.motorist, realizing that a car runs
pressure, will have a tendency to
avoid a sufficient initiation. There is
no dangeriof putting in too much air
because any standard make tire will
hold at least three times the amount
of air pressure recommended.
Separated plies of fabric are due
to exactly the same condition as
above. 1t causes considerable
widening of the. running surface of
the tire and considerable flexing mo-
ton, causing the cushion to gradually
breaa and release the adhesion be-
tween the tread and, carcass. or be-
tween the various plies of fabric.
Rim cuts also result from this I'M
derinflation or overlooking, due TO the
fact that this neglect permits the tire
to lay down on the sharp edges of the
rim. This is especially true with
clinchertype tires. Further than this.
rusty and bent rims cause many rim
cuts. The lateral sway caused by the
fast turning of corners will also cause
practically the same injuries as under
initiation. Corners should be rounded
at reasonable speed.
Broken beads are the result Of care
lessness in application and serious
blows encountered quite often in turn
ing corners. Thread cuts and pune
lures result from glass, nails, cans.
sharp stones, etc. Many a motorist
will pass over these things unknowing-
ly. However, large number of them
will not take the trouble to pull out 10

slight obstruction.
Worn Treads Dangerous.
Separation of the tread and plies is
the result of underinflation. overload

Use Must he Coasideres.
The desire for good roads, and the
raising Of the funds, represent but
part of the story. Mere laying Of
concrete. macadam. brick or asphalt
by the most approved methods will
not alone suffice. It is the use the
road receives upon completion which
largely determines whether Il can
actually be made to serve the motor
ist as a genuinely good road
In one instance where a million
dollar stretch OF highway was built
amid great cheers no consideration
WAS made for the shoulders Of the

A number of new roads, particu-

traffic.
There is no question that the lack of
curing concrete roads has been greatly
responsible for the bad condition OF q
number of these roads built but a few
years ago. and that too much haste in
rushing them into service is a principal
cauee Of sudden and regrettable dete-

A point which has been particu-
