TIRES NOW BETTER
AND WEAR LONGER
Days Passing When Owner Must
Suffer Affection Second Only
to Measles, Is Belief.

Do you remember the days when
an automobile owners tires gave. him
trouble second in degree of annoy
ance only to a bill collector or the
measles?
That day is not so far distant, but
tire men say that it Is fast being
relegated to antiquity in so far as mo-
tordom is concerned. Investigation
reveals varying factors for the i'm
provement, all of which are equally
important.
First of all, tires are made better
now and are capable of longer wear.
Standardization of production is
largely responsible for this advance.
ment by the tire industry. Modern
factories now turn out tires with
great regularity and have brought the
variation of the product to mini
mum.
Balloon tires have aided in writing
a new chapter in the history of the
tire industry, and tire men declare
that now they are superior to the
high-pressure tire for many purposes.
When first introduced, this type Of
tire regularly underwent a short
period during which the kinks had to
be eliminated. Development, however,
has shown marked improvement in
this respect.
Better roads both in cities and rural
districts have been responsible for tire
service improvement, according to tire
experts, who declared that paved
roads do not "break down" the tire
as did the old rutted gravel and dirt
roads. since the newer type of high
way is both even and smooth.

The 'life of the party" who drives
at so miles an hour very frequently
puts an end to it later.
Used Car Always Ready.

II don't believe I can drive that
far in a day." says the typical motor
list, contemplating a 300-mile jump.
I'm not in trim"
And vet this same motorist will
expect his car to take him any dis
tance any time regardless of whether
it is in trim.
Some day-and that day is not so
far distant-motorists are going to
realize that a used car is preferred
property, Just as an active man is a
business asset for any company. Cars
that are used are invariably in trim.
The car that Ia going day and night
always is ready for the long trip. or
the hard trip, because 1t has to be in
good condition to stand the daily
grind. The car that is never really
ready is the one that stands in the
garage all week. 1t may have
water leak, or it's carburetor may not
be adjusted for the change in the
weather.
Cars are like their drivers in a
great many respects, and the matter
of being in trim is one of them. Ex-
ercise is vitality essential to good
service from a car.
This is clearly demonstrated when
a car has been in storage for long
period. Everything is stiff when the
car starts. Things do not work at
their best. Tires are low, springs are
rusty, even the stale gas in the tank
makes the engine loggy.
The car that Is in trim never acts
this way. 1t is always ready, always
capable Of meeting the demands.

Road builders are asking the public's

The request sounds feasible.

planning to avoid traffic and make
time by following a trail not so well
worn. With his balloon tires and
spring stabilizing devices he may not
object to the condition of the first
rough stretches Of the lesser used
highways, but pretty soon he finds
himself deep in an old-fashioned coun-
try road where his plans come to a
sorry end. If he does not retrace his
steps. or otherwise return to the main
highway, at least he resolves never to
try that stunt again. Thus he clings
to the main highway, congesting 1t
and wearing it out so quickly that it
In turn is always in a state of repair.
Deputy Chief Engineer Hewes of
the United States Bureau Of Public
Roads, touched upon this point in q
recent statement when he wrote:
''In the future 1t would be well to
consider extending the service of the
State highway departments In a more
effective way to the counties"
That future apparently has arrived

14O MILES AN HOUR
POSSIBLE FOR AUTO
Authority on Fast Cars Notes
Mechanical improvements
Increasing Speed.

