THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG Why it Pays to Insist Upon Gum-Dipped Cords Tires l6ok much alike be- fore they go on your car. But tires do not wear alike. It is the things you cannot see--the hidden values-- that determine tire life and ultimate cost. You can make sure of obtaining a fire that wears better and so costs the least in the end by insisting upon Gum-Dipped Cords. Gum- dipping insulates each cord with pure, live .rubber-- prevents wear by keeping the cords from rubbing against one another. Firestone Cords gre gum- di .< It is this Firestone dipped that multiplies mile- age and noticeably reduces tire costs in a single season. Firestone Tubes are steam- welded -- therefore leak- proof. is * keeps tires properly inflated and better mileage results.

GEAR MESHING DIFFICULTY | would smooth up the cylinder [Tae uns) H. C. H. asks: Why is it that L am sometimes unable to shift the gears of my car into reverse or low? The other morn- ing. I found that I could not en- Sage 'low or reverse, but could mesh second and high speeds and it was only after I had pushed the car out fir the yard and disengaged the clutch several times, that I could get it into reverse. Answer: As the clutch of your car is of the disc type and dperates in the general oll supply of the Power plant, quite likely the oil gets thick enough to prevent full cluteh disengagement and thus causes the clutch shaft and count- haft gears to spin, after you ave pushed the clutch pedal. This would cause the gears to clash, 80 that you could not mesh them. Possibly the clutch pedal strikes the floor boards so that the discs are not separated as fully as they should be. Until you correct this trouble, Why don't you en- gage' low you start the engine and hold out the clutch until the engipe i= run- ning.

I have had oversize pistons and new rings tied with 'the idea that they 'When The Dri a ar or reverse, before | bores, but they seem not to do Do you advise me to have the block rebored or to Bet a pew block? =~ Answer: We believe that you can have your old block recondi- tioned and. refitted cheaper than you can buy a new block and a new set of pistons and rings and think the results thus obtaine will be just as satisfactory. Ther Is never any reason to expect tha new pistons and rings will smooth up scored cylinder walls. The mutual friction of rings on cylin- der walls will lap out minute irreg- ularities that are due to the im- perfections of machining opera- tions, but it will not go further than this and, in fact, tendency is for piston friction to make cylin. der walls more irregular rather than to make' them more perfect. --doinn TESTING ALCOHOL ANTI- FREEZE F. E. D. asks: Is there any in- strument for testing the strength of alcohol anti freeze mixture, which will give correct indiestions whether the solution tested is hot or cold? Answer: There are Instruments on the market with two scales, one giving the freezing points when used in hot solution and the other when used in cold. There are also struments to be had. which embody a thermometer in addition to the hydrometer and by means of which the temperature 'of the liquid tested can be ascertained. By means of & vorrection tabie furnished, the corrected hydrom- eter reading and hence the exact freezing point of the liquid can be determined, when its temperature has been taken into accoust. ve Wheels Slip WHENEVER THE REAR WHEELS cease to turn, with the car still In motion, or turn without moving the car correspondingly, there is rela tive motion between the tires and th one result--to wear away the treads e road surface and this can have but The rate of this wear depends upon the weight carried by* the slipping wheels, their adhesion to the road and the character of its surface . If the wheels stop turning and the car keeps moving, all the wearing effect of the slippage is concentrated upon the small area of the tire Which is in contact with the road and a poo Sot may be worn in the tread » possibly so deep as to expose the future destruction by dampness.

The Studebaker Light-Six Touring Your Next Car Will be this Light-Six, if you learn the truth When you buy a car in this class, here are some things you should know. Studebaker is the largest builder of quality cars in the world. It builds 150,000 yearly. It builds in model factories, modern! equipped. It has spent $38,000,000 in the past five years on new-day plants and machinery. By quantity and up-to-dateness it saves large sums per car. A car like this Light- Six, built under ardindry conditions, would cost you from $200 to $400 more. 11.4% less to run This extra quality shows in lower oper- ating costs. This was proved by an audited test made on 329 cars running up to 25,000 miles. The Studebaker Light-Six costs 11.4% less to operate than the average of its rivals. This includes depreciation. The saving was nearly one cent per mile. This car'in its chassis represents the best we know. In steels and workmanship it is identical with the costliest cars we build. Each steel formula has been proved best for its purpose by years of tests. On some we pay 159% premium to makers to get them exactly right. The car is designed and built under an engineering' department which costs us $500,000 yearly. Each car in the building gets 32,000 tests and inspections. - » It has more Timken bearings than any rival car within $1,500 of its price. The crankshafts are machined on all surfaces, as was done with the Liberty Airplane Motors. This to secure perfect balance. = There are scores of extra values, inclid- ing genuine leather cushions ten inches deep, unusual equipment, beautiful finish, An honored name The name Studebaker has for 72 years stood for quality and class. Now there are $90,000,000 of assets behind it, all staked on fulfilling those ancient traditions. People are learning of these extra values. The trend toward Studebakers has become a sensation. Sales have almost trebled in three years. Last year, ,145,167 people paid $201,000,000 for Studebaker cars, -- Don't buy a fine car without learning what Studebaker offers.
