous. A standard
make inner tube is built of almost
pure rubber and has strength Of
between one and one and one-half
tons per cross section inch. This
means that If the tube stock were
built up to square test piece one
inch thick and one inch wide, it would
be strong enough to lift from 1000
to 5000 pounds. Inferior tubes do not
have this strength and are highly COM
pounded.
Life Usually Long as Casing.
On an average it is possible to build
life into an inner tube only equal to
that of the casing. It is false econ
omy to use an old tube in new cas-
Z ing. Inferior and wornout tubes
should be quickly discarded. The tube
which has delivered full service dur
ing the life Of one tire is almost GER
tain to have developed slow leaks.
When a tube fails to hold air it lis
worthless.
AS a general average In all services
it has been found that pressure in a
tire properly taken care Of and when
a.good tube is used will decrease about
five pounds in two weeks. When this
ratio is greatly exceeded, the tube
shOuldebe examined without delay be-
fore the life of the tire is Slapped.
Valve Cap Should Be Tight.
1t Is well to remember that the cap
On the end of the valve stem helps to
make the tube hold air. Often when
the valve inside is leaking, pressure
may be retained without rapid de.
crease by screwing the cap on tightly
Its function is to assist the valve, and
its use is imperative. The washer Is
likewise furnished for a purpose and
should be used. 1t holds the valve

to bed. after the boots he was making
for Puss has been cut out and left OF

Puss asleep than two little elves from
the forest crept down the street OF the
quiet little town and peeped into the
window, and when they saw fuss
Juniors unfinished boots lying on the
cobbler's bench they whispered together,
and pretty soon one of them softly lifted
the latch on the door and then they
both tiptoed into the room and sat down
by the bench.
The moonbeams came in through the
little window and made it as light as
day. so the two little elves picked up
needle and thread and sat to work. And
after they had finished sewing they put
on the heels and hammered in the
wooden pegs as neatly as you please.
And last Of all, they sewed on the red
tops
Now we will leave letter in the
boots for this famous little cat" they
said. so they took a piece Of paper and
wrote on it:
"Heigh diddle dumping little Sir Cat,
These are seven league boots, please re
member that.
You will find you can walk as fast as a
train,
And your feet will keep dry even out in
the rain.
Remember that the elves have made them
for you,
Never forget this. no matter what you
do" -
And then the two little elves slipped
out of the door as softly as you please
and ran back to the forest.
Well when Puss and the cobbler came
down the next morning, of course. they
found the boots finished and ready to
wear.
Gracious me"' exclaimed the good
cobbler, those kind elves have made me
a visit. "Tis many months since they
were last here" And while he was
speaking Puss tried on the boots, and OF
course he came across the letter which
the two little elves had written So he
took it out and read it to the cObbler.
Gracious met exclaimed that good
man again. You have wonderful pair
OF boots. For better than l ever could
have made for you" And then he patted
Puss between the ears, just where cats

Puss began to purr, for. he was a friend
