4 Al hy TEST PROVES THAT NON-SKID TIRES SAVE GASOLINE Few, automobile owners, in Ahes2 days when everybody is doing his: bit to eliminate waste, realize the saving} in gasoline by the use of nonskid tires. Engineers agree without excep- tion that the non-skid tire delivers the maximum of power-developed by the motor because of its tirnt grip-un| the road. | While the nonskid tire? has always been considered an. essential in win- ler, it is coming more and more into | all-year-around uses The inherent | characteristic of the nonskid- tire is its ability to grip the’ground and pre- | vent slippage. it is plain: to‘ be seen that when the wheel makes a com-| plete revolution without slipping, the} car has moved a maximunr distance, | all ofthe, power’ developed has been | used In moving the car forward, and the gasoline’ consumed has-been ex: pended to the: ‘best. possible advan tage. 2 i ‘To! prove the economy: of nonskids| Joe Da hour record, made! a test hy both nonskid ‘and: ribbed tread ti under identical conditions and com- paring results, In’ prepnring’ for the big race in which he covered’ 1,898 miles ‘I Au provision had to be} made against a slippery track and! other unfavorable condition: The! tres had to-be proof against skidding and* the-tread’so made that the car’ could’ bé stopped: quickly: without. slid- | ing. Dawson‘ also was seeking’ the tire that would develop the greatest speed. In the test run‘of 1090 miles, regular racing tires with three thick 1» around the circumference of the tire were used first. Then Royal Cor which have nonskid treads, were used | for the same distayce. The timing| showed that the: car maintained al greater speed with the. nonskid tires than with the ribbed-tread tires. After breaking the 24 hour record on Roysl Cords, Dawson became so enthusi@stic over them that he equip- ped his stunt, car with tlfem and broke intercity recoyds all over the country. The champion never tried | for an intercity record that he did not get. ‘Some‘of the trips were; made over wet roads, but the nonskid Royal Cords held his’ car true on thi turns’ and over’ the’ slippery: surfaces, | deliveing the maximum of power from} ‘the motor to the road. H Tests of this kind are of real value; to the automobile owner when they are’ made by drivers of recognized skill such as Dawson, They go tar t convince the tire buyer that he ¢: have non-skid protection-in both front and rear with a minimum of gasoline ,consumption. Many ‘drivers prefer the plain tread for the front wheels on the tehory that they make stecring easier. B. K. SKEELS GIVES. BATTERY POINTERS - a Jn the case of cars equipped with electrio starting and lighting a great deal. depends upon the condition of! the’ storage battery which ‘supplies the current. Car dealers generally | can: increase the satisfaction of cus-; tomers and avoid possible causes of! complaint by following a few simple rules, 7 When cars are received from the] manufacturer they may- have been, many days in transit without having; the batteries charged. .The dealer should always test the batteries on receipt with a hydrometer syringe and, if the specific gravity is found to ‘be ‘too low, should ‘see that they are recharged, ‘Sometimes cars remain on the show room floors, for a considerable per- iod and may be used for frequent dem- onstration of. the starter, which, of course tends to exhaust the batteries. Where this is the case the dealer should be careful to run the motor long enough to restore the battery to its normal. condition. SUSTICES WILL ' NOT MAKE OUT .
