_ GAS FOR ALL wd MEX. OIL FIELDS NEW YORK, Aug. 14 for every motor car owner United States all year then soma is foreseen by Albert White, Inventor of the low Pressure oil-feeding system which has Beon installed in 700 ships in the ‘Mexican ofl fields “The present daily potential out put of Mexico," says White, “is @round 762,080, or 278,160,000 bar Tels a year, and this out of a very Small percentage of the petrolifer ous area.” | Recalling that the annual con Sumption.of gasoline ts about 100 000,000 barrels, this estimate sounds Feassuring to the motoring public. Besides, White does not believe that the increase of ofl-burning ships will exhaust the supply of Petroleum, from which gasoline {s obtained, but sees a great future Producer in Mexico. ube Bag Will Protect Spares “Box worn” means about the same thing in auto inner tubes As “shop worn” means in clothes. Bothyate damaged goods. 1 When an inner tube leaves a fubber factory, it ts ordinarily pack ®d in waxed paper and placed in a Dox to keep it in perfect condition from factory to customer, But this waxed paper package which Is #0 *esential to insure its resiliency and @lasticity—in other words, its live} quality—is not intended to be the packing which will protect the tube} carelessly thrown in the tool bax of/ @ car. ‘ Here the constant jolting and swerving of the car cause the loose ly packed tube to chafe against the sides of the box. As a revult,! the tube chafes thru at the folds If it is & repaired tube loosely! thrown in the tool box, it ordinar My lacks even the protection of the box against cutting on the sbarp edges of the tools. A motorist will always find tn Me roadside emergency that his! tubes are in the same serviceable _ ©Ondition as when he placed them! @m the car, if he will carefully wrap ‘them in soft cloth or paper so that ‘they can not «lide around tn the wrapping. Better even than this however, is the purchase of a tube Rag. It ts not only excellent but cheap insurance aaginst tube cut ‘timg and chafing. STOP THIEF! Car thieves are Mughing at locks ton automobiles these days, but there! many simple little tricks which owners can do, when leaving cars, which will reduce the hasard almost to nothing. « ‘The first suggestion ts to remove ‘the distributor rotor. It is the easiest thing in the car to get at— certainly easier than some of the Wheel locks now in use. removal of this rotor absoltfte- ly prevents the spark, without which no gasoline engine can pos-| sibly be run. Moreover, tHere are| several different kinds of rotors, making it much harder for a thief Ato be equipped with all the ties in order to have the right . @ne on hand. Even supposing that half of all the auto thieves were| equipped with a complete set of rotors, the theft hazard would still be reduced 50 per cent. Another stunt’ is the rather ple turegque use of a noise resembling &@ Western town being shot up in the wildest days. By crossing spark | plug wires Nos. 4 and 5, or wires | 6 and 6, on a sixcylinder car, no| one can drive away without making | such a racket that it ought to be/ enough to alarm the town and) feare the thief away at the, first| Miley he comes to. This crossing of the wires is easily done, and it causes a backfire, resulting in heavy artillery, which is as good as Most any burglar alarm Gasoline | in the] round, and!

Tires on Right Wear Out First ‘The fact’that tires on the right band side of a car wear gut faster in proportion than those on the left hand side, often puzzles motorists The popular supposition that this is caused by turning many corners to the right, is incorrect The fact ts that the increased wear is actually caused by the pitch of| the road, which throws more of the| car on the right side than on the/ left. The round of the road from curb to curb i far more important in determining the sequence tn which tires normally wear out—right rear, left rear, right front, left front—| }than. is gutter wear and abrasions from grinding off and on pave ments. The slope of the road causes the right rear tire to carry more weight than the left rear tire Thus the right rear wears the faster of the two, will wear more rapidly than the left front, for the same reason However, receives a Griving pull while right front does not, it will the faster of the two. Under aver age conditions the right rear fire wears out first and the left front! last. To secure uniform sear from a set of tires, about once a month.
