WATER INJURY TO
TIRES is SMALL
Running Through Stream Is
Not Injurious.

Now and then in the course of al
automobile trip a car has to pass
through stream, ard the question is
sometimes discussed whether the ac-
ton of the water is harmful to the
tires The same question arises when
the car is out in heavy rain.
Such a wetting is practically moth
ing at all, either for damage or inn
provement. At any rate, the effect on
the tire is not harmful Two chief
constituents of a tire are rubber and
cotton, both vegetable substances, and
as rule water does not injure vege-
table matter. AS illustrative of this
point, there Is the old but true story
of the farmer who, when one of his
rubber boots fell into a well, placed
the other on shelf in closet Twelve
years later when the well was cleaned
the lost boot was found to be In ex-
cellent condition, but the boot on the
shelf had fallen into ruin.
If running through brook resulted
in cooling a tire the effect woulG be
decidedly beneficial, but a quick dash
through the water has little effect on
the heated air within the tire and
consequently the temperature change
in the tire after its bath is negligible.
Water itself apparently does no
harm to tires, but the combination of
air and moisture commonly known as
humidity is very destructive, especial
ly on the cotton in ordinary fabric
tires. The moist air works in between
the layers of the fabric and rots them
out, sometimes even before the tires
leave the dealers storeroom. Core
tires stand humidity better.
The harmful effect of moist air is
the chief reason why, when tires are
stored, they should be. kept in a dry
atmosphere. AS sunlight is also harm
full, the storage place should be dark
ened.

Bronze brooches and pins, believed

PRIZES STIMULATE
INVENTIVE GENIUS

The simple expedient of offering
prizes of $50 has resulted in the dis
covery that there are 152 amateur in
ventors in England whose inventions
have commercial value, The Insti-
tute Of Patentees in London offered
prizes for the best inventions in sew
eral classes, and about 500 inventions
were submitted from which four ma
jor prize winners were selected. The
152 inventions will be submitted TO
various manufacturers, asserts the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The major prizes were awarded to
the inventors of kettle with lid
that will not fall off, portable fire,
a rotoscope based on the theory of
relatively for gauging the speed of ma
chinery, and a machine for bending
rods and tubes.
Sir William Grey Wilson, head of
the institute, is an inventor of renown,
and his house is full of his handicraft.
One of the most ingenious is in the
chicken house. A few grains of corn
are placed in tin beneath the perches.
When the chickens wake and peck at
the corn spring is released which
opens the door of the house.

Shabby Tires Are Not
Favored for Anv Car

Shabby tires on a good-looking car !
Yet stand on any street corner today
and count the number Of patched-up,
dilapidated tires which are being used
to the last mile. The cost of keeping
these tires running for a few thou
sand miles would nearly pay for new
ones. Mileage such as this comes
high.
Tire conservation does not mean
picking up decrepit tire and putting
it back into service at big repair
cost just to save a little rubber left
in the tread. 1t means taking care of
the tire from the first so that 1t will
be able to deliver all the mileage built
into it by the maker When tires are
so far worn that they are soon to
blow, it is poor economy to repair
them. Such a course means sacrifice
of the inner tube as we'll.
Cheap, makeshift patches, boots and
temporary repairs of all kinds are now
being called into use as never before
but patching up an old casing in which
separation of fabric. plies has already
begun, cannot give the freedom from
tire trouble on which the pleasure in
motoring so largely depends.

Rookie Willing
f6 Admit Fault

1t was during the first month of
the first officers camp at Fort Har-
rison, when the rigor of discipline
was being drilled into the embryo
officers, that local boy, trying with
all his soul to make good found,
much to his dismay, that he was
standing for inspection with a but
ton missing ON his blouse, which all
militarists know is grave offense.
The general was coming down the
line, and as he came closer the young
man determined to speak out, if ques-
toned, and admit the fault.
With the certainty of long training,
the stern generals eagle eye fell on
the unbuttoned blouse, as is inevitable
in such circumstances.
Have you no button there?" he
asked.
"No,' quickly answered the ready
neophyte
mo what?" sharply corrected the
officer

young man in his eagerness and ex-

EFFICIENCY AND
SAFETY OF CARS
Numerous Devices Add to
Comfort and Satisfac-
ton of Owner.

