The glossy finished leather substi- tute upholstery is better than the dull finished, the.- latter being prone to crack or lose its coloring material through friction, Use of the dull material brings a sort of half glossy finish and the cracking ceases, but it is better to get the bright finish in the first place, Keep your eye on the road. Many operators are continually looking down at their feet, at the accelerator pedals, etc, while operating This takes their attention away from the road," which is dangerous. With a little practice you can soon locate all the necessary pedals, etc, without looking tor them. This is the only safe way to drive. Along the same lines of safety is the practice of keeping your hand on the speed lever until you have finish- ed with it. You must watch the road while you are changing from one speed to another, and you cannot do this if you have to look down and find the speed lever several times, When halted by a traffic police- man or other obstruction, put gears in low gpeed and hold clutch out. As soon as you are signaled to go ahead let in clutch and are off with a touch on accelerated pedal. HINTS ON CARE OF TIRES. Tells of Commonest Causes of Poor Service. "Tire expense is one of the greatest bughears of motoring," says William H. Stewart, Jr., president of the Stéw- art Automobile School. "Especially is this trve with a heavy car, although the man who drives a light car has Wis share of trouble. One reason is because the average owner or driver does fot give his tires the attention they require. this respect, the motorist may save many dollars in the course of a year. "Of course, he knows that his tires should be kept inflated, but very few know the rule. = The pressure in the front tire should be eighteen times the small diameter of the shoe. For a 4-inch tire this should be 4 x 18, or 72 pounds. The pressure in the rear tire should be tweénty times the small diameter, or 80 pounds for a 4-inch tire. Some manufacturers re. duce these figures slightly, but the above rule is a very good one to go by. No one can estimate the pres- sure in a tire by looking at it or by kicking it to note the rebound. pressure gauge is absolutely essen- tial, and a serviceable one can be had for 31. It will save its cost many times over. This is due to the fact that a tire is rarely pynped hard en- ough unless it is tested with a gauge, and if the tire is soft it Bed too much' as the weight of the car is sup- ported on it, and when the car is run- ning this bending action weakens the Stir tires heats it and so shortens its ife. "A. fact frequently overlooked is that the tiré must be re-inflated at least onde a week. Although the in- fier tube holds air very well, it is por- ous and allows air tp leak out in time. This is due to the stall par- ticles' of sulphur working out and Nviing holes through which the air can piss. So test the pressure occa- sionally and re-inflate when neces- sary. "Keep off the car tracks. The tire is supposed to be supported on a flat sur- face. If it is supported<on one side and not on the other, as is the case when running on car tracks, a terrific breaking strain is catfsed in the fabric, which weakens and finally breaks. This practice also cuts the tread badly, It is cuite evident that the tire should not rub against the curb, as that tears away the side walls, Other causes of wear on the side are deep cuts and running through crushed stone. 4 "Make sure that your front wheels are in line. If they toe out or in they will wear away the tread in a short time. "By paying attention to these de- tails you will find your tire expense reduced materially; you will get bet- ter adjpstments, 4 you will be re- Heved of much of that haunting fear of trouble on the road."
