HOW TO CARRY YOUR EXTRA TUBE IN CAR Under no circumstances should an extra inner tube be carried in a pasteboard box or loose among the tools. An oilcloth bag is good if it ih to be had, but these are often lost or misplaced. An old inner tube makes an excel- lent bag for carrying the tube. Na. turally this must be several sizes larger than the tube to be carried. A section from an old truck tube is Just the thing. Cut this about eigh- teen inches long and close one end by tying with a cord or strip of tube. Deflate the tube to be carried, dust well with powdered soapstone or ERT L.CLOUGH. Painting One mica, fold carefully and slip into the bag just formed. Close the other end of the bag by tying and you have an excellent carrying case for the tube, keeping it dry, cool, well pro- tected against chafing and in very good condition, An Ounce of Prevention, If a blanket is placed over the hood during the cold winter days and nights it prevents the full chil- ling of the motor, even after it has remained idle for several hours. The purpose of this is not to make start- ing easier, but to decrease danger of cracking the cylinders when the intense heat of the ignited gas takes place. No wind can do him good who steers for no port. ~~ 's Own Oar Worth Considering By Thrifty Owners Who Are Not Too Fastidions THE FOLLOWING WILL be of who is satisfied only with perfection reading by the motorist, who is satisfied with car finish { @& casual examination creditably, who has a disposed to economize rather closely use of his car for several weeks by Painting job.
