In the district lof Kingston there has been a isteady increase in the number of { automobiles, motor trucks and motorcycles. This is due to differ- ent causes, such as the growing de- | mand for motor trucks as a means {of transportation, in the moving of heavy bulk freight, the improve- {ment of the Lighway, city streets and county roads; the reductions in the prices of cars early in the sea- son, and lastly the circlugtion of money, without which there would be no noticeable increase in the use of the automobile. Regarded as an index to the pre- vailing financial condition of the people, the incre:se in the use of the automobile shows that conditions, while perhaps not active in every line, are really healthy, for a very "Your Car Deserves One" The Boyce Moto-Meter saves many times its cost in less than a year.

The figures available up to June 1st are as follows: Num- ber of licenses issued to June 1st, 1921, 2,262; number of licenses is- sued to June 1st, 1922, 2,465, sub- divided as follows: Pleasure cars, 2,245; motor trucks, 178; motor- cycles, 42. The increase over 1921 is 203. Before the end of the calen- dar year the increase is expected to | be much greater. | The increase is very satisfactory | considering the business outlook at the beginning of the year. | J FACTS TO REMEMBER. | Some of the attractive features of a Briscoe Light-Weight Touring Car which we are now offering: -- 1. 'A strongly built Car with seven inch frame. A quiet-running motor. Low Gas consumption. Non glare lens. Smart pleasing body lines. Easy riding and comfort due to long springs. A price several hundred dollars below its actual value in the automobile market. ANGLIN BROS. Bay Street, Kingston, Ont. An ounce of attention is worth a pound of overhaul. An oiling a day keeps the repair man away. Look before you back. Spare the ofl and spoil the car. A rolling car gathers no crowd. A tool in the kit is worth thous ands in the garage. Service is as service does. Fools rush in where experts fear {to ride. A little knowledge of eleotrical systems is a dangerous thing. A skid to the wise is sufficient. | Warm Weather Deflation For Tires Not Needed The heat that is noticeable in a Absolute Evidence in Favor of Ground Cylinders All high grade automobile engines manufactured in this country as well as in Europe have their cylinder bores finish- ed by grinding. Some of the American cars that might be mentioned are: Apperson Brewster Cadillac Cunningham, Dorris / Franklin Haynes Mercer Templar Holmes Packard Winton o In fact, 84% of all the manufacturers of pleasure cary use engines with ground cylinder bores, and 91% of the com- mercial motors are ground. Heald Machines are used ex. clusively. Automotile owners we have one of these Heald Cylinder Grinding Machines, and can guarantee first class work. Cylinders is a selling point with many ears.

Hard steering may be caused by Wheels that are out of line, Ri ul in driving than men 0 tire after it has been run for a few i! hours is generated by the tire itself, i| due to flexing and bending of fabric ll and rubber, The amount of heat depends upon the rapidity and ex- ll | under-inflated tire heats more rap- || idly than a properly inflated and properly loaded tire. Similarly, an old tire, due to 'weakness is more sus- || tion than a new tire. i The strength factor built into the il | standard pneumatic tires of to-day is far above what the tire is ever called il upon to deliver, except under most | extraordinarily circumstances. Ex- perimental tests have shown that in l| order to blow out a new first-class || tire by additional air pressure, it is || necessary to exert a force of over li| thirty times the regular recommend- | ed pressure. ' Tire experts claim, therefore, that there is absolutely no reason, so far as a blgw-out is concerned, for a re- duction of air pressure before going out on long runs during hot days. lil The maximum increase In air pres- li | sure that could be expected, under | any condition, would not exceed fif- teen pounds--the average would not be greater than six pounds. This small increase in pressure will not blow out the casing. The motorist should not cos®ern himself over making inflation allow- ances for changes in temperative. The important point to remember is at all times to have enough pressure and that it is very rare that one has too much. Proper air pressure is ne- cessary that full service may be re- ceived. Friction Is Cause Of Much Power Loss The fact that 25 per cent. of the power of a motor car is lost by fric- tion makes motorists who know this realize how important it is that a motor car should be properly lubri- cated. Grease cups should be thor oughly cleaned and kept