Three big mechanical improve
ments to racing automobiles are cred
tied by Harry Miller, noted authority
on the construction of fast cars, with
the largest share in making it possible
to attain a speed of 140 miles an hour
or more. They are better spark plugs,
the supercharger and finer operating
parts generally.
1t was pointed out by MIR. Miller
that the performance which featured
racing automobiles d few years ago
now may be expected from standard
cars.
Compression pressures of 80 and
100 pounds per square inch were con-
sidered high only few years ago."
he said. To-day those pressures are
fast becoming the vogue for standard
cars. while compression pressures up
to 140 pounds a square inch are not
unusual in racing automobiles. When
we consider that it is necessary to
produce some 200 horsepower from
engines which normally would be
rated at about Is ii is imperative that
the parts which make this tremend-
GUS step-up possible be rs nearly
perfect as human ingenuity can de-
wise"
According to this authority. spark
plugs aided materially in getting rae
ing cars above the speed of l16 miles
an hour. Then came the super
charger, to force the gas mixture into
the cylinders under high pressure, in
stead of having II taken in under
atmospheric pressure. This device,
in combination with the improved
spark plugs and other better operat.
ing parts, Mr.. Miller believes, makes
it possible to point the way to greater
accomplishments on the speedWays.
Just how much faster we shall be
able to go no one can tell yet" he
declares.

Jumping Is Justified.

If a motorist is insured for the
financial loss resulting from injury
sustained while riding in an automo-
bile and happens to get hurt while
jumping from the car in order to
attempt to avoid injury, the insurance
still applies, despite the technicality
that he wasn't in the car at the time
Of the injury. This decision was hand
ed down by a Pennsylvania judge in
the United States District Court Of
Appeals. The court held that the mo-
torist was justified in jumping in an
attempt to save his life. The decision
proves that in the eyes Of the judi
ciary 1t pays to use common sense.
Now comes a Brooklyn Judge to
recommend that violators of minor
traffic laws never should get into traf-
fic court. His argument is that in

Word About Compression.

Since compression can be regulated
to a certain extent by the use Of diff
ferent grades Of oil, depending upon
the condition of the engine and its
type. the use of cylinder head gaskets
Of different thicknesses and the use
of special piston rings. the question
arises as to whether increased com
preston always increases power The
answer is plain enough when the
facts are known.
If compression thus is increased
any accumulation Of carbon tends to
increase it beyond the safety limit,
the engine knocking as a conse-
quence. When the knock occurs,
power has to be used in combating
it. So long as carbon deposits can
be kept down and knocking prevent
ed, increased compression will give
greater usable power.

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS:

What would you think Of an owner
who left instructions to have the car
looked over and then left It locked so
the repairman couldn't take the car
out and find out what was wrong
with 1t?
I ask you because there's another
repairman on the street who got up
against situation like this recently.
It's goin' to cost the owner about 10
times what he figured on.
A diagnosis is absolutely necessary
before startin' repair work. In this
case the owner had a notion some-
thin had run shy of grease in the
rear axle. He heard strange noise.
What capped the climax was that he
had no idea how costly it would be
to take out the rear axles, the bear
ms and the differential gears.
The repairman thought it was
risky business. and he had an idea
that maybe there was nothin' serious
ly wrong. But the owner had insisted
on a prompt job. locking the ignition,
gears and doors of the car so that

Well. wish you could see that car
now. When they tried to remove one
Of the wheel bearin's. the mechanic
on the job got into difficulties. Things
seemed to be frozen solid, although
there was just enough grease around

soon, Of course, the part was nicked
up so YOU couldn't get wrench on H.
Then came the specialists with the

headway, but mainly in the direction
Of running the bearin' and the axle.
Finally they had to take off the Whole

And all on the theory that there
might have been something wrong

Both Need Practice.

Many owners have noticed that the
car does not run so well after it has
been in the garage for a week or so.
The question arises, however, as to
whether this isn't a delusion, the poor
operation Of the car being a result of
the drivers forgetting how to manipu-
late 1t properly.
Most motorists who have not been
driving for a number of days have
trouble starting. Even shifting gears
seems troublesome. OF course, it is
true that when a car stands, oil tends
to drain away, from the bearings and
the gears, but in q great many cases
the drivers mind also tends 10 drift
off the subject of driving.

KEEP CUSHION ATTACHED.

Where husband and wife drive the
car alternately, and where cushion
is needed for one and not for the other,
it is a good plan to have the cushion
fastened to straps that are tackled to
the back of the drivers seat. When
the cushion is not needed it can be
