COMPANY ADVISES
MOTORIST IN CARE
OF ALL AUTO TIRES
U. S. Tire Company Tells
Of Many Methods in
Repairing Tires.

When a tire suddenly blows out.
apparently or no reason at all. 1t
is hard for the motorist to realize
that the cause Of the break was a
bump against a curb that the tire
sustained two or three weeks be-
fore. says the United States Tire
Company. Because the tire showed
no external evidences of damage at
the time the bump occurred, the
owner Is likely to blame the tire
when the internal damage done by
the blow finally makes itself felt.
A rubber tire will stand a great
deal; 1t will deliver thousands of
miles of service over rough roads,
and wear amazingly well under con-
ditions that are unfavorable. But
one thing that Is likely to cause
serious damage Is a sudden, heavy
blow. The injuries done by such a
blow are to the fabric that forms
the carcass. The blow breaks some
of the threads. and this breaking
gradually spreads until the tire
breaks down.
The amount Of air which should
be kept at all times in automobile
tires has been carefully worked out
on scientific lines. and these pres
sures should be adhered to relig-
iously in order to obtain the high
est mileage.
A hig grade tire on a racing car
will sometimes stand up as far as
500 miles. about one-twentieth
of the life of a tire operated under
ordinary conditions. This difference
In tire service is due directly to a
difference in the head developed.
Heat exerts a deteriorating effect
on rubber in proportion to the in
tensity and length Of time the rub
ber Is exposed to 1t. Running at
high speed quickly raises the
temperature of a tire. This heat
results from the internal friction
set up in the tire carcass Tires
are designed to resist the effects
of heat produced by ordinary every
day car operation. but they cannot
long remain intact when highly
heated by continuous speeding.
The Hunt Motor Car COMPANY
local distributors for the Ricken-
backer car, tells its customers how
to make a perfect stop at a curb
as follows: Put the car in an ap-
proved position. so that the front
and rear wheels are a few inches
form the sidewalk. From the
drivers seat in a normal posit on
note where an imaginary line of
vision from the eye through the
windshield to the curbstone would
be tangent with the right front
fender or other prominent feature
of the car. BY remembering this
angle and endeavoring to gauge It
accurately. the driver should have
no difficulty in making good '1ard-
ings' which will not damage the
car.

AUTO ENGINEERS SOCIETY
SUGGESTS NUMBERING CARS
Method Hailed as Help in Identifying Stolen
Motors.

1t is recognized generally that
one of the most effective ways OF
Identifying stolen automobiles and
minimizing the danger OF their be-
ing stolen would be the adoption
OF a method of numbering engines
and frames which would make 1t
impossible to change the numbers
without leaving indication that
such change had been made.
At the present time stamping
plain characters on several parts
OF the engine and other units OF
the chassis seems to be the most
satisfactory way Of guarding
against having numbers changed
by automobile thieves or gas pi-
rates, as they are called. Several
automobile companies are now
using this method. 1t is realized.
however, that IL a simple means OF
numbering iron or aluminium cast
ings can be developed which Will
make it impossible for the num-
bers to be changed or leave indi-
cations that they have been chang
ed, it will be a real solution Of this
important problem.
The National Automobile Under
writer's Conference submitted to
the National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce an offer of a 20 per cent
reduction in automobile insurance

methods of numbering engines and
frames should be perfected. This

recently quoted by a leading ma
tional business publication thus:
The last two years have cleared
the air. The business mortality
among tire manufacturers has been
high and the mortality among deal
ers has been enormous. Now the
tire industry is having a new start.
Thoughtful survivors. both in tire
making and tire selling, realize
thoroughly. perhaps for the first
time in their business lives, that
their vocation is no different from
any other so far al basic principles
are concerned. The discriminating
tire buyer does not buy because
tire is cheap. He buys when he
needs tires and because of the se-
cnrity and mileage they will give
him.