constantly filled with a good grease. It is very important that all bearings and work ing surfaces be regularly Inspected cleaned and lubricated. . f tions, -and-places where accessories Tubers May Be Used To Run Automobiles The steadily increasing demand for gasoline and the consequent discon- certing increases in the price of that form of motor fuel may, according to a despatch from Edmonton, result in the wider cultivation of potatoes. The connection is this: From 22 to 25 gallons of alcohol have been suc- cessfully produced from a ton of these common tubers and this alco- hol may be used as fuel in an inter- nal combustion engine. Fermentation and distillation tests are being made and if the fuel is proved satisfactory for general use it is possible that the potatoes may have more to do with an automobile than acting merely as a windshield wiper. The development is being attempt- ed as p result of the poor market for potatoes for culinary purposes and the consequent surplus stocks. | MOTOR NEWS | Care of Spare Tires. | Spare tires carried on the rear of | the car should not be placed near the exhaust pipe. The heat will ruin the rubber-composition. Something About Taxes. Automobile tax fees for a medium sized four-cylinder car hre as low as $5 annually in some parts of the United States. The same car in Eng- land would call for a tax of $62; in Spain, $46; Belgium, $18; France, $124, and Italy, $400, Careful Driving, Drive slowly and cautiously over a rough road, especially where large rocks stick up out of the roadbed. The blows from the rocks not only will ruin the tires, but also may be the cause of a broken spring or bro- ten steering mechanism. Keep Spare Fabric Covered. Two good rules to follow with re- gard to spare tires are to keep them covered so that they will not be sub- Jected to sunlight, and to use each spare for a day or two every month. Sunlight has a most harmful effect on rubber, whether the weather be hot or cold. Using the spare occas- fonally lengthens its life for some reason that the scientists have con- siderable difficulty in explaining, Grease in Brake Drums. When a leaky felt washer permits grease to exude on to the brake drum, 'the brake on this side will hold less effectively. In some cases, the brake becomes almost useless, but if it grips powerfully the effect of the grease will not be very ser- fous until] wet roads are experienced. Then the car will skid. If the oily drum is on the right, application of the brakes will swing the front of the car to the left. The explanation is simple. The wheel with the dry drum is locked solid while the greasy drum may hardly be retarded at all. The point to remember is that a greasy drum is much more danger- ous when the road is wet. Care For Universal Joints, The universal joint is usually one of the most neglected parts of a car. This unit has a tremendous amount of work to perform and unforun- ately is situated in the most inacces- sible place, a fact which encourages neglect. The high speed of the uni- versal joint also tends to throw out the grease which has been packed in the joint. More frequent fillings of this universal will prevent the rapid wear which otherwise takes place at this point and diminish the back-lash in the drive shaft which results from worn universals. Spark Plugs. 'Every time a spark plug is remov- ed for cleaning a little graphite should be spread on the thread. This will permit the plugs to be set down to their limit without danger of de- stroying the threads and at the same time the graphite will help prevent leakage of the gas under compres sion. The plugs will be easily remov- ed next time, Valve Stem Lubrication, As a general thing, the valve stems need no lubrication. If they stick be- cause of carbon deposits they may be cleaned by injecting kerosene into the air valve of the carburetor while the engine is running. Some of the kerosene will pass down the valve stem and soften and wash off the car bon. A mixture of one-half kerosene and one-half lubricating oil may be squirted on the valve stems. Another Method, It has been suggested as a means tion that e original purchaser's name be in various parts of the car, such as the frame, body, etc., of course being hidden from Immed- fate view. If the car is sold to Anoth- or person the gecond name could be stamped beneath that of the original owner and the date of sale placed alongside. This could be continued as often as the car is sold. -- Follow Golden Rule. Lack of courtesy and a failure to recognize the reasonable rights of ys- ers of highways have frequently been cited as faults of many owners and operators of motor vehicles. 2 of solving the stolen motor car ques- |- Touring *535 F.
