Wrinkles and Crack's In th "Skin" Show Casing Is Getting Into "Senile" Stage Care In Storing. When numerous small silts and cracks appear In a tire It Is a sign of the approach 'of old age. Auto casings in this respect are like men and women. Although they doirt get gray haired, they do become wrinkled and cracked, often chalky white lo appearance. The fubrtc In an old tire graduully becomes brittle and hard, so that It breaks easily. Like the bones of old people, It Is difficult to knit. The tire surgeon's work Increases In difficulty with the age of the casing. Those whose strength is conserved do not so readily show their age. The best way to preserve their usefulness Is to take care of them. To hide the effects of age and wear motorists fre quently "doll them up," painting the side walls and washing with cleaning solutions. Cithers pay no attention to their appearance and permit them to go shabby. Ordinarily the small cracks appear ing on the side walls do little harm unless they penetrate through the rub ber covering to the fabric underneath. It Is well worth the motorist's atten tion to have his casings regularly In spected. Tires age fastest when lying around. They are kept In best condi tion In actuai service. If It Is neces sury to store them they will relnln their life longest 111 an even and mod crate temperature and light. ! veuicie i. , Spain, must be equipped :lu silencer.

The wiring of nn automobile Is Us venom system ami owners ought to familiarize themselves with the trou bles that poor wiring brings about. A grout tunny of the complaints si lently borne by the storage battery, the generator starting motor, and lumps nre largely traceable to the wiring between these units. The tirst thins to do when the lights grow 01m and the starter Is weak Is to test the battery solution, and If Its gravity Is V2ni or better then the battery Is all right. Since the battery feeds at speeds usually be low 1.1 miles an hour and the genera tor takes the whole load above that spwl.
