Valuable Suggestions for
Summer Auto Tourists

As an aid to owners who desire
to condition their cars for summer
touring, the Chandler Motor Car
Company has issued a list of hints
and suggestions that should be of
value not only to Chandler owners
but to those who drive cars of other
makes.
Among the important points to be
checked up are the following. Ex-
anime the electrical equipment to
make sure that the generator and
ammeter are functioning properly
and that lighting circuit, starter
and horn connections are secure.
Lamps should have bulbs of equal
candle power. have clean reflectors
and properly focused. Test the
steering gear to see that it does not
bind at any point and is thoroughly
fabricated. Examine the brakes.
Determine that they are free and
do not drag with lever and pedal
released and that they hold with
pressure even when pedal is de-
pressed or lever drawn back.
Brakes should be so adjusted that
the car can be brought to a stop
without grabbing. Drain out all
oil in motor and replace with clean
oil every 500 miles. Always make
sure gauge registers proper level
and that pressure gauge indicates
properly.

MOTORISTS LEARNING HOW
HIGHWAYS ARE CONSTRUCTED
Road Building Study Reveals Many Difficult
ties Encountered by Contractors.

Comparatively few people who
use our highways are sufficiently
well versed in the technique of
road construction to know whether
a highway was constructed under
the most approved specifications,
In the absence Of any obvious de-
fects, the average motorists opin-
ion OF highway is summed up In
his answer to the question How
does It ride"
Engineers and contractors. on the
other hand, have in the past d.rect-
ed their attention to getting the
proper amount of cement into the
pavement, vutting down the amount
of mixing water, adequately pre-
pairing the subgrade and other
technical details in which the
average user of the highways took
little interest. But with the present
universal interest evidenced in
highway matters. the motorist is
learning more Of the engineering
side of highway construction and
the road builder Is, to a greater
degree than before, considering the
motorists point of view. The need
for great care in securing an even
true riding surface is being recog-
nized by highway builders to an
increasing degree. Many States
now specify the. allowable surface
variation in a certain gauge length
from a straight line, Some states
require the use of split floats at

STEADY OPERATING
AT WHEEL PROVES
VITAL FOR AUTOIST
Use Hands on Wheel Is
Rule for Safe
Drivers.

No general rule can be laid down
as to the manner in which the steer
inC wheel should be held. as each
driver gradually will discover that
there is one certain way which seems
best suited to hiI:. according to
writer in Motor Age. But at that.
there are right and wrong ways of
grasping the wheel. and even those
who have graduated into the ranks
of good drivers may find themselves
not adhering to the accepted rules.
When the car is going faster than
twenty-five miles an hour" says he.
''bo.h hands should be on the steer
ing wheel to, be ready for an
emergency. such as a blowout, pass
ing vehicle or the like. Many acci-
dents are avided by quick steering
rather than bringing the car to q
stop or slowing down. and the man
who has both hands on the wheel in
this case f. in a better position to
worm his way out than II he had to
bring the other hand to the wheel.
The latter operation requires a second
or so. and seconds are precious
factors, when avoiding collisions.
Let Arms he Levers.
'As a general thing. the wheel
should be held so that one hand Is
about diametrically opposite the
other. In this position the arms will
act as levers. and while one hand
pushes the rim the other pulls. On
long drives and where the road sur
face permits. this position may be
varied so that the driver may be-
come less fatigued. Some people
drive by placing both hands close
together at the bottom of the rim so
that the arms are straight back. This
is bad, because 1t affords little lever
age.
Then there are others who grasp
the spokes of the wheel, and while
this is permissible for resting the
arms. It must be borne in mind that
the closer the hands are placed to the
center of the wheel the less will the
leverage be. The safest way is to
place the hands at each side of the
wheel. so you are ready for emer-
gencies. There is no telling when a
tire is apt to blow out, and il the car
Is travelling over thirty miles an hour,
the wheel may >be jerked from the
hands of the driver, If he is unpre-
pared.
Don't Jam on Brakes.
Most steering gears are irrever-
sible. but at that a blowout at COM
parative high speeds will in most
cases force the front wheels to the
side on which the blowout took place.
1t is also well to remember that when
a tire blows not to Jam on the brakes.
but rather the throttle should be
closed and the car allowed to coast
to a stop. By jamming on the brakes
the car might skid and serious dam.
age will result to the debated tire
While on the subject of skidding,
1t Is perhaps well to take up a dis
cussion Of the latter.
To begin with, the driver should
learn to differentiate between the
term skidding and side-slipping.
though. enormously. frequently ap-
piled to side-slipping. The former
simply means continuous forward
movement of thes car. Fortunately
side-slipping is usually confined to
the rear wheels only. but in some
instances this might be true of the
front ones also. One reason for side
slipping is taking corners too fast.

tons OF coal were used.
Because of the enormous demands
for war materials modern by-product
ovens were constructed and in 1919
more than 81 per cent of our coke sup
ply came from these ovens. 1t is esti-
mated that for every ton of coke made
in modern by-product ovens there is
saved in fuel alone 825 pounds OF coal.
When a householder burns a ton Of
coal he has sacrificed something like
LOCO cubic feet of gas, nine gallons of
tar. twenty-five pounds OF ammonium
sulphate, 2.08 gallons Of pure benzol
and 0.56 gallons of pure toluol.
In our Industrial life the use of coal
derivatives is just beginning to be felt.
The rubber industry depends upon
these products for solvents, CON-
pounding ingredients and softeners.
Practically ill types of paint now use
dcrivative of coal. Printing inks,
shoe polishcs, brake Innings. dry clean
crs, perfumes, explosives, linoleums,
CLUES, pastes and Photographic de-
velopers, contain coal products as
basic ingredients. The paper industry,
the soap business, and the shoe manu-
facturer would be in serious difficulties
without the by-products of coal tar.
The electrical industry would lose its
chief source Of Insulating material and
the doctors and druggists would be
without sufficient supply Of phenol
to make thsll supply of everyday
drugs. n
Coal tar. the refuse OF ancient vege-
table kingdoHl4 Is valuable because il
produces a galaxy of brilliant colors,

many intermediates are developed that
are Of inestimable worth to the indus
