MOTORCAR TIRES.
To Lengthen Their Live* Keep Them
Free Frees Oil and Grosso.
It Is pretty generally known that
gasoline, grease, oil and other fatty
substances are solvents of rubber
If garage floors are not kept clean
and tires stand in # pool of oU the
treads soften and the traction strains
in service stretch tbe rubber in a wavy
outline, eventually causing It to sepa
rate from tbe fabric body underneath.
Probably tbe meet damage Is experi
enced from grease. Is lb* differential
bousing, working oqt into the brake
drums and then on to the side walls
of the tires- This may result from loose
bearings or too much grease or from
using grease uot suitable for differen
tial.
Grease and oil may be very easily re
moved by using a rag saturated in gas
©Hue. Gasoline, although a solvent
evaporates quickly and. if applied In
small quantities, will not cause spy In
jury when used as a cleaning agent
Ordinary Injuries to the rubber cover
do not prevent successful repairs, but
not often can work be well done when
materials have been affected by otU or
grease. Invariably blistering during
vulcanization resulta—Popular Science
Monthly.
Writing on a Moving Train.
Writing legibly on a fast moving
train is difficult to a person unaccus
tomed to do it Tbe railroad conductor
knows tbe trick of it and manages to
get along quite satisfactorily. He pre
fers to write in a standing position and
bolds his right elbow firmly against bis
side. The reason for this Is that in a
sitting posture there is too much lat
eral movement In the trunk of tbe
body, while in a standing position this
is'inure easily controlled.
When the arm swings freely, as in
ordinary writing, several joints of tbe
I body are affected in tbe process, each
' of which is capable of Its own motion
Holding the elbow against one’s ribs
breaks those motion tendencies, ex
cept that of the wrist, which movement
is necessary in writing, and thus the
pencil or pen la more easily controlled.
Cautious.
A lawyer happened to be acquainted
with a Juror in a petty civil case, and
6e met him during a recess or the court.
Tbe lawyer was just “lighting up." and
under ordinary circumstances be would
have offered the other a cigar unheal,
tatingly. but it occurred to him that It
might not look right
“1 suppose." be said guardedly, “that
« cigar would not Influence your ver
#ctr
The Juror waa equally cautions.
“A good one wouldn’t." he replied,
•but a poor one might prejudice me."
He get a good cigar.—Brooklyn Bagla.
