Leakv Auto Tubes Ruin
Millions of Good Tires

How does the average motorist buy
an auto tube-as merely necessary
and somewhat incidental accessory or
as a part of the tire as vital as the
casing? Upon the motorists answer
to this question depends, in large
part, the degree of his freedom from
tire troubles The car owner courts
trouble when he buys tubes care
lessly.
The fact that tire costs are largely
dependent upon tubes is frequently
overlooked. Leaky tubes ruin mill
lions of tires annually through under
imitation. Ordinarily the castings are
blamed for troubles for which tubes
are almost entirely responsible. On
the other hand, good tubes enable a
tire to deliver the maximum mileage
which the maker built into it.
The best casing is at the mercy of
a poor tube. AS the tube represents
a small sum in comparison to the cost
of any standard casing, it is frequently
the part of economy to throw away in
ferior or WORKOUT tubes. The purpose
of the tube is to hold air and to keep
on holding air. When 1t fails In this,
1t is worthless.
Today all standard tubes are built
of Illuminated construction. In other
words they are built layer on layer
up to the proper ply. This construc-
ton is made necessary by the fact
that rubber in its natural state Is a
wretched air container. Both chem
icalIy and physically it leaks air. BY
using a number of layers Of rubber
no tiny flaws can go through.

.LUBRICATIONI is
MOST ESSENTIAL
instruction Book Does Not
Always Give Most Prac-
teal Points to Owner.

(By ERWIN GREER President Greer Col
iege OF Automotive Engineering, Chicago)
The average car owner Is prone to
follow the instructions which he finds
in the book which accompanies his car.
and he is careful to do nothing. IN
less he finds a suggestion in a maya
zine or In that same book of instrue-
tons.
He fills the base of his engine with
lubricant when oil Is necessary, as in
dicated by the gauge, and he is care
full to see that the pressure remains
at certain figure while the engine IS
running. The instruction book does
not always advise the owner further
regarding the oiling system.
Sometimes Inferior Oil.
You may have liquid in the base of
your engine, but is it a lubricant?
Many times this liquid is combina-
ton Of cylinder oil and water It's
lubricating properties are poor, and
should the bearings burn through lack
Of oil the owner is very apt to blame
the oil for the trouble. He immediate
ly buys oil of another grade or oil that
is made by another manufacturer,
without, however, knowing the rea-
son for his trouble.
Depending upon the type of engine,
oil in the base should be changed reg
ularly. Old lubricating oil should be
drawn out from the base and thrown
away and new put in. for at least
every thousand miles of riding. In
some cases 1t IS advisable to renew
the oil much oftener.
Clean With Light Oil.
Make a point Of cleaning it with
light oil every time the lubricating
oil is renewed Put in about one quart
of light oil and turn the engine over
by hand. with the petcocks open, a
dozen turns or so. The light oil will
loosen the particles Of grease and
have tendency to drive out the dirt.
1t is not advisable to run the engine
while the light oil is in the base. 1t
may do no harm On the other hand
there is a possibility that it will dam
age the engine.
After the engine has been cleaned
in this way, draw off the light oil, and
while the drain cocks are still open
turn the engine over two or three
times in order to drive the light oil
from the system. Clean the pump
stralner, If there is one, then put in
a good grade of oil.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DR.. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of Health"
OVERWEIGHT

WHEAT would you think Of man
w who carried day and night, wher-
ever he went, a 50-pound burden on
his back? You'd say he was crazy and
you'd probably be right It's all well
enough for CHRISTIAN In Pilgrims Prog.
ress'' or for fanatics in India or China,
but no common-sense American would
do such a foolish thsng.
Hold on, though!
How about that 90 pounds of surplus
fat you're carrying? Is that any more
sensible?
What's the difference, whether the
burden is on your batk or under your
skin? It's an unnecessary burden just
the same
You wooda't bet on a fat prize
fighter, or put your money on a fat
race horse, would you? You'd know
they weren't Sin condition" and that
if you backed them you'd lose.
If you carry surplus and unnecessary
weight. you're going to lose.
The paunch around your waist isn't
on your stomach there's another pound
inside. Fat in your muscles. fat
around your lungs and heart and fat
around your blood vessels. And it's
all unnecessary weight TO carry and
needless fat that clogs and impedes
your muscles.
Life insurance companies will not
issue policy to anyone who is 40 per
cent overweight. They know that fat
people are more subject TO diabetes
kidney diseases, heart diseases and
hardened blood vessels than are people
of normal weight.
Life insurance companies are run to
make money and they don't place any
bets on men who are not "in eondi
ton"
Why are you too fat?
In rs per cent of cases because you
eat too much or use your muscles toe
little, or both.
You put food in your stomach and
the body digests 1t and makes fue
out of it. But it has more than i
needs. so the surplus is stored up IN
der your skin and between your mus
cles and around your heart to get i
out Of The way.
It's waste that makes waist.
Fat means that you are buying more
1 food than you need; eating more fooC
/ than you need; carrying more weigh
than you need, and clogging up you

