GIVES
ADVICE ON
SKID CHAINS

Sharply rounding corners on slip
perry streets often causes autos TO
skid dangerously. Frequently motor
lists notice less fortunate cars with
wheels crushed against the curb. So
many are the smashups that safety
first suggestions are opportune.
skid chains are good for icy or
slippery streets, but should not be
run on dry pavements or hard road
ways. They are a serious strain both
on the driving parts Of cars and upon
the tires Some motorists put them
on too soon and leave them on too
long. others put them on too late or
take them off too early. A little care
in this pays real dividends in tire
conservation
Chains bite best on the straight
away, meshing with the road for the
hard pull and preventing side sway
As long as the wheels are turning, the
chains are fuuctiouing. They are
least efficient when the wheels are
sliding With less breaking effect,
there Is more chance Of a collision
Quick stops with all their rasping
wear on the tires can be avoided by
slowly throttling the car down and
COasting 10 a stop, according 10 NIL
Ter tire service experts
Chains can be too tight OF too loose
A uniform tension with enough SLACK
TO allow normal creeping is most
practicable. Broken cross chains and
those worn fiat OF sharp on the edges
continually cut the tire, causing loose
treads Of all descriptions

placements needed next year in add
