According to Boston advices there
have been recurrent rumors that the
American Sugar Refining Company
would later In the year pay an extra
dividend on it's $45,OOO,0 900 common
stock. II Is declared that while there
can be no question about the ability OF
the company to distribute an lextra,
reasonable doubt exists that It will be
done. 1t is thought that instead OF
giving common stockholders an extra
disbursement it will be the policy OF
the management to conserve resources
and surplus profits with the idea OF
finding auxiliary lines of business pos
sessing greater stability Of net earn
ings than sugar refining.

FACILITATING EASY STARTING


X. d. b. writes: I notice that
most drivers. just before they shut
off the Ignition to stop their motors.
open the throttle widely for an In
slant and let the engine come to rest
with tho throttle open. They claim
that this procedure makes starting
easier. Is this SO?
Answer; It may do so. but we
rather doubt It In the average case.
The theory Is that giving tho cyiin-
ders full charge reduces she pro-
portion Of exhaust gases therein and
leaves them filled with a nearly
pure gasoline mixture. This Is all
true but 1t does not necessarily con-
duce any more to easier starting
than shutting off the motor with
throttle nearly closed. for this rea~
son. What Is needed to make
motor start readily is very rich
mixture left in the cyllnders--a mix
lure so over-rich in fuel that even
after the cooling OF the cylinders
has condensed much of the gasoline.
the charge Is still readily inham-
mabc. The procedure you refer to
doe. not insure such an over-rich
mixture except upon one condition.

viz. That the mixture has PREVIOUS
ly been greatly rchened by cloaing
tho stranger OF the carburetor, for.
instance. with a carbureeor 10 set
that the normal mixture IL over-rich
at open throttle. 1t would probably
help. but most cArburetors ara Ar-s
ranged to give their richest mixture
at very small throttle openings and.
with such carburetors starting n
more greatly facilitated by stopping
the engine on a very low throttle.
Choking the carburetor before al
lowing the motor to stop II the ut
most that can be done to make start
