EXPLAIN BLOWOUT OF RESTING TIRES CAUSED BY PREVIOUS INJURY TO FABRIC. Ij Hard To Detect. ?? 1 Broken Threads Chafe Each Other and Fracture Enlarges Rapidly. , Makes Suggestions. < 1 "Have you ever had a blowout when your car was standing still after coming from a drive on a smooth, level road? "Or have you had the experience of going out to your garage and finding a perfectly flat tire? It was all j right when you drove in in the even-1 ing before. Something had hap-j 9ened to it over-night. "You removed the tire and tube, found the tube torn and a clean break on the inside fabric of the tire. "What caused the fabric to break?" In rapid fire the above questions were asked of a well known WashIngtonian, who but recently has tak?n up motoring with a vim by a former proprietor of a large service station in this city as the two sat in the lobby of a down town hotel the other afternoon. On being informed by .the motorist that he had experienced just k euch a thing without knowing the | cause, the service man continued, 1 "WaII. it is very probable that it wasj J started a week or even a month before, when you ran over a brick, a rut or a hole in the street, while running at high speed. "Then, again, it may have been i caused when, in turning around in J the street, you allowed the front or rear wheel of the car to bang into . the curbing. Of course, this is more likely to happen if the brakes are not in good working order. "At first the break in the fabric may be small, but the broken threads at the place of injury chafe each other while the tire is in use, setting up an internal friction that quickly causes the break to enlarge. "The other plies soon break, the tube is pinched and a blowout results. Generally this occurs some time after the original break and when circumstances point to no apparent cause. Seldom Indicated on Outside. "It i? unfortunate that the bruise or fabric break is seldom manifested by any indication on the outside of| the tire, for the tough thread rubber stretches when the tire strikes the stone or curb, but the fabric can i(j* f HH ^^bSm Hn BBK pno EHMy B|H| >11 W BMP ur When you1 Jr nervous or jf see how it r refreshes! /the Flavor llll y^^PCTFECT'GOM^ stretch only a certain limit, and when taxed beyond that point will break. Often only the innermost ply is injured." | "How is one to know such a condition exists?" asked the motorist. "It is a good practice to examine the inside of your tires for fabric break avery time they are removed from the rim," replied the service man, "or have your service station dealer do it for you whenever he removes your tires. "Sometimes a small fabric break that can not be found by ordinary naneoc tnhp nunnture. oAauiiuaiiuu vuuwvw r These small breaks may be located in this manner. Mark the position of the valve at the mark and measure with the tube around the tire. Thus the puncture in the tube locates the break in the fabric. "The best way to avoid stone bruises is to avoid hitting the stones, the bumps and the ruts in the roads as much as possible." Another Phase Discussed. "But suppose you are in a position that practically compels you to repair your own tires?" inquired the motorist. "If far from a service station, running without spare tires, a bruise or blowout comes and a repair is necessary," replied the service station man, "I would sugg4st the following: When the blowout comes do not run the tire a foot farther than it fs necessary, but mmediately put in a temporary repair or change tires, and as soon as pos sible take the injured tire to the vuicanizer for permanent repair. "For an emergency repair on the road use a rim cut patch. It should be applied with cement, so that it can be removed later, under less stressful conditions, and a permanent vulcanized repair made. "If the tire is too old to be wortb vulcanizing a permanent repair car be made that will allow the tire to b? used many more miles by using the rim cut patch and cementing it ir with patching cement. Special Directions. "To do this follow these directions: First, be sure the fabric at the breal is dry, then clean the inside of th( tire thoroughly at the break with gas oline for a space slightly larger thai the patch; after it is dry apply tw< coats of patching cement, allowing time for each coat to dry and becom< I tacky. Give the outside of the patcl | the same number of coats, and afte: [ this cement has dried insert the patcl by seating the toe of the tire bead ii I the crease in the patch wing. Nov (work the patch down all the' wa: across the tire, pressing it down firm lv and smoothly, and then adjust th< other bead.

Of course, of the tread injury is large it should be repaired by an expert tire repair man." Hastings' 1920 Seed Catalog Free It's ready now.
