ing tubes is followed closely, per.
manent repair is very nearly Ger.
tain.
In cases where there are two pune
lures near together. it is good prac'
tice to cover both with one big
patch, rather than to apply two
little ones.
Insrepairing big holes or gashes,
usually resulting from blowouts,
it is necessary to apply an inside
patch. as well as an outside patch.
Making a satisfactory job of re.
pairing tubes is merely a matter
of care and practice and the motor
car owner who once gets the knack
will be surprised at the time and
money that he will save.

Lubricate Properly
And Avoid Overhaulino

If an automobile is properly lubri-
Gated and minor adjustments made
when the need demands them, it will
be unnecessary to arrange for COM
plete overhauling Of the car, such as
the taking apart, cleaning, adjusting
and replacing OF worn parts of every
mechanical unit.
Rattles or knocks develop, but will
be discovered Immediately as they
occur II a weekly inspection is given
by the owner, and should be attended
to and remedied at once.

AUTO TIPS,

Never travel at a high rate OF
speed over q road which is un.
familiar.
A poor memory is costly when
looking after the supplies and re-
pairs Of an automobile.
Rust is the greatest enemy of
ballbearings. See that all parts are
well creased.
Do not at any time follow car
travelling at a>.htgh rate OF speed
at less distance that fifty yards.
When selecting q place to park
a car keep 1t away from rubbish
piles, ash cans. fire plugs and street
corners.
When the motor fails to start
there are three systems to inspect
valve system, ignition system and
carburetion system.
During the cold months 1t Is wise
to cover the leftshand. side OF the
radiator. This will protect the car
buretor and keep the engine warm
70 store gasoline there lie nothing
equal to an underground tank. The
gas0linie%is kept cool and any vapol
given off is carried to the roof oi
the, building and is. rendered harm
less. - ~

Tire trouble is one of the banes
Of every motor car owners exist
ence and rightly so if we consider
the inconvenience that almost in
variably attends this form of mis-
hap. It is a fact though, that with
the tube repair kits that are now
available, tire trouble need never be
more than a temporary annoyance.
If the motorist will learn how to
make really permanent repairs on
inner tubes, there is scarcely any
, damage that he cannot repair by
the roadside or anywhere else.
The equipment needed for max
ing tube repairs by the way. are
simple and consist OF a container
Of rubber cement and patches. In
addition there should be a small
wooden paddle for spreading the ce-
ment, a smooth hard board about
twelve inches long and pair of
bit of sandpaper, the motorist is
ready to tackle any tube repair
In making the actual repair, the
surface around the hole in the tube
should be perfectly clean and should
be roughened with the sandpaper,
to give good adhering quality for
the cement.
The cement should be spread over
q generous area around the hole
that is to be plugged, in order to
give room for a big patch. After
the first coat OF cement has been
applied, 1t must be given a full
five minutes to get set, after which
another coat is laid on and allow
ed to dry for five minutes. Next
the patch is stripped of its protec.
tive layer of clotn and the sticky
side Is jammed down on the ce-
mented area. If the cement has
been given time enough to get set,
the patch will immediately adhere
to the rubber and the tube should
be pumped up just a little to give
it form, but not enough to cause
the puncture to open.
The tube should now be placed
In the casing and some more air
be pumped in, after which it should
Be allowed to stand fifteen minutes
ct least before 1t Is finally and fully

!. The plants OF the Ford Motor
Company built approximately 3O0,-
900 more cars and trucks in 1922
than in 1921 Final figures are:
Highland Park. 1882. 2os: foreign
plants, 6S,S5S. and Canada, 50,26S.
They total 1856, 333 cars and trucks,
which represents q business year
never equaledt either in American
or foreign plants. -
There We're eight months in which
considerably more than 100000 cars
and trucks were built by the Ford
company. There were only five
months in 1921 in which the COM
bined> output OF an plants touched
100 ,O0O 2or more. Various Compari.
sons of production figures show
clearly that although the company
built more than 1900, 900 cars and
trucks in 1921, the year that fol-
lowed was an even greater sensa-
ton. One of the high-Hghts OF the
years work is seen in the oi1tpu.
Of the River Rouge tractor plant.
A greater. than 100 per cent In.
crease in production was recorded
when the final figures showed that
SIS, 1885 more Fordsons were absorbed
in agriculture and in industry IN
foreign countries as well az in
America. The 1921 tractor figures
were 36,753. The. Cork, Ireland,
plant played an important part in
Fordson building, not a month pass
ing but what was marked with
steady output.
INTERNATIONAL FIGURES.
During 1922 Manchester. England,
built 27,1s4 cars and trucks; Buenos
Aires, u,S71;. Copenhagen, s10.552;
Bordeaux. 1885. Sac Paulo, 1882;
and ,cadiz, 5,3S1. The figures for
each of these plants are greater
than r in 1921. In fact, taken as q
whole, the foreign plants last year
built approximately, $4,000 cars and
trucks more than In the previous
year. Both Buenos Aires and Sac
Paulo enjoyed epochal business,
while increased business Of the
other foreign plants In some cases
ran nearly as high as 100 per cent.
The Canadian plant, Ford, Ontario,
reports a business growth over 1921
OF approximately 5000 cars and
trucks, which is a substantial in.
crease for that plant.
June, 1922, holds the record for
the greatest monthly production Of
all the company's plants. In this
month there were built III, ITO cars
and trucks. August came close to
seeing the record smashed. however,
when all the plants sat q mark OF
146,O1O cars and trucks for the
month.
The greatest number of cars and
trucks built in. a single day was
$3.50 on August 90, 1872.
