Most forgotten of til parts of a mo-tor car when they are Id good condi-tion, and most blamed when they go wrong, tires plead mutely for a driver's attention. If you should ask the average mo-torist whether he takes care of his tires, he would probably reply, "Of course"; and yet the chances are thot be Is neglectful of some detail of tire care. Three Tire Factors. There are only three factors which I govern the cost per mile of tire opera-tlo- The Art Is the quality of the h tire, the second, the conditions of op-- I tration, and the third, the care of the v ' tire by the wner.' In order, to cut down the cost of ' tlr. mileage, all three factors must be regarded as Im-portant , i v ; It Is of no benefit to buy the best tires obtainable, pnt them on your car, and then forget about them. Watch for small cuts, bruises, pieces - of 'metal or other foreign matter In your tires. Slight defects such as " these, If unattended to, will cause - serious trouble. , Proper Inflation of tires Is most Im-- " porfant. Tires of any size are made to hold a definite amount of air under pressure. Any certain tire Is deslgued to carry Its prescribed weight only If It Is properly Inflated. Therefore, i don't wait until your tires are obvi-ously flat before relnflatlng them, and don't trust to the "kick" method to tell you whether or not they are hard enough, Take a pressure read-ing once a week, whether your tires seem to need It or not. TJnderlnflatton flexes the tire side-wall- s too much, causing them to break down. l' Care of Balloon Tires. ' ,' Underlnflatlon In a balloon tire Is not as noticeable as In cord tires, and for . this reason, extra care must be taken In checking up on balloon tires. In this type of tire. It Is not neces-sary to use such high pressure as In cord tires, but It Is Just as Important to see that you have proper Inflation. Balloon tires are also often overln- - , dated. This destroys much of their power to absorb road shocks. Don't abuse your tires by driving In car tracks and deep ruts, or by scraping curbstones. And don't for-- 0 get that proper care of your tires means a saving both of time and money. . Pasting on Blind Turns Very Dangerous Practice Teasing on blind turns I That's too common a trait of the sverage motor-ist, according to the safety bureau of the Natlonul Automobile club. Mak-ing up time, delay In passing the ear alieaj until too late for such passing, recklessness, taking a chance, all thes factors enter Into the problem of hazard, i, ; A group of newspaper men set out to observe the other day a driver who was Just ahead of them and who sccmea to nave a habit of attempting to pans at the wrong moment. Time after time this driver would slow op on the stralght-awa- y 6nly to speed and pass the cars aheud when he came to a turn. There wns something radically wrong with his driving com-plex, lie might have Intended to be cnreful, but his Judgment brought him to grief. Most accidents are caused by Just such drivers, drivers who should not be allowed at the wheel of a motor tor, as they are a menace to the safety of others. The innocent victim Is usually the man swinging around a turn only to find a foolhardy pilot taking more than his share of the highway. A forfeiture of a driver's license, a few days In Jail, these are sentences that should be the reward of the man who takes a chonce when In tak-ing the chance he endangers the Uvei of others on the road. CAUGHT IN FENCE AND CLUB LOSES Little Finger Stuck in Crack Between Boards. While we are on the subject of un-usual plays there was one that oc-curred several years ago In the Three-- I league In a game between Daven-port end Peoria In which Pavenport lost a ball game through Its right fielder getting his little finger caught In a crack between the boards In the outfield fence. . It happened In the latter part of the game, with Davenport In the field with a two-ra- lend and every pros-pect of winning the game. Peoria got two men on with two out, when the next batter lifted a high fly to rltfht field that looked to be easy for the right fielder, who backed up toward the fence to make the catch. Johnny ("untie, then manager of the Daven-port team, was playing In center field, and he yelled at the right fielder to "watch out for the fence," whereupon the right fielder turned and stuck out his bare hand against the boards of the fence Just as the ball struck the fence above his head. The force of the Impact of the play-er's hand against the board fence sprung out the board enough to per-mit the fielder's little finger to slip Into the crack between the boards, and the board, springing back, held It there as In a vise, while the ball, having struck the fence fell deod at the player's feet, As his finger wss ' held tight between the boards of the ' fence, he couldn't stoop to pick up the ball, and while the crowd and the ' other players wondered what was the matter with him the base runners and the batter who had hit the ball were tearing around the bases with the ty-ing and winning runs. By the time Castle had raced ovor from center field and returned the ball to the Infield the batter had made a home run Hnd the game was lost-t- hen he pushed out the board In the fence and released his right fielder. The open mind GENERAL MOTORS has an open program is to provide a quality car in each price field. Already this program has led to the develop- - ment of cars that differ widely in type and special features, each designed to serve a special purpose. , Through its laboratories, which are ' the largest automotive laboratories, General Motors seeks to look into the ' future. At its Proving Ground it tests ; improvements created anywhere in the . world. . , It is committed to nothing except quality at the lowest possible cost. Every detail is subject to constant questioning and the possibility of betterment. - This mental attitude is of interest to. ,;, you as a car buyer.

