Close Watching Needed
by Tires During Winter

Winter, time is hard period for the
tires. ) Due to changing temperatures,
standing in the freezing cold part Of
the time, and kept in warm garage
at others, even tiny cuts In the tread
are more apt to develop into big holes
than in summer
Particles of ice and snow will lodge
in the little cuts, and when the car is
put in warmer place, this ice thaws,
wetting the fabric and in time leading
to gradual disintegration Of fabric
and tread. When the moisture here
next freezes it serves to do further
damage. Thus the alternate thawing
and freezing develop small tread cuts
into serious tire maladies.
1t is best to fill up all cuts with tire
dough, keeping out water as much as
possible. There are several excellent
preparations on the market to heal
tread cuts. and If applied strictly ac-
cording to direction. the cuts are effec-
lively sealed against the deleterious
effects Of winter driving over wet and
icy pavements.

Color Code Is Proposed
for Wiring Automobiles

To simplify the Identifying of the
various wires used In the electrical
systems on automobiles, trucks and
motor coaches In maintenance and
service stations, subdivision Of the
standards committee Of the Society
Of Automobile Engineers has recently
proposed a color code to be used for
the covering material Of electrical
cable.
In this code unprotected live wires
would be colored. red, while protected
live wires would be yellow. In pas
senger cars low tension or primary
ignition wires would be red with a
yellow tracer strand, wire from the
ammeter to the battery. would be red
with black tracer, that from the
lighting switch to the junction block
for the parking lamp and for all
ground connections would be brown
with black tracer, that from lighting
switch to tail lamp would be black,
wires to the bright head lamps would
be black with red tracer, and wires
: to dim head lamps and signal lamps
would be green. The color scheme
for motor coaches and motor trucks
Is very similar.
This proposal will 60 to the elec-
trical equipment division Of the stand
ards committee and, upon Its approx
al. to the standards committee as q
whole and finally to the council Of
tAo snciatv for adoutiou.

AUTOMOBILE NOTES

The driver who hits and runs away
may live to be arrested another day.
The life Of tires Is shortened by
violent acceleration.
Sheet lead is best for adding dead
weight to a car because it will take
up a minimum of room, does not rat
tie and can be readily fastened in
place.
The usual reports are coming In
about bees causing accidents by get
ting inside of automobiles. Bees in
somebody's bonnet have been known
to wreck party bandwagons.
Even If no automobile has ever
butted train off a track, we will say
for them that they are always trying
hard and never appear to be discour-
aged.

INTELLIGENCE IS
QUITE NECESSARY
Some Suggestions Advanced
to Help Drivers Make
Long Distance.

Intelligent driving rather than oc-
casional spurts at high speed Is rec
commended by the American AutOmo-
bile association as a time saver for
long distance motoring.
Speed alone will not aid the mo-
torist to reach his destination in the
shortest time, a statement issued from
A. A. headquarters asserts.
The association has drafted some
suggestions which, IL followed care
fully, should enable the motorist to
make, long distance in far better time
and entail fewer risks than when he
depends on speed alone.
First know where you're going. 1t
is quite surprising the number Of tour
lists who travel blindly, depending for
guidance on misinformation handed
out to them en- route.
"Know ferry schedules SO as to be
able to make quick connections. Pass
ing one or two cars at an advanta-
geous point often means saving long
wait by the rivers edge.
Learn to Shift Quick.
Learn the Importance of quick ac-
CELEBRATION and make every effort to
keep the engine In such condition that
It will help you save time when start
ing off from crossings after having
rounded curves and when passing
other cars.
Learn how to make quick
shift into second gear SO az to save
the brakes when descending hills and
to forestall possibility Of having to
wait at the bottom Of the hill until
the brakes cool off.
"Climb more hills In second gear.
A great many cars are built with Sec
ond gears which enable the driver to
climb grades easily at Is miles an
hour or more as against struggle at
20 to Is in high gear.
"Drive at an even pace and avoid
stopping. A few unnecessary stops
cut the speed average considerably.
Remember at high speed chances
Of tire or engine trouble are greater.
Watch speedometer More.
"Get behind a good driver who Is
making good time in safety. He Is
a good man to follow.
"Buy your supplies before you start.
1t saves slowing down to look for fill
ing stations that serve your favorite
gas.
Before passing through an unfa"
miliar city 1t Is better to- ask IL there
is a route that avoids Straffic. It's
the one stop on any tour that may
save considerable time.
Learn to watch the speedOmeter
more. Do not set out with the idea
of only seeing the fifties and sixties
come up on the dial, but see how often
you are driving little below 30 or
35 when you just as well could be
going these speeds.
"Take no chances of any kind. 1t
takes time even to lecture some one
who has scratched fender.

