TIRE BUYING IS BACK

Tire buying again is back on quail

Nlanufa cturers who previously had
not pushed this type of tire began to
place more empha sis upon 1t. rot nding

cars. and went out into the market
to sell on a price basis.

tires back to normal, however. buying

The owner is reaping the reward Of
greater mileage and relatively lower

Reasons for Optimism.

Whether one should be optimistic
over the future of the automobile in.
dustry in America is simply answered
when one has the facts at hand. Last
year. the peak year in production.
there were $4,000, 100000 on deposit
In savings banks, over $4,000 ,000, 900
in building and loan associations and
sc. 900, 100000 of life insurance in
force. The wholesale value Of motor
vehicles produced was $500, ,000,0 900.
Adding dealers profits. war excise
taxes and freight and delivery charges.
the public spent approximately $4.100.-
900, 900 in buying 1925 automobiles.
Despite the constant increase in the
value of cars sold, the public con-
tinues to carry larger bank balance,
more life insurance and more build
ing and loan. And this does not
take into consideration the vast
amount of money invested in real
estate and corporations.

REPAIR EFFICIENCY
TEST HELD SIMPLE
Motorist Can Tell How Shop Does
Its Work by Casual Glance
Around Establishment.

Ready guides are availa BILE for the
motorist who is interested in learn
ing whether the service and repair
esta blishment to which he brings
his car Is efficient Sometimes. 1t
Is possible to appraise the merit Of
shop and its workmen with the
expenditure of no more energy than
that required to give casual
glance.
How is the establishment kept?
Are the tools scattered around in
a palpably inefficient disarry? Are
the floors covered with oil and
grease? Are the workmen slovenly
in appearance
That it would pay motorists to
make such an inspection is the opin-
ion of Rudolph Jose, local Cadilla 2
dealer, who declares that the serv-
ice or repair establishment that is
capable Of doing the best work shows
its capability in the way the vari-
Gus departments of the shop are
maintained.
The motorist who processes in
terest in the question Of economical
and satisfactory car service and re-
pair too often fails to apply the
most simple tests to determine
whether he can expect expert and.
at the same time not excessively
expensive work
Throughout the automotive in
dustry. it is the practice to charge
repair work by the hour. This hour
includes the time required to marshal
the array of tools and other equip
ment that the mechanic and his
helpers will use on a particular piece
Of work. Is 1t logical. then. to sup
pose that the motorist is getting the
best results If the men assigned to
his job spend much of 1he time
searching for the tools necessary
to it?
AN efficient and perfectly co-ordi-
mated stockroom is another vital
factor. 1t Is simple matter to deter
mine how efficient this part Of a
repair stablishment is. A motorist
can tell from the time the repairer
spends at the window of the stock
room Just how we'll orga nized ia this
part Of any shop.
THE motorist might do we'll to
apply these tests to the shop to which
he next takes his work"

OZONE BEING USED
IN INSULATION TEST
Unique Principle of Physics Is
Utilized to Gauge Suit
!. ability of Gable.

A peculiar and interesting method Of
testing the rubber insulation on elec
trio cable by means of ozone is de.
scrihed by F. l.. Haushalter Of the B.
r. Goodrich Co. in the current issue
e: he Journai Of the Society Of Auto
motive Engineers. Like many other
tests applied to materials. finished
parts and assembled articles. the use
Of ozone is the application Of one Of
the unique principles of physics
The effectiveness of the test depends
upon the production Of ozone bt an
electric current Of high potential volt
age. up to $4,000 volts being used,
which breaks apart the atoms of oxy-
gen in tire air. The oxygen atoms
then reunite in groups Of three. form
ing ozone. which has a much more ac-
tive oXidiZing effect than ordinary
oxygen.
Bombardment of Ions.
According to one theory, corona.
which usually is detected by a purple
glow and kissing sound. is the result
of A bomba rdment Of gas ions, which
multiply with increasing velocity as
the potential of the electric current
Is increased. and the corona is started
by the energy of the rapidly moving
ions necessary to produce ionic satu-
ration.
Soft vulcanized rubber insulation
cracks quickly when subjected to the
ozone if the rubber is stretched even
small amount, according to Mr..
Haushalter, who states that crude un-
vulcanized rubber cracks in even a
shorter time when stretched. but that
when under compression neither vul-
canized nor unvulcaniZed rubber
cracks under this test. Protective
cnatings of cellulose or fabric mitigate
and often prevent cracking Of the
stretched rubber. Curiously, however
the more the rubber is stretched
beyond certain degree the more It
resists the action of the ozone, due.
perhaps. to the greater hardness Of
the rubber under the higher tension.
Stands Test Best.
A rubber insulated ignition cable
used by A prominent automobile com.
pany resisted the corona test for one
hour without any sign of cracking
while another sample Of rubber-cov.
cred cable cracked noticeably in three
minutes.

Fall Makes Mileage Fall.

Gas mileage is on the decrease at
this season Of the year and should not
show any signs Of improvement until
Winter comes. 1t is a difficult season
for the engine. particularly so because
owners do not appreciate 1t.
Many a car that stands in a heated
garage on Winter nights has to stand
er during the Fall. The owner expects
a quick start in the morning, forgets
to enrich the mixture to suit the new
conditions and chokes excessively to
make the engine perform the way he
thinks 1t should.
Many engines during Fall are run
ming too cool all Of the time. There
are just enough hot days to make
radiator coverings impra cticable. but
in the meantime low gas mileage be-
comes the rule through excessive cool

Three Traffic Tricks.

Good brakes tend to make the driver
feel that mere pressing OF the service
brake pedal will be adequate for all
occasions. But in all driving it be-
comes necessary now and then to jam
on the brakes. If the car does not
seem to be stopping quickly enough.
release the brakes a moment and
again step on them vigorously.
Modern low bodies and wide tenders
leave the driver only, one alternative
for safe signaling. He must hold out
his arm far enough for It to be SEEN.
Don't get behind new car in traf
fic. The driver may be taking It easy,
and progress necessarily will he slow.
