Spjnnjno Clutches.

On cars which have been in opera tion for some time the driver often finds that gear changing cannot be ac- complished without noise. The gears do not mesh easily and it not only Is annoying, but sometimes difficult for the car to be driven properly. Harsh gear changing usually is due to spin ming clutch, but sometimes to defect In the gearset. The latter may have one or more shafts out of alignment. due either to distortion of the shaft itself or to a poor bearing.
 When a cone clutch spins, that Is, when it continues to rotate for some time after being disengaged, the trouble may be remedied by adjust ment in many cases. Roughness of the leather may be the cause. A thin coat ing of neatsfoot oil or dressing with fuller's earth usually stops the trouble. In a disk clutch running in oil, thinner oil sometimes helps. It usually is a sign of gummed disks when the trouble occurs in dry disk clutch.

NO NEED FOR MUCH NOISE
Away With Complaint That 10 Often We'll Founded.

The unavoidable noises of traffic are certainly all that the nerves of the public ought to be called upon to withstand and every motorcar opera tor ought to do his bit' to prevent their unnecessary increase by driving his car as QIietly as possible. Undue noise almost always means waste of power and uncalled for wear and tear and, for this reason also, it should be avoided. The following are a few hints which. If followed, will tend to secure quietness of operation: Start the engine on nearly closed throttle. Most carburetors are designed to give richer mixture at small than at large openings and the engine thus starts easier and more easily. After it is started. don't sit and race 1t 10 see if it is going to keep running. Have some means for temporarily richening the mixture and use 1t at starting. This will insure reliable running at low throttle, even under cold conditions.
 When starting the car from rest, don't race the motor excessively before engaging the clutch and don't let in the clutch suddenly. On the level going there is no need of high motor speed i; and the noise that accompanies 1t. When changing from the lower to the higher gears, at starting, don't speed the motor too much before mak- ing a shift. Except on up grades, this is not necessary and, with modern, multiple-cylinder motors, speeding of the engine is hardly necessary at all. Don't try to accelerate the car too rap idly. The time you could save by 1t would be too small to figure and these .'dashing getaways are very noisy.
 Learn to change speeds without clashing the gears, their grinding Is a most distressing sound and every self respecting motorist ought to be will ing to learn to shift speeds quietly. Keep the hand throttle set so low that the motor cannot race when the clutch Is thrown out. When idling the en- zine run 1t at Its lowest practicable speed. Last, but also important, if your car happens to be fitted with that generally abandoned delusion-the muffier cutout-never open 1t.

IN ZERO WEATHER
METHODS OF GUARDING AGAINST
 FREEING OF WATER.
Means of Doing Away With Annoy ance That Even Most Skillful Mo- torist Will Experience-Don't
 Use Calcium Chloride.

'It was only a few weeks ago urged all motorists to prepare their cars for the advent of zero weather" said member of leading auto con cern. and I gave specific directions for the preparation of an antifreeze mixture that would guard against the freezing of the water in the cooling system.
 Tt is not always the man who has his first machine that is caught nap ping. Experienced motorists are not infallible, and it is that class of own CTS who never cross q bridge until they come to it that bring business to the concerns which repair radiators and supply parts.
 "While the most easily prepared so- lution is, perhaps, the calcium chloride, mixture to use. A number of cars have recently been brought into the service station for repairs which. upon inves- tigatiOn, showed that calcium chloride had apparently been used in the radia- tor. Unless one can secure the chem ically pure form. calcium chloride is q dangerous solution. The commercial calcium chloride, commonly sold for an antifreeZe mixture, is injurious be- cause of the action on the compOnents of the cooling system. Such alkaline solutions are productive of an cleo trical action wherever two dissimilar metals are utilized, such as the brass tubing of a radiator and the solder used at the joints, the iron water jack cts and the brass or copper plates. In addition to damaging the radiator, the use of calcium chloride may work havoc with the cylinders, the pump and the inlet and ou~>ct water pipes. The owner usually ha. to buy a new radiator before he can put his car into service again.
 "A summary of the opinions of mo- torcar manufacturers as to the value of various antifreeze solutions shows decided preference for denatured al cohOl- The proportions for the use of alcohol depend upon the temperature. It will require 5 per cent solution to prevent freezing at 2 degrees, and g per cent solution will take care of the water system down to zero. As low as 10 degrees below the solution should be 30 per cent, and If the mer- cury happens to drop to 15 degrees below will require a 10 per cent solu- tion.
 "Alcohol has one undesirable fea- lure, however, and that is its evapora- ting proclivities. But if you will take the trouble to add a small amount of giycerin to the alcohol as you prepare 1t for the radiator, you will greatly re- duce the evaporation rate. Regarding the glycerin, the unbleached variety, which may be procured at any drug store, is cheapest and best"

BEES MAKE HIVE OF HOUSE
-Four Swarms Removed From Building When a Fifth Arrives at Iowa
 Home.

Four swarms of wild bees recently nave removed from the two-story house Df Earl Bergman on the East side of Rockwell City, the Cedar Rapids Qa.) Gazette says. Three of them were To- cated under the shingles on three cor ners of the building and one was back of the weather boarding near the caves on the south side of it. About three bushels of combs were removed, but the amount of white comb honey was not nearly so great as the fine yield this year from good hives in the neigh borhood.
 A fifth swarm arrived and endeav- pred to gain an entrance to the build ing at the caves on the south side. Failing to find suitable opening, this swarm clustered within and around a four-inch drain tile lying in the grass near the building.

Kerosene as Motor Fuel.

The attempt of Alfred Gohn to drive an ordinary automobile from Warren to New York with common kerosene as the motor power, was successful under adverse circumstances. He en- countered weather which made the go- ing hard, and even froze his radiator, but in spite of this he made an aver age of 20 miles to the gallon. NOT was this kerosene specially prepared for the purpose, but was purchased at the stores on the route as the driver needed it. If the experiment to use kerosene in place of gasoline should prove a success, 1t will be of great value to the oil industry, since the re- liners have been handicapped for sev- eral years by the accumulation of stocks of Illuminating oil on their hands.-Oil City Derrick.

Asks Addition to State House.

Phoenix.-That the dignity of Ari- zona requires a completed capitol building is the belief of Senator Ruth erford. who introduced bill appro- priating $200.0oO for carrying out the original plans of the capitol building. It is not proposed to do the work at the expense of the taxpayers, but to turn back into the treasury the amount of the appropriation from the sale of lands granted to the state. The bill creates a Capitol Commission.

Wire Wheels Popular.

One of the most interesting develop. ments of the last year in connection with automobile building is the wire wheel. More than 5000 GETS equipped with wire wheels, have started their careers this season. It Is predicted that 1ei7 will see fully 100000 new cars equipped with wire wheels. The detachable rim has become decidedly popular with the wire wheel manu lecturers. all of whom are using it ex tensiyely.