If there is anything that gives joy
to the summer tourist on strange
road in the summer time, ii is to find
a spring Of pure, cold water. These
springs are often found along we'll
travelled highways, where they pro-
vide the best of filling stations" for
the hot and thirsty motorist They
also give him the chance to replenish
the supply OF water in his radiator
The one drawback of these springs
is that if they are much frequented
they often become contaminated
careless persons throw rubbish In
them. The water thus is sometimes
made unfit for drinking.
To prevent pollution of these
sources of water the springs must be
sealed up so chat the water may be
The Monmouth inquirer. [volume] (Freehold, N.J.) 1865-1933, 1924-07-24

obtained without there being any
chance of communicating the source.
In many places this is being done by
sealing the spring up with some sort
of concrete shield, leaving only
small opening through which the wa
ter flows. The accompanying photo
graph shows an instance of this prac-
tice along West Virginia highway.
In this case the overflow is piped to
a horse trough farther along the road.
Installation of such sconveniences
for motorists, even placing OF good
wells of sanitary construction at in
tervals along the road. do much to
enhance the joys Of summer motoring
They also make it much more safe by
protecting the tourist from impure
water.

Truck Drivers Should
Observe Much Caution

Don't overload.
Don't speed.
Don't throw clutch out on
grades.
Don't fail to be courteous at
all times.
Don't forget to keep to the
right at all times.
Don't forget that others have
as much right to the highway as
you.
Don't stop on public high
way unless you give signal and
always stop as far to the right
as possible.
Don't figure what the other
fellow will do. Always keep
your own car under control.
Don't carry passengers on the
seat with you who will detract
from your business of driving.
Don't ignore the sound Of a
horn from the rear. Let the
autoist pass. It is his right.
Don't take the right of way
from the other fellow when it is
not yours.
Don't ever fail to stop at
school crossings. You owe it to
the little children to exert every
care. A human life is worth
more than getting to your desti-
nation on time.
Don't park your car on the
highway at night without tail
light burning. Your negligence
may cost a life.

Federal employees in the District

testimony today before the House
civil service committee, holding hear
ings on Representative Lehlbach's
bill to abolish the board.
The government workers did not

by the board. administration officials
of the government had filled out
the questionnaires upon which the al

these questionnaires.
These were the statements made by
Guy Moffett, the Civil Service Com
mission representative on the person

hearing at the Capitol.
Mr.. Moffett told the committee that
he had personally examined between
5000 and 5000 of the ALLEGATION sheets,
and in cases which he said were too
numerous to mention" had found that
the ALLEGATIONS did not seem con-

toned by the oil committee today
in its search for further details OF
the communications that passed be-
tween Washington and the Mclean
cottage at Palm Beach during De
cember and January.
1t was Major who signed most OF
the telegrams to Mclean already pu,
into the committee record. He was
questioned at length about these
messages, but he said the kilograms
sent over the private wire by Nc
Lean between Washington and Palm
Beach had been destroyed.
Spurgeon Testifies.
John J. Spurgeon. managing editor
of the Post, was called as the first
witness. Senator Walsh, democrat,
Montana, asked about installation of
the private wire, AMI he replied:
II can't tell you who installed the
wire. Mr.. Mclean directed that 1t be
installed
He said that he did not know what
went over the wire, or whether rec
ords were kept. His duty. as chief
IF the news department of the paper,
he explained, did not require him to
be responsible for such arrangements.
Senator Walsh asked for the iden-
tity of the man who Is over you all"
and the witness said 1t was Mr.. Nc
Lean.
Senator Adams. democrat. Colorado.
asked if the wire to Palm Beach had
any news use. Mr.. Sturgeon said it
had none.
Spurgeon had wired Mclean, men,
tioning 100000 loan to A. B. Fall, and

MEN IN HONDURAS
Destroyer Ordered to Puerto
Cortez as Ceiba Force
Is Increased.

Continued disorder at Ceiba, Hon
duras. where American marines were
landed yesterday. have prompted
Rear Admiral Dayton to send ashore
thirty-five additional men.
An American destroyer has been
ordered from Kingston. Jamaica. to
Puerto Cortez. on the Atlantic coast
of Honduras, where the situation also
is disturbing.
Admiral Dayton now has about
seventy marines and bluejackets
ashore at Ceiba. His reports indicate
that the situation is so bad he deems
it wise to keep his ship off shore.
The request from Puerto Cortez for
a naval vessel was transmitted to Ad-
miral Dayton by the consul and re-
layed to Washington. The trip from
Kingston will take the destroyer
about two days.
Information Lacking.
No detailed information as to the
conditions at Puerto Cortez have been
received. -.
Oficials here are losing hope that
the Honduran situation will clarity
itself through the efforts of the con-
tending political leaders alone. Eff
forts to enforce loans from American
business concerns in Ceiba have been
resisted, and the American consulate
has been fired upon. Additional ships
NAV be sent when the situation is
better understood.
