TIRES
No LONGER.
FREAKS
Equipment Comes to Be Ac-
copied as Necessary to
Latest Model Cars

Automobile owners are beginning
to look on balloon tires as regular
equipment rather than something
so extraordinary that it is freakish,
according to Miller engineers who
have been making many investiga-
tions among the users Of low pres
sure tires. When these balloon
tires were first introduced the
average owner was proud to put
his low pressure tires through all
kinds of unnecessary tests and
strains.
The engineers contend that the
balloon tires were first designed to
give more ease in riding and more
freedom from trouble than the
ordinary high pressure tires under
the same conditions.
The fact that the balloon tires
will withstand more rough treat
ment and give more ease under
severe conditions than the regular
high pressure tires is merely Incl
dental and to get the best results
they should be carefully treated.
They do not demand undue atten-
ton but respond in service to
proper attention to air pressure and
road use.
When balloon tires are new the
air pressure should be watched
most carefully because, like a new
shoe, they expand with use and as
they grow older require more air
to give the same uniform pressure.
Balloon tires have proven them
selves to stand UP under extraor-
binary strains and to give service
under unusual conditions where the
high pressure tires cannot perform.
That balloons do these unusual
things. as we'll as the usual, more
gracefully and more comfortably to
the car user. does not mean that
they should be subjected to the
unusual more than is necessary
nor more than come up in the
ordinary life of a tire.

"Y0ur Friend-the Car"
prepared by the Public Infor-

Trade Association)


Whether your car is good
friend to you or not depends largely
upon whether or not you are a
good friend to it.
Perhaps you haven't even con-
sidered the possibility of making q
warm friend of your car. Many
haven't. Friends, to most people,
must be in human form.
An automobile may not be hui
man, but it certainly will not stand
for inhuman treatment. If it cant
be friend it can certainly be an
enemy.

owner to tackle a new line of >ac.
tfVity when considering his car. 1t
is changing the whole picture Of
car ownership.
Owners-a few-are finding that
IL they run down their cars other
people will take hand in it also
with the result that repairs and
depreciation go skyward through a
combination of abuse. On the other
hand they are commencing to see
that a kind act is almost instantly
reciprocated, the car delivering the
goods whereas it would otherwise
break down and be no friend to It's
owner at all.
There always has been a question
as to whether the average dog can
be encouraged to be a friend of its
master. Instances of dog friendship
have been questioned many times,
and despite the numerous cases of
dog heroism instances of friendship
and love for the master have fire.
quently been analysed as the result
Of circumstances. But everyone adj
mits that a dog can be made to
be an enemy.
The same thing applies to the
car.
If you doubt that it can be made
to serve you as a faithful friend at
least don't make the mistake of en-
couraging it to be your trouble
maker.

chrysIer Dealer Says Car Is
Frequently Blamed With
out justification

Too large a proportion Of COM
plants against the performance Of
cars is, in reality, a form Of COM
plant against the oYners' own
shortcomings as drivers, in the
opinion Of Whitney Leary, head Of
the local Chrysler agency, who has
Ween making an investigation in
order that misunderstanding can
be minimized as much as possible.
According to Mr.. Leary's view Of
the matter, many owners do not
know that they are complaining Of
their own failings, not the cars.
This is especially true Of the
matter of gear shifting he ex-
plains. Most drivers who have
trouble shifting a new car will
blame the car rather than admit
their own inability to handle clutch,
gears and engine properly. Whether
this attitude is conscious or uncon.
scious is ofterf a difficult matter
for an automobile dealer to deter
mine, but the fact remains that the
owner is the loser in. either. case.
ITO think that the car is re-
sponsible for lack of performance
that is entirely due to ones own
shortcomings is to keep on making
mistakes that are sure to result in
permanent damage to the car. Even
IL the owner knows in his heart that

cars fault. he continues to inflict
punishment upon the car in offer
ing his alibi.
Sometimes dealers are criticized
for telling owners that the car is
not always to blame, but the criti-
cism is unfair to anyone who knows
the situation. Isn't it a dealers
duty to put a driver on the right
track if he find that the driver Is
damaging the car through a wrong
frame of mind?"

Inc vacuum TANK is OlVl0eQ into
two compartments, connected by
q flapper valve. There is also
what is known as a suction valve
of the tank is as follows: The
suction valve opens, allowing the
vacuum from the suction stroke of
the piston to create a vacuum in
the upper chamber and at the
same time closing the napper valve
between the two chambers.
Explanation Simple Enough.
The vacuum in the upper
chamber draws gasoline from the
main tank into the upper COM
partment of the small tank. The

pressure, opening the flapper valve
and allowing the gasoline to be
discharged into the lower chamber

flows by gravity to the float
chamber of the carburetor. Simple
enough and it is not often that the
systems gets out OF order, but here
Is what may happen.
At the bottom Of the vacuum
tank is a drain, for eliminating
water or dirt that may enter the
tank with the gasoline. Once in
two months this drain cock should
be opened and about half a pint of
gasoline be allowed, to flow out,
carrying with it any sediment that
has collected. 1t is a very wise
precaution once every couple of
months to open a plug which is
placed at the top of the tank and
flush the tank out with gasoline.
Sometimes at slow speeds with

to let the engine run with closed

When the car has been left stand

this happens loosen the plug at the

NORTH SALEM, OHIO, IS
AN "ALL-FORD", TOWN

Turn the spotlight on North
Salem, Ohio.
That busy little community where
thrift goes hand in hand with prog
ress, has an unusual claim to
distinction.
1t is a 100 per cent Ford town!
Some time back a thrifty old
resident set a good example for the
village by purchasing Ford. The
rest of the folks, as soon as they
could afford a car, followed suit.
Today every property owner in
the place owns at least one Ford.
If you don't believe it here are
the figures!
The village has a population of
46, boasts 10 dwellings and the
popularity Of the Ford is attested
by the fact that thirty Ford units
cars, trucks and Fordson tractors
are in use there.

Trades Union Congress Up
holds Colonies Right to
Self Determination


SCARBOROUGH, Eng, Sept. T.
After heated debate between mod
crates and radicals the Trades
Union Congress today ended its
sessions with partial victory for
the radicals.
The congress, by a vote of 3,0S2,-
COO to 10000 passed a resolution
piedging itself to oppose British
imperialism" and to support the
right of all people of the empire
to self-determination including the
right to choose complete separation
from the empire
This marks the first time that
the trades union congress has gone
on record as directly opposing ''inla
rerialism," and 1t is regarded as a
aignal victory for the radicals with
in this movement.
The victory of the radicals was
tempered somewhat. however. by
the fact that the congress elected
eight moderates as members Of the
new general council, the most
powerful trade union body in Eng
land. The radicals had sought to
gain control of the council.

psychological, in bolstering the
morale Of extremists in the trade
union movement, conservative lead
ers said. They admitted, however.
that it will furnish encouragement
to those who are fostering restless
ness among the working classes.
Public interest centers upon the
reaction of the communists to the
resolution. as it has been reported
that the communists have set next
week for series of disorder
through Great Britain as an indi-
cation of their strength.
