CLEANING OF TIRES
IS IMPORTANT TASK
Should Be Gone Over Every
$500 Miles.

Wise motorists, after driving n new
car about 500 miles, drain the oil from
'he crank shaft case, give it a
thorough cleaning and refill with fresh
oil. This operation should be repeated
at least every additional thousand
miles during the life of the car. 1t is
OF great Importance In prolonging the
me or the car In that it keeps the
motor free from particles of grit
metal, sediment and other foreign sub.
stances which find their way into the
inner workings.
oiihilar treatment should be accord.
ed tires for the same general reasons
in order that they may deliver all o,
the mileage which has been built into
them at the factory. At the end of
every 2,5OO miles Of service tire
should be removed from the rim, de.
mated and all soapstone and grit re.
moved. The inside of the casing should
be washed with clean gasoline and
after drying should be busted with
tale.
During this operation a close inspec.
tion should be made Of the tread and
the inside of the casing for any cuts or
fragments of glass or other foreign
materials, according to tire experts
The rims should be cleansed of all
rust and paint. Rust on the rims leads
to quick deterioration If it works its
way around or through the flap.

ice, involving the retirement
from office of Director A. p.
Davis, is said by Secretary of the In
terror Work to be due to the natural
development of the reclamation work
past the stage where the services Of
engineers were to be considered the
first consideration.
The American Society of Civil En-
gineers had made representations as a
result of Mr.. Davis separation from
the government service. The secre-
tary's answer to the society was made
in a letter to Its secretary, James Ii.
Dunlap of New York.
"All of our projects are not prosper

question of engineering, so much as 1t
is one of business acumen and opera

RIGHT STEERING
MOST NEGLECTED.
Many Accidents Caused by Ina
bIlIty of Driver to Turn
Wheels Rapidly.

tsy ERWIN EnwIN GREER, President of Greer
cago.) thi-
IL usually has been the rule to ioIIv
the person who devoted long hours
10 learn driving under an Instructor
This practice of Kidding" is one that
human nature succumbs to; hence the
individual starts out alone on the CON
gested highway, Understanding the
need for proper knowledge, and ,oIns
.he ranks OF our careless, maniac
drivers, endangering not only them
selves, but the lives and property of
othefs. The mere knowledge of how
10 start and stop a car serves only rs
preliminary training. 1t is from this
point that the greatest care should
oe exercised, to learn the proper way
10 handle your car at all times.
Steering Most Neglected.
PROBABLY the most neglected part in
the training of drivers is that of steer.
Ing. great number of accidents are
caused through inability to turn the
wheels rapidly enough in either direc-
tion' at the same time signaling to
the oncoming traffic, as to what course
you intend taking.
assume you are driving left drive
car. In making a right-hand turn, the
lett arm Is extended up and out, as a
signal, at least rs feet prior to the
corner. (This applies to all signals,
except in emergencles.) The wheel
should be grasped high, with the right
hahu, and turned to the right, as the
corner Is reached-the speed of the
car being lessened at the same time.
Ihe left hand should remain at the
signal position until the corner is
rounded, than it falls high on the
wheel, and straightens out the course
or your car, then right-hand relinquish-
Ing It's hold when the left hand takes
control
This method completes your turn
In two movements, whereas the ordi-
nary way of using both hands, after
hurried signal, taking two or three
holds on the wheel TO accomplish Il
turn, never allows you full conf
work for the driver.
Left Turn Signal.
For the left turn the signal Is that
the left arm shall be extended straight
out and held there until the car has
taken its complete turn. This time
the right hand is crossed over and un-
der the wheel and pulled down to
the left as the corner Is reached To
straighten out the course of your car
following left turn, let go of the
wheel and take a new grip and pull
down to the right, as in rlght-hand
turn. Note that the left hand plays
no part in left turn, except as a
signal, yet you have perfect control
of your car.
Steering Is knack, not bull
strength. Once acquired and your
driving pleasure increases greatly.
In downtown traffic, cars should be
guided with the right hand. keeping
the left ready for immediate use as
signal. Remember that you can do
nothing with two hands on the steer
ing wheel that cannot be accom-
plished with one, thereby leaving the
other in reserve as signal. Try
these suggestions out and it may aid
you greatly, regardless of your past
experience.
