Get Ready for Cold Days
With Anti-Freeze Mixture

radiator. One Is to make Q solution OF
washing soda and water, using IS much
of the former as the water will take
Drain the radiator and I'LL with this
mixture, then run the engine for some
little time. II the water from the ra-
diator is very dirty, is rusty, it may be
necessary to give the radiator a Sec
ord treatment. After rinsing with
clean water follow with 25 per cent
solution of the commercial grade of
hydrochloric acid. Flush the radiator
with clean water after using the acid
solution.
Prepared Solutions
1t is a simple matter to determine
when the radiator is clean, as the water
will come away fairly clean. Another
method of removing rust from the sys-
TEN is to dissolve about half pound
of I've in about five gallons of water
Strain the mixture before placing it In
the radiator and run the engine for at
least five minutes. As with the other
preparation, flush thoroughly with
clean water. II one does not care to
bother with soda, acid or lye, he can
obtain a prepared solution, several of
which are marketed. These will clean
the system and are, perhaps, more con-
venient and easier to use than the
mixtures described. Any and all leaks
should be remedied before using any
anti-freezing solution. In conc usion,
the writer suggests that the automo-
bilist take steps to avoid the posi-
bilty of the circulating system freez-
ing. for by so doing large repair bill
will be averted. ..-

Truck
Trains to Fool
Enemy Hawks

A large part of the time SO far de-
voted to special man9uvres by army
motor truck companies has consisted of
experiments in mobile camouhaging.
With enemy airmen concentrating their
energies on attempts to drop bombs on
fleets Of trucks on their way TO the
front, the hiding of the fleets from the
air hawks view BY artificial means
practically insures the regular delivery
of large consignments Of food, ammu-
milton, clothing and supplies to the men
in the trenches.
The men in charge Of the camou-
fage experiments are all seasoned ex-
perts in their particular lines of bust
ness, and merely attached to the motor
truck divisions for highly specialized
work. This staff is composed Of in
terror decorators, artists, photograph
ers, sign painters, designers. lands ,ape
artists, engineers, architects and others
who have made Il success in profess
sions Of this nature.
Great success in this work has been
achieved by Captain X. G.. Martin. in
command of United States Truck Com
PAW No. 81, stationed at Camp Dodge,
Iowa. This train consists of thirty
three White two-ton trucks, which saw
10000 miles of service in Mexico. When
the trucks were not being used for
construction work the camoufaging
experts have covered them with
branches Of trees and foliage to make
them invisible, even at short distance;
paint and canvas have been used freely
in designing false tops to make them
blend into the general landscape; smoke
screens have been experimental with
and numerous other measure tested
with satisfactory results.
Other manGuvres of the truck com
panies have consisted of tests for the
rapid transportation of troops. Ii was
found that an entire company of SOL
diers could be loaced from the ground
with rifles and equipment in fifteen sec
onds. Experiments have also been made
in field manpuvres and trains Of
trucks run IN sections, each section
loaded with men detailed for special
duty, such as the laying of signal lines,
the placing Of explosive charges and
the guarding Of approaches. In every
Instance, Captain Martin says, the
rapid transportation provided by the
trucks proved efficient and satisfactory.

Cotton Is One Thing That
Must Be in an Automobile Tire

Without cotton there would be no
such thing as a pneumatic automobile
tire, for cotton really forms its basis.
The tirebuilder makes UP the Carcass"
on a mould, by building layer upon
layer of fabric, woven from the finest
grades Of cottons that can be grown.
No other material has been found for
tire construction, combining its
strength and economy. So the produc-
ton of tires is in measure dependent
upon the production of cotton.
The latest government crop esti-
mates indicate 1917 cotton yield for
the whole country of so per cent, which
promises total crop Of about 2,00O,-
900 bales, 100000 more than last year,
but 100000 less than three years ago.
The highest announced estimate for
any state was that covering Arizona,
81 per cent. Cotton growing activities
there are confined largely to the big
plantations Of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, near Phoenix and
Mesa. This company is growing the
long-staple Egyptian grade, which has
been found best suited to the manu-
facture of tires.

Speed and Traffic Trap
Near Bergen County Line

An automobiles reports to us the ex-
istence Of trap for motorists on
Anderson Avenue, up near the Bergen
County line in Northern New Jersey.
There is place that motorists have
been accustomed to drive through to
the Hudson County Boulevard, on the
way, say, from Fort Lee turnpike,
where they will find now a piece Of
curbing laid. This ought to be illumi-
mated so that no one can mistake the
road, but it isn't. As soon as an auto
mobilist drives over the curbing a
policeman pops up and serves a sum-
mons. The fine varies.
This automobiles calls attention to
the fact that Anderson Avenue is also
a speed trap and recommends that
motorists drive cautiously In that
neighborhood.
