A small cut, especially in the tread of a rear tire, may permit the entrance of sand, which will work into a pocket between the tread and fabric. Such a sand blister soon wears through and makes a serious tire injury, the cure of which may be vulcanization. To forestall this, fill all small cuts with gum. ems eects THE CARE OF YOUR CAR Practical Advice That Will Help You to Get the Maxi- mum Pleasure, Comfort and Use From Your Automobile.

To Find Car Rattles. "The more expensive a car is the longer you expect it to run without rattles. Yet it is possible with even the lowest priced cars to keep the rattles out if one will catch them as they appear. They will come one by one, and if they are caught in the same manner they will not be nearly as hard to remove as they would be if they are allowed to ac- cumulate in a troublesome chorus before they are stopped. "A rattle found is a rattle half cured," says A. L. Lommis, in Motor. "Rattles in the brake linkage and other parts under the car can be found by shutting off the engine and allowing the car to coast in neutral gear. If someone stands or site on the running board while the driver does this, many sounds that have been difficult of location will be readily found. These link rods are a typical example of noise that will often defy the efforts of the driver to find, while another person sitting on the running board or. outside the car will have little or no difficulty." ----gn i Fill the Radiator, In the thermo-syphon cooling. sys- tem it is important to keep the ra- diator full or very nearly so in order that there may be adequate back re- sistance to keep the wates foreing ita way forward. It is better to add a little water frequently than to let the matter go until the engine begins to knock for help. -------- r Leaks. .4 One cause of leaks in the radiator fe that the vents in the tilling caps and overflows become choked, with the result that steam accumulates in the radfator, and the pressure, seek- Ing an outlet, forces an opening at the weakest point, A little attention to the/vent will remove the cause of the trouble.

Startling as this may appear at Prirst glance as the ming flashes through a lightning oalculation of what sugar costs for table use only, scientists assert emphatically that the "crude" of sugar, which is mo- lasses, is destined to furnish the gasoline of the future. Great strides in this direction are already reported by J, p. Foster, chemist for a large Sugar plantation on the island of Maui, Hawali, who is said to have produced a satisfac- tory "motor alcohol" out the lowly and sticky molasses. Experts who have' studied the proposition from every angle say the motor fuel of the future will be grown, not mined. as at present. There will then be no fear that this gasoline substitute will be exhaust- ed since as much can be grown from year to year as the country and the world will require. Since the world's available sup- ply of petroleum is known to be decreasing rapidly, the British gov- ernment has beg active in investi- gating possible substitutes and its chemists report that vegetable ma- trials containing Sugar, such as molasses, sugar beets and mangoes; those containing starch, as maize and other cereals and potatoes, and those containing cellulose, as peat, sulphite, wood pulp, lyes and wgod are suited for the production of mo- tor fuels of excellent grade. The fuel development by Mr. Fos- ter in Hawali is said to give more power, easier starting and more freedom from carbon than the best grades of gasoline now on the mar- ket. Moreover, in recent tests, it was used on motor ears without an adjustment of the carburetor. 5 ---------------- Graphite for Pneumatics. Flike graphite makes a good tire lubricant, giving an easy fit of the inner tube and reducing heating. It lasts longer than soapstone and has no chemical effect on the rubber, graphite being chemically inert Graphite also is useful for treating rims as a rust preventive. The ap- plication of a thin coat of quick- drying varnish to which graphite has been added until it is about the thickness of cream helps protect and conserve the rims effectively, ---------- Watch Rear Axle. The intense mechanical strain un- dergone by the rea careful watching. This part of the car is the center of intense mechani- cal activity carrying all the pushes and pulls and jolts and jars of the whole car. The car owner should therefore guard against any rear axle trouble. The safest way fs to have the axle examined by an ex- pert as soon as slight trouble de- velops. + inexpensive field, but in Bobby's dog was limping along on three feet Tige's not hitting "Look, daddy ! on all his cylinders."

Small Helen objected to having her throat sprayed: "I wouldn't mind so much it you would let me honk it myself !" She loved to pre- side at the horn. "Tommy, can you spell?" "Sure ! I can spell words of four cylinders!" "My goodness, Carlo!" sald Tommy, after a rough-and-tumhle romp. "I guess we'd better stop and let you cool off your motor." 7 ---------- Have You a Little Tow=Rope in Your Car? A dark and stormy night. Near midnight aad raining, A short cir. cuit, no lights, no horn and a dead motor. A mile away from home and no relief in sight. Friend wife worried and also friend husband. Suddenly a familiar car appears and stops, and -ain't it a grand and glori- ous feeling ? There's no chance to 80 homd under your own power, but perhaps you can get a tow. But Friend, Friend hasn't any tow rope; neither have you and again gloom. Suddenly you remember your tire chains and the towing problem is solved. You get home safely, but you immediately register a vow never to go out again, even in the city, unless you have some sort of a tow rope tucked away under the back seat. ' Tip On Washing Car. The car should never be washed in direct sunlight, If the operation is not carried out in the garage the vehicle should be in the shade while being washed. The direct rays of the sun striking on water causes heat ing, which tends to dull the finish. In the same way the hood should ne- ver be washed when it is hot, as di- rectly after a run. Emergency Extinguisher, he usually recommended sub- Stafice for putting out gasoline fires is sand, which certainly has many advantages. Equally efficacious for the purpose, sawdust, particularly if it has been soaked in carbonate of soda. The sawdust floating on the 1i- quid prevents air from reaching the fire, and also a certain amount of carbom-.dioxide 1s generated. While fawdust is nominally combustible, in reality it burns slowly at best, and actually discourages the rapid spread.
