WORD OF WARNING ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE GAS A word of warning is offered to owners of motor vehidles in regard to the deadly carbon monoxide gas. The danger to persons who are getting their first experience in the handling of engines is especially grave, because the gas has no odor and gives no warning. â€" Here are a few simple sugâ€" gestions for safety: Never start a motor unless the garage windows or doors are open. After starting, run car into the open before warming uwp. Cut off engine before working about the rear of the car, where gas from the exhaust may be inhaled. Do not sit in a tigthly closed car with the motor running.

Its Meamn and Value. \‘g Many persons have observed s small red spot on the side of pra€ tieally every balloon or semiâ€"balloon tire now used. Few understand the purpose it serves. _ Every motor car owner should know it, however, says Mr. Jos. Berini, of the Timmins Garage. "It looks like a careless painter had dropped a dab of red paint,"‘ Mr. Berini said. ‘*There is nothing careless gabout it, however. It is a piece of red rubber vuleanized into careless about it, however. It is a piece of red rubber vulcanized into the side of the casing and it is one of the important things on a car for an owner to watch. Many dollars were spent in research before it was placed there. ‘*Motor ecar companies found that with balloon or semiâ€"balloon tires, wheels had to be balanced to avorid shimmying. Packard puts adjusting lugs on the rims of all of its wheels so that each wheel can be as carefully balanced as that of a racing car. The extra weight of the valve stem of the tire, it was discovered by the tire companies, was enough to throw the tires so far out of balanee as to cause the shimmy effecet. As tires are proâ€" duced this weight is oompensutod for by added “mght at one point in the casing and the red dot or square shows the lightest side where the valve should be placed to bring the tire in balance. "Every time a tire is changed ‘ar owner should see that â€"the valve stem is placed opposite the red spot, or not more than two inches away from it.‘‘ ECUADOR HAS MIXED UP MATCHES AND MOTOR CARS.
