backed up across the road in many
places. Feeling Il his duty to post
warning signals he engaged George
Beers of the Wateryille Motor Com

a Studebaker Six. Some difficulties
were encountered but nothing serious
until they reached the first guf1ey be-
low the town farm Here the water
was high enough To How into the car
but by making a rush they got thru
all right. Something like mile
further on they found a place which
was impossible. Proceeding on foot
however they were able to make a
detour and>get through II, where they
posted red light danger signals. On
coming back when they arrived at the
place which had given them the most
trouble they plunged in but the wa
ter was so deep that 1t drowned the
motor or battery and the car came
TO n standstill. 1t was dark and
the water was cold, not an inviting
prospect and they were obliged to
leave the car and wade to higher

lists are unable to explain. A very
popular misconception is that turn
ing corners more frequently to the
right than to the left Is responsi.
BILE for this wear. Such, however,
is not the case.
The reason that tires on the
right side OF the car wear more
quickly than those on the left is
that they carry greater load then
their brothers on the other side,
The natural slope OF the street or
road causes more or the load to
rest upon the right side OF the
car. In addition, the natural ten.
dency Of the car to slide sideways
because OF the road slope must be
counteracted more by the tires on
the right side than by those on the
left.
Car owners sometimes wonder
also why 1t is that under normal
conditions of rnao and driving, the
right rear tire wears out more
quickly than the left rear. That,
according 70 Miller tire experts, is
due to the additional strain placed
upon it by the motor. The driving
power OF the car is transmitted &c

and stopping the tire 10 given
additional strain. Not only must
1t meet with the natural obstacles
Of the road but It must also alb
sorb the pulling and bralxing strain
which is transmitted by the motor.
That is another argument against
quick starting and stopping. The
sudden start and the sudden stop
cause undue wear Of the tread sur
