EXPLAIN BLOWOUT
OF RESTING TIRES
CAUSED BY PREVIOUS INJURY TO
FABRIC. Ij
Hard To Detect.

Broken Threads Chafe Each Other

Makes Suggestions. <

"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

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.
"A repair of this nature is oftei
I the means of enabling you to use th<

tire immediately, of securing many g
hundreds of additional miles, or the,
tire may be carried as a spare. |
"If in repairing the side of the cas- |
!ng in the above way," concluded the
service man, "it is noticed that the
tread also has been injured, this, too,
should be repaired by using tire putty
and patching cement. Of course, of
the tread injury is large it should be
repaired by an expert tire repair
man."

In reporting his experience, Mr.
. J. C. Huste, of Rock Bridge Baths,
Va., stated: "My horse is the best
advertisement you would want for
Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders. He
, was in a run down fix and poor and
I thought he would die soon. I got
some of Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders
. ?and today he is as fine a looking
horse as you can see in this section.
I only used a few boxes of Dr.
LeGear's Stock Powders."
Mr. Huste benefitted by the advice
of Dr. LeGear, Graduate Veterinary
Surgeon ofj 27 years' experience.
By following the Doctor's
treatment, you can keep your stock

HAD TERRIBLE
SKJN DISEASE
IMS Girl Improves Rapidly When Given
ZIRON Iron Tonic,
Many mothers try one remedy after another,
tor the sufferings of their little ones,
without apparently being able to find the
right one. if anything seems wrong with
the blood, or stomach, or if the child's j
system is run-down and needs strengthen- I
ing, you may benefit by the experience of i
this Westmoreland. Tenn., mother, Mrs. '
lohn F. Anelea. wno writes: !,
"My littlegirl had a terrible skin disease 1
and her stomach was in such a bad condition.
Nothing helped her, so we finally j
started to give herZiron.
She improved so rapidly from the first
bottle, so we have given her two more.'
She is much better.
Don't try other remedies firstl Choose
Ziron from the start. It has benefited
many people suffering from poor blood,
general weakness, less of appetite and
other symptoms which indicate lack of
iron in the blood.