Over 53 million bottle aoU, , Strange Coincidence la Suggested in Baseball What a strange coincidence It would be If Pittsburgh won the pennant In the National feague and Detroit In the American I These two clubs now are managed by Owen Hush and (ivorge Morlarlty, who In the days when Detroit wns winning pennants starred nt shortstop and third base, respectively. To make the situation all the more unusual, these two players were the peperpols of the TlKers, also room-mates as well. Now they are manag-ing mighty strong ball clubs In the rival major leagues. In those days Hughey Jennings would supply the pepper from the Tig-ers bench and couching lines. On the field Bush and Morlarty would pull It. Game of Golf Taken Too Seriously by Players Isn't It true that we dg take golf too seriously? Wouldn't our game Improve faster If we didn't knit our brows every time we tackle Its intricacies? Couldn't we get Just a little more fun out of It? ; Golf to most of those who play It Is certainly a most serious business. If a round, even with old friends. Is plnyed soclnbly, It Is at the expense of the game, says the Sportsman. Si-lence and obsequial gloom brood over the putting greens. A mutch for the president's cup Is a funeral proces-sion. Golf a sociable game? About as sociable as a hand at ConSeld In the morgue on a rainy afternoon In November. It would not do, of course, to drop the bars entirely. It would be Im-possible, for example, to play a game In the vicinity of an artillery proving grounds. A certain amount of concen-tration Is part and parcel of a game which, of Its very nature. Is more men-tal than physical. For old can play as well as young, and on even terms. Whether or not we need absolute si-lence, however, remains a debatubte point Paul Goebel Says His Football Career Ended Panl Goebel, former Michigan star, announces that be Is through with football and that he will devote his time In the future to the sporting goods store he operates at Grand Rapids. Goebel has returned after playing the professional game with Red Orange's team and taking a fling at the movies. Paul admits that he rath-er likes the movies. After the close of the professional football season Goebel went to Los Angeles, where he took a minor role In Grange's latest picture. Goebel has been playing profession-al football every season since he fin-ished at Michigan, but he says be la through. . Fritz Maisel at End of Active Baseball Career The active playing days of Frits Maisel, former speedhoy of the old New York Tankees, appear to be about nt an end. Maisel led the American league In stolen bases some 12 years ago. Playing second base, with Roper Pecktnpaugh at shortstop, be also led the loop In double plays one year, al-though he was a third baseman during most of his career with the Tanks. Maisel la captain of the Baltimore Orioles and also a stockholder. Work-ing at third base, with Joe Boley at shortstop, be was rated one .of the best hot corner guardians In the minors, but evidently has decided to oult In time. Bluege to Play Short 4" Ossle Bluege, third baseman for the ft'ashlngton ball club, has been shifted permanently to shortstop by Mannger Bucky Harris, who declared In making the announcement he wouldn't be able to win a pennant slth Bluege "In any other position." Inability of other players to give satisfactory results on double plays between first and second prompted the change, the manager said. Buddy Myer is slated to take up the work at the hot corner.

Divorceward Bound Texas Qulnan, the New York night club hostess, said to an Interviewer the other night: "Whenever a new divorce scandal crops up I think of a conversation I once overheord between two women. " 'My husband,' said the first wom-an, 'just dotes on sardines and all kinds of canned goods.' " 'Yes,' said the second woman. Tb a bum cook, too.' " Pocket Health Machine So small that It can be slipped Into an overcoat pocket, a portable arti-ficial sunlight generator weighing only two pounds, litis been Invented by a German scientist. The generator, which resembles n toy phonograph, win be plugged Into an ordinary elec-tric light socket. It consists of a lit-tle nickel-plate- horn fitted to a cir-cular metal case. Inside the horn are two specially prepared carbons, across which passes a spark giving out ultra-violet rays. A person sitting two feet awny may have the whole body bathed In the rays. - Automobile Inspection Would Avert Accidents Many automobile accidents could be eliminated if motorists got Into the habit of having their cars Inspected and overhauled regularly. In the opin-ion of the Notional Safety council, ! which points out that a great propor-tion of automobile accidents are duo directly to faulty equipment. The followlns rules also should be carefully adhered to by motorists In order to cm down the number of accidents: Brakes should he kept In efficient - condition at all times, and frequent tests should be made. Chains should be used during fey and wet weather. Number plates should be kept clean. Motorists should not tolerate noisy ; mutllers. AH cars should be equipped with bumpers, as they will lessen damage due to collision. Mickey Walker Signs to Risk Title in London The London Dally Mall says that Charles B, Cochran, promoter, has ob-tained the signatures of both Mickey Walker, world's middleweight cham-pion, and Tony Mllllgan of Scotland.

AUTOMOBILE HINTS A car that will go eighty miles an hour shouldn't. Too high a temperature will dry out the rubber In tires, while too low will stiffen It.

Army Car Drivers Must Share Road With Others Listed among the strict prohibitions , observed by operators of United .States army cars are: Smoking while driving, repeated sounding of horns, and holding bock faster-movin- g cars. On dry, dusty roads the driver must m , run at reduced speed, so that no un- - r necessary dust will be raised to ob scure the vision of other motorists. When meeting an approaching car the soldier-chauffeu- r Is ordered to give it no less than half the road. If the road Is narrow or rough he must slow down to half speed. No operator Is allowed to halt on a bridge, narrow road or bend of the road.
