COLD WEATHER ENGINE CARE.
Safest Plan to Drain Water From Al
Parts Of System When Car 10
Left for Night.

IF q water-cooled engine Is not care
fully guarded in cold weather and the
water is allowed to freeze, pipes or ra'
diators will break or a water jacket
will crack. To prevent such damage,
the safest plan is to drain the water
from all parts of the system when the
car is left for the night or for long
time during the day. The engine may
then be allowed to run few minutes
to make sure that all the water has
been removed. If the car is used a
great deal in cold weather it may be
advisable to use a nonfreezing solu-
ton. A mixture containing 20 per
cent Of denatured alcohol will freeze
at ten degrees above zero; 80 per cent
solution will freeze at five below zero /;
40 per cent at 20 below, and 30 per
cent at IS below.

Millions are now suffering from the
after effects of the deadly 'fu,"

If these people could only realize

Ing the acidity and toxic poisons from
the entire digestive tract, making 1t

poisonous after-effects right out Of the

A motortruck expert recently made
the statement that every truck with
capacity Of two tons, put into short
haul freight service, saves six tons or
more of steel for reconstruction work.
Figures Prove Assertion.
And he submits some figures to
prove it. The average freight car
mileage, he asserts, is only 20 miles
per day, carrying an average load OF
40 tons. Therefore, the daily aver
age per car is 800 ton miles.
Against this two-ton truck oper-
ated efficiently will average 200 ton
miles. It follows from this that four
two-ton trucks will have daily car
rying capacity Of one freight car. But
1t takes only ton and half of steel
to build the truck, and 25 tons to
build a freight car. Therefore, the
four two-ton trucks will save 20 tons
Of steel. This equals five tons to each

GUARD AGAINST
LOOSE P|STONS
Suggested to Prevent Undue En-
trance of Cylinder Oil Into
Combustion Space.
CAUTION REGARDING RINGS
Modern Engines Are Carefully Safe.
guarded Against Loss of OH by
Leakaae-Watch for Drippings
and Stop Escape.

Well-ftted pistons and accurately
adjusted piston rings are the only eff
fective insurance against the undue
entrance of cylinder oil into the COM
bustion spaces Of the cylinders and its
loss unused, through the exhaust, says
one motor authority. The waste OF
oil is perhaps the least of the evils
occasioned by loose pistons and rings.
It should be remembered that every
engine which shows an Oil exhaust,
when in normal operation, Is an coil
waster."
Caution Regarding Piston Rings.
Not only should the piston rings be
well fitted, but it has been found that
specially formed scraper rings, which
return excess oil from cylinder walls to
the crank case through holes drilled
in the pistons, are Of value. In engines
fitted with certain forms Of lubricating
systems, 1t is possible to over-oil the
cylinders very greatly II the oil supply
Is carried too high, and this should be
carefully avoided.
Modern engines are carefully safe
guarded against loss Of oil by leakage
from the crank case throw-off rings,
catch-pockets and return passages be-
ing provided at the shaft ends, but
there is still a possibility Of waste, If
there is any defect In any gasket used
in the joints of the crank-case Sec
lions. Old engines frequently leak
badly and all possible measures should
be taken to prevent It.
Waste Of Lubricant.
There is an immense waste Of lubri-
cant occasioned by filling transmission
and rear axle housings too full, as the
oil works out along the shafts, despite
such devices as felt washers. This
evil has largely been forestalled In
modern cars by locating the mouth OF
the filling opening at the required oil
level So that the housing cannot, by
any possibility, be filed above the
proper point.
Old cars are provided with no such
automatic oil level device and the best
the owner can do is to find out, from
the instruction book Of experience,
what height of lubricant Is ample for
safe fabrication and never greatly to
exceed this. OF course great waste
Of oil and grease may be occasioned
by the use Of too thin lubricants, espe'
cially in hot weather.
