About Muff1er Explosions.
''The amateur motorist Is apt to con-
| fuse mufler explosions and back firing"
says Emil Grossman. "Muff1er explosions
result from the discharge from the cylin-
ders of quantities Of unburnt gases, while
backtiring is due to the ignition of vol
ume Of gas in the intake manifold while
| it is on it's way to the cylinders. The two
phenomena are caused by opposite con-
ditions."

| In his new book, "The Trail of the
Bulldog" which tells of the ffty-thou-
sand-mie journey by automobile into all
| parts Of the United States, Mexico and
Alaska, Dr. Charles G.. Percival Of New

continent trip from San Francisco to New
York in midwinter.
| Says the author: Crossing the seven
mountain ranges of the Sierra Nevada
and Rocky mountains through three feet
of snow and in below zero weather to an
| elevation OF 5000 feet we experienced
absolutely no diff -ulty with the engine
| or radiator freezing, as we used in our
radiator a compound consisting of one
part denatured a.cohol to three parts OF

which can be obtained in any country,
