FAULTY BRAKES
GIVE TIRE TROUBLE

Properly adjusted brake, and
clutches constitute one Of the short
cuts to tire economy. Auto owners
ffequently find upon investigation
that one brake band grips more
tightly than the other. When this
exists, the task Of slowing the car
Will fall on the wheel with the
tighter brake. causing the rear tires
to wear unevenly, and the owner
will be at loss to explain why one
casing gave him so much less mile
age than another.
Sometime you will find Improper
ly adjusted brakes on a new car.
But more often IL flows the taking
up Of the brake bands to compen-
safe for wear. If this task is not
done carefully, one band will be
tighter than the other.
The clutch that grips too sud
denly will cause excessive wear on
tires as well as put an undus strain
on the differential and o:her parts
OF the car. Aside from the big
question OF comfort, a car owner
Tor the sake of economy should al
ways see to It that his clutch er-
cages gradually and easily.

Finds Castor OF Helps,
Many automobile and tractor own |
ers find that they are getting better
lubrication results by mixing castor |

high speed engines not more than |

When your Ford breaks down on |

tow you with your clutch thrown

plugs and engage the clutch. Ths
reason for this Is that when the

clutch plates are close enough to
bind and heat up. which will tend
TO warp the plates and render them
unfit for further service.
