Both front and ear tires should be
examined once each week in summer
and if any tread cuts appear they
should be plugged. If you do not plug
them they will become larger and
pretty soon the whole tread is a mass
of blisters or large cuts through which
the fabric shows. Retreading will do
no good for you cannot get a good re-
tread to give as low a cost per mile
as an original tread. Take care of
the original tread and after it has been
worn down to the fabric the tire will

INDUSTRY SELLING
MORE TUBES THIS YEAR

The motoring public of the United
States in 1921 bought American made
automobile tubes in the ratio Of ono
tube to every one and one-quarter
castings. The export markets of the
world received American made tubes
for the same period i ma much smaller
proportion-one-half tube to every cas-
ing, which means they made use Of
than they did native made castings.
The Miller Rubber company in sta
tistics recently compiled at their Of
fees, shows that the rubber industry
is selling even more tubes this year
than last. both in the domestic and
export fields. A tube and a half to
every casing sold is the record for the
first five months this year in this
country. and three-fifths of a tube to
every casing sold to the foreign buyer.

The Oil leaks out of the front and rear

Kindly let me know if there is any
thing on the market to increase the oil

the best for a ~crankcase to prevent
the oil from leaking out. +. a. NJ.
Oil leakage out of the front and rear
of the engine is caused by seepage
through the bearings, or a bad fitting
oil pan. This leakage alone must be
stopped before oil consumption will be
any lower. If the engine still pumps
oil, it is a matter of cylinder refinish-
ing. New pistons and rings installed
in worn cylinders or scored cylinders
will not stop oil pumping. Also pistons
improperly installed will cause pump
ing to continue. First stop the leak
age from the %crankcase. Take the
matter up with the man who fitted the
bearings.

If your tire pressures are correct you

when braking, avoid skidding and much
extra tire life will be had.

tion or turning it off and it will prevent
an explosion in the muffler.-J. w.
A car so young in all probability is
.carbonized. Take my advice and have
the valves ground and carbon removed
now and the power will go up. Also
it is a good thing to grind early then
the next period will not come for 5000

Leave ignition on when going down
a grade so as to fire the small amount
of gas that gets into the cylinders.
With ignition off gasoline washes away
oil on the cylinders and some goes to
the muffler where it may explode when
you switch ignition on. Leave clutch
