KNOWING HOW TO
STOP AN ENGINE
Of More Importance to Driver
Than Knowledge of How to
Start His Automobile.
GREAT AID IN SAVING TIRES
Applying Brakes Very Hard Will Re-
suit in Tread Damage to Both of
Rear Tires-Sharp Turns Are
Cause Of Skidding.

Knowing how to stop when neces-
sary is considered of more importance
than Il knowledge Of how to start the
engine. The use of service and emer-
gency brakes is taught to the new car
owner early.
Being somewhat nervous and timid
the new driver may apply the brakes
very hard. with the result that one or
both of the rear tires will receive
tread damage. Locking the wheels
will not under all conditions bring the
car to an immediate stop. The mo-
mentum and weight will frequently
cause the wheels to slide along for
considerable distance and grind off
the tread of the tires In the same man
ner that street cars receive fiat spots.
A Stitch In Time, Etc.
When ground down to the fabric in
this way the tread should be given
early attention to protect the fabric
from decay and weakening effect Of
moisture and to prevent dirt from
working under the rubber with prob
able separations of other tread por
tions. 1t is well to inspect the inside
of the case and repnlr any threads or
plies Of fabrics broken from strain.
Sharp quick turns or fast driving at
curves usually causes rear wheels to
slide and skid sideways This not
only wears off the tread rubber quick
ly, but on account Of the unusual
strain is particularly harmful to the
fabric body of the tire.
1t is recommended that the service
(foot) brakes be given occasional in
spection. Any difference in adjust
ment in brake drums can be discov-
cred by jacking up rear axle so that
neither wheel rests on the ground.
then start the engine and engage the
clutch. If on application of the foot
brakes one rear wheel revolves and
the other does not, or II one wheel
revolves faster than the other, the tire
on the one turning slower receives
more strain and under the circum-
stances excessive wear to the tread
rubber may be expected.
Watch the Clutch.
The clutch plays an important part
in the efficiency of the car and in the
service OF the tires. 1t Is essential
therefore that the same be kept in
good order so that 1t will take hold
smoothly when gears are engaged.
Usually the taking up Of loose bear
ings and frequent lubrications will OBJ
tain the desired results. Avoid letting
in the clutch too quickly while the en-
gine is running fast-such treatment
is not good for either the car or
tires
Spinning the drive wheels in mud
or on slippery pavements may grind
off the tread rubber and some times
snag the cover along the entire wheel
circumference. 1t is not unusual for
the tread under such treatment to be
torn in places from the fabric.

CHARLES BOERNER RETURNS
TO BECOME CIRCLE AGENT

c. A. Boerner, who has been in
the employ of the Northern Com
mercial company most of the time
since the early Yukon days, as navi-
gator and agent, arrived in Nenana
on Saturday from San Francisco,
enroute to Circle, to take charge
of the company's store at that place.
He will relieve Agent Whitman,
who has been transferred to the
Dawson store.
Like others who have returned
to Alaska during the past few weeks
Mr.. Boerner says things are pretty
tough in the States, with many out
of work and prices not much low
er than during the war days. And
he predicts that prices will con-
tinue high until labor costs have
been lowered materially.
The automobile industry has been
very hard hit by the slump in buy
ing. Numerous of the big plants are
entirely closed and others are work
ing only part time. There is very
little demand for new machines, and
used cars are for sale all over the
country for very low prices. Many
people who bought machines when
work was plentiful, now find them
selves forced to dispose of them at
almost anything they can get.
Mr.. Boerner went to Fairbanks
today and will go over the trail to
Circle. He was stationed at Iditarod
last year and was attached to the
San Francisco Office of the company
during the winter.

not gone far when he noticed that
the street was not well lighted and,
at about the same time, he was ac-

addressed some question to him,
followed by the pressure of a gun

produced some small change and in

was looking for place to buy :,

man returned the change and gave
Jules a quarter, in addition, to pay
for nights lodging. And all the
