Making Left Turns and Parking Parallel
Declared Test of Motorists Weakness

Motorists would be more careful in
making left turns and in parking their
cars if they realized that no other
driving features so quickly show up
the individuals weakness in handling
his car, in the opinion of Oscar Cooli-
can, local Packard dealer. II all
drivers would hold the mirror up to
themselves in these two phases of car
operation many quickly would dis
cover room for improvement in their
technique, Mr.. Coolican believes.
Regarding the left turn, the really
motor-wise driver knows that it can
be made today in generally shorter
radius than ever before. But. not all
drivers are motor-wise. They still
sweep far out to the right before
heading in the direction they intend
to go. 1t is not necessary. The
proper place from which to make a
turn TO the left is the middle of the
street.

TIRES ACCUMULATE
FOREIGN SUBSTANCES
hore Than 5000 Objects Removed
From Castings Used by Motor
Bus Line.

More than 5000 pieces of destruc.
tive material, ranging from tacks to
pieces of brick and, in one case, a
piece of an automobile spring nine
inches long. were taken from the tires
of the busses of one operating com
pany over a period of time extending
for less than six months
At the end of each day the bus tires
were carefully examined and all
foreign particles removed. These were
saved, and the mass accumulated so
rapidly that soon it weighed several
pounds.
The constant pressure on the tire,
according to experts of the Miller Tire
Co, causes these imbedded objects to
penetrate to the fabric with destruc-
tive results. For that reason tires
should be carefully examined as often
as possible and all foreign substances
removed. Holes in the tread also
should be plugged, it is advised.
In the accumulation picked up by
the busses were several marbles with
surfaces worn fiat, a large three
cornered piece of brick which had
penetrated the fabric and many lacks.

Unless police officers at street inter-

unison, automobiles were halted every
block. The test in 1912 consisted in
stationing traffic policeman with a

where there is a slight rise, so that
he could be seen from Chambers street
on the south and from Canal street
on the north Whenever he moved
