TIRE IS CAUSE .
Of BLOWOUTS
Miller Men Warn Drivers to Be
Careful During Fall and
Winter Months.

Motorists often wonder why their
tires blow out when the car Is stand
ing in the garage or being driven
along smooth pavement. The fact is
that tires frequently do not blow out
at the time they are injured. Often
they run for several hundred or even
a thousand miles after being seriously
bruised. The cotton fibers in the
ruptured carcass snap gradually. one
by one. This breaking continues to
weaken the tire until the final result
is a blowout.
The car owner has forgotten often
times all circumstances attending the
injury. Unlike the falling OF a build
ing. which is ordinarily preceded by
creaking sounds and giving Of the
walls, no warning Is given the motor
list until the blowout actually occurs.
Miller tire men say the principle is
much the same as when an axle Of
the car breaks on a smooth road. 1t

Impressive evidence OF the re-

ranged to build or take over six
large plants near Chevrolet Assem-.

supplying closed cars to Chevrolet

Dodge Brothers Will Devote 35
Per Cent Of 1923 Output
To This Kind.

Production schedules prepared by
the motor car manufacturers Tor tue
coming year reflect accurately the
constantly increasing desire or the
public for closed. car comfort.
The strength OF the closed-car de-
mand Is illustrated by the fact that
Dodge Brothers, Detroit manufactur'
ers. are planning to devote approx
mately IS per cent of their large pro-
duction for the latter half or lSZZ 10
construction of closed cars. The I'm.
portance OF this figure Is emphasized
by comparison with last year s
closed-car percentage, which was ap-
proximately 13 per cent.

years ago The prices of Dodge

open cars by narrow margins OF Slo0

In the Northern and Eastern
States, where from five to seven
months Of the year are too cold for
comfortable driving in an open car,
the popularity OF the closed car is
growing by leaps and bounds. Even
in the South, the buying public ap-
preciates the instant protection

Secretary Of Agriculture Drops
Horse-DraWn Vehicle for

In official Washington, a tradi'

Department by all Of his successors,

Presidents Harrison, Cleveland, Nc
Kinley. Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson,
the Secretary of Agriculture looked

distributor of the Lafayette, in COM
menting upon Secretary Wallace's $
precedent-smashing switch, 'inas-
much as 1t took thirty-three years
and approximately ten million au-

THE fact that the Secretary of
Agriculture has clung so long to the

Right of Automobile
On Sidewalk
In Court.

Not long ago a case was de-
cided in the Missouri courts in
volving the rights of a motor
car on the sidewalk while en-
tering or backing out of q
garage.
A street sweeper was stand
ing in the street talking to a
friend when a motor car back
ed out of n garage, curved
into the center of the street
and struck him.
The court held that the in
jured man was entitled to
judgment because the chauf-
feur failed to look behind the
top of his car which was up at
the time.
The right Of the chauffeur
to cross the sidewalk in back
ing out of the garage was not
questioned; judgment was
given because he failed to use
care while doing so.
In the absence of statutes
to the contrary, a motor car
has the same right to pass over
a sidewalk to reach the street
or the garage on the opposite
side as a pedestrian has to
cross a street to get from one
side to the other.

fore it finally gives way.
When some object In the road is
hit. drivers sometimes wonder that
the tire does net blow out. But they
rarely remember. these accidents
when the tires give way later. FIRE
quently such a blowout is blamed on
a defective tire.
Guarding against tire bruises Is
particularly important in the late
fall and winter. 1t is these bruises
that give the maximumo OF tire trouble
in the spring. The majority OF
bruises are got in running against
curbs. and over sharp stones or
bricks. and over car tracks. 1t pays,
in safeguarding the tires against
bruising. to drive carefully, especially
over country railroad crossings.

WHAT'S THE CAUSE?

With so many automobile acci-
dents, and a casualty list growing
larger at an appalling rate, their
causes should be very carefully look
ed into with view of learning what
particular habits of the drivers re-
suit in the most accidents. Skid
ding, often the result of too fast
driving, is the cause of many acci-
dents All automobiles are built to
travel with safety at a speed as fast
as the law allows, but many drivers
are not content to travel at such a
rate 1t is when speeding that if a
tire bursts, bad accident is caused,
whereas if travelling at slower rate
such thing would not happen
While there is law against fast
driving, it is almost impossible to
enforce it at all times, in all places
1t might appear that the only way
to put a stop to speeding would be
to make it a serious offense for
manufacturer of automobiles to con-
struct a car that would travel faster
than certain speed, permitted by
law. But going back to the cause
of accidents: Perhaps one of the
commonest causes is the habit of
trying to pass cars on curved roads
Drivers often become impatient at
having to lag along behind a slow
moving machine, and passing on the
left side takes considerable speed TO
overcome the car moving in the
same direction In so doing it is
necessary to get we'll over on the left
side Another car hidden by the
curve may be coming on at a good
rate Of speed in the opposite direc-
ton, III which event it becomes very
difficult to avoid a smashup. No
matter how big the hurry it is al
ways best 10 not attempt to pass
another machine, unless it might be
in wide place, with a clear straight
road ahead. In so doing, while a
driver may lose d little time getting
to his destination he may avoid
getting into court, or perhaps a
hospital, or it may be a cemetery.
