Motorists often wonder that the tire which have given splendid service o their old cars do not wear as expec when specified on their new cars.

A thira | welcoming fetes tendered the pioneers in long-distance motor bus tarvel by the hospitable folk of the south. Night stops were made at Danville, IiL; Co- lumbus. Ind.; Louisyille, Ky.; Cave City, Ky.; Bowling Green, Ky.; Nash- vilie, Tenn.; Florence, Ala.; Hamil- ton. ‘Ala.; Columbus, Miss.; Meridian, Hattiesburg, Miss., and Boga- lusa, La. The Motor Club of Louisiana sent a delegation of its members to Slidell to welcome the tourists and conduct the party to New Orleans. There was no mechanical trouble to mar the pleasure of the trip. Only one tire change was necessary, and that was made at a luncheon stop. The actual running, time of the busses was 68%3 hours, and the average speed 174, miles an hour. They covered about 90 miles a day. The roads encountered were good, for the most part, the tour demon- strating vividly the substantial prog- ress made in highway construction throughout the south in the last few years, and particularly in_Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT. The average motorist and garage man knows that the front wheels of | a car have a certain necessary align- ment. They must be drawn in below to provide ease in steering, and must toe in in front to allow for spreading under traction. Front wheels on new cars are toed in the full amount, but, being_ stiff, they do not easily spread. Conse- quently the tires temporarily run out of alignment. Under such conditions, say Miller tire experts, the treads of the front tires scuff off rapidly. Cars Check Horse Thieves. No one will steal a horse today, ac- cording to a dispatch from the New York Sun. The Horse Thief Detecting Society of Mamakating, Wallkill and Crawford, N. Y., has been abandoned. The twenty-one members of the so? ciety will split $1,400 in the treasury which has remained unexpended be- cause there are no horse thieves left {tion of the particula not be allowed to det rate.
