differentiation, Misalignment
of Wheels, and Neglect Of
Small Cuts Cause Of Trouble
By ALEXANDER JOHNSON.
Editor of Motor.

One of the foremost executives
in the automobile tire business once
remarked that IF American motor
lists got all the mileage that is
built into their tires we would go
bust" OF course, there IL exag-
geration in this. but there is q
mustard seed of common sense that
will repay examination.
While the tire companies do not
depend on the well-known careless
ness of motor-Car owners as re-
CARDS their tires to stay in busi.
ness, il is perfectly true that not
one owner in ten gets out OF his
tires the service they actually could
give him. Obviously this means
more money spent for tires than
need be. A Few very simple atten-
tions will keep the tires going until
natural wear puts an end to their
useful careers.
Causes of undue tire wear ore
three in number, as follows: In
correct initiation, misalignment of
the wheels and failure to fill small
cuts and abrasions before they have
a chance to become fatal gashes.
Tire manufacturers are pretty
well agreed that underinflation Is
the prime cause of excessive tire
wear. Tire construction is such
that II the castings are not kept
inflated up to a certain pressure,
flexure is set up in the walls.
which separates the fabric from
the rubber compound. This means
a weakening of the wall in the par
ticular location where II occurs and
blowout at the least convenient
time.
There is little excuse today for
failing to initiate the tires to the
proper pressure. Almost every curb
gasoline pump carries free air All
the owner has to do is to ask the
attendant to test the pressure and
bring it CUP to the proper level.
Most tires today have stamped on
them the pressure that the manu-.
facturer desires to have carried in
them. The car owner never should
leave his garage without looking at

CHEWING GUM USEFUL
For FEED PIPE REPAIRS

Chewing gum has often been Of
fered as a means for effecting a tenn.
porary leak in a gasoline line. but
even in this day and generation there
are those who do not habitually have
gum in or about their persons. The
same criticism may apply to the use
OF a marshmailow as a quick repair
agent; but IL the driver does happen
to be supplied with these delectable
confections, or knows where he may
obtain them, the most bothersome
leak may be quickly stopped.
The sugar and gum arabic on the
marshmallow are not soluble In gaso.
line and so account for the value OF
the candy in a repair emergency.
The marshmallow. having been past.
ed around the pipe, may be held on
with adhesive tape.

rubber. forming sand blisters and
leading directly TO blowouts.
There are other minor causes Of
Excessive tire wear: Applying the
brakes while at speed, thus dragging
the tires and grinding off the rubber;
allowing the tires to stand in a pool
Of oil in the garage, oil being a dead
ly enemy of rubber. The three main
causes to be guarded against, how
ever, are those first enumerated, and
by taking care OF these the car
owner will get full value for the
money spent on tires.

ready to purchase for cash all the
cream that could be shipped to him.

PAXVILLE WOMAN'S
AUXILIARY MEETS
Meeting of The Paxyille Woman's
Auxiliary of The Methodist Is
Church.

: A most enthusiastic meeting of the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Methodist
Church was held on last Wednesday
afternoon at the home Of Mrs. Jesse
r. Sprott. In spite Of the inclement
weather a splendid number Of ladies
were present. = The reception hall and
living room were made attractive with
potted plants, and beautiful vase of
narcissus adorned the library table.
Here and there posters were displayed
giving statistics Of Cuban missions.
"A very striking one was as follows:
The United States gave Cuba her
Political freedom and the Church must
give her spiritual freedom" The
president gave the Bible lesson:
'"Heralds of a New Day" Mrs. Mag
give Garyin offered the afternoon
prayer. The reports from the differ
cnt superintendent were encouraging.
A geography lesson on Havana, and
the Missionary News were given by
members. Mrs. j. w. Minis, Jr., pre-
sented very vividly "The Industrial,
Religious, and Social Life of Havana"
A reading entitled "Fraternity" by
Mrs. Sprott was much enjoyed.
Year books were presented to the
members to be used at each meeting.
The closing thought was, "God gave
his best for us-his only begotton
Son. Christ gave. His best to me-
Himself. Have I given through the
Missionary Society Of my Church the
best / had to give?"
AS usual, the social half hour was
much enjoyed, during which the hos
tess served tea with lemon and as
sorted sandwiches. She was assisted
by Misses Eva Balm, Florence Stack,
and Daisy Corbett.
