It will pay to have had the practice this obtainable. Before starting on a long trip be sure of three things: That your jack i{s on board and in working order, that you have a rim-wrench and that your spare rim has a serv- iceable tire on it which Is fully inflated. Cers with tires which do not run true are seen everywhere and it is a fact that the commonest cause of this is not untrue axles but improperly applied rims. The rim is not up against thc inner flange of the felloe band, all the way around. Bither the rim is not forced fully into its seat or in securing it, ali the wedges on one side are tightened before the rest and the rim thereby is canted out of true and fails to come into a correct seating when the rest of the wedges arc set up. The rim should be put fully on through- out its circumference, a lug on one side should be partly tightened, then the one nearest opposite it, then the ones nearly quartering from these and finally the intermediate ones. The same order, should be observed in the final tightening and if the rim still is out of true with the wheel, as disclosed by spinning the wheel, the lugs should be loosened and another attempt made. The treads of wobbling tires are "scuffed" off rapidly. Before removing a rim it is advisable to oil the threads of all the bolts and after a newly applied rim has run for a few miles, all the nuts should be tried for tightness, for if a rim is run loose it "works" enough to cause squeaking and to spoil the bolt threads. Rims that have accidentally become bent cr deeply dented had better be discarded at once. 3 PRESSURE IN THE COOLING SYST! - Goodyear Does It Again!

Among the electrical devices most commonly installed as accessory equipment are cigar lighters, windshield wipers, trafic signals, 'spot lights, parking lights, backing lamps, mixture heaters and hand warmers, All these are conveniences and are capable of giving good service, if they are carefully installed And there fs battery capacity to operate them. However, the more tomplicated and extensive an electrical system becomes, the greater the likelthood of 'trouble with it and a single weak spot in any part of the layout may be capable of putting the entire outfit out of service. The ignition, the horn and the head and tail lights are necessary to the operation of a car and no additional equipment of a less essential aature should ever be installed in such a manner as to jeopardize the reliability of these three vital parts of the system. Nevertheless extra squipment is often carelessly attached and by developing short-circuits, runs down the battery, blows fuses at inconvenient times and occasional- ly starts fires. The original system as Installed at the factory is laid out as carefully as the rest of the car and is as nearly trouble proof as engineering skill anc. experience can make it, but when additional Sevices and circuits are later put In, it is often in a less safe and substantial way. Unarmored or improperly insulated wire may be used and it may not be properly supported away from possible ground con- tacts. Fusé protection may be disregarded or existing fused circuits may be overloaded in such a way that trouble in one of the accessory circuits may put the horn or the lights out of business. In adding elee- trical equipment, all the wiring should be up to the highest professional standard, the circuits should be fused independently of the original car eircuits or connected to a special automatic circuit breaker. Manu- lacturers ays the generators of their cars for charging rates sufficient to take car® only of devices included in the original system and if a lot more electrical apparatus is added, a higher charging rate is gen- erally required or the battery will run down frequently.
