SALES AND SERVICE FORMERLY VICK BROS HIGH STREET The Life Of Your Car Depends Largely On Correct Lubrication It has limn l'en rocognbcd that ma chinery of every kind must be lubrl-j fated with oil of a particular consist-1 eney if it is to run smoothly. i The same is true of automobile en gines. Unless an oil meets exactly the needs of the engine in which it is used, worn parts are likely to be tlio result. And worn parts mean the evor piescut danger of a break. It is certainly cheap er in the end to buy good lubricating pi of the correct consistency than to puy new parts. j . To specify the correct grade of oil for every ty: e of e ginc is tho woik uf ex ports. Ronliaing this, the Standard Oil company established a board of lubri cation engineers that has determined by exhaustive study and actual tests the correct consistency of Zerolene for ev ery make of automobile. Tlio results of the experiments and teat of the board of lubrication engi neers have been embodied In a series of correct lubricution charts and a separate chart has been prepared for each make of car. The wise motorist will do well to follow theso charts implicitly if he would get the most out of his ear. When Water Pump Fails In case your water pump fails on the road, do not despair. Ktep the ra diator filled clear to tho top, run on high gear as much as possible, keep spark well advanced, shut off ignition going downhills and change the water occasionally if it shows signs of overheating. The Q QUgQYOUS tone cruise How New Methods Fortify This Tire Against It Bruises mean broken inner fabric, and broken fabric mean blowouts the ruination of more tires than all other causes combined. Frequently bruises result fro;n underinflation, but too often they are due to faulty construction and to the shortcomings of ordinary rubber and fabric. Two Years of Drastic Road Tests Have Proved The THERMOID CROLIDE COMPOUND CASING to be remarkably resistant to the stone brui.se. CRO LIDE makes the tread tougher and the fabric strong er. And it unites the plies of fabric to one another and to the tread in one. solid and practically insepar able whole. Naturally you pay a higher price for this casing than for avreage tires. But you pay more only at first in the end . you pay LESS. One THERMOID CRO LIDE COMPOUND casing will prove this to you. We ask you to take no risk, for this tire is sold on a basis of 6,000 miles of GUARANTEED service (in Ford sizes, 7,500 miles). J. B. Hileman Phone 787 291 N. Com!

"The average American car, which weighs 3001) pounds in touring I'orm, has an engine that deevlops 44.3 brake ItorBe powor at 2200 revolutions per minute," says writer in a recent Issue of Motor the national magazine of motoring. This means that the car has one horsepower available for every 63 pounds of weight without passengers. Incidentally, it uses a year ration of 4.35 to 1. Coming to consideration of the char acteristics of specific engines, the au thor finds that "the Ford has an en- giue which develops its maximum horse j power at the lowest speed 14U0 revolu tions per minute. The highest engine 'speed is 2800 revolutions per minute, ' which is claimed to be the peak of the horsepower curve of the Cole, liercer I vuii i m.i i.:i tu: i ....-m nuu viuBiuuuiiv mil engine speed is not the highest of which the engine is capable, but that speed at which it develops its greatest power. aernge speed is about 2200 revolutions per minute." In figuring out the - average brnko horsepower, the usual figure i 143 for the F. R. P. is left out of the reckoning The lowest power is 20, which is devel oped by the Ford, and the liig'.iest om mining the F. K. P. ii 85 developed by the McKarlnn. The average horsepower U 44.3." The tabulation showing the ratio of horsepower to weight discloses some in teresting facts. The F. K. P. has the lowest figure of 25 pounds of car eight per engine horsepower, but casting this -side as being unusual, the Oakland is lowest with only 35 pounds per horse power and the Maibohm highest with 91 pounds per horsepower. The average for ill cars is 63.4 pound. Open Cut-Outs Dangerous To Shell Shock Victims Chicago, July 19. Authorities in number "of eentral west cities have taken steps to prevent motoring with the muf flers of their motor open. It is declared that the sudden explosions have the same effect as bursting shells and ma chine gun fire on the shattered nerves of returned soldiers who are suffering from shell shock. The authorities say that many shell shock victims who had virtually re covered have bad to return to hispitals as the result of the sudden "pop-pop" of the motorcycle ent'ine behind them.

Vp until this time all the federal aid projects which have assisted the various states in the construction and maintenance of highways have always been scattered over a number of di verse units of roads not connected, in most cases, with any main system. The result has beea that while we have stretches of improved highways in every state that these have been constructed not with a view of facilitating national transportation, but of caring for local needs. The expenditure of the government funds appropriated to the various states rests entirely in the hands of the officials of the states and naturally they are more intorested in the needs of their respective states than in any national necessity. Of course improv ed roads, no matter where constructed are of value but if all the appropria. tions were expended with no regard to the pressing need for a national thor oughfare, it would be a fatal mistake. "Furthermore, no state department is equipped to care for this need. A na tional highway system, such as that pro vided in the Towiisend Bill, is serious ly needed and not until such a plan is in operation under a Federal Highway commission will our road prvTJlem be near settlement. "The Townsond bill provides a fund of 1425,000 000 for the construction of at least two main highways in every state, which fund fs to be expended di rectly by a foderul highway emmis sion created by the bill. Highway authorities throughout tho country be lieve that the national demand for a proper federal highway commission and ta an.i.l.ii,.i;nH nt 1 t nuf u t a .Aula. OPP. CITY HALL! and their maintenance by the federal government assures tho deepest end most careful consideration of the Town send bill in the I'nited Htntes senate." Massachusetts Aiitoists Pay $1,500,000 In Taxes A striking example of the amount of money which motorists contribute to the construction and maintenance of good ronds is shown in a recent report of tho Massachusetts highway commission, showing tho amount of money which that state rcnlizes from its auto taxes. The receipts from motorists have reached t,522,78fl.96. For tho sumc per iod lust year it was f 1,190,02.55, as in crease of $331,817.11 or 29 per cent. The highway commission officials say that within the rest of the year to register vehicles the total yf'il bo at least 72, 500,000 for 1919. Thero had been issued 113,000 plates for cars so far this year. The highest nuniWr for 1916 was only 192.000, and the Uital in 1917 was 12H, 00. Last year It was 1411,000, so the 1918 figures will be overtaken in a short timo. Proper Way Of Mounting Straight Side Tires Told The proper method of mounting the straight side tires is to lay the rim of the tire in its proper position. Tho bead for ten inches on both sides of the valve and after starting the tire in this way it should be forced in place further by stumpng on it, first on one side and then on the other. Htiimping in this way will let operator sent the tire ensi'iv, though it is sometimes necessary to resort to a tire tool. The ends of the rim may be brought into place by means of a screw driver to use in prying, and rare should be used not to make a mistake and get the wrong end of the rim on top. This method is for use when a rim expanding and contracting tool is not available, as this latter saves much time and trouble and should be in every toolbox.

Square Of Canvas In Tool Box Big Help To Motorist Few car owners realize what & con venient accessory is a little square of anvuB, about 18 inches over all.
