Complains Of Calcium
Chloride as Non
Freeze Mixture

To the Automobile Editor Of The
Tribune.
Sir: In The Sunday Tribune several
weeks back you advised automobile
owners to put non-freezng tolution
made from calcium chloride In the "a
diator Of their cars.
Accordingly had some made mp and
put it in the radiator Of my Cadillac car.
Now. after about five weeks use, the
radiator is leaking badly, and / am
advised by chemist that the comb
nation of copper, solder and calcium
chloride solution makes a fine voltaic
cell, and tho resulting elcctrolytc ac-
tion eats away the copper. This is due
to the fact that the cell is short-cir-
cuited.
have not taken the radiator of the
car yet, so do not know the extent OF
the damage. But would suggest that
you investigate, and if the damage Is
due TO electrolytic action, as suggested,
that you advise auto owners, through
your column, TO avoid the use Of this
solution in radiators to prevent freez'
ing. W. r.. OSIEkliOLl.

sity Of getting chemically pure calcium
chloride. The ordinary commercial
sort, which contains acid or chloride OF
lime, which sometimes is sold as cal

upon the system. A test for acid by
means of litmus paper was mentioned
as a guide IA determining the sort OF
calcium chloride being used
It has been the experience OF several
motorists We have talked to that when
chemically pure calcium chloride il
used. and the solution carefully com.

TESTING DEMOCRACY

Government of the people. by the
people and for the people" is at a
crucial test in our country. It is be.
coming more difficult daily to draw the
line of demarcation between the pow
ers of Congress and the powers Of the
President. Virtually the only assur-
ance that the people Of the United
States will be consulted, even indi-
rectly, on the matter of its going to
war is the statement of President Will
son that-in spite of his possession of
power to arm ships and thus, for all
practical purposes, involve us in war
he will not do so openly without call
ing an extra session of Congress
Will we act with a united front
should that time come? In the alb
sence of large army and navy will
the spirit of rs and 1872 again revive
itself and vindicate the nation? These
are questions occupying the thoughts
of all true and patriotic Americans
today.
In 76 we humiliated the mother
country with our small and ragged
army; in 1912 we again triumphed
over the RULER of the Waves with |
our despicabie feet of eighteen |
wooden barks" against Britain's |
ships of the line" The scales
of justice were in each case swung
in our favor by some greater
power than "reeking tube and iron
shard." So long as american war
fare" means defensive warfare" and
we are on the side of justice to human
ity. the spirit of 76 and 1872 will con-
tinue to burn within the souls of all
ready to fight to the last
trench for the freedom and glory of the
nation.
