lNJURE TIRE BY CURB BLOW
Internal Damage Done Does Not Al
ways Show Evidence of Harm
at That Time.

When a tire suddenly blows out ap-
parently for no reason at all, it is
hard for the motorist to realize that
the cause of the break was a bump
against the curb that the tire sus-
tanned two or three weeks before. Be
cause the tire showed no external evil
dences of damage at the time the
bump occurred, the owner is likely to
blame the tire when the internal dam
age done by the blow finally makes it
self felt.
A rubber tire will stand a great
deal; it win deliver thousands of
miles of service over rough roads, and
wear amazingly under conditions that
are unfavorable One thing that Is like.
ly to cause serious damage is a sud-
den, heavy blow. The injuries done
by such a blow are to the fabric that
forms the carcass. The blow breaks
some of the threads, and this breaking
gradually spreads until the tire breaks
down.

MANY ACCIDENTS
MAY Be AVOIDED
Few Simple "Don'ts" for Pedes-
TRANS and Drivers to OBJ
serve on City Streets.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering,
Chicago.)
Who is to blame for the numerous
accidents reported every day in the
papers, the automobile driver or the
pedestrian?
The correct reply is both"
There are many careless drivers
who violate every common-sense rule
and there are thoughtless pedestrians
who blindly walk directly in front of
a machine, trusting in providence to
save them. If the majority of pedes-
TRANS were not naturally careful
when crossing a street and the ma
jority of drivers didn't unconseiously
observe safety first rules there would
be hundreds of more accidents every
day.
1 have drawn up a few simple
"don'ts" for pedestrians and drivers
which 1 think would go long way to-
ward eliminating scores of accidents.
They are as follows:
For Pedestrians.
1. Don't step off the curbing to cross
the street without glancing both ways
2. Don't try to read your newspaper
crossing the street or stop to argue
with friend half way over.
8. Don't walk behind a street car.
4. Don't try to run if caught be-
tween two machines. Stand still I'M
til the automobiles have passed.
5. Don't try to cross a crowded
street if the police signal is set for
the opposite direction.
6. Don't cross in the middle of the
block.
Z. On crowded downtown streets
use safety lanes marked on the pave
ment.
For Auto Drivers.
1. Don't turn a corner without
sounding your horn.
2. Don't try to talk to someone in
the back seat when making turn.
3. Don't cut corners.
f. Don't get interested in something
going on half block behind you when
making a crossing.
5. Don't try to break speed records
going around corner.
6. Don't try to dodge around the left
side of a street car to get out of
blockade.
Z. Don't try to cut too close to
women and children, who are liable
to get ratified.

USE WALL FIXTURES

Heavy Bent Steel Rods Useful in
Walls of Garage.

When building a brick garage, the
owner had a number of heavy bent
steel rods imbedded in the walls, as
shown in Fig. l. The purpose Of these
was not evident until the garage was
completed, when the owner fitted to
them forged steel hooks, made as in
Fig. 5, and thereby formed removable
supports that were used in place of
hoists or jacks.
Other bent steel rods were made to
be hooked under the car frame or

AUTOMOBILE
M}NF1LNrISMEA

Every car owner ought to make a
practice of testing the wheels for side
play at least three or four times a
year.
Wobbly wheels; besides wearing
bearings and otherwise racking the
machine, have an equally destructive
effect on tire treads.
Motorists these days like to boast of
their ability to get good power and
mileage from present-day fuels by
homemade" mechanical adjustments
When an old set of pistons reaches
the stage where replacement is neces-
sary, it is sometimes possible to avoid
this expense by having the worn set
expanded or swelled.
A simple way of stopping the leak
age of water from around the connec-
tions or packing nuts of water pump
is to apply heavy grease to the pack
Ing and threads of connections.
Slippery dirt roads have been safe
guarded against by the production of
a metal mud rim. which is fastened to

to that used with the common chains