Mexicans Use Guns

Mexico City newspapers COM
plain that the city's traffic po-
lice are too loose on the trigger.
They urge the police to quit
shooting at violators of traffic
laws.
The objection Is that the pub
lie Is doubly imperiled. The
pedestrian is not only apt to be-
run down by automobiles, but
he also hazards being killed by
a police bullet intended for
motorist.
The newspapers say several

PROHIBITION.
WORLDC0URT,
ARE ISSUES
Many Fractional Struggles TO
BE Settled at Illinois
Primary Tomorrow

Chicago, April 12--(P)-The op-
portunity for Il constituency to ex-
press its feeling toward Il vote for
world court adherence by senator
will be offered in the Illinois primary
tomorrow.
In addition another question Of
current national ibition
will be involved to some extent,
while considerable local interest will
be centered in scrambled and fantas-
teal factional struggles.
The world court issue revolveS
around the fight for the Republican
nomination for United States sena-
tor. with Senator Wm B. Mckinley
defending his world court vote on the
premise of party regularity and in
support of President Coolidge.
Extends Through Entire Ticket
His opponent. Frank l.. Smith,
chairman Of the Illinois commerce
commission, has made this point his
chief campaign issue, virtually de-
manding "a referendum on Senator
Mckinley's vote. The world court
question has not been confined to
the senatorial struggle. but has eX-
tended through virtually the entire
ticket, even down TO races for minor
county offices.
Prohibition turks in the back
ground Of Republican congres ional
campaigning, but stands to the fore
in the Democratic senatorial race
Chief interest in the Democratic con-
test has been centered in the "silent'
campaign Of George Brennan. a ma
tional party man for two decades who
decided to run for an elective office
to bring attention to the prohibition
question. He has pledged his ener-
getic support toward repeating OIL
amending the prohibition act, il
elected.
/ His opponents are James I. McDer-
mott, former congressman, and James
o. Monroe.
To Prevent Disorders
Probably the sharpest campaign in
which prohibition is involved was
found in the fight for the Republi-
can congressional nomination be-
tween Representative Fred A. Britten
and Mrs. Berta Bauer. Gold Coas,
society woman, with both on the
same Standardization.
For the first time in history, the
federal government has engaged more
than 500 special deputies for duty
in troubled areas of Cook county to
prevent election disorders.

One Man Learns Story
70 Edgar A. Waite, Of the San

confidence, Burbank opened up the
chapter of his life that resulted in
his turning his energies and talents
toward the service of mankind. Waite
was given permission to publich the
story only after Burbank's death.
The details of the incident will be
told in copyrighted article to be

Unostentatious in life, Burbank
willed that his last rites be simple.
Judge Ben B. Lindsay Of the Denver
juvenile court, life time friend. was
on his way to take leading part in
the final services. Judge Lindsey
and Rev. Caleb S. Dutton of San
Francisco. Unitarian minister who
married Mr.. and Mrs. Burbank 10
years ago, will address public memor
ial services in the open air in one Of
Santa Rosa's parks. The Masonic
order, which had conferred upon Bur-
bank the 33d degree, will perform the
ritual Of the dead.
Public Barred
The public will not see the caskct
nor the interment. That is reserved
for the immediate members Of his
family.
At Burbank's request. Judge Lind
sey will rccite the famous funeral
oration which Robert 1ngersoll, noted
agnostic, spoke at the bier of his
