SELECT TRUCK
TIRES WITH CARE
Misfit Tires VIII Not Give
Good Service TO Truck
Owners.

Truck users are coming 10 realize that
tires have a very important part in
successfui truck operation and that the
tires are a separate problem from the
truck itself.
1t has been hard to get sound advice
regarding tires 1t has not always been
easy for tire manufacturer to advise
the use of some kind OF equipment which
he did not himself manufacture.
Take. for instance, the subject of
pneumatic truck tires. The advice re-
garding the use OF these tires has been
both confusing and incorrect in nearly
all cases, Many a truck owner has
learned by expensive experience that tho
pneumatic has a clearly prescribed field
and that the use OF pneumaties outside
this field means the waste OF money.
As much money is wasted to-day on
wrong tires as on poor ones. Some truck
owners wonder why their tire bills are so
high while others are moderate. Tho
answer is TO be found In many cases In
the fact that the wrong type or the
wrong size OF tire has been selected.
No truck owner needs TO be told that
The problem IS real one The uses to
which trucks are put are so varied and
The types and sizes OF tires are so
numerous that 1t is very easy matter
10 select the wrong tire for some par
ticular kind OF haulage.
In the interest OF greater economy the
United States Tire Company has estab
lished q technical service department.

SOLVING STEERING PROBLEMS.

The average motor car owner prob
ably viii be surprised to be told that
he doesn't know what really good steer
ing means. The reason Is that SO many
factors contribute TO helping or hinder
ing the easy guidance Of tho modern
car that many OF them are entirely
overlooked by most owners. and the re-
suit is that they consider satisfactory
steering what is In reality very far
from perfect.
All modern automobiles use essen
TALLY the same steering system, COM
prising tho wheel fastened to post
and connected by iinlSage TO q movable
lsnuclsle attached TO the side of the front
axle, the two knuclSles being connected
by a further 1inkage. BY turning the
steering wheel the post moves the link
ago 10 one front wheel, and because Of
the connection to tho other this also
moves in unison.
Tho steering gear, properly speaking,
is the mechanism at the lower end Of
tho steering post, and the different
types take their names from the forms
Of gears used in them. There Is the
worm and wheel type, the worm and
sector, screw and nut, bowel gear and
rack and pinion. All these gearlngs are
merely different ways OF accomplishing
me same end. They are nothing more

the motion OF the steering wheel. The
worm and wheel and the screw and nut
1ypes are those commonly in use to-day
To begin with II is important that the
front wheels shall be properly aligned IL
the car is to steer with maximum easo.
Now all wheels arc cambered and toed-in

varies with different cars, but the owner
should take pains at least twice 4 season
TO see that his wheels are properlv
aligned. There arc certain methods az
making this test, which is simple enough
u the operator knows how. but if mo IA
not familiar with the proper procedure
ne should take the car to his service sta
tion and have the test made, tho cost

makes the test himself he should ascer- |

PRACTICAL PARAGRAPHS.
Ford Hint.

ii intreauently happens that when the
first speed pedal of the Ford car is de-
pressed the motor stalls without appar-
ent cause, because the engine has been
running fast enough to take care of an
ordinary load. The trouble will be found
to be caused by the fact that the first
ana second speed band is overlapping
ana rubbing against the reverse band.
Commutator Trouble.
Grease should not be used for the
fabrication of the commutator. Cylln-
der oil is the proper lubricant and 1t
should be sparingly used This applies
to all commutators or ignition distribu-
tors. When grease is used in the COM
mutator, it is quite likely to prevent the
distributed arm from making contact
and an annoying type of ignition trouble
ensues.

Major Laists'BeIieves Building
Operations Should Begin
Before Boom"

Prospective builders who have been
waiting for building prices to become
stabilized may now proceed with their
operations. This Is the opinion of a
number of experts who have just
made a careful survey Of the whole
building situation. and find that the
prices OF material and labor will not
greatly recede from present levels
for a number OF years. 1t is the opin-
ion of all that prices will decline
slowly and that there will be no APP
preciable difference in cost of com
pleted construct ion between the pres
ent time and a year hence.
Theo. +. Laist. former Major Of En-
gineers, Construction Division U. S. A..
writing In the American Contractor

cast that there will be a great re-
cession in the price Ievel of building

INVESTORS MARKET
IS ACTIVE AGAIN

This is an investors market
IL is active and passive. BY this
Is meant that many concerns are
dickering for places and many
are strongly inclined to buy.
This is not true only of corpora
tion buyers but individual in
vestors as well.
There are many potential buy
ers. These are the views of ex-
pert real estate men in the busi-
ness and residential property
fields. II not today then perhaps
tomorrow or the day after lis the
way one broker described these
prospectives. He said that busi-
ness men have informed him
that they would buy but that
nothing that interested them had
been offered.
They indicated, he said, that
they had not been aroused to
action. For this reason II might
be well for brokers to give a
little attention to investing
clients. Study once more your
prospects, Without doubt there
is an individual or a concern in
your district who is a potential
buyer, who has been thinking of
and on about purchasing but has
not bothered to do more than
think occasionally about it.
He can be developed, he can
be interested in a business build
ing, an apartment house, a city
home or a country place, The
best judges of the market say
that the potential buying force
is not the speculator but the in
vestor. General business has not
been bad.

BUILDING ACTIVITY
SHOWS INCREASE
Proceeds at Greater Rate in
January-February Than
During 1919.

Building activity has proceeded at .
greater rate during the frst two
months of this year than during the
first two months OF 1919. according to
Statistics compiled by the F. w. Dodge
Company. Conditions in the opening
months of 1919 were very similar to
those prevailing at present.
Total contracts awarded from Janu-
ary to March 1, 1921, In the twenty
five Northeastern States of the coun-
try amounted to $212,437. 900, COM
pared with $152,7s4,000 for the first
two months of. 1919.
The total contracts awarded in Feb
ruary, 1921. was slightly less than in
the preceding month";. but in view of
the fact that February was shorter
han January by three business days,
the same rate of activity has been
maintained during the two months.
January contracts amounted to $111,-
$4,000; February contracts, 500, 789,-
600.
Among the contracts awarded in
February. residential building took
the lead. representing SO per cent OF
tho total, or $36, $4,000. Public works
and utilities amounted to $16,609,0oO,
or Is per cent of the total; business
buildings, $17.07O.0o0, or II per cent
of the total. and industrial buildings.
$s.037,000. or 9 per cent of the total.
Contemplated new work was re-
ported in February to the amount Of
$5s1, ,342, 900. 1t should be explained
that this includes $500. .000.o 900 for the
proposed bridge over the Hudson
river, a project which will doubtless
take Q long time to mature. Never
theless, even If this large project be
omitted. the remainder of the contem-
plated work has been exceeded In. only
one month since last June.
NEW ENGLAND.
Contracts awarded in the New Eng
land States in February amounted to
than the January figure. Although
both January and February have
shown low figures in this district the
year has started OF rather better
there than 1919 did.
In detail the February figures show
the following items: $2,671 900 or 81
per cent, for residential buildings;
81 ,835 900 or % per cent, for business
buildings: and 81 ,267 900 or 18 per
cent for educational buildings.
