In other !.- " 'he mt.r, . 1 "How am I to know when an inner tube is 'done,'? is a question I am asked repeatedly," declares V T. Sebelle, manager of tube sales, Goodyear Tire & Kubber company of California. "It is the natural inquiry of a tire UBer who has had several re pairs made on his tubes and wishes to obtain the utmost mileage from them, yet wants to avoid the in convenience of making a tire change on the road, due to tire trouble. "In these times when economy is the order of the day, a tire user holding an old tube in his hand, can well afford to ponder a miu ute before casting it aside as 'through.' "It is difficult sometimes to de determine Just when a tube is un fit for further use. However, porosity in a tube, usually indi cates that it has attained its three score and ten. In this stage of use, very small cracks can be ob served in the rubber if it is stretched and examined carefully. The next development is splitting, when the air pressure becomes too great for the tube to bear. "If the rubber In a tube is 'live' it may successfully bear as many patches as a beggar's coat. But due care must be exercised In the vulcanization of the patch to the tube, that too large a portion of the tube around 'the patch Is not cured. "I believe that the lack of prop er care of the tube is responsible for most Of the troubles tires users experience The observance of a few precautions would help won derfully to eliminate these trou bles. "The absence of sufficient talc between casing and tube allows generation of heat which vulcan izes the tube to the fabric of the casing. Then if you attempt to remove it, it tears. "Much tube splitting Is occa sioned by the slipping of tbe tube between the casing and the rim, which soon results in a 'pinch.' The remedy is careful applying. "The protection of spare tube's is a matter that many tires users pass over too lightly. Usually spare tubes are carried loosely in the tool box, where they come in contact with grease, oil and tools. "The grease and oil reduce the quality of the rubber, while the tools many times chafe the tubes and render them unfit for use. "It seems to me that the whole problem of obtaining the greatest tube mileage resolves itself into the simple matter of exercising proper care." and civilian expense in army and navy departments, have crept ut to absorb the extra bililon dollars. "The dealers throughout the coun try are not fully away to the men ace of the taxation program," says Mook, "but we expert to awaken them to Its seriousness before the bill is enacted. We shall need the help of every association and indi vidual before that is done." Battery Man Gives Advice To Car Owners There are a few battery facta that every car owner should keep in mind says Mr. Burnel, Willanl Service Station dealer. "One thing he ougit to keep in view is that batteries are bound to wear out in the course of time. Of course, the better the material aud workmanship the greater the chance or Ions; life, but wear i .iways going on just as it does in a piece of machinery. "Another thing; the life of any battery depends to a considerable extent upon what kind of treat ment it gets. Neglect, abuse, and carelessness shorten Its life jUBt as surely as you'd shorten the life of a bearing by allowing dust to mix with the oil. "In short, the responsibility is just about divided fifty-fifty be tween the car owner and the bat tery builder. You have to get a good battery to begin with and you must take care of It after you get it." JSP RRy-sLtssoNs AUTO ANSWERS Larky D.Stone OMHM1 AWTOMOTrvt Fifth Wheel as a Turn Table. A motor truck designed for use on narrow roads is equipped with a horizontal fifth wheel under the center of the body, which serves as a turntable when the truck is lifted by jacks. The Pace That Kills. In the life of an auto, just as in human life, there is the pace that kills. The motor or compo nent parts of an automobile should no more be abused than an ani mal should. Societies for the pre vention of cruelty to motor cars are impracticable, but each auto driver can be a sort of a silent partner in a broad national move ment to take care of his auto. Just across the street from where I lived this winter was a man, who had pretty much of the world's good, I thought. He had a cute simplicity bungalow, a wife, a kiddie and one of the low-priced light-four touring cars. He has had this car for four months and it looks as good today as when first I saw it. He takes pride in his possessions. He does not drive with the pace that kills; that in satiable desire to take every hill on high, to pass every car in front, to slam on the brakes, to cut the corners fast and short, to over load his car beyond capacity. He watches his oil, his gas, his lubri cants, the air in his tires and fol lows more the pace that pleases than the pv.ee that kills. Every Sunday he spends the en tire morning going over his car, washing it, greasing it and giving the whole automobile the inspec tive once-over. He was bo persis tent in his care of the little car that it was almost amusing. But it was corruoiendable. If more car owners would pamper, rather than punish their cars, how much more enjoyment they would have than at present, and how better able would their machine be able to meet the emergencies when they did arise. Here's Good Alibi. A New York motorist advanced a novel reason for speeding recent ly when arraigned in the traffic court on a charge of speeding. He said he was an undertaker and had been "chasing a funeral." The funeral cortege, he said, had left the church without the pallbearers and that he had rushed them away in his car to catch up before the cemetery was reached. The judge fined him $25.

Thomas, vice-president of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcop al Church, Cincinnati, in an im portant missionary address recent ly said that one of the great deterrents of missionary opera tions in China, India, Korea and other Asiatic countries was the primitive methods of transporta tions which left fields of service so widely separated that they could be reached only rarely or by the use of a large force of workers. Since the raising of millions in the Methodist Cen tenary Fund, she said, an oppor tunity had come for a repair of this defect In facilities and a movement had been started to supply missionaries with a very large number of motorcycles. The consensus of views among those having the matter In charge, the speaker declared, was that motor cycles would prove not only more economical, but more serviceable and that a large sum of money 1 put In these machines would give ideal facilities to broaden and extend the influence and usefulness of the missionary bands now In the service and would be a proper and satisfac tory substitute for an otherwise necessary enlargement of their numbers.
