"Detour," This is: a word that is de- cidedly unpopular to touring =toilets, for it never meansexactly the eame thing twice. : One detour May over a semi -improved road and; be a pleas- ant diversion while the very newt one encountered will be over treacherous roads. full of rocks, ruts and holes: The gigantic road building pro- grammes whioh are being carried 011• and which are to he +inaugurated . thisb6Ca year interest motorists thee y will provide better highways. But dur- ing the process of construction there will be many detours, encountered by touriste and other's. Because many detours+ are rough and rutty and unpleasant, many drivers seek to alleviate the discomfort' of poor road conditions by driving with less than the usual amount of air pre:s- sure. By so doing they subject their tires to extremely severe punishment which often causes permanent injuries. The life of balloon tires and ethers too, would be increased. if motorists about to start over a detour, -partieu- larly, would check air pressure in all the tires. Not only will this, prolong the life of the tire, but will also pro- long the life of the car by eushioning it ftom severe road shocks, something. underinflated tires cannot do. Driving over stones and dropping into holes should be done with great care. Tires are built to withstand the normal natural wear of normal road conditionst'but they will not stand con- tinual blows with a sledge .hammer any more than a. car will. and this is just what happens when the tires drop in a hole at a high rate of speed. After an unusually rough detour wheel aliguments should be checked as often one deep rut is sufficient to throw them out of alignment with con- sequnt increased tire wear. :a Use Minard's Liniment in the stables Queer Material.
