LABOR STRONG
 IN CALIFORNIA
Organization of Unions Is Re- ported From All Parts of
 the State.
LEADERS ARE WELL PLEASED
Membership Is Now the Largest in the History of the Movement in the State-Labor News From
 All Parts of the Country.

Organization of labor unions in va rious parts of California has been go- ing on rapidly in the last few months, according to William T. Bonsor, vice president of the San Francisco Labor council, and other labor leaders, this movement having been particularly strong in southern California, in the cities around San Francisco bay and the two great interior valleys of the state, and in the extreme northern part of the state that has been re- gently opened up by railroad, and made active by the establishment off a large shipbuilding industry.
 The membership in labor unions in California is now 7S000. the largest in the history of the labor movement, the approximate increase in the last year having been 5000. There are 507 unions affiliated with the State Fed eration of Labor, 42 of these having joined the federation during the last fiscal year. Organization of the metal trades workers has been particularly active in all parts of the state where this industry is carried on.

CARE OF MOTOR
 DURING WINTER
It Is Equally Sensitive to Cold as Human Organism and Needs
 Extra Covering.
RADIATOR COVER IS USEFUL
It Is We'll to See That Carburetor Has Hot Air Connection to Intake ManifoId-Gasoline Sometimes
 of Poor Quality.

With the advent of efficient start ing devices and such comforts as con- vertible bodies. tonneau heaters, etc, the all-year-round use of the high grade motorcar has become almost uni versaI. A few suggestions may be in order.
 The automobile motor, equally as sensitive to the cold as the human organism, should have extra covering in cold weather. An ideal warm weather operation can be secured by having the power plant and the sur rounding air under the hood kept warm. as i'll summer. Fortunately this is comparatively easy to accom- plish, since the motor itself is con stantly generating heat. It is we'll to use q radiator cover with an adjusta- ble opening so as to prevent excess cooling in extreme weather. It is also we'll to see that the earbureter has a hot air connection to the intake manifold so that the cold air is pre- heated when going into the carbure- tor. The newer cars are also provided with an air-choking device which gives an over-rich carburetOr mixture to aid in starting and rapidly warming up the motor.
 How Motor Is Affected.
 In some localities the gasoline con- monly offered for distribution is of poorer quality than in others, but it Is now almost always possible to ob- tain higher test gasoline, which, generally speaking, will prove more efficient in cold weather than a low test.
 In this connection bear in mind, however, that high-test gasoline does not necessarily mean better gasoline. In some cases very light grade of fluid known as Casing Head Gaso- line" Is used, which has such low boiling point that 1t cannot be han dled in an ordinary carburetor, and 1t should be avoided.
 The bad effects produced on motors in cold weather on account of low test gasoline are difficult starting. missing fire, inefficient running for some time aftef the engine is started, fouling of spark plugs and sometimes the presence of gasoline mixed with the oil in the base on account of con- densation in the cylinders. On this ac- count extra care should be taken to see that the oil base is frequently drained and refilled with fresh oil. In very cold weather this should be done at least every 1000 miles. The oil to

 My job was to truck supplies from a divisional warehouse to the huts and dugouts in our area. Many a time have gone back from the front to find that the warehouse had been scraped clean.

 Many a time I've trucked up to Paris and back again. and twice went all the way to a debarkation port--a two days trip-to produce the goods for the boys.

Alcohol Is Best.

To prevent freezing the water-cir- culating system experts recommend simply the addition of either dena- tured or wood alcohol to the water In order to make a solution which will not freeze up to ten degrees be low zero, remove two gallons of water from the circulating system and re- place it with two gallons of alcohol.
 It must, of course, be borne in mind that alcohol evaporates somewhat more rapidly than the water, so that in order to keep the solution at its Ori. ginal strength it Is desirable when refflling during winter weather to use half water and half alcohol.
