TIRES
BETrER CHEAPER BUY NOW
Today motorists can buy tires which give mile
age not believed possible a few years ago. It
is no longer necessary to travel on worn-out
casings and tubes, because new ones can be
purchased at a low price. You can buy at
home, too no need to send to mail order
houses. When you buy here you can choose
from two well-known brands.

greater becomes the tusk the hear- j

In I he eurly days of motor cars,
even thotiKh its job then was j
easier than It Is now, the clutch j
bear ins: began rearing Itself before j
uutomoblle engineers as ti chal
lenge. It has offered ever since j
the one apparently Insurmountable i
obstacle confronting the Industry, i
Grease cups as large as water
glasses with hand lea which ex
lended a half foot when the cups
were filled were installed to force
grease Into the clutch hearings of
cars of l!Mi4 and earlier. They
would hnve been effective if used
but It wuh about this time that the .
nutomolll ceased to be a toy for j
sportsmen and, becoming a thin?
of dally use,- began to be something j
to be much neglected by a great j
ninny owners.
Lubricating a car by anything
other than an automatic system!
is at best so undesirable a job 1
and so costly in time spent in the j
service station that it Is. greatly ;
neglected and the connections for'
lubricating the clutch bearing have
been so difficult to reach, even 1
when lying out flat on the back i

The super-highway plans, be
sides: contemplate two stages of
development, giving litem consid
erable elasticity. One stage Is for
closely hutltup sections. The other
is for thinly populated districts.
Probably the first enactment of
tho super-highway Idea will come
within tho next year in the im
mediate environs connecting Du
page, Kane ami Cook counties,
Illinois, In the latter of which Chi
cago is situated.
Homo J-fi, Otio.noo is considered
necessary to convert present typ

super-highway type
as traffic conditions demand with
out halting passage over the orig
inal units.
Space for Parking
In the prif-e-winnlng super-highway
plan the en lire width between
the curb and gutter will 'be paved
and the sidewalks will be extended
to 15 feet. This will provide a
paved width of 17 feet for diag
onal parking and truck delivery.
Highway grade separation will be
accomplished at points where the
volume of cross traffic, would en
danger the traffic on the super
highway or materially reduce Its
carrying load.
Kxperts differ in regard to the
carrying capacity of the two sep
arated roadways which will form
the super-highway. Hut practical
ly all opinion is unanimous In
agreement that, two separate units
for opposite hound traffic are. bet
ter than a single traffic path equal
to the width of the two lanes.
