an undereurrent of discomfort
among automotjye manufacturers

more. than'Sa tithe Of those who
would like to exhibit at the New

Palace. The N. A. C. c. would
like to take care Of everybody,
but space limitation absolutely
prevents.
This year some Of the mental
anguish caused by this condition
Ia going to be assuaged. Bill
Wellman, impressario Of a hum
dred successful shows and race
meets, the. man who put Sleeps
head Bay Speedway on the map
in the good old days. and who
never has had failure, is going
to stage the national motor and
accessory show in historic Madi-
son Square Garden during the
week that the national exhibition
is holding forth in the Palace.
The Garden will offer $4,000
square feet of show space and
will give hosts of manufacturers
who have been unable to get into
the Palace a chance to present
their wares to the crowds that
gather from all over the country
for show week. Wellman has ar
ranged a most interesting pro-
gram, with numerous new and
enticing features, which will be
announced later.

Means To- Prevent
Rusting Of Rims
Told In Detail

Every motorist has had the
disagreeable experience Of hav-
ing the automobile castings rust
to the rims in this manner, are
a decided annoyance, especial
ly if the motorist Is far from
q garage. y.
This trouble may be elimin-
ated If the driver will equip the
rims as described. An old
inner tube is obtained, prefer
ably one several Asizes smaller
in diameter than those used on
the car. This is split open
with knife and a large band
Of rubber made from the tube.
BY trimming this band until It's
width will just fit between the
flanges Of the rim, it may be
stretched around the rim and
a hole Of suitable size cut for
the valve stem. -, %
II a small inner tube cannot
be had. the strip may be cut
from q larger one and the
correct diameter obtained by
cutting out a section and ,vul-
canizing the ends together.
When using this =. protector,
castings rarely rust to the rims,
