BoiIino Radiators.

The number of furiously steamlng
radiators to be noticed, even on the
coolest days, calls attention to the fact
that the average driver Of a motor We
hicle has very vague ideas about oper-
ating his engine-and this Is only one
point in which he is lacking. The pre-
vaiIing error seems to be in running
with full throttle and retarded spark,
sure method of overheating the en-
CINE, and one which would soon result
in disaster If the cooling apparatus
was not extremely efficient. Even as it
is, such practice does the engine no
good. When speed is to be reduced
the first operation is to check the
throttle until there are signs of knock
ing, when the spark may be gradually
retarded. and when increasing speed
the operation is reversed, the spark be-
ing first advanced, followed by opening
the throttle. Many lowly motorcy-
clist, with his air-cooled motor, could
give points to the superior automobilist
on efficient and economical driving.

Tire-changing Tool.

dozen nuts or so, pull off the demount-
able rim and the wounded tire, slip the
good one on its place, screw the nuts
back in place, mount the wounded tire
in the place Of the good one and drive
off with a light heart and back which
was not tired out and temper which
was not frazzled to tatters. But when
it came to removing the wounded tire
from the first designs of these de-
mountable rims the same old trouble
was encountered, it was no child's
play; about the only difference was
that the job was done at home when
one had plenty of time and tools to use
in doing it, 1t was still no fun to take
the old tire off this rim and put new
one on in it's place, or to put it back
after it had been repaired. This is
where the tool shown in the accom-
panying picture came in to help things
considerably. BY means OF 1T, this
clincher type of demountable rim can
be easily and quickly contracted at its
joint so the tire can be slipped off very
readily; it also holds the rim contract,
ed while putting good tire back on

Trains Have No Choice.

'sTrains have no choice of routes
they must run on the rails and their
patrons require that they be on time,
If possible. On the contrary, motor
car drivers can choose their own routes
and the occupants Of such machines
usually are not pressed for time.
4'If automobile drivers would make
1t q habit to associate the sight Of a
grade crossing and its advance notices
with the sight of traffic policeman,
and control their machines accordingly,
grade crossing accidents would cease.
No man is immune to the accidents at
grade crossings which are so frequent
with the constantly growing use Of the
automobile.

Most of Objections to This Type of We

AS result of prolonged experiments
Detroit inventor has developed a

embodies many of the best features
of both gas and steam cars. By
turning a switch and opening the thrOt-
tie the car is started almost instantly.
There are no gears, levers or clutch to
operate, while unlimited flexibility is
afforded. From snail's pace to a
speed of so miles an hour the car is
said to run practically without engine
vibration. There is no noise and moth
ing to watch but the road. So far as
appearance is concerned, the machine
would ordinarily be mistaken for a
gasoline car. Fourteen miles without
replenishing the water supply. The
fuel is vaporized, mixed with air in
carburetor, heated and burned In a
specially-designed combustion cham
Der. A small electric blower supplies
the necessary volume of air while the
ignition is accomplished electrically.
The latter is the striking feature of the
system, for 1t relieves the driver OF
the necessity of giving attention or
labor to the matter Of firing the boiler
In case the car stands inactive for sew
seral days about a minute and half
is required in starting 1t. If, however,
it has merely been idle overnight or
during corresponding period, 1t starts
at once.

HINTS FOR WINTER
EXPERT TELLS MOTORISTS HOW
TO AVOID FROST DAMAGES.
Use Rich Gas Mixture In Starting Mo-
tor on Cold Days-Provide Anti
freezing Solution for the
Radiator.

Every year motorists find them
selves overlooking the fact that Jack
Frost is no respector of persons and
automobiles and that he, will go out
of his way to pay his respects to the
radiator and congealing the water
therein-and in the water jackets Of
the cylinders-caus a pretty repair
bill and deny the owner the use of his
car for a week or more. Pointing out
how owners can get the most service
and pleasure out Of their cars during
the winter months, an expert said:
"The first fall of snow no longer is
viewed with alarm by motorcar own
ers--it no longer Is the signal for
them to put their cars away until
spring. More and more car owners
are coming to realize that in keeping
their cars in dead storage for three
or four months every year they are
carrying an idle investment, besides
doing the car more harm than good.
Disuse breeds depreciation as surely
as does misuse.
"On cold days help your starting
motor by providing rich gas mix
ture. Prime the carburet0r in the
usual way, or, better still, choke the
air inlet. Some cars have this car
buretor adjustment plunger conven-
iently located on dash. Not all of the
gasoline In the rich mixture will reach
the cylinder-much of ftawill condense
on the cold walls of the intake mani
fold. So you will understand why it is
wise to provide as rich mixture at
Isthe carburetor as is possible, and the
careful owner will take this means OF
removing good share of the burden
from his battery.
"Take warning now and provide
yourself with few gallons Of dena-
tured alcohol and when the weather
turns in a decided manner feed a little
into the radiator, thus insuring your
self against damage that surely will
| come otherwise. The proportions de
pend upon the temperature. 1t will
require a 5-per-cent solution of alco-
hol to prevent freezing at 25 degrees,
and a 23-per-cent solution will take
care of the water system down tc
zero. AS low as 10 below, the solution
should be 80 per cent, and if the mer'
curry happens to drop to is degrees
below the percentage will be 30 OF

low will require 40-per-cent solution

Recent Invention That SimpIifies job
Which Is Usually Laborious
Out on the Road.

Until recent years the job of replac-
ing punctured or blown tire while out
on the road somewhere has been
mighty laborious job and one which
has caused good many unkind words
to be spoken into the innocent atmos-
phere. Then the advent of the de-
mountable rim made a big improve
ment in things. With one of these and
properly-inflated tire on it, mounted
somewhere on the rear or the side Of
the car, one did not worry much about
the possibility Of delay from a pune
ture or blowout. If either of them
happened, all that was necessary was
to jack up the wheel, take off half

Made Himself a Brake.

The novice at the auto wheel can
draw courage and confidence from the
experience of Otto Huffman, Phillips
burg (Pa.) butcher. While taking a
trial spin with his new machine, all
went well until Otto tried to work the
brake. Failing to connect with the
right Iever he jumped from the seat,
grabbed the rear wheel and brought
the car to a standstill by main
sfrength.
