BATTERY IS AN IMPORTANT PART Inconspicuous But Mighty Factor in Electrical Equip ment, Says H. L. Myers Probably no other Improvement for the autimobile has been more ex tensively adopted than the starting and lighting system. Hand cranking we know, was certainly troublesome and time consuming, and it is there lore not to be wondered at that mo torists generally were quick to adopt the system. Strange as it may seem. ho\\ever, few car owners appreciate the ex tent to which the storage battery is responsible for the proper operation of the starting and lighting system. The average motorist will talk about rear axles, spark plugs, the differen tial, the starting and lighting system, etc., but seldom a word about the battery used for the system. is probably due to the fact that the battery is tucked away and hidden from view. The Electric Storage Battery Com pany, the oldest and largest manu facturer of storage batteries in the country, makers fit the famous "Ex ldo" Battery for auto starting and lighting, has for years endeavored to more thoroughly acquaint the motoring public with the storage battery and its care. It must not be forgotten that the •'Exide - ' Battery was the very first commercially successful battery used lor automobile starting and lighting. Since its introduction, however, the manufacturer has made numerous improvements upon it. The "Exide" Battery is now of unit cell construc tion—that is, each cell is a separate sealed unit. This allows for greater power in a given space, and permits the removal of any one cell which might require repairing, without in terfering with the remaining cells. It was has a patented gas vent and nontlooding filling plug. There nre also other features of advantage which nre found only in the "Exide" Battery. In all the principal cities and towns "Exide" service stations have been established to care for the bat tery need of the motoring public. A specialist on the care and operation of batteries at the service station *will gladly give advice to the car owner. Regular monthly battery tests will be made at the "Exide" service sta tion no matter what make of bat tery on the car. This service is free of charge and can be arranged for by all car owners. Repairs to bat teries If necessary, will be made at reasonable cost. It is interesting to note that bat teries made by this company are used in a majority of the United States submarines: for gun firing in the United States Navy and coast defense service: for automobile starting and lighting) tlmMt exclusively by large centra) lighting and power compan- ies: by the telephone, telegraph and wireless companies: in thousands of house lighting plants; for both pleas ure and commercial electrical ve hicles, mine locomotives, industrial trucks, railway signals, battery street cars, etc. Why You Should Never Pare a Corn If you are troubled with corns or calluses, do not run the risk of blood poison by paring them. Statistics show that many deaths have occurred from this seemingly innocent practice of paring corns. Simply go to your druggist and get a few cents worth of Ice-Mint, rub a little on any painful corn or callus. Immediately the pain will disappear and in a short time the corn or cal lus will loosen and lift off easily with Ihe fingers—root and all —leaving the surrounding skin in a healthy, normal condition. This, together with the fact that Ice-Mint overcomes such affections as sore, tired, aching, puffed or burning feet and makes them cool, easy and [comfortable .is probably responsible for the hearty endorsement given it by druggists. To rid one's feet of every hard corn, soft corn, corn between the toes or painful calluses in such a pleasant and safe way, makes it seem the height of folly for anyone to pare a corn, and people are warned to stop it. —Advertisement.

