NEW SPARK PLUGS FOR
LONG TRIPS ARE URGED

Motorists who are contemplating
long tours this summer will find ii
TO their advantage to install a COM
plete new set OF spark plugs before
starting their trips.
A rev years ago it was believed
that a spark plug could be left in
the engine as long as 1t continued
to fire. But recent exhaustive tests
have proved that no matter how
well spark plug is made, It loses
efficiency In constant service.
The continued stress to which a
spark plug is subjected in engine
operation pits the electrodes and
burns carbon onto the insulator tin.
This causes leakage OF the current
ana loss OF the spark tensity. The
weaker spark cannot fire the mix.
ture quickly enough to give COM
plete combustion The unburned
gasoline, in additional to meaning
loss or power, also dilutes the oil
In the crank case as It works by
the pistons to escape from the com.
preston chamber.
This is why engineers now declare
1t real economy to change spark
plugs at least once q year. They
cay that engine performance is
made better in every way--that oil
and gas are saved, and that more
power and speed are generated from
the same amount OF gasoline.

BALLOON TIRES
ARE HARD To

Tests by Miller Show New
Type Less Liable Than High
Pressure to Injury.

Do balloon tires puncture more
readily than high air pressure
tires?
They do not. Thus is the question
answered by Miller balloon tire.
experts after making comprehensive
tests on the various sizes and types
Of balloons under all kinds of
road conditions. Technical reasons
why balloons should not puncture
more easily than other tires are
borne out by practice.
The actual surface Of contact
made by a 7.S0 inch balloon tire
under load OF 100 pounds is 1904
square inches. The actual surface
contact of a 5.inch high pressure
tire, which is replaced by the 7.SO
balloon. under load Of 100 pounds
il 20.16 inches.
From these figures it is found
that the load> per square inch on
the high pressure tire is IS pounds,
whereas on the balloon it is only
At pounds.
With less pressure on all parts Of
the contact surface there is less
likelihood Of puncture. The balloon
tire is disposed to roll over OBJ
structions in the road which
ordinarily would cause punctures.
With considerably less air pres
sure the tire is enabled to absorb,
by flexing, the sharp obstacles
which would penetrate the high
!. pressure tire.

wet road without danger of skid
and on a dry road the car may
be brought to a stop much quicker
than with the rubber tread tire
and is much easier to steer out Of

tread. The operation of this tire on
the road is somewhat similar to the
suction cup, in other words, when
the wheel is revolving and the tire
just touching the ground there Is
no drag to the rear end of the car
but the minute the brakes are an

Maxwell Club Sedan

MaxwelI'sf latest model, the
club sedan, is expected by Of
ficials of the company to enjoy
the largest demand in 1924 Of
any Maxwell ever produced.
Although its output has been
raised time after time since the
first announcements of the car
were made, dealers in various
parts of the country are still
unable to meet the existing de-
rnand. Hundreds Of retail or
ders for the car still remain un-
filled.
A larger daily supply of
bodies than for any previous

provided, which, it is expected.

NAVY HONORS
 BLAST VICTIMS Last Post Sounded By Oldest Bugler In
 Fleet

SAN PEDRO. June 17-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-Forty eight dead of the battleships Mississippi and New Mexico. who fell in line of duty" Thursday when a gun in the Mississippi's No. 2 turret flared back, today were honored here, in word and action as none have been honored before in this port.
 Thousands of their comrades and of ficers in orderly array drew up in hollow square about the great cross of collins that occupied the center of Trona field.
 Back of these again were thousands of civilians, silent, as the navy paid tribute to it's own dead.
 It was as though q great concourse had come together to sympathize with stricken family. The men of the ships were the family. Theirs was the sad honor to conduct the services. The mufti-clad citizens mourned with ranks in blue, but they respected the gries of the latter and accorded them first place at the bier.
 Vice Admiral Henry A. Wiley and Rear Admiral w. V. Pratt, sailormen who led sailormen, spoke of the de- parted with words of appreciation and sorrow, mingled with pride.
 "In Line Of Duty"
 Our comrades died like man-o war men," said Admiral Wiley. ''They would not have asked for more. They died in line of duty they gave up their lives as heroically as any ever have done in battle"
 Addressing the silent ranks of the dead lying before him, Admiral Pratt declared
 TO you, who lie here at rest and at peace know ye that no monarch, that no country could bestow upon you such badge of honor as God gave you when he took you in his arms and said, Well done. faithful servants. You died ir service. You died at your posts oi duty
