GET INSPECTION HABIT
Give ' Station Opportunity to Catc
Trouble Early.
"If car owners generally would gc
the battery inspection habit, if they'
0 give the service station man the 01
portunity to catch possible batter
troubles in the primary stage, ther
would be fewer storage batteries i
early graves," says Mr. Pattersoi
manager of City Garage service ste
P LiUIl.
"We have lots of people comm
around to the Service Station ever
two weeks for such little, yet impori
ant, attentions as distilled wate:
Sometimes they don't even have th
same make of storage battery i
their car as we handle, but that doe:
n't make them any the less welcom

, ITEM OF SERVICE
j AMOUNTS TO MUCH
i
Just how much earnest gieaning
is there in the "service" advertised by
, tire retail stores? How much accom,
modation is offered, and how exten.
sively does the motorist take advanI
tage of it?
; Service is intangible, and in its
s best sense, includes innumerable dei
tails as well as actual measurable
- work. However, a record kept by
; the Quick Tire Service, Inc., North
Boulevard at Highland avenue, distributors
.of United States tires of a
, tangible feature indicates fto what
[ proportions service is carried. The
, record covers free road service, of
[. which this company is the originat
tor.
During 1920 the firm's eight serv'
ice cars made a mileage of 40,687,
Ij answering 12,712 calls from motorI]
ists requiring assistance at their
J irages or on the road. For the
] first five months ot this year, with
] the heaviest motoring season still
j to come, the total mileage has been
] 22,930, answering 7,163 service calls,
j On an average of 39 times a day
j the little red cars are' responding
J to the mortorists' requests. The averJ
age length of the runs is 3.2 miles,
j In addition to the road service,
j this company keeps service men to
J wait on the customers at the curb,
and maintains air connections.
These nguree. Indicate that at last,
far aa United States Tires are
concerned, service is a substantial
reality.?Atlanta Georgian.
GIVES PROPER METHOD
FOR PARKING CARS
| How do you park your car?
I Though parking ordinances in cities
I differ they all require driving up to
! a curb of some kind. Right here
j many tire injuries are born. The
j motorist driving up at the proper
j angle unconsciously depends in a
1 measure upon the curb stone to stop
I his car. Naturally the impact flatI
tens and strains the tire carcass..
In driving parallel to the curb the
I tire side walls are ordinarily rasped
l against the stone. The edges of
I the tread suffer, too. Of course the
1 poorly inflated tire' suffers the most
as the resiliencp of proper inflation)
is lacking. It is in this way, say Miller
tire men,, that rim flanges are bent, j
Where the motorist drives almost |
head on against the curb, the carcass1
is bruised either near the middle ofj
the tread or close up to the rim. i
Where the parking angle is sharper
the bruise is further to the side. The
resultant roughened place on the inside
of the carcass constantly chafes
the tube. Such a condition is responsible
for many a tube going
flat without apparent reason.
A careful driver coasts to a stop,
first throttling down his engine and
applying his brakes gently. It 'is
not necessary to drag the wheels
or bump the curb. The skillful
driver is repaid in lessened depre-J
ciation and repair. The more reckless
owner, however, can take com-i
fort in the fact that such tire injuries
are in almost every case reparable
if taken in time.?The Georgian.
Mrs. John E. Efird Dead.
Polkton, N. C., July 28.?Mrs.
John E. Efird, mother of the three
Efird brothers, who operate a chain
of department stores in North and
South Carolina, died at her home
seven miles from here late yesterday
afternoon. She is survived by her
husband and ten children.
Allies Not Approached
;
London, July 28.?The report that
I the Turks have approached the al;
lies with the purpose of opening ne;
jotiations for cessation of the hostilities
between Turks and the
Greeks is unfounded, according to
information received in official circles
here. This information substantiates
the fact fcat there have been
Greek victories in Asia Minor but it
minimizes the moral effect they have
had upon the Turks.

Never use gasoline to clean leathe:
upholstery in a car.
Before starting on a long trip
make sure the engine base is tight.
When wooden wheels develop i
squeak, soak them in water or oil.
Tappets that are too tight or toi
loose will cause misfiring-of the en
gine.
The porcelain of a spark plug ma;
be made almost as clean as new b;
soaking in carbon disulphide.
The thread of a tire will wea
evenly if the tire is occasionlly re
moved and put on so that it revolve
in the opposite direction.
Never carry in the pockets shar
tools like screwdrivers. In the even
of a jar or a spill they are likely t
prove dangerous.
In buying new tires, place the tw
old ones on the front wheels, for tfo
wheels at the back have to bear mor<
weight than the others.
Make a small mirror part of th
equipment of your car. Then if an;
cinders or dust particles get in you
eye when riding alone, you ma;
easily remove them.
?
When dirt becomes so firmly in
trenched in the brake lining that i
can not be removed with kerosen
use a little rosin mixed with casto
! oil..
A hissing noise emitting from th
engine while it is in motion, indi
cates leaking compression in one o
the cylinders.
Rusty tools '/an be cleaned b;
using on them a mixture of one
quarter ounce of camphor and sonn
graphite with a half pound of goo<
leaf lard melted.
