ThaWinq Frozen Water Pipes.

During the winter season much
trouble is experienced and many fires
are caused by ill-advised and ignorant
attempts to thaw frozen water pipes
In cases of bad freeze" plumber
should be called where possible. Ere.
quently, however, this is not practi-
cable and first aid' methods must be
employed, some of which are futile
and many Of them are positively dan
gerous.
The use of an open fame of any
description is always dangerous. 1t
frequently causes break in the pipe
which might otherwise be avoided and
is a fire menace Of the worst sort,
since freezes usually occur in or near
walls and partitions where there is a
draft or upward flow of air, which
makes it easy to start a fire.
In some cases ignorant occupants
have wrapped pipes with cloth satur-
ated with kerosene, which is set afire.
This is little short of criminal and
should never be resorted to under any
circumstances.
Practical plumbers are agreed that
the safest method is to wrap the froz-
en- pipe with cloth and pour over it
hot water until the pipe is cleared Of
ice. This seems to be the safest and
most practicable method thus far de-
vised.
Property owners may save them
selves much trouble by requiring
plumbers to avoid outside walls in
piping any building and the better
class of plumbers will usually be glad
to adopt any method Of running pipes
which may minimize trouble in cold
weather.
A little care along these lines will
result in substantial reduction in
the number of so-called "cold wealth
err fires.

makers have learned in their long years

DOUBLE EXHAUST SYSTEM
BIG HELP TO A MOTOR

The business Of automobile manufac-
turer has advanced to the point where
the makers Of pleasure vehicles are go
ing 10 endless pains to eliminate IN
pleasant features on their cars and add
TO their utility and comfort
One Of the latest Improvements to be
made in this line is the double exhaust
system which is now a feature Of one
Of the new cars.
The exhaustiug OF six cylinders in
rapid rotation INFO a single exhaust
pipe is invariably productive OF high
back pressure, a fault which inFari-
ably results in poor efficiency from the
motor.
To prevent this the engineers have
provided two exhaust pipes, one for
the front three cylinders and the other
for the back three. By proper adjust
ing, the cylinders fire first into one
pipe and then into the other, thus doing
away with the fault OF having an un-
necessarily large -mOunt OF burned
gases in the clearance spaces.
The motor was put through an eN-
haustive test at testing laboratories
and here are the results:
When the motor had the convention
81 single exhaust system il was in1pos-
sibIe to get more than 42.5 horse power,
even By increasing the speed above
1900 r P. NJ as there was q loss OF
power when this speed was exceeded.
When the same motor was tested
with the double exhaust system. the
power climbed steadily-at 1900 r. p
N. the motor was developing So horse
power-2z.S percent more power. than
before.
