Hot weather is the enemy of rub-
ber tires. Tiremen estimate that tire
failures are 20 per cent higher in
the summer months than in other
seasons of the year.
Blowouts occurring in the summer,
often times attributed to other
causes, are more generally the result
of the extreme heat generated in the
carcass of the tire, according to
Floyd Nelson, of The Nelson Service
Station, Seiberling tire dealer in
Nocona.
“Heat cannot be entirely elimi-
nated from the tire but the practice
of some time precautionary meas-
ures such as listed below will re-
duce to a minimum tire failures re-
sulting from it,” Mr. Nejson says.
“Keep the tires fully inflated.
When they are not, over-flexing re-
sults. Over-flexing has the same
effect on the cords of a tire as does
repeated bending in the same place
have on a piece of wire. Check the
air pressure of your tires frequently
but always when they are cold. Heat
increases the air pressure and gives
a false estimate cf amount of air in
the tire.
“Avoid driving your tires over
stones or holes in the road or bruis-
ing them against curbs.
“Have wheels checked frequently
for alignment and balance; have the
brakes equalized.
“Change the tires every couple of
thousand miles moving them from
wheel to wheel and give the spare
tire a turn on the road.
In conclusion, Mr. Nelson stated,
“if you follow these easily applied
rules. your summer trip will be more
pleasant and the life of your tubes
will be longer.”

Looking ahead to the approaching
observance of the Fourth of July, Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer,
warns against the irresponsible use
of fireworks and other explosives.
Dr. Cox pointed out that celebra-
tion of the Fourth of July has as-
sociated with it inevitable increase
in hazards to life and limb: auto
accidents increase in added traffic
congestion; an undue number of
drownings jccur, chiefly affecting
non-swimmers in places lacking
adequate safety supervision; and a
great many injuries and not a few
deaths are directly attributed to fire-
works. The past several years have
seen the introduction of municipal
ordinances in certain cities designed
to prevent the indiscriminate and
Intemperate use of fireworks, par-
ticularly the more dangerous types, i
and this has to some degree re-
duced the hazard associated with |
their general use.
However, it is not to be Inferred
that risks to health and life from
fireworks have been eliminated com -
pletely. Temporary stands inside
city limits make explosives accessible
to the Independence Day celebrators,
while the large majority of Texas
communities have as yet adopted no
regulations barring them. Non-
thinking parents still permit thous-
ands of children to use this danger-
ous method of celebrating the
Fourth, with the inevitable result
that some of them find their way
to the hospital, and others to an
undertaker’s establishment. Tetanus I
always is in the shadow where high
explosives are being handled for
amusement by amateurs. Any per-
son receiving a powder bum or
i wound however superficial, should i
see a physician immediately. Anti- ,
tetanus serum, in the majority of --
Instances, will be administered to LE
prevent the possibility of lockjaw, rlj
To treat an injury of this type un- Jfi
concernedly is to run an unjustifi- LE
able risk. Moreover, the post-1 rf]
Fourth’s casualty tiems are aug-1
mented by the carelessly operated ■
automobile. Statistics show that I
not only in Texas, but throughout |
the nation, the misoperated motor >
vehicle is a real Fourth of July
hazard. Again, the list of drown-
ings Is definitely increased on that
day. And finally, snake bites, pol-
luted drinking water, sunburn, and
poison ivy ?re always ready to meet
the excursionist half-way.
There is no desire to damper any I
one’s enthusiasm for fun and re-
laxation on the Fourth, but the wise
person will appreciate that harmful
possibilities to life, limbs and healtn
do exist, and will govern himself
accordingly.
