Old Automobiles Value
Is Principally for Junk

Prices of junk metal have increased
greatly in the last year. Automobiles
of the vintage of three years back and
EARLIER were much heavier than those
of today because they contained more
metal.
Almost every dealer has stuck away
in the corner somewhere an heirloom.
1t is most likely car that in an en-
thusiastic moment he allowed more
for in trade than he ever can hope TO
realize on it. Perhaps at the time Of
the trade it was worth within $50 or
SIS of the allowance price. Since
then, however, 1t has steadily declined
in value. Its only value today is that
of junk. Now is the time to clean 1t
out. Sell it for what the junk man
will give and charge the difference up
to experience. The room it occupies
If storage had to be paid on it will
at the end of six months be worth
more than the car. No one wants a
car four or five years old that has
been lying back In the corner some
where. Call in the old iron man and
let him make an offer. Accept his
figure and then thank him for haul
ing 1t away.

Internal Friction Is
Cause of Heating Tires

II Is well known that after long
and fast run the tires Of an automo-
bile are found to be very hot, and
many have supposed this is the result
of the friction of the tire on the road.
Such is, however, not the case, at
least as to the greater portion of the
heat. The real cause of heating Is
the internal friction of the tire itself.
for as the tire is being constantly de-
Elected by contact with the road, the
various plies. or layers, which compose
the tire, do not act uniformly, and
consequently there is more or less mo-
tion between them, that results in fric-
ton and heat.
The greater the change in shape in
tire as it contacts with the road the
greater will be the friction. OF course
the harder the tire is pumped, the
less will be the detection; but 1t Is
evident that while perfectly rigid
tire would generate but little heat 1t
would fail in giving easy riding, SO
we must put up with some heating
and consequent wear of the tire.

Check Focus of Headlights

headlight that is adjusted today
may be out of focus tomorrow. A
severe bump is liable to throw it out.
To keep a check on this, first, be sure
a light is properly adjusted; then drive
into the garage and stop at any con-
venient place, noting where. Turn on
the bright lights and note the light
pictures on the rear Of the garage.
Then every time the car Is driven in
or out, an automatic check can be
made on the lights. If they have got
ten out of adjustment it will save time
and worry to fix them at once.

Despite its many uses, Kerosene is
also an agency of destruction. Ii you

through the rust and ruin the can. If

will not dry off properly, thus allow

PRECAST SLABS
FOR CROSSINGS
Bumps and Jolts Are Elini-
mated and Comfort Add
ed to Auto Driving.

Bumps and jolts encountered at a
poorly constructed highway railroad
crossing make it dangerous from the
standpoint Of public safety. Such a
crossing Is very destructive of tires
and other parts of the car, and helps
to ruffie the temper Of the driver.
Grade crossings Of precast slabs en-
body those qualities which are sought
by both the builder of the crossing and
the user of the highway. Such cross
ings are now serving traffic with en-
tire satisfaction in many sections of
the country Their advantages have
been demonstrated by hard usage un-
der exacting conditions.
Adds to Comfort.
The level, easy riding surface is a
great addition to the comfort of the
highway used. The slabs continue the
pavement across the tracks, and re-
duce the dangers of such crossings as
well as adding much to the comfort
of motorists, and reducing the wear
and tear on their cars. The contri-
button toward safety alone would JUS
tify the installation of such crossings
From the point of view of the rail-
road these advantages are important.
They point the way to freedom from
