fay GIVES HINTS ON
WINTER MOTORING

Undoubtedly the heir to the throne Of
success Is the man who owns and uses
good automobile. Is the opinion Of
Thomas Fay. former president of the
Society of Automobile Engineers and
manager of the Rockefeller Motor Com
pany. .....s..-
Fay has given out some excellent hints
on winter motoring and they should be
carefully perused by motorists who
drive their cars in winter time AT
this time OF the year." says Fay,
when the more timid of the car own
ers are fretting about the possible mis-
chief that Jack Frost may be up to; /;
when some owners. like natures small
try. would undergo monotonous nj
bernation, placing their automobiles on
dead storage, it but remains Tor the
wise ones to have a care. .
Don't depend upon water in the radi.
ator-use half and half. water and gly-
cerine, or like proportions Of denatured
alcohol.
Don't purchase inferior motor
spirits" (gasolene)-the, heavier products
are nonvolatile in cold weather.
Don't use viscose lubricating OIL
get a standard brand of winter-body
automobile lubricating medium. in seal
ed cans.
Don't run on partly debated tires
they will crack in the cold.
Don't let dirt accumulate at the
joints az any point-it will form hard
crust and cut like knfe-edge.
Don't neglect the spr;ngs-they make
noise, crying for graphite grease be-
tween the plates.
Don't fold the top down while it is
wet-the fabric will freeze and crack.
Don't let mud fresh from the road
keep an appointment with depreciation
on the finish of the body-it will elope
with the color.
Don't keep up high speed on frozen
and rough roads-battle-scarred tires
will be the product.
Don't leave the lap robes at home
they long to, snuggle up to you in the
cold.
Don't risk roadside repairs-cold wea-
ther work of this character is biting
and bad
Don't forget the flter-Maranvillized
fabrication puts the sweet in the rum
ming qualities in the power plant"

That The Washington Times Auto
Bike offer is the best newspaper prop.
osition ever offered in Washington was
proved this morning by the throng OF
youngsters who early trooped into the
Times office to claim the machines fol-
which they had worked Everyone OF
them declared the work was the easiest

scription blanks which poured into the

II necessary to send kilograms to the
factory for another rush shipment of
the machines. These are, expected in a
few days time, and while some of the
youngsters will be obliged to wait until
they arrive, they will find themselves
amply repaid by the auto-bike.

Jolt the Tank to
Get Last Bit of Gas

Occasionally when an automobile en-
gine gives symptoms of coming to a
halt because of a shortage OF fuel, it
may be induced to fire long enough to
reach a supply station by violently
jouncing the car on its springs, the
theory being that a small quantity of
fuel may remain in one part of the tank
lower than the outlet to the carbaret-
ter. This is particularly true of force
feed systems, where the outlet projects
for some little distance up from the
bottom Of the tank.
