 FIRE INSURANCE AUTHORITIES

CTS look lightly. Fire? There's hardly a chance for their machine to go up. They take special pains, they say, with lights and such when they are near their cars.
 But they don't refute the insurance authorities. Carelessness, they say, is just what starts so per cent of the automobile fires, Not so much light ing a match to see how much gas there is left in the tank, as snooping around the gasoline line with a lighted cigar-unconsciously one hand.
 That is a direct sort of carelessness which should be guarded against. But there is an indirect kind which causes most trouble. This is the kind of care Iessness which allows the valves to get leaky and the fuel line to get loose

Barney OldfieId Develops Tires That Stand Up in

If Barny Oldfield, during his racing career had accomplished nothing else but aid in the development of the present day racing machine his name would have gone down in automotive history for his efforts in that line. But Oldfield has done something besides develop the fastest racing cars of the day, declares George Jackson of the Southern Arizona auto' company, he has built tire that is as far in ad- vance of other tires as the racing car of today is over the track machine of a decade ago.
 Oldfield has always been a great be liever in a good foundation, the founda- tion of course, being in this case, good tires and during his some twenty years of racing experience an exhaus- tive study of all makes of tires, their good points and their bad, has given

Oldfield a knowledge of what consti- tutes good rubber" hardly surpassed in the industry Since retiring from the speedway he has gone into the tire business exclusively and the Oldfield tire which bears his name already has gained an enviable reputation in the motor world.
 In perfecting his tire Oldfieid's great aim was to build a product that would stand up to the abuse of the speedway. He figured, and rightly so, that the tire build to stand such strain would hold up indefinitely under the ordinary wear and tear of average touring. That he has succeeded is amply prov en by the fact that the only car to finish without tire trouble in the last International 800 mile race was an Oldfield equipped machine.
