BUMPS HARD ON TIRES.

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 sandpaper off the
treads. 1t 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 out
side. It's in the cords, especially in
the walls.
When a tire strikes 1000 bumps and
dips in a mile Of driving internal
friction is at high point. 1t causes
the average tire to disintegrate rapidly
and Weakens the best of them. By
picking out a smoother road and saw
ing 500 rough spots, q tire will fiex
coo 900 instead Of 10000.000 times in
the course of 10000 miles. Other
things being equal, it is the same as
doubling its life.

REPAIRING OLD CARS.
More Time Is Usually Consumed
Than With New Ones.

In all fairness to the men who keep
Americas cars in running order, it
should be said that the older a car is,
as a general rule, the more time is re-
quired to repair or replace any part
of it. This explains why il costs more
to have something done to an old car.
Frozen brakes. worn parts that must
be made to work with the new parts
and rust are contin-
gencies many owners do not figure on.
An old fender may require four times
as much time to remove as Il new one.

CARDBOARD OF SERVICE.
Often Useful in Outdoor Work Un-
der Automobile.

For outdoor work under the car,
a large piece of thick cardboard, such
as one might obtain from a broken
packing carton, makes an excellent
creeper. Regular creepers with roll
ers are useless on the grass or on a
gravel driveway, so when the mod
ern motorist gets busy out in the
open air he is at a disadvantage.
Some service stations use the card
board method and it seems to work
out we'll. With the extremely low
cars now becoming general, regular
creepers are not so suitable any way,
unless the car is lacked up before one
crawls under. which always is a dan
gerOuS process.

NEW HEAT INDICATORS.
Distance" Type Should Be on Ed
gine Side of Thermostat,

When equipping the engine with a
thermostat. it is necessary to remove
the radiator heat indicator and install
one of the distance" type which,
mounted on the instrument board. reg
listers the heat of the engine block
or circulating system. With a ther-
mostat, the circulation of water is
shut off from the radiator until q
temperature of 40 to 100 degrees is
reached. While this process is going
on, the meter on the radiator would
be of little value
In attaching the new type heat in
dicators, be sure to plug them into
the hose connection on the engine
side of the thermoStat, otherwise they
will not be any more serviceable than
d meter on the radiator.

WORK ON COLD ENGINE.
Testing Ignition Can Be Done Bet
ter Than With Hot Motor.

When testing the cars ignition sys-
tenn for possible deficiencies, it is best
to work while the engine is cold.
When the engine is run cold and
there develops a tendency to skip,
stall or he sluggish when the throttle
is opened suddenly, all you have to do
is note whether the trouble disappears
when the choke is pulled out slightly.
If this makes no change in the engine
performance. the chances are the ig-
milton is to blame.

USE BRASS HAMMER.
Softer Than Car Parts, It Will Not
Iniure Anything.

When it is necessary to hammer
shafts or other parts of a car in or
der to free them, remember to use n
hammer composed of some material
that is softer than the metal of the
part to be loosened. A brass headed
hammer is excellent for this purpose
since it is heavy enough to provide
a good blow and is soft enough to
WELD to the impact. This saves bat
tering up or breaking the part on
which one is working.

RUST FORMS EASILY.
Heat Generating on Springs Burns
Off Lubricant.

1t may come as a surprise to many
car owners who pride themselves on
their service methods TO learn that
sprin- leaves can rust even when
covered. ana W'on they seem to be
reekinL with lubricant. Between the
leaves Of u spring, at friction points,
considerable heat is generated. This
rapidly burns off the lubricant, and
soon heats the metal. Upon cooling
the particular parts of the spring
leaves are oNidzcd trustedD. Heat
and oxygen from the air combine to
form rust through condensation of
water.

 The action of the state police in forcibly breaking into the Jail to in stall the new sheriff was denounced by former Judge Joseph l., F, Con- nolly, counsel for Cummings. He de- clared that Cummings would have been warranted in shooting down any man who entered his jail in such a manuer' and threatened criminal and civil proceedings against the state police who took part in the assault" on the jail.
 Although the deputies said they did not know the men who arrested them, it was expected that they would be asked to identify them during the proceedings today. Con- molly has declared his intention Of swearing out warrants for the troop CTS.
