TO TEST CARBURETORS
Jeffery Company Installs Big Works at
Kenosha, Wisconsin

The Thomas B. Jeffery Company
has recently installed in the big works
at Kenosha, Wis, a refrigerating plant
for the purpose of making cold wealth
er tests on Jeffery carburetors, bat
teries and motors, even when the ther-
mometer registers one hundred in the
shade.
In an hour after starting the re.
frigerating machinery, it is possible to
get temperature of from eight to ten
degrees below zero. The room in which
this outfit is installed will aceommo-
date one of the largest Jeffery models
and leaves plenty of room for men to
work on the car.
This device has been installed by
the .Jeffery Company SO that summer
experiments can be conducted under
winter conditions which should do
away, in connection with Jeffery cars,
with all those little difficulties which
owners sometimes experience, due to
falling temperatures.

SEASONS BUSINESS HEAVY
I. w. Dill, of the Hudson Agency, Opt
mistic on 1918 Outlook

I. W. Dill, of the Hudson agency, is
pleased with the season. s business of
1914 and with the outlook for 1915,
and says:
''The man who once rides behind a
Six is never again quite happy with a
-Four. The difference is too conspicu-
Gus. So, just as we went from two
cylinders to four, we are going from
Fours to Skies. This is true the world
over. ESen in Europe, where fuel con-
sumption is paramount question, the
small-bore Six is now acclaimed as the
most desirable type of car.
1.-the reason lies in the fact that
Skies alone offer the maximum of what
men now seek in a car. They offer the
only way to secure continuous power,
perfect balance, and absence of vibra-
tion at all speed. They offer flexibility,
less shifting of gears, quick accelera-
ton, greater comfort They decrease the
upkeep cost, the tire cost and lessen
the fuel consumption.

keep CAR IN SERVICE IN
WINTER MONTHS. ADVICE
George @. Mcfarland Explains Why
the Automobile Should Not Be AL
lowed to Lie Dormant During the
Frigid Weather

. 1t is far better to keep the auto
mobile in service throughout the entire
winter than it is to put it in storage.
The cars now built are constructed so
as to be equally as serviceable during
cold weather as during the war summer
months" states George G. Mcfarland,
of the Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany, distributors in this territory for
the Haynes, Americas First Car.
" When a storage battery is allowed to
stand for any length Of time, it grad.
ualiy becomes discharged even when
no current is being used. 1t is absO-
lutely necessary to charge the battery
every two or three weeks during the
period of its non-use if the battery is
to come through the storage undam-
aged, and some arrangement must be
provided for charging the battery.
Either the engine in the car may be
allowed to remain idle, or the battery
may be taken to charging station. AS
long as the car is kept in actual use,
there should be no need of this extra
attention if the least care is given the
ba ttery.
When an automobile is stored
through the winter, the oil and grease
has a tendency to gum UP and become
solid, especially at points where it is
spread out in thin films. Corrosion
takes place at many points and there
is a general deterioration. 1t is not
safe to put any ear into service again
In the spring after it has been stored,
unless it is given complete over
hauling, and this is an expensive prop
osition. The same condition prevails
IN an automobile as in any finely ad-
justed machine.
1.-The leading designers take into
account the fact that an automobile
should properly be an all year car by
providing suitable protection for win
ter use. The electric cranking motor
will start cold engine that would re-
fuse to start if cranked by hand. The
engine is turned over more rapidly by
the starting motor. A cold engine has
lost the terror it once had for the man
VINO formerly had to crank by hand
Also, from the economical side, it is
better to keep the machine in service
where it is producing results, than it
is to allow it to loose its service by
allowing it, to stand idle for several

At the Colonial

There's fat girl and lean girl at

amazing contrasts that they have the

bigger admissions than those at the CO.
