Any Of these means win raise the
temperature enough to allow vapor-
ization so that the engine will start
Of course, when 1t Is running It pro-
duces heat enough to cause proper
vaporization.
A previous article has dealt with
the cold weather troubles Of the cool
ing system and the necessity for an
anti-freeze solution and for covering
the radiator. With some motors it is
found advisable also to remove the fan
belt, but ordinarily it is much better
to let the fan run and cover as much
Of the radiator as is necessary to
give proper temperature to the engine.
The next problem which the winter
driver must consider Is the electric
system. Presumably the car has an
electric starter. This means that the
battery which supplies current to turn