safe to say that a very few know
how a tire Is built. Here is an op
portunity to learn for you are in
vited to make a tour of inspection. It

MOTORS
AND THEIR CARE
BAFFLE THE AUTO THIEF
Covering the pinhole air vent in
the gasoline cap with chewing gum
Is one way of foiling the automobile
thief. When the vacuum tank runs
dry the car will stop for want of
gas.
CORRECT SHIFTING OF GEARS
When shifting gears always grasp
the lever firmly. This lever is cap
able of a bad kick-back if the gears
ape carelessly shifted. A careless
shift means one in which the gears
strip each other before their teeth
actually mesh, during which process
the gear shift lever will vibrate
enough, to give the relaxed fingers
of an operator a bad kick and per
haps injure one of them.
PROPER CARE OF CAR BODY
Never use polish on the new body
of a car for at least one month.
