"Winter ahead! Beware of worn
tire and slippery pavements." Thafa
the warning Issued lust week by R.
O. Tucker, tire
sales manager
for the Pacific
division of U. 8.
Tire Dealer Mut
ual corporation,
as he pointed to
the greatly In
creased number
of traffic acci
dents due to
skidding that oc
cur during win
ter months.
"Worn, thin
tirea are a real
safety hazard at any time of the
year but on wet, wlntery pavement
they are doubly dangerous," Mr.
Tucker said. "Every motorist should
have the tires on his car carefully
Inspected before entering the winter
driving season. Casings that are
worn smooth should be replaced Im
mediately and those that are par
tially worn should be watched
closely.
"That car owner are aware of
the importance of having safe, anti
skid tires for winter driving la ap
parent In the mounting sales of the
new u. S. Royal Master tire reported
by Pacific coast deAlers." Mr. Tucker
added.
"The Royal Master Is especially
designed for wet, skiddy streets. Its
patented desklddlng process divides
the tread Into hundreds of sharp
edged blocks which grip the road
surface with a centipede-like grip
and wipe It dry, thus eliminating
both forward and side skid Actual
testa prove that this amazing new
safety tread will stop a car In two
thirds the distance required by ord
inary anti-skid tires."
GRIM REAPER HAS
HOST OF HELPERS
"The grim reaper waits around the
corner for many careless drivers, and
he finds a number of things happen

and anappy," says A. L. Kntpplng,

General Petroleum corporation.

Car Defects Cause Many Wrecks
Appalling revelation of the causes
behind many traffic accidents was
recently received by Lloyd Bayly,
sales promotion
manager of Qen
0 r a 1 Petroleum
corporation.
"In one year,"
Bayly says, "7,30
cars wore Involv
ed In accidents
due to punctures
or blowouts of
worn tires; 9,760
were involved In
mishaps due to
one or both
headlights falling
or lights being
Improperly adjusted; 8.840 came to
grief because tall lights were out or
obscured: 11.890 were damaged or
wrecked because of skidding; 18.600
I.L0YO BAYLY
were in accidents caused by defective
brakes; 3,500 met accident due to
various failures of equipment. Only
28 percent of cars examined by In
spectors were found to be in good
driving condition.
"These facts reveal the main -reason
for the Wlnterproof inspection
campaign Inaugurated by Mobllgas
and Moblloll service stations."
It Is pointed out that inspection Is
essential to reveal the ravages of
summer driving, which does things
to cars. It Is also pointed out that
change from summer heat to winter
cold imposes entirely different de
mands on cars, necessitating careful
checkup, flushing of radiator, crank
case, gas tank, fuel lines, transmis
sion and differential, and use of lub
ricants created to meet winter
weather conditions.

"Everything visible about a car,"
says Albert E. Horn, Jr., Oregon di

the eagle eye and experienced hands
of the Mobllgas station man during
this free -examination Wlnterproof
Ing period.
"These Inspections assure safe,
comfortable, care-free, economical
operation of cars during the cold
weather period, and also reduce oper- ,
atlon and maintenance costs to the
minimum."
Tires, battery, lights, windshield
swipes, spark plugs, body bolts, fan
belt and oil filter are among the
things that come under this careful
scrutiny. It is explained. It Is also
stated that critical examination and
flushing of radiators, strainers and
fuel lines, gasoline tank, crankcase,
transmission, differential, and other .
Important parts, are Included.
"One of the factors stressed In the
interests of motorists." continues the
Mobllgas and Moblloll executive, "it
that heavy summer oil and grease
should be replaced with lighter lubri
cants to guard against undue fric
tion, drag or resultant mechanical
difficulties.
"It Is shown by records that a
large percentage of accidents and
many repair bills are the direct re
sult of carejessness or thoughtless
ness in car upkeep. In order that
winter motorists may run no risks,
in order that their cars may perform
at peak efficiency, at the lowest coat
of upkeep, our Wlnterproof ing plan
has been Inaugurated, similar in pur
pose and operation to the Summer
Ulng plan which proved so popular
In this area last spring.
"Because of the busy travel days
ahead, when cars will be put to addi
tional strain, due to cold, damp
weather, this plan should be deserv
edly popular."
AT VISION TEST
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Belle Ryan,
assistant superintendent of schools,
confounded clerks In the auto license
testing bureau when she was asked
to read an optical chart 25 feet away.
She did so rspldly and correctly,
as the clerk learned when he walked
forward and squinted at the letters.
"That's impossible," the clerk de
clared. "Human vision can't be that
good. You're not supposed to be
able to read the entire chart."
Miss Ryan walked out with air air
of triumph, not revealing she could
have recited the letters in total dark
ness with equal facility. Because of
long experience in school work, aha
knew the chart by heart.
Three percent of the adult popula
tion of the United States have gradu
ated from college and another four
percent have attended some college.
