gear, or the axles, or the motor one is 
apt to apply a constant hammering on 
the parts that are thus brought into 
extra play—and difficulties appears in 
the other part. Thus favoring a cer¬ 
tain threadbare tire on the front left 
wheel may expose the right front and 
rear tires to glass or other attacks. 
Better throw the old tire, and be done 
with it. 
New tires all around will probably 
save more exasperation than any other 
like expenditure of money on a long 
journey. I have on old tires, within 
a few days, spent more than half the 
cost of a new tire—and then bought 
new tires, anyhow. Those old tires 
would have served me for hundreds of 
miles around home, on familiar high¬ 
ways. But in strange country, on dif¬ 
ferent kinds of roads, whose peculiar¬ 
ities I could not instinctively meet, I 
had puncture after puncture, and blow 
outs. In putting in a reliner, it should 
be remembered that a size smaller inner 
tube should be used, for otherwise the 
full-sized, old inner tube will pinch and 
blow out, anyhow. 
Peculiarities of tires, rims and wheels 
prevent much discussion by me of the 
care and foresight that may be exer¬ 
cised. Spare plugs, a good pump, an 
extra tire, extra tubes, extra needle 
valves, a pressure gauge, patches and 
liquid cement, tire tape—what is often 
neglected around home may well be re¬ 
garded from the view-point, not theo¬ 
retical, of miles distance from garages 
and all succor but what is in one’s own 
toolbox. 
The car should always contain a dia¬ 
gram of the ignition, and all the ram¬ 
ifications of the electric system. With¬ 
out being sure as regards the majority 
of cars, I suggest that most of the 
minor troubles will be had with the 
electrical features—perhaps 75% of 
all troubles are in the wires and bat¬ 
tery and plugs, lights, starter, horns, 
etc. I know that on my way from Her- 
mosa Beach, on the Pacific, to Little 
Falls, N. Y., a dead tail light and tire 
trouble comprised our vexations, and 
fearing laws and consequences, I spent 
at least $6 on the tail light, and not 
till we fairly dismounted the wiring did 
we find that the cause was a cable 
conductor which had worn through 
where it rested on an axle, which a few 
turns of tire tape remedied. 
Finding the causes of troubles is gen¬ 
erally the costly thing about car electri¬ 
cal apparatus. Within this month, 
months of starter difficulty was traced, 
at last, in my car. Where the brushes 
came to the cylinder, they at times hung 
exactly plumb-center, and all clear. 
The electricity couldn’t jump the space. 
By turning down the copper, and read¬ 
justing the brushes the fault was partly 
remedied. Four or five garages had 
hunted for this fault. Often the car
