"Setting Up" Exercises For Rubber Equipment Are Offered by Zosel v ' Regular "setting up exercises to keep your rubber tires In con dition that's the latest serrlee offered by "Walter Zosel of the Zosel Tire shop, local dlstribetors or Selberllns tires. "Our tree monthly inspection service-.. Mr. Zosel explained fa m&ktaf the announcement. "means lust this: that our eustlm en can add J 5 per cent to the life of their tires by siring us an opportunity once a month to to over their 'shoe' equipment. A IS minute Inspection and they can forget all about their tires for the neit SO days. "The free monthly Inspection service,- now Inaugurated by the Zosel company, calls for regular examination of your ' SeiberUng rubber equipment by experienced tire men. The object Is to make sure that ypur tires - are kept physically- fit that anything tendlog to cause trouble la cor rected before It becomes serious. "By cheeking up on yonr air pressure, we will see that your tires escape the greatest source of rapid wear under.lnfIa.tlon. It U a well known fact that under Inflation is the cause of uneven and therefore rapid tread wear. Thl3 is particularly true of bal loon casings because of their ad ditional areaof contact Aid the constant 'wiping' action of the under-Inflated tire against the road. Otto Nobetter, mayor of Accl leatvUle, as usual Is out of order. Our artist has shown him enjoying a chat with a friend, either uncon scious or Indifferent to the fact that he Is apt to block approaching traffic;- But His. Honor la too big a man. In his own opinion, to think of trifles. He should worry about the other fellow. The mayor has some special privileges, yon know. There are only a comparatively few of these selfish drivers, reports the National Safety Council, but It la the minority of motorists who make life more complex through their lack of regard for both other drivers and pedestrians. "We will examine your tires for tread cuts Injuries which, If not attended , to, will permit the ac cumulation of sand and pebbles, resulting in serious damage to the tire. Regular lnsepctlon will en able us to discover wheel mis alignment or similar faulty ad justments which cause uneven and rapid tire- wear." Motor trucks are being used for modern merchandising in Roumanla, according to a report received by the National Automo bile chamber of commerce, from Harltan Kassardjian. A shoe store In the city of Bucharest Is using a commercial vehicle equipped with a glass body which serves as a house-to-house travel ing store. User of Many Cars Writes Through Of Trip With4Cyl Blizzard inder Machine John W. DeNorla. general man ager - of Covey's Drive Yourself Service at Los Angeles, has writ- tea a .letter describing a recent au tomobile trip from Carson City, Nev., to xs ; Angeles, which sets forth better than any general de scription of modern engineering proficiency the stability "and per formance that have been built Into the low cost automobile. , , ... - j ' . ... r- His feat was that of covering the 861 miles between the two cities In IS hours and 60 minutes. which means sustaining an aver age speed of approximately 43 miles an hoar. The trip was made over rough,, mountainous country and the time required for food and gas stops was not subtracted from the total lapsed time of the trip. He drove a model A Ford. The trip la being cited as far ther evidence of the reliability of the four cylinder motor on long and difficult runs. Mr. DeNorla estimated that he had driven 2,000 different automobiles dur ing the 20 years In which he has been associated with the automo bile industry and said he selected a model A Ford from among the 40 automobiles that comprise the fleet of his company. The follow ing is taken from his letter: "I have Just had the pleasure of completing what I consider the most remarkable trip X have ever made in an automobile and I feel I should tell yqu about it in fair ness to the car," he wrote. i "I left Carson City, Nevada, at exactly 4 o'clock a. m.; I was in Mlna, Nevada, at 8:10 a. m.; I BRAKES was In Bishop. California, 10:40 a. m.; in Lone Pine, California, at 12:15 o. m.: in Molave. Califor nia, at 1:30 and'' in Los Angeles at 4:60 p. m. This time Included all gas stops, time for luirfh, etc., as I did not deduct any time this Is the total lapse of .lime, 121 hours and 80 minutes, (and the' distance Is 681 miles.' "Please bear in mind that all but the last 100 miles of this was on. a dirt road,' and about 178 miles of It pver the poorest road Imaginable. When I left Carson City l left la a bllasard and there were 14 Inches of snow in Mont gomery Pass. ; On this trip it Is necessary to cross four mountain ranges, and, I was probably the very last car oat of 8mlth' Valley because when I came through it was the very nex tthing to Impas sable and the snow was piling up and drifting In spots so that the trail was probably closed com pletely In another hour or. two. "At Montgomery Pass we were 7,900 reet high, so you can draw your conclusions about how cold It was over the summit. "I was not passed on the en tire trip, either going or coming: on the other hand I had no trou ble passing everything I met on the road. "I have driven various makes of automobiles across the contl nent several times, some of them on record runs whece every prep aration had been made to . cut down the time and facilitate transportation. I made absolute ly no preparation for this trio TTIhas PLYHl exclusive in cus . The Plymouth is the only ear In the low price field that Is equip ped with Internal expanding hy draulic brakes In all four wheels. Because of their freedom from dirt, dust and water, their aim piicity and inherent equality of applied pressure, they assure the driver of positive brake control over all wheels under all weather conditions. Even if the ear-were left .standing la a stream and wat er should find an entrance. It would be thrown out rapidly when wheel motion was resumed, the Chrysler engineers who designed them report: These same engin eers also say that they stop a mo tor ear more smoothly, surely and noiselessly at all times than any other type. Plymouth's Internal expanding hydraulic four wheel brakes are of the same basic design as those Chrysler uses for Its new Imper ial, "7 6" and '5." They are the outcome of more than a year's tests to develop a brake 'which will give practically foolproof ser vice,' their engineers point out. They are equipped with specially moulded squeakless linings, oper ate upon light pressure of the foot and, of course, always have equal ized pressure. applied to them. To obviate chatter, the lining on the rear shoe of each brake drum, is shorter than on the front one. An extension of the brake sup port over each drum, in the form of .a housing, excludes the dirt. dust and water. Longer brake shoe life and even fewer adjustments than before are also among1 the results. ! 1127 when $9.04 a share was earn ed, the company's cash position gninea .7Z. 7 snowing 120, 014.040 In cash and U. 8. treas ury notes December 21, list. : On list prospects Mr. Jackson said: "Since showing the Hudson and Essex is 21 models we have experienced aa unprecedented de 4 mand for both ears.
