THE CLEAN MoTOR.

Many a driver who keeps the eX-
terror of his car spotless neElects
his motor. Realizing this, motor
manufacturers are now enclosing
the motors as much as possible so
that the working part may be pro-
tected from dirt and dust. But
every driver does not possess such
a car. and no motor can be entirely
dirt proof.
Keeping the motor clean is neces-
sary to its efficiency. A dirty motor
may be readily cleaned with a stiff
paint brush and a pint of gasoline.
Brush it off thoroughly with the
brush moistened in gasoline and
wipe clean. If a brother motorist
asks To look at the motor. il may
then be displayed without shame.

If so. would they not work best in

Air-coOled engines keep within
the proper working temperatures
as has been shown bv many a non

Of over-coOling both kinds Of en-
gines but the water-cooled engine
runs more danger of freezing.
whereas the air-cooled engine run
habitually at a hotter temperature
than the water-cooled engine. The
water-cooled engine can be over
