Doings in The Auto World

The average owner of an automo- bile doesn't like to take advice" says Max HageIstine, "but warn the mo- torist of impending trouble and he'n stretch a point to heed it. So hope this advice will be taken a warning that spells trouble if it is not given the attention it deserves.
 Tt is obvious that the idea of flood ing the carburetor is to obtain tenn porarily enriched mixture, but the value of the flooding is lost if it be done when the cylinders and induction pipe are full of mixture. When using the 'choker' the carbVretor needle is lifted free of the seat, all air passages posed to be thrown into the cylinders in order that your starting condition will be similar to that when a motor Is primed. But ignition does not oc- cur immediately when there is kero- sene in solution with the gasoline, and if the 'choker' is used excessively an accumulation of this solution will surely find it's way into the oil par.
 T have seen the owner of an auto mobile pull the choke switch way on and then press the starter button i'm effectually five or six times in cold weather. He finally gets an explosion, but the constant flooding of the car buretor causes this solution of kero- sene and gasoline to mix with the oil, thinning it and causing it to lose it's lubricating values.
 When starting your motor in cold weather, try turning the engine over using the tchoker-' In this way the air is expelled and a thin mixture of air and gasoline is inhaled in it's place. Flooding then gives temporarily engine should start at the first trial This is the procedure the professional driver very often adopts when his motor is cold.
 
 would be decidedly advantageous for the motor car owner to use fresh oil frequently. draining the oil pan and washing it thoroughly before refilling. Of course, it would hardly be possible for an owner to make chemical ana lysis of the .old oil, to determine whether or not its lubricating qualities had been exhausted, but from its con- sistency it should be easy to decide if fresh oil is needed. However with the coming of the warmer months. it will not be necessary to do this quite so often. This mad add slightly to the operating expense, but it certainly cannot be nearly so expensive as~the installation of new bearings, pistons and possibly set of cylinders"
 The tremendous growth of the Chandler Motor Car company may be cited as an example of a car that finds immediate acceptance by the public, adds to its prestige year by year, never suffers off year. and quickly establishes itself front rank quality car Four years afo this sea son the Chandler was just announced. Three years ago it was an infant in the industry. Two years ago it was a very much talked about car. and the demand could not be supplied. Last year the Chandler established itself very firmly, and today it occupies one of the foremost positions in the entire industry. M. B. Ring Automobile Agency is the local agent.
 The success of the 1916 automobile racing season was established beyond all question of doubt when the con- test board of the American Autono- bile association held it's dinner at the Chicago Automobile club and official 1y awarded the 1916 championship to Dario Resta. together with a beautiful diamond studded platinum fob, a gift from the contest board, the Bosch tro- phy, $5,000 of the B. F. Goodrich com- pany's cash prize and $2,00O of the Bosch cash award. Aitken and Rick enbacher, who finished the season second and third, received $3.000 and $2,000 of the Goodrich cash prize and sd 900 and $500 of the Bosch cash prize. respectively.
