to prevent the occurrence of these
troubles because acute overheating
means such heavy repairs as replac-
ing cylinders and pistons which will
run into hundreds of dollars. About
the only way to guard against acute
overheating is to tape up water drains
and watch the condition of the clips
on the hose connections. Even then
the possibility of a sudden radiator
leak cannot be guarded against nor
the breakage of the water pumps or
connections
On long reliab ability runs it is ctss-
tomary for the passenger TO watch at
the side of the radiator for steam to
come from the overflow pipe, this be-
ing possible way of determining a
Geranged cooling system Unfortun-
ate1y it is not possible to drive with
ones hand on the radiator for by
means of radiator temperature it is
not only possible to tell water loss but
also overheating due to- stoppage of
oil as it is well known fact that
the failure of the oi1ing system pro-
duces quick acute oVerheating with
most disastrous results.

saved for many of US.
The subject to which 1 refer is that
dealing with letter writing and its
adjunct keeping the letters we re-
ceiYe.
If. when we are wrought up on
some special sub ject, we just wait
a day or two before we write to the
party against whom we have oft
times only an imaginary grievance so
much trouble would be saved. Is

a very different character when the

that the expressions quite alter the
complexion of things.
If these letters hadn't been written
and hadn't been kept. much real trou-

Then again it is very unwise to
to write as affectionately as perhaps
you feel. OF course, in some cases it
is all right, and the loving messages
from one affianced to another, from
husband to wife, cannot be miscon-

Lots OF women and girls however
have failed to realize the danger of
these demonstrations on paper. When
outside critical eyes read their ex-
pressions of affection they naturally
wish that in a moment of impulse
they hadn't shown their Utmost feel

Therefore I conjure my sisters to
cease from writing anything that
they would not care to have others see.
A good maxim is to regard even your

Motor Heat and Overhead.

(By George H. TOWNSEND IL
Overheating of motors can be divid-
ed into two classes - chronic and
acute. Chronic overheating owing to
inadequate cooling surface and poor
design is seldom found on cars of
modern vintage, because all engineers
now provide ample cooling surface
for their cars. When this chronic
condition is found it cannot be COM
batted except by fitting larger ra-
diator or pump. However, motorists
term carbonized cylinders or over-rich
mixture as chronic conditions and
conditions that ultimately cause dam
age to the motor There is no sure
road to ascertaining these conditions
except by knowing the running tenn
