FLORIDA POPULAR
WITH MOTORISTS
Not Only for Its Balmy CIi'
mate in Winter, But for
Good Roads.

With billiards and low temperatures
prevailing in the northern states it is
hard to imagine driving along wide
avenues lined with tall palms and tropi-
cal plants still green and in blossom.
A severe winter in the north always
greatly accentuates the annual south
ward migration of motorists. and this
season has been no exception to the
rule. Another reason for the popularity
which Florida now enjoys in the motor
ing world lies in the rapid strides which
have been made during the past year
in the construction of permanent high
ways. An investigation undertaken by
the touring bureau of the American
Automobile Association in the Riggs
building discloses the fact that Florida
now possesses more than 1000 miles of
surfaced roads. over 80 per cent of which
has been constructed during the past
five years. :
Moreover, Florida has confined her
self to the improvement of well travelled

| treme northeastern corner of the state,
and motor continuously with only one
| short break, along a good improved
highway as far as Royal Palm State
| Park, at the extreme southern tip OF

! line of the East Coast all the way
! In former years this section, which in
! cludeS the famous resorts of Ormond

joyed practically a monopoly of tourist
patronage. During the past two ol
three years, however, the central ant
western section of the peninsula ha.

Ford Magnetic Adjustment.

]. E. S. asks: Will adjusting the
magnets of a Ford magnetic closer
to the coils make the engine start
easier? How close should they be set?
Answer: The closer the magnets
and coils run together. the greater
will be the current produced at any
given speed and the lower will be
the cranking speed at which suffi
cient current for ignition purposes
is produced. However. it is not safe
to make the clearance too small and
this is usually correctly adjusted
when cars leave the factory. The
correct clearance between magnets
and coil faces is given as lag inch.
and it is hardly safe to make it less
than this. The magnets should be
fully up to strength in order to in
sure easy starting. A battery of dry
cells, connected to the other side of
the ignition switch. makes rapid
cranking unnecessary at starting, so
far as ignition is concerned.

Winter Care of Tires.

r NJ. asks: In laying up a car for
the winter. is it a proper procedure to
block up the axles, so that the tires
are Off the floor; dry place being
chosen?
Answer: Yes. this is all that it is
necessary to do, the main thing being
to prevent the possibility of the weight
of the car resting for long periods. on
tires that are Debated and the rims
of which might seriously injure the
tubes and castings. Some people think
it advisable to remove the tires, wrap
them in burlap and place them in a dry
cool place, out of direct light, but this
may be going rather far. Still if your
tires or rims are going to require any
attention before the next driving sea-
son. it may be good judgement to re-
move them now, lay them away as above
described, and do the necessary work
on them when next season opens.

in such case? I never carry more
than the regular number of pas
sengers and always drive carefully.
Answer: In the case of new car
such as this. we believe that the man
ufacturers should be willing to make
these springs right and we suggest
that you ask them to furnish you
heavier ones and give you credit for
yours In case you cannot solve your
difficulty in this way, you can have
the additional leaf put into each
spring and we think that you will
find suitable clips upon the market. 1t
is possible that by applying shock
absorbers of the frictional type to
your present springs, you would be
able to limit their action so as to
avoid interference between Tenders
and tires.
