CARE OF INNER TURES VERY IMPORTANT ITEM Some Expert Advice on the Proper Methods to Qet Most Mileage. Motorists should be cautiohed against using too much tal¢ when in- serting inner tubes in/ casings. There are several powders for keeping the tube from sticking the casing, among these being soapstone, gra- phite and tale, but the use of too mach pi any of these proves disastrous and a collection of substances in one place eats irty the vubber. If, on the other hand, no powder be used, it will te only a short time before the heat generated will cook the tube. Under-inflation is equally injurious to the tubes. tWhen the undorin- flated tire passes over a stone, both casing and tube. are jolted against the rin and sooner or later a leak (ai develop. All tives should be in- flated to the standard preseribed by the manufacturers. If' a tire deflates suddenly the car should he stopped immediately, as continuous running meahs that the casifig mist slip cireumferentially, ripping the valve stem out and tear ing the tube. Band in a casing is another cause of the ruination of a tube. It often happens that a motorist while repair ing a puncture on a rod permite the tube and casing to pick up particles which create a frigtion later and even- tuslly tiny holes "assert themselves which will scurcely show when the tube js submerged in water.

(Fact for the Motorist) -- g Tires In Hot Weather. Most motorists have a wrong im- pression about the increase of air pressure in tires in warm weather, according to a rubber company mang ger. The belief is quite common that on hot days the air pressure may in- trefise to the point of causing a blow- vut. The heat does not come from the temperature of the air outside, but irom the natural flexing of the tire as it rolls over the road or street. "As this heat is due to the bend- ing of the tive,' he explains, "the sume amount of heal is created re- firdless of the outside. temperature. fost tire users believe that to over- come this efféct the pressure must be- | decreased, and the common practice {2 tc fun tires at a lower pressure on hot days. This increases the bending of he tire enrcass and thé motorist vi tually aggravates the condition that seeks to relieve. =~ Bit 1s true that on a very hot day the air préssure in tires-that dre used continuou, by increases slightly, but rever sufficiently to cause an injury to the tive. There is more danger in des creasing the presure than in péie mitting it to inerease, for after the tires have rested a while the gir pres gure will drop and there is always the danger that the motorist will omit tb put in enough air to bring the pres- sure up to the required point." sine $ Emergency Anti-Skid. A summer shower occasionally makes it necessary for the driver of a truck equipped with solid fires to use some emergency device to pre- vent the skidding acd slipping of the wheals. At i a time the tire chains are usually in the garage and some makeshift has to be provided, In such an emergency a rope wia around \he tire at Jitorvels. will ve the traction nece: and éven less injury to. tires chains.
