PAGE TWO. H Casings Will Go Miles Farther if Care Is Exercised. By SPARK PLUG In the good old winter time, changing tires always proves to be an irksome task and it is then that the motor car owner scratches his head and wonders just how he can squeeze those few more miles out of the old casing, and assure long life’ 10° therh, | Here's a°tew timely dont’s” for automobile owners who are solicitous of the welfare of their tires and incidently of their bank- De art or stop quickly.

New machinery has lately been developed which Will show at @ glance whether the whesis on a machine are out of line. If they are, the wise owner and the one who regards long tire life as money saved will have them aligned at once. Wobbly wheels and wheels that are out of line reduce the mileage, more than one half in most cases and in other words cause the motor. st to buy twice the necessary num- ber of tires.
