when John MacLean, Of Argusville,
driver Of the car, was attempting
to pass another machine on the

swinging directly into his path and
forcing him off the highway, the

only the early arrival Of help saved
the life Of Mrs. Pennick, who was
caught in such q manner that she
was bearing a tremendous portion
Of the cars weight on her chest.
Only Miss MacLean was ably to
free herself from the wreckage with
out aid, and she was just emerging
from underneath the car when the
members of a Northern Pacific
train crew. witnesses OF the accident,
and another automobile party. reach
ed the scene.
It required the combined effort Of
several men to remove thes heavy
machine and free the victims.
Mrs. Pennick was found between
the Windshield and the steering
device and was unconscious when
removed.
Miss McTaggart was pinned under
the side Of the car, one Of the car
doors holding her in such position
that she was unable to move.
Mr.. MacLean was pinned down by
the steering wheel which rested on
his shoulder and back of his neck.
From his cramped position, Mac
Lean was able to reach the ign.Scn

II the circulation Is not all right, then
an attempt must be made to find out
what the trouble is. In a thermo-
syphon system the only thing that can
possibly prevent circulation is an OBJ
struction in the radiator or the engine
side of the water system. The simple
draining OF the radiator will tell one,
by watching the rate of flow from
the drain. whether there Is an OBJ
struction in It. II there is no drain in
the engine part of the system. then
that cannot be tested In the same
way. II the radiator is obstructed It
may be caused by an accumulation OF
mud in the lower tank or in the small
openings in the core. A radiator re-
pair station should have the Job.
Often air under pressure forced
through clears the passages. but the
trouble may occur Immediately after
unless the system is thoroughly
cleaned. This brings up the impor-
tance Of having the whole cooling
system gone over at the very begin
ming OF the touring season. so there
will not be trouble later. incidentally
it might be mentioned that the aver
age owner cares very little about the
kind Of water he uses and whether or
not 1t is clean. A little dirt poured in
each time soon brings about a de-
structive accumulation in the radiator
tanks and a clogging up of the system
results. Operation of the engine with
impeded circulation will not be at its
best because 1t will run generally a
little hotter.

syphon cannot cool efficiently unless

the great out-of-doors for the recre-

And in his new surroundings he re-

The business man OF 1918 will need
even more of just that sort of thing
than the men of 1912. because they
are doing double work and are driv-
ing ahead with greater speed than
ever before.
THE men of 1872 didn't jump on the
train simply for the ride-for the
pleasure of spinning along over steel
rails; and the men of 1918 aren't using
their automobiles for pleasure, either.
While it is true that they might ride
out into the open country frequently,
still they are doing it you will find

that must be done to win the war.
That's what 1 mean by a semi

'CARELESSNESS CAUSE
OF IGNITION TROUBLE
Starting and Lighting System Will

Chance.

The starting and lighting system of
our present4day cars Is highly de-
yeloped and Is practically free from
inherent defects. Trouble is directly
attributable in the majority Of cases
to carelessness or lack Of information
Of the functions Of the various parts
Of the system, says a writer in Motor.
The storage battery is the weakest
point Of the system In. that It require.
the most attention. but even 1t, II
given half a chance. will do all that
can be reasonably expected Of It.
Two OF my friends in the early fall
were discussing the advisabllity Of at
taching some form OF priming device
to insure easy starting. One had de-
cided to use q certain well Advertised
primer. while the other concluded he
would not as his motor was "aiways'
right.
When their cars were put up for the
balance Of the winter the batteries
were removed and had an opportu-
nifty to observe that the battery Of the
fellow who did not use q primer indi-
Gated advanced sulphation while the
other battery was In excellent condi-
-tion.
The cause Of this state Of affairs
was plain. A motor with the oil on all
lubricated parts CONCEALED requires a
great deal more power to turn it over
and the low quality OF the mixture
from a cold carbureter calls for a
greater amount OF spinning which two
conditions overtax the battery.
A good printing device. and there are
several on the market, by insuring a
rich starting mixture would call for a
minimum amount Of motor spinning
and thus greatly lessen the drain on
the battery.
Then. also. the lights are used to a
much greater extent in the winter,
thus depriving the battery Of much
needed charging current.
Often opportunities present them
selves. especially in city driving, to
run with dinned lights, and this ex-
pedlent for saving current should be
resorted to in the winter months.
Probably the greatest source OF
from not keeping the plates covered
by the addition Of pure distilled water
The addition Of water should be made
about once a fortnight during the open
season. but it IL 80 easy to overlook
the matter that I have mounted a
small piece of unglazed white celluloid
on the dash with the months printed
thereon in a vertical column and oppo-
site these mark the day Of the month

are Of long standing in most cases.
OF course. II the engine IL permitted

are separated by a film OF oil will rub

II the owner could see the actual

actly the same results as running on
retarded spark. The flame still burn
ing when It should not, comes in con-
tact with q large wall area That
means excessive heating. At the same
time the poor mixtures does not give
the same power that a good mixture

uting cause OF overheating. With
modern carbureters Il IL an easy
matter to get the mixture right be-
