Shabby Tires Are Not
Favored for Any 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 a decrepit tire and putting
it back into service at a 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 it will
be able to deliver all the mileage built
into 1t 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 WELL
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.

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 a commercial value. The InSei-
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 a kettle with lid
that will not fall off. portable fire,

relatively for gauging the speed Of ma
chinery, and a machine for bending
rods and tubes.
Sir William 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 a tin beneath the perches.
When the chickens wake and peck at
the corn spring is released which
opens the door of the house.

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

Now and then in the course OF al
automobile trip car has to pass
through a 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 wetting is practically moth
ing at all, either for damage or i'm
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 yege-
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 we'll 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 a brook resulted
IN cooling a tire the effect woulC be
decidedly beneficial, but quick dash
through the water has little effect on
the heated air within the tire and
consequently the temperature change
n the tire after it's 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. Cord
tires stand humidity better.
The harmful effect Of moist air is
the chief reason why, when tires are
stored, they should be kept in dry
atmosphere. AS sunlight is also harm
full, the storage place should be dark
ened.

DIG FOR RELICS
LEFT BY ROMANS

Some of Englands unemployed re-
Gently became seekers of hidden treas
ure. The first job to which several
score of men were assigned was that
of excavations at the Roman Rich
borough castle, near Deal which work
is designed partly to solve the mys-
terry of great pile Of concrete sub
stance within the center of the ruins,
the Boston Transcript says.
Bronze brooches and pins, believed
to have been used by the women of
those days for fixing up their hair,
were unearthed recently, as well as
parts of bronze statues, chains and an
embossed gold ornament, also probably
worn by women. About ninety Ro-
man coins were also dug up by the
excavators, among them being gold
piece of the Emperor Arcadius dating
from 388 A. D. to 1916 A. d.

Good Advice Is to Give
Machine the Once-Over

There's economy, also satisfaction
in giving your car the once-oyer In
the spring, then If it needs replace
ments or anything else to bring It back
to perfect form, have it done as quick
ly as possible.
Naturally the toll Of years driy-
ing is most severe, and generally there
is a reminder or two. Right here the
old stitch in time principle works out.
When the car is restored to it's best
shape. almost as good as the day 1t
was bought, riding in it is far more
ENJOYABLE also it will bring much
better price If you care to sell or ex-
pect to trade it in on a 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.

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

It 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 a
number of accessories being offered
which are similarly regarded, which is
the same as saying that they would
be appreciated if only their advan-
tages we're 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 inefficiently. This
is especially true in winter when the
engine is constantly operated at the
wrong temperature, either boiling over
1aa iof 0y. Will
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 by
preventing breakdowns. Even cut
outs which were at one time regarded
as toys for the speed maniacs are now
shown to have very important use.
Regardless of the selling points OF
each accessory or all of them as
group, it is fact that any one OF
tha,n adds To the secondhand value OF
a car. SO the mot6rist not only has
the use of the accessories with which
he eouips his car and the savings on
insurance, inconvenience, repair bills,
etc. but he gets return premium
when he goes to sell the car.

Tying in Spring Leaves
Will 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 a 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 the
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 on
each end will have TO be removed I'M
til the spring is assembled.

THE PRINTING PRESS

Teddy's father owned a newspaper
and some day when Teddy grew older
he was going to own a newspaper, too.
Maybe he would share with his daddy,
or his daddy would share with him.
Either way 1t would be all right.
They would work together and others
would work with them. They would
be most fearfully busy all the time
but they would always enjoy them
selves.
| No matter how hard they worked 1t
would be fun. For there would be so
| many excitements. There would be
news to gather and stories to write.
Teddy knew how news was gath
cred. 1t wasn't just picked up as one
picked up or gathered flowers, or veg
etables. You telephoned and you went
around and talked to people and peo-
pie came around and talked to you
and they told you they had had a
party, or that they were going to have
party and they told you who the
guests had been and what refresh
ments were served. And then every
ones name was in the paper and that
was fun, for ones name looked so
nice in the paper always. Much nicer
than in everyday, ordinary speech.
There would be jobs sent out-pro-
grams printed and circulars telling of
some big event that was going to hap
pen. and little boys would come and
take these about, just as Teddy some
times did now.
Then there would be particularly
big day in the week when the paper
went to press and a man stood by 1t
and watched the papers come off, COW
cred with all the news, all SO neatly
printed in columns of type.
Teddy had been over the Office many
times. He knew all about it. When
they were busy he didn't bother to
ask questions or to get in the way,
but sometimes when they had a little
time they would explain how every
thing was put together and how 1t
came out as it did.
There was a beautiful smell Of ink
and presses and machinery about his
daddy's Office 1t was a very glorious
place.
Then one day his daddy told him
that they were expecting a big press.
The one they had would still be used
for some jobs but bigger one was

Anything These Days

Running downhill recently a driver
found to his utter sdrprise that a
motor truck, supposedly at rest in the
downhill position on the right side of
the road, was actually going uphill
backwards The driver could not get
it through his head for moment and
nearly lost control of his machine try
ing to dope it out, which showed that
he was not prepared to expect most
anything nowadays. The truck driver
was utilizing the lower gear ratio Of
reverse in order to enable the engine
to pull up an extra heavy load.
