ABUSE OF TIRES.
Not Generally Understood by
Motorists, Who Misuse Them.

Terrific abuse given an automobile
tire when run fiat is not thoroughly
understood by the average motorist,
according to Miller tire experts.
Popular ideas of tire destruction are
vague. because there are few stand
ards upon which they may be based.
1t Is only by examining kindred forces
that a comparison may be made.
The average force delivered by a
blow from an axe on a block of wood
IS from $50 to ITS pounds The blow
Of a sledge is from ITS to 225 pounds
passenger automobile each Of whose
rear wheels is carrying a load of 1900
pounds. run at only 20 miles an hour
and dropping into a hole only as deep
as paving brick. delivers a blow
of ESQ pounds. This force-far greater
than that of the sledge hammer-cuts
and bruises the tire against the rim
and is the cause Of fabric separation
that puts the tire on the scrap heap.

a line on the center Of the tires with
a piece Of chalk. Measure the dis
tance from the line on one tire to
the corresponding line on the other
tire at the height of the hubs and
both before and behind the front
axle. The approved gather will work

TIPS FOR MOTORISTS.

Tires should not be over-inflated
nor under-ini1ated If too soft they
will heat rapidly and wear out quick
ly. If too hard the car rides hard.
and although It requires less gasoline
consumption, the easy riding quality
Of the car is lost.
It is not always necessary to buy
new bearings when ball bearings be-
come worn. The old ones can be re-
paired and made almost as good as
new by turning up the bail races and
using larger balls of the right size.
Injection of a little mixed oil and
graphite between spring leaves does
not take much time and will repay
the owner in better riding qualities
and freedom from squeaks. Care OF
this item will also prevent rust.
Do not overprime when struggling
to start a balky engine. The usual
tendency Of the man who does not
know is to flll the cylinders with a
mixture so rich the motor will not hre
by pulling out the choke and filling
by way Of the printing cups. Leave
the compression cocks open II you
suspect the mixture is too rich and
spin the engine with the starter.
Thus the mixture will be thinned un-
til the motor will start.
