Why Tires Tire

Why do car owners worry so over
the matter of tire treads? OF
course, it does not help matters to
slide wheels and thus virtually sand
paper off the treads. It does not
pay to go around corners on two
wheels. 1t does not pay to run with
wheels out of line. But the real
wear is not on the outside. It's in
the cords, especially in the walls.
When a tire strikes 1000 humps
and dips in a mile of driving, inter-
nal friction Is at high point. It
causes the average tire to disin-
tegrate rapidly and weakens the best
of them. BY picking out smooth
err road and saving 500 rough spots,
a tire will f1ex 100000 instead of
100000 times in the course of 10,-
600 miles. Other things being equal,
it is the same as doubling it's life.

The Old Mechanic Saws

Cars, just like the persons who
drive them, have chronic weak
nesses. But the real weakness
comes when owners are so foolish as
to yield to the temptation to force
a car to do what it cannot do.
Some engines will not stand high
speed. Others will not do much on
hills in high gear. Some will not

ahead is using his service brakes
when descending a hill but it does
not give true conception of the
degree of the downgrade. He also
may be using his emergency brake
to check the cars speed. Also if his
engine Is new, or if it has been re-
bored and is stiff, it will help to re-
tard the car. He may not have to
use his service brakes as much as

Judging tho Mixture

There is no need to puzzle over
whether the mixture of the car is
too lean or too rich during the
changeable Fall weather. There are
numerous simple tests that make
the answer plain and they can be
applied while the car is in daily
service.
II the mixture is too lean:
The engine will stall frequently in
starting. 1t will be necessary to use
the choke quite bit more. Until
thoroughly warmed up, the engine
will be inclined to lag through
obvious need for more gas, since
choking again always will give it the
extra fuel 1t needs. The engine will
knock more ON hills. It will heat
more readily. When descending hills
with the throttle closed. there will
be considerable popping from the
carburetor. 1t will pop back" regu-
larly in starting.
Tit Is too rich:
The engine will start without use
of the choker even after It has
stood idle for some time. 1t will
run loggy, or with a heavy feeling.
1t will smoke at the exhaust. 1t will
buck at low speeds in high gear,
when warmed up. Gas mileage will
be had, especially when driving in
traffic. There will be considerably
more oil dilution.

Know the Other Cars


It's an old thought in motordom
that you know what you are going
to do, but you don't know what the
cher fellow will do. 1t might pay
to pursue the thought little further
in the interest of greater safety.
Virtually every car owner knows
what hts car will do. but he is not
SO well acquainted with the ca
pacities of the other fellows ma
chine.
1t is possible for the alert motor
ist, the driver who sincerely is in
aerested in the elimination of many
OF the mishaps that mar motoring,
to learn a great deal more about the
inherent capacities of the makes of
cars other than the one he owns. A
little closer observation in traffic
will give every motorist fairly &C
curate idea of the efficiency of other
cars in starting, stopping and turn
ing and this knowledge. traffic
authorities say. would go far toward
eliminating many accidents.
For instance, If two cars meet at
an intersection and If one driver
knows that the limitations of the
other mans machine make it i'm
possible for him to bring the car to
standstill, he can prevent a col
lision by stopping his own car. The
same Is true of acceleration. 1t
takes a very keen driver to know
when use of the throttle is better
way to avoid an accident than re-
sorting to ones brakes. but such
knowledge can be useful In hundreds
of emergencies.
Making the utmost use of knowl-
edge gained in these respects, in
wolves a willingness to sacrifice
ones rights occasionally, but sacri-
fee of ones rights invariably is
less of hardship than an injury to
ones person or damage to ones car.

main batteries and unusual anti-air-
craft equipment; that French ships
also emphasize speed, and that the
American design counts heavily on

The Suffolk is credited in various
British publications with nine 8.inch
guns, 3inch armor amidships to pro-
tect her engines and light deck armor
over the engines. No speed Is indicated,
but to stay within 10000 tons, such a
ship could not well be in a 34knot

would imply virtually no protection.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Intangible Securities.
RY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

So far in this series the discussion
has been confined to bonds secured by
real estate or other tangible property.
Often. however, intangible property,
such as franchises. is put up as secur-
ity. Sometimes. too, the security is
stocks in a subsidiary corporation. Now
it is much more difficult to estimate
the investment rating Of a bond which
has a claim upon this kind of assets
than if it were secured by real estate.
In general more risk is involved. but
sometimes bonds which fall into this
group are highly desirable. A full
discussion of them involves the sub
iect of holding companies, which must
be reserved for later article.
Taking only the simplest case. now.
that of bond secured on stocks in
some other corporation, there are
three points TO be considered The
first is the intrinsic value of the stock
itself: the second is the value Of the
stock to the corporation which is
pedging it. and the third is the credit
standing of the corporation that puts
out the bond. IL the borrowing cor
poration should default on the bonds
and the holders should have to fore
close, the property of which they
would come into possession would be
stocks. and SO the matter OF first
importance is to estimate the value of
the stock. Such bond is strength
ened whenever the stock which is put
up a s security is essential to the car
rying on of the business of the cor
poration.
Finally we have to take into account
the credit of the corporation itself
For example, apply these three points
TO high grade bond. Atlantic Coast
Line. Louisville and Nashville collat-
eral trust As. due 1852. This bond is
high grade investment first because
Louisville and Nashville stock is very
valuable stock. Second. the bond is
sound because control of the Louis
Vile and Nashville is essential to the
business of the Atlantic Coast Line.
Third, the bond commands a high rat
ing because the credit of the Atlantic
Coast Line is high. Bonds which are
secured upon stocks are to be judged
in this fashion. Public utility holding
companies often put out bonds Of this
type. They are not generally as easy
to analyze, but the method is the
same.

General Board decided to stress pro.

reduction in gunpower and speed.
Some OF the younger officers favor
the heavy battery idea, but 1t is
doubtful that the plans call for more
than eight guns or that the speed
will prove as high as SO knots.

weight and increase speed through use
