Systematizino Auto Use.

Cleveland proposes to run its city autos on a taxi basis. New York has similar system, which has brought about a reduction of city automobile expenses, and has prevented joy rides by employees. In New York there are 54 machines and chauffeurs operated from a central garage, which supplies % departments with automobile serv- ice, charging each department S1.60 an hour for each car used. The chauffeur reports stops made, exact time the ma chine runs and whether there were any woman passengers or not.
 Such a system is putting city auto service on a business basis. Its econ omy is in having no more machines than are put to use. There are times when under the old systems, machines stood for hours without being used. That shows a city has more machines than 1t needs. The taxi system reduces the auto to the city's requirements, which one can imagine are not very strenuous at times.

Cold Weather Hints For Auteists.

If water-cooled engine is not care fully guarded in cold weather and the water Is allowed to freeze in any part of the system, pipes or radiators will break or a water jacket will crack, according to the agricultural engineer ing department of the Nebraska Col lege of Agriculture.
 When leaving the car for the night or for a long time during the day the safest plan is to drain the water out of all parts of the system. The en- zine may then be allowed to run for a few minutes to make sure that all the water has been removed. If the car Is used a great deal in cold weather. 1t may be advisable to use a non-freezing solution. A mixture of denatured al- cohol and water has proved good for this purpose. A mixture containing 20 per cent alcohol will freeze at 10 degrees above zero; a 90 per cent so- lution will freeze at 5 below; 70 per cent solution at 20 below; and 90 per cent solution at 8 below.

Books in Prison.

Prison literature has many fine pro- auctions to its credit in prose as well as poetry. In his prison at Athens, Socrates completed his great argument for immortality; in Roman dungeon Calico made some of his greatest dis coveries. In his prison in Wartburg castle Luther translated the New Test ament into the German language. Dur ing his twelve years in Bedford jail Bunyan dreamed his immortal dream
 of the "Pilgrim's Progress" Sir Wal ter Raleigh wrote the fragmentary history of the world to beguile the long years of his Imprisonment in the Tower of London. Much of the New Testament also is prison literature. Some of the finest of the epistles of St. Paul were written during his i'm prisonment at Rom. and the Book of the Revelation of St. John was writ ten while he was an exile on the island prison of PatInos London Chronicle.

Care of Steering System.

Some owners in inspecting the steer ing system confine their inspection to the steering post, neglecting the other very important parts from the post to the wheels. The steering system from post to wheels should be checked up at least once each month and fabrication should be attended to every day.
 The more attention paid to the steer ing system the longer 1t will give effi- cient service. The joints at the ends of the drag link should be cleaned, adjust ed and packed with clean grease or graphite once every month. The oil cups at the tie rod ends and on the steering knuckle should be filled daily. Every joint in the whole steering sys- tenn should be kept clean and well oiled.
 The post case should be replenished with grease monthly. Often the halves of the case separate a little and then water makes its way to the operating mechanism. A general overhauling of the steering system once every ten months is a good investment This should include a checking up of wheel alignment

Windshield Cleaner That Enables Driver to Have Always . Clear Vision of Road-Loek One of

This is attached to any type of windshield without tools, and doesn't rattle.

Malays Want Our Cars.

The demand for American automo- b!!es has steadily increased, and there is reason to believe that the American car has found permanept place in this market, says the consul for the Straits Settlements and Federated Ma. lay States. The shortage in the supply from Europe at time of prosperity in this country has inevitably resulted in a demand for cars of American man. ufacture. There were many moderate priced cars on sale during the latter part of the year, and the available sup ply cannot fill the demand. Travelling representatives of American cars who have called at Singapore report that their cars have sold out in advance and that sales are only limited by inability to secure shipping space for delivery here, notwithstanding the high freight charges.

Gasoline Master.

This practice of running an automo. bile with the top up when 1t is not needed, Is costly, according to tests which I made, says a contributor to Popular Mechanics Magazine. When the back of the top cannot be rolled up. the resistance is especially great. Six miles more were obtained from a gallon of gasoline with the top rolled and covered, as compared with having the top up with the back closed. When going against wind, this extra pull is heavy, and difficulty in making a hard climb may often be relieved by low ering the top. Using it only when es- sential will be found to be . worth while factor in reducing chs gasoline bill

TROUBLE CAUSED BY FUEL
Matter Which Automobile Owners Should Find lt Easy to Overcome,
 and Avoid Annoyance.

Fuel of low grade and inadequate heating of the fuel mixture rather than a lack of Improvements in car buretors are responsible for many poor conditions. Still, ignition sys- tens of modern cars do occasionally give trouble, and those of older cars bother much more frequently.
 It matters little how badly a motor may miss until it is thoroughly warmed up or until it is known that the insulation of the spark plug ends is perfectly clean. Here the missing should not be attributed to faulty ignition, but to the lack of yaporiza- ton of the gasoline, to uneven dis tribution of the mixture to the cylin- ders or to some similar cause.
 Should missing occur in a thorough ly warm motor, with clean plugs and well-regulated mixture, the fault Is probably really one of ignition. Among the chief causes of skipping" may be mentioned imperfect contact of the points in the breaker box of magneto or the interrupter of bat tery system resulting in failure proper ly to open and close the circuit for each ignition.
 In most cases this is due to the burning of the metal points so that they do not make perfect connection. They should be smoothed of with a file or carborundum stone and the parts so adjusted that the points sep arate as much as the instructions rec ommend-about one-thirty-second inch usually. If the interrupter action is sluggish, on account of its being dirty, 1t may cause skipping.
 Oil or dust in the distributor (the part from which the cables lead to the plugs) often causes missing by permitting the sparks to jump within 1t, instead of at the plugs. Keep the distributor clean and free from oil. Loose connections at the battery, dis tributor and switch, worn-off insula- ton, rundown batteries and cracked spark plug porcelains also cause spark failures.

To Make Dirty Water Clean.

I put soap in every barrel to make 1t clean" So we drank soap suds all the way.-Peter MacQueen in World Outlook.