Dee leeve I TUESDAY EVENING, RIMS IMPORTANT FACTOR OF TIRES Firestone Tire Expert Tells of Standardized Advantages and Other Rim Helps In the early manufacture of tires, it was realized that the beads should be constructed in shape and measure ments to a standard. The importance of secure fastening and correct seat ing of tire on rim has been evidenced by the care and rigid specifications which tire manufacturers have fol lowed in the construction of beads, although not adhering to any par ticular standard as to construction of side walls, tread portion of tire, number of plies of fabric or thick ness of materials. At present both American tires and rims are made>to their respective standards or approximately so, and thereby safety and efficiency are in sured to a large degree: it is also possible for a customer to use tires of any American manufacture. The guarantee of all standard com panies makes it very clear that the warranty does not cover tires used on rims which do not bear the of ficial inspection stamp of the Society of Automotive Engineers. On account of the danger of rims applied to wire wheels being drawn out of round and especially the dan ger of such rims becoming under size in circumference, the official in spection is now extended to cover completed wire wheels. In the future, wheels are not acceptable to any tire comany and tires are not guaran teed thereon unless such wheels bear the Inspection stamp. Even though rims bear an inspec tion stamp, it should not bo taken for granted that they are all right— sometimes they are damaged in ap plication to wheels or in service-—- therefore it is advisable to examine carefully. . Some straight-side rims on the market were manufactured by sim ply bending down the clinches of the regular stock used for clincher rims. They are not a good fit for straight-side tires and in manv in stances accourtt for breaking above cables, pinched tubes and other in juries. Some types of split rims, par ticularly of the straight-side style are difficult to tighten uniformly on the wheel. Under such circumstances the rims spring out of round, also shift sideways at split. If the clamp ing or fastening device is not correct the rim will likely sag in places and wherever it is low or much out of round the tire will be high from the rim seat; pinched tubes and blow out are not an uncommon result. Protection from rim cutting is not to be obtained by any particular type of tire but depends rather upon the design, quality and usage. Xo good tire of any standard type will be cut by any standard rim. if properly used. On the other hand, any type of tire will bo injured if subjected to abuse. Under inflation dented and irregular rims, excessive loads, tire fillers and stiff reliners are the com mon causes for cutting and breaking above beads. The flanges of a rim may be bat tered down and become rough from running a tire deflated for a consid erable distance; the next tire applied, is sure to be cut above the beads. Tires carrying heavier loads than those for which they are designed may develop breaking at the beads where engaged by clinches of rim. If rims become rusted from water working around beads when tires are run soft or through neglected cuts in the tires, or from neglect to put proper fittings on the valve stem, the rust should be removed with emery paper and rims painted with a coating of aluminum, graphite and oil or other good preservative solu tion. When applying a tire, be care ful that the flap does not slip under neath bead and crowd it In clinch of rlm. Under the impression that they are oversize, it is not uncommon for tires to be applied to rims of wrong size—for example, using 36x4 K tire on a 36x4 rim. The diameter of this rim is approximately 28 inches and the diameter of the beads of the tire approximately 27 inches, or approxi mately 26 inches, therefore it be comes necessary to stretch and strain the beads considerably. Moreover, the 4 -inch beads are not construct ed to fit a 4-inch rim and will not engage properly in the clinches. Good results cannot be secured when the beads are strained and crowded in this manner. The correct oversize tire for 36x4 rim is 37x4 , /j. When removing tires from rims, do not overlook pushing valve stem of tubes up far enough in tires so so that it will not be necessary to pound fastening device of rims in order to release beads of cases. Rims are sometimes dented from pouftding them In this way. AVhen chafing, cutting or breaking extends all around beads on both sides, repairs are expensive and not to be recommended. If the injury only extends for a short distance over one or both beads, a skillful re pairman can make a good Job at a reasonable cost. A successful tire must be properly designed, (i. e.), the shape suitable for the size of the section and a cor rect balance is an essential thing; the tire must be strong enough to render good service but not too thick, heavy or stiff to prevent dis tribution of strains and stand the flexing action in side walls. Extra thickness and weights add ed to tires will cause additional heat and interfere with the radiation. Tread attachments or covers creep, chafe, heat and Stiffen the tread to such an extent that fabric breaks are caused by a localized hinging action in side walls. It is not advisable to use reliners in new tires because thev tend to flatten the tires similar to under-ln flation, and, in many ways, interfere with the design and intended action. If made of flexible material, and well constructed. reliners are a good thing in old tires, having separation and breaks in the fabrics and which would not, without reinforcement, be serviceable. Under such circum stances, reliners strengthen the tires protect Inner tubes from being pinch ed by the fabric and often make it possible to secure a great deal of extra mileage. Editor's Note—The sixth and last article in this series will contain some very practical advice on the repair of tires, and the proper usage of inner tubes. It will appear in next Saturday's Telegraph.
