CARE 0F THE INNER
 TUBE |S IMPORTANT

The pinching of inner tubes is un- necessary if properly adjusted, de- clares, L. M. Wheeler local Federal Tire dealer. .'
 "To the motorist who is careful with his tires the care of the inner tubes is considered as important as care of the casing" MT. Wheeler states. .,-
 "The Federal Double-Cable- Base construction is the greatest protec- tion against pinching the inner tubes or when the casing is in place on the rim these unstretchable steel cables in the base of the tire hold it so solid ly against the rim that it cannot pos sibly change it's position.
 "Many inner tubes are pinched and cut because the toe of the tire will lift up when they are in use and all low the tube to work under it. Then when it is pinched under the toe of the tire it is soon cut through in the constant action of the shifting tire.
 But in Federal Tires there is no pos sibility of having this happen owing to the secure position in which the cas- ing is held solidly to the rim at all times. We consider that this con struction in Federal Tires is the best insurance in the world against pinch ed inper tubes"

EDITOR OF "MOT0R" GIVES
 SOME GOOD ADVICE
By Alexander Johnston Editor of Motor

1LuAIOI VI AtAoSSA
 At this time of year many thou
 sands of our fellow countrymen are embarking in their cars and setting forth on more or less lengthy tours. An admirable custom, but if the tour is to be a really enjoyable one there are a number of pieces of'advice the tourist should heed.
 To begin with as to speed. Not too fast lis the first rule. An even, conservative touring gait will get the traveller farther and enable him to see more and get greater enjoyment from his trip than bursts of speed, inter- spaced with stops to repair damages. Twenty-Five or thirty miles per hour at most is a consistent touring speed.
 Of course tire trouble is the great bugaboo of the motor tourist. Be sure, therefore, that you start with good tires, two spares and tubes enough for emergencies. Reasonable speed conserves the tires. The cas- ings get hot enough in any event, and excessive speed sends the temperature up rapidly, with blowouts inevitable. Take it easy.
 Electrical troubles are also a source of endless annoyance to the touring motorist. Therefore start with an electrical syste mcompletely overhaul ed. The storage battery should be fully charged and filled with distilled water, while the terminals must be clean and tight. Spare bulbs should be in the car and extra fuses to fit the needs of the car, as it is some times difficult to get fuses on the road. .n
 A vigilant eye on the gasoline tank is also necessary in touring. More halts by the roadside are induced by an empty tank than by any other single cause. Always keep the tank more than half full.
 Adequate fabrication is essential, al- ways, but it is doubly important on the long tour. Start with the car completely and freshly oiled and greased. Be sure to turn down the grease cups and if the tour is a long one, have fresh oil put in the crank case.
 Guard against overheating, which saps the power of the engine and is likely to break down fabrication and cause permanent damage. Keep the radiator full of water and use rain water if the section through which you are travelling has water heavily charged, ,with salts. Keep the fan belt tight. Advance the spark sufficient ly and see that the fuel mixture is is, not too rich. l
 On unobstructed slopes it is wise to shut off the motor and allow the wind to cool the engine. On very hot days it is good plan to wedge up the sides of the hood an inch or so. This lets in more air to the engine compart- ment and assists cooling. Remember that the radiator cannot perform it's cooling task efficiently if part of its area is obstructed by license plates, etc. Give it fair chance to keep the water below boiling.
 A little thought along the lines will make touring perfect, because it will eliminate roadside stops to repai rthe casualties caused by carelessness.

PROSPECTOR FINDS CANNON
 BALL IN LOOKING FOR GOLD

A discovery of cannon balls in the Mono National Forest, near Minden, Nevada, where he exepcted to find gold led A. Ferguson, prospector, to wonder what battle in American his- tory had taken place there, but in yestigation proved that they were merely relicts of Gen. John c. Ere mont's expedition to California in 1844.
 Although not we'll versed in early California history A. Ferguson as an overseas veteran immediately recog- nized the character of steel spheres he dug from the gravel in small rayine not far from Fales Hot Springs in Mono oCunty, California. They were "two-pounders", once standard piece of ammunition in the American artillery and only slightly rusted from their years of repose in tn ground. General Fremont's dairy records that on January 2s, 1914, Ae was ob- hged to abandon his howttzer at a point in Deep Creek, canyon so lprecipitous that only men and mules could navigate it, This place is about eight miles north of where the can- non balls were discovered, SO it is supposed that General Fremont abandoned his howitzer ammunition as of no further use.
 
 The relics were taken by Ranger Atcheson to headquarters of the Mono National Forest at Minden.

THE OvERCHARGED BATTERY

Automobile operators who feel un- easy concerning the condition of the battery caused by long runs and a minimum use of the electrical system can wire the field circuit of the gen orator to a conveniently located switch, leaving the switch open on long daylight runs, thus stopping charging and keeping it closed dur ing short drives.