1t is difficult to believe that the oil
pressure gauges and he ampere-me-
tiers which now appear on the instru-
ment boards of virtually all makes of
cars were once regarded by many as
unnecessary frills. Today there are
number of accessories being offered
which are similarly regarded, which is
the same as saying that they would
be appreciated II only their advan-
tages were better known.
BY equipping car with some of
these ftments, greater satisfaction, eff
ficiency and safety will result. Add
front and rear bumpers to. the car, at
tach one of the many rear signaling
devices, keep a set of anti-skid chains
handy and the car will be enormously
benefited in proportion to the cost of
the protection. Frequently such safe
ty devices add to the cars appearance
and thus not only help protect the
owners original investment, but add
to it. A spotlight attached to the
windshield and played upon the road
may prevent wrecking the car in a
ditch.
Take efficiency as another instance.
A car that is operated without proper
regulation of the cooling system is at
all times running inef1iciently This
is especially true In winter when the
engine is constantly operated at the
wrong temperature, either boiling over
because the radiator is covered with
the lap-robe or running cold because
there is no covering at all. The mar
ket now offers several radiator covers
with openings which can be operated
from the dash.
Along the efficiency line are other
devices which are destined to filter
the gasoline before it is admitted to
the carburetor, thus preventing the
entrance of dirty or watered gasoline
to the carburetor or engine. A device
of this character may pay for itself
within a month after it is installed.
Then there are shock absorbers,
which in addition to giving greater
riding comfort, save the springs from
breakage on the rebound and thus in
crease the usefulness of the car Dy
preventing breakdowns. Even cut
outs which were at one time regarded
as toys for the speed maniacs are now
shown to have a very important use.
Regardless Of the selling points OF
each accessory or all of them as
group, it is a fact that any one OF
them adds to the secondhand value OF
car. So the motorist not only has
the use of the accessories with which
he euuips his car and the savings on
insurance, Inconvenience, repair bills,
etc, but he gets return premium
when he goes to sell the car.

Good Advice Is to Give
Machine the Once-Over

There's economy, also satisfaction
in giving your car the once-over In
the spring, then If it needs replace
ments or anything else to bring 1t back
to perfect form, have 1t done as quick
ly as possible.
Naturally the toll Of years driv-
ing is most severe, and generally there
IS reminder or two. Right here the
old stitch in time principle works out.
When the car is restored to its best
shape. almost as good as the day It
was bought, riding in it is far more
ENJOYABLE. also 1t will bring much
better price If you care to sell or ex-
pect to trade it in on new car.
Letting your motor car run down Is
false economy. Eventually It costs
you more and in the interim you are
not happiest when riding along the
highways.
Even little things which you may
think are of no special consequence
develop into big items i'll repair bills
if allowed to run on without Interrupt
ton.

ANYTHING These Days

Running downfall recently a driver
found to his utter surprise that q
motor truck, supposedly at rest in the
downhill position on the right side Of

backwards. The driver could not get

nearly lost control Of his machine try
ing TO dope it out, which showed that
he was not prepared to expect post
anything nowadays. The truck driver
was utilizing the lower gear ratio OF

Tying in Spring Leaves
VIII Prevent Spreading

Since the leaves in a spring have a
tendency to spread apart, it is often
hard to replace the spring tie-bolt in
autos or trucks.
The easy way is to grip the head Of
the tie-bolt in wise, and put all but
the last four leaves one on top of the
other. The last four leaves are put on
crosswise, or spread around like the
ribs of an umbrella, which allows thu
nut to be easily started on the bolt.
With the nut on the bolt, swing the
bottom cross leaf into place. Then
each succeeding leaf will slide easily
into position Then tighten the tie
bolt nut. OF course, the clamps or
each end will have to be removed I'M,
til the spring is assembled.

Sikhisnl Newest Religion

About 100000 residents of north
western India in the Punjab district
are followers of the newest religion
of accepted standing, as differentiated
from passing modern fads or cults.
The teaching arose from the profess
sion of a young Hindu prophet about
the time of Luther 1t differed from
Christianity in the belief of transmit
grafton and fatalism. MiIitarism was
added in self-defense when other Hin
du tribes attacked the Sikhs. The
Sikhs reject idols, caste, wine, tobacco
and infanticide. They are sturdy,
