CAREFUL DRIVING IS HELP “It's remarkable how the number of motorists who want to know how to take the best care of their tires is in- oreasing,” say Joe M. Dine, branch manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rub- ber company. “It's especlally gratitying to note the growing army of motorists _‘who actually do care for their tires, who follow instructions, watch tire perform- ance, maintain proper pressure, attend and thus greatly reduce their cost per mile of service. The campaigns of education conducted by tire companies along this line have borne fruit, and motorists are better satisfied and thelr relations with the men who sells them their tires are much more pleasant. “Just now Goodyear is carrying the | same kind of a campaign to truck own- ers, showing how tire care makes tire mileage and reduces tire cost. Our serv- ice department has issued a series of nine bulletins on truck tire conservation. These point out avoldable sources of tird trouble and show how remarkable tire mileage is often obtained. The bulletins are Hllustrated and show the before and after situation vividly and graphically. Car tracks, for instance. quickly de- molish truck tires. When a truck is run in the track just a narrow edge of a tire vests on the rall and carries the whole load. The answer is easy. In the case of dual tires the wearing effect is more pronounced, because the narrow part of a tire bearing on the rall carries weight intended to be distributed over two tires. ‘‘Rough roads should be taken more slowly than good ones. Avold the ruts. Give your tires consideration. “Trim the edges of small cuts. Don't leave little flaps of rubber hanging, for if you do they'll develop into long tears and ruin the tire. If trimmed smoothly, they will not grow. “Keep wheels aligned. When they're not, there's a grind that often wears a |tire as much in a thousand miley as it would wear in 10000 miles with proper alignment. Trucks cost money and truck tires cost money, too. The better the tire performance the lower the cost of truck | upkeép. It'is easy to see how the truck industry is going to grow. Uoodyear wants to do wll it can to make the tire part of truck operation economical amd a satisfaction to the owner. Our eon< servation bulletins, we belleve, will help mightily, whether the man who reads u:m used Goodyears or not." Billy Knipper is Wager Winner in Drivilli Saxon 8ix |- Willlam P. (Billy) Knipper of Roch- ester, N. Y., former automobile racing star, recently won a wager by driving a stock model Saxon six touring car from Rochester to New York City and return, 87 mliles, in thirty-five hours and elgh- | teen minutes. The wager was with two prospective customers, both of whom accompanied | Knipper throughout the day-and-night trip. The wager was made to the effect | that the Saxon could go from Rochester | to New Yorl City and back i thirty-six | hours. No allowance was made for stops, such as replenishing with gaso- line and ofl or time for meals. Knipper took up the challenge and started out without a rellef driver or mechanic. There was no sleep on the journey. The longest stop was twenty- five minutes at Columbus Cirele, New York City. The average speed recorded by Knip- per's Saxon was twenty-four miles an hour throughout the 8-mile day-and- night run, part of which. was through heavy rains. Omitting time required for meals and refilling with gasoline and oll, Knipper made better ‘than this average. The car traveled throughout at the gasoline and 26 miles to the quart of oil. It required no attentfon for me- chanical troubles and only one stop was made for punctures. rate of twenty miles to the gallon of | Autos Sent from Omaha to Wahoo for Lad's Funeral Friday at Wahoo was held the funeral of little Lioyd Holm, son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor B.
