When examining inside of a casing for a puncture, fabric break or w eak spot, most of us ; ry to force the bead apart with both hands supporting the tire meanwhile upon our shoulders as best we can. Thi. task may be enormously lightened by udng a wedge made of a substantial bit of wood three-quarters of an inch thick and three to Jive inches long, according to the size of the tire. This wedge is slipped between tho beads and pulled around the circumference of the casing wi;h one hand, while th other hand Is free to hold the tire. This is the weather when you should NOT deflate your tires. Ma't drivers imagine that hot wather and t a rt icutarlv hot sun will cause
The rlrt of the recently announced Federal Fa 5t Express trucks left the Federal Motor Truck Co., Detroit, last Tuesday afternoon bound for Milwaukee. Wis. The first 50 truck of th-d ne-w model will be driven from the factory by dealers, leavint the factory in varying numbers each day. The report of the driver of the first new model has just been re reived at the factory. It bubble with enthusiasm. One hundred fifty-two miles were covered the first day. a stop being- made for. the night at Paw Paw, Mich. "To my surprise when I opened the gas tank," continues the report, "for the last lap of .my journey tht next day, I found that I still had a few gallons of gasoline (the- tank
only holding 12 1-2 gallons), giving, me a little better than 15 miles ti the gallon. My lubricating oil gauge showed ! better than 3-4 full but I checked in ' a quart for good measure and did-' not put any more In on the trip. ; neither did I put a drop of water in the radiator during th entire! trip." j Leaving Paw Paw at 8 o'clockWednesday morning, the writer states he arrived in Milwaukee! shortly before 9 o'clock in tiie even-! lng. So pleased was he with th! truck that he took the purchaser out that same night for a spin. "She sure is the' snappiest little bus I ever rode in and am sure glad I waited ! for it," wa.s the way the customer j described it. The second Fast Federal Expre-.;. to leave the factory made the 20-
miles to Columbus, O., in 9 hours.'

The New High Power Motor Fuel
Hudson Super-Six oeven Passenger Touring Car No. 646375, with three judges and a driver, ran a distance of 21 7-10 miles on one gallon of Benzolinc thus proving the point that Benzolinc DOES give maximum mileage per gallon. This official test was made with a Hudson stock car, borrowed from an owner. The run was made mostly over country roads, the speed varying from 15 to 50 miles per hour. In addition to increased mileage, Bcnzoline insures greater power; prevents carbon trouble; stops knocking in the motor. It js the all around motor fuel that you will eventually buy after you have tried all the rest.
Ask for Benzolinc at any of the following convenient Independent Stations: HILL STREET AND LASALLE AVENUE MISHAWAKA AVENUE AND 19TH ST. and CENTRAL YELLOW CAB STATION Elast Jefferson Boulevard
