You are too busy in the line Of work
which you have chosen to follow toAlook up
n this oft discussed question. But we make
4 such things our sole business, and hence
can tell you.
It is due to two or three reasons but
chiefly to the far greater percentage Of OK
ygen in the air when it is cool. Oxygen is
one OF the important elements in the air,
and is absolutely necessary to combustion
OF all sorts. We're it not for oxygen. man
would very quickly cease to live Your
bodily warmth varies directly with the
amount OF oxygen you breath. For instance
note the ease with which you chill in a
slight draught, when sitting in poorly ven
tlfated althO fairly warm room, and the
contrasting sense of warmth you feel when
walking briskly in cold, fresh outside air,
with the necessarily quicker breathing. This
is due to the larger supply of oxygen en-
terlng your blood through the lungs
An automobile engine is like a human
Delng, IN that it must draw in oxygen in or
der to Tive" 1t gets more of this valuable
element at night, because oxygen expands
IN warmth and contracts in cold Hence
there IS more of it per cubic foot at night
land the cooler the better) than in the day
time when the suns rays expand it. The
strata Of oxygenated air above the surface
OF the earth, is higher in day time by many
hundreds OF feet than at night, and is there
fore weaker. Moisture also has its value in
the Internal combustion motor Steam ia
the most effective remover of carbon now
known of. But the trick is to apply If with
out marring the smooth cadence of the mo-
tor performance. However the water which
makes up what is termed moisture, con-
talns hydrogen, which has very lively ex-
plos1ve qualities when mixed with oxygen
Night air is very moist and hence this ell
ement has something, aIthO not much to do
with the coltishness of your motor at night
The point to remember is that there is a
great deal more oxygen in night air than in
day air, because oxygen expands in warmth
and contracts when cool; therefore a great
rer amount OF it passes through the carbur-
.eIor at night, and burns the gasoline more
. thoroly Economical people should motor
only between sunset and sunrise
