No car owner of the present day
needs to be told how Important lubri-

of the motor car. However, there are
certain forms of lubrication fallure

INNER TUBE IN CASE
First Thing to Do Is to Partly
Inflate It.
Bad Practice to Allow It to Rest on
Ground or Garage Floor, Thus
Picking Up Particles of Sand,
Cinders or Oil,
Unexpected outbursts from Inner
tubes originate from sins of omission
and commission, By emphasizing the
more glaring ones it Is believed the
motorist can be saved the dollars that
would otherwise be wasted.
Haste in replacing punctured or
blown-out tubes is trouble, The
right way to place a tube inte a ecas-
ing Is to first partly inflate it. Then
it should be applied carefully, the side
bearing the stem always being kept In
sight. When it Is in the casing It
should be talced carefully and the fin-
gers forced all around the tre to make
sure that tale has been evenly dis
tributed. A tube never should be In-
serted unless partially inflated.
In pumping a tube before Insertion
most motorists allow it to rest on the
ground or on the floor of the garage
This practice is wrong. It allows thp
tube to pick up particles of sand, cin-
ders and oil, which create friction and
eventually tiny holes,
The right way is to place the tube
over the left shoulder and pump with
the right hand. Thus no portion of
the tube will be allowed to touch the
road or pavement. When tube is well
rounded with alr and free from
wrinkles It is ready for insertion In
the casing, and then should be pumped
to the prescribed pressure.

MAKING SUCCESS OF GARDEN

able and in Crumbly State When
Plowed or Hoed,
The success of a garden Is largely
due to the manner In which the soll
has been prepared. The soil must be
deep, mellow and friable, so that it
will be in a crumbly state when
plowed or hoed. That is, the minute
particles of the soil must be granular,
maintaining its form and con
sistency. When such soil is wet, each
portion is enveloped by a film of water
which is retained for some time. The
plant food is thus dissolved and this
water-aden plant food Is taken by
the roots of the plants,
