BY FE1DEnIrA c. RUSSELL.

Occasionally 4 car owner observes
something that starts him thinking
along new lines and is perhaps en-
1 couraged to make radical change
IN his method of caring for his car
lot of presumably good advice is

again he stumbles over the fact that
If II were not all subject to revision

Motorists ge@ into such a rut of
doing thingn in prescribed order that
they are not at all likely to be
conscious or any errors in method.
A radical idea offered by some motor
crank, therefore, viii sometimes
serve to give the average motorist
a new point of orientation.
For instance. how do YOU pump up
your tires? Stop at the filling station,
unscrew the dust caps and hook the
hose to each tire valve in turn? Test
for the desired pressure, screw on
the caps and go your way?
That's the way it's usually done,
to be sure. But listen to this true
story of how certain car owner
did the job in the presence of the
writer.
jacks Up Wheels.
This fellow did not pump in air
until he had first lacked up the wheel
holding the respective tire. 1t was
a very queer process. indeed; served
for anecdotes regarding Columbus
before he satisfied the world that the
earth is not fiat The man at the
filling station said he was glad he
had succeeded in getting the fellow
to use one of the less conspicuous
pump outlets. as these eccentricities
would have caused congestion. But
beyond that he was not interested.
1t was just a plain case of motor
crank publicly demonstrating
particularly foolish brand of non
sense.
What difference does it make
whether a tire is standing on the
ground or suspended when the air
pressure is read, or when new air is
being added? Why go to all this
trouble? Did the poor fellow really
think 1t was necessary to go through
all this rigmarole? Did he not see
that he was the only one who ever
did such a thing?
Few who observed the process
could fail TO raise these points, but
if they did no one else took the
trouble to hear the answers. I was
soon alone with this queer specimen

''Cranky" Ideas of Motorists
May PrOue to Be Beneficial
Students of Car Needs OftenAppear to Do
Useless Things, Which Develop Into Ac.
cepted Rules for Careful Auto Dinners.

Of car-owner, and, accordingly, soon
acquainted with the facts. He was
going to all this trouble as a precau-
ton against leaky valves. and this
was his method of reasoning: !.
Wear on Valve.
IF tire is normally pressing
against the tire valve with a force OF
SO pounds per square inch it stands
to reason that this pressure will be
actually greater if space allowed for
the air is contracted through ma king
that tire support a fourth of the
weight Of the car. Thus. if you should
let air out of a tire while il is rest
ing on the ground and supporting
fourth of the car the valve will be
actuated with n greater force, wear
ing its frail rubber section unneces-
sarily, thus encouraging fat tires
through valve leaks. He insisted that
there was enough wear on the valve
rubber when hooking on the pump
nose and allowing high pressure air
to rush in without slamming the
valve the other way with excessive
internal pressure.
Whether he was right or wrong Is
entirely beside Inc point. for it was a
very small matter he was seeking to
correct in any case and no busy mo
torist would be justified in taking his
time to save valve insides or the
trouble he might have through the
premature destruction of one. But il
showed that he was thinking. Con
ventional advice on matters of car
care was not being accepted by him
without proof Of its merits. He
was out to get ahead in his motoring
by experimenting. And. above all he
didn't care what other people thought
about it.
Methods of Cleaning.
Which calls to mind the fact that
thousands of car owners are sendinc'
their cars to the washstand and hav
ing them ruined just because it is a
tradition of car ownership to keep a
car in good order by having it wash
ed. No consideration is given OF the
fact that there are times to wash
cars and times to dry clean them
Many a newly painted machine that
hasn't got a speck of dirt on it could
profit by a cold bath to help set the
varnish Conversely. many car that
has been washed to death by a driN

LESSONS FROM ACCIDENTS.

Sometimes tip on car care is a
tip on safety, and when a motorist
overlooks the former he is often due
for trouble. This was illustrated in
a recent affair in this city where
a car shot into a crowd watching a
base ball score board when the driver
stepped on the starter.
Drivers are told to press out the
clutch pedal when using the starter
as means of saving the starter
motor the work of turning over the
main driving and counter-shaft gears
of the trans smission, but this is also a
safety feature. II for any reason
the gears are not in neutral the
operation of the starter cannot pos
sibly start the car itself when the
clutch is disengaged.

The plan of turning the fan belt in

not have the tools with which to
make an adjustment, does not always
solve the problem. In fact ii may
aggravate it. A fiat belt often be-
comes concave after being in use for

that the middle of the belt may

The public has shown ii keen in

and Straight-e eight motorS-and the
result is that manufacturers have
been encouraged to put the 1925

come dangerously close to winning
its wager that year following
its announcement of July l, 1923.

manufacturers equipping their cars

of the car makers to meet demand.
That the adoption of four-w eel
brakes is process of meeting A de-
