FOR USING CAR
THROUGHOUT WINTER
Timely Suggestions for Those Who
Want to Run Car All Year Long.

With the advent of efficient starting
devices and such comforts as convertible
bodies, tonneau heaters, etc, the all
year-round use of the high-grade motor
car has become an almost universal prac-
tion. At this season a few suggestions
may be in order as to the easiest and
best methods Of assuring the most pleas
ant and effective winter operation.
An ideal warm-weather operation can
be secured by having the power plant
and the surrounding air under the hood
kept warm, as In summer Fortunately
this Is comparatively easy to accomplish,
since the motor is itself constantly gen.
Grating heat.
The use of radiator cover with an ad-
Unstable opening SO as to prevent excess
cooling in extreme weather is recon-
mended. 1t is also well to see that the
carbureter has a hot-air connection to
the intake manifold so that the cold air
Is preheated when going into the carbu-
reter. The newer cars are also provided
with an air-choking device which gives
an over-rich carbureter mixture to aid
In starting and rapidly warming up the
motor.
The bad effects produced on motors in
cold weather on account of low-test gaso-
line, are difficult starting, missing fire.
inefficient running for some time after
tne engine Is started, fouling of spark
plugs and sometimes the presence of
gasonne mixed with the oil In the oil
base on account of condensation in the
cylinders.
On this account extra care should be
taken to see that the oil base is freanently
drained and refilled with fresh OIL In
very cold weather this should be done at
least every 1000 miles. The grade of oil
to use In cold weather is a medium heavy
grade.

CAR
NOW A POSSIBILITY
Demand for Lighter Auto May Soon
Be Realized.

Is the all-aluminum car a possibility
or only a dream of the auto engineer?
The increasing demand for a lighter
car has suggested so many new parts
that can be made of the light, silver
coiored metal that one of the main
topics of discussion among engineers
at the New York show last week was
the possibilities of aluminium construc-
tion.
Ignite pistons are already used by
the sStudebaker, Premier. White, Chal-
mers. Chevrolet. Cole, Haynes. Mercer.
Marmon. Olds, and several others.
Ignite is the name of a group of
aluminium alloys. Automobile engi-
neers say IL 1t were not for the slightly
higher cost of these light pistons their
use by automobile manufacturers
would be practically universal.
Engineers are now tightening their
cars by using Ignite for crank cases.
oil pans, Transmission cases and COW
ers, differential housings, clutch cones
and covers, pistons. steering wheel
spiders, footboards, mud guards, hub
caps, bearing caps, intake manifolds,
cowls. bonnet strips. pump housings,
carbureters, gear-box covers, fan
wheels, hand-hold plates, starting de-
vice brackets, instrument boards, ra-
diator frames. hood lodges, steering
gear cases and covers, tire holders, ian
brackets, running boards, switch boxes
and covers, floor boards. and radiator
tanks.
Tightening the car will thus mean a
saving of many dollars to the motorist
in tires and in the general pounding
to pieces of his car. For instance, in
the modern high-speed engine there
are about 5000 crank-shaft revolu-
tions a minute, which means 5000
starts and 5000 stops a minute for
every piston

lating system simply add either dena-
tured or wood alcohol to the water. In
order to make solution that viii not
freeze up to- 10 degrees below zero. re-
move two gallons Of water from the cir
cuiating system and replace 1t will two
gallons of alcohol.
1t must. of course, be borne In mind
that the alcohol evaporates somewhat
more rapidly than the water, so that in
order to keep the solution at its original
strength 1t Is desirable when refillins
during winter weather to use half water
and half gasoline.
Lubricants throughout the car will. of
course, all be somewhat thicker In cold
weather, but II the usual care is talon
10 see that the various parts are properly
fabricated no trouble will be experiences
on this point.
Brakes and Steering Gear.
The only other mechanical features re-
quiring special attention are the brakes
and the steering gear. which should De
checked over carefully. since these Inn
portant parts are called upon for severe
service during the rough winter goins.
The possibility Of breaks freezing tight
after hard ride in heavy slush going
must be borne in mind.
The ordinary precautions for satisfac-
tory tire service also demand special
attention in cold weather. Water Will
work into small holes or cuts and. freez-
ing, rapidly split them, increasing their
size to a dangerous degree. All small
holes should therefore be carefully
plugged up to obtain maximum tire
service.
Tires different in size on one side
from those on the other should be avoid
ed, especially In the rear, SO as to pre-
vent unusual action of the differential
and chains should not be used on one
side and not on the ether. Running
with chains on an ordinary asphalt pave
ment should be avoided because of the
vibration produced throughout the
chassis.
Snow and icy mud should be cleaned
off at the very first possible opportunity
and exposed metallic parts kept as dry
as possible to prevent rusting.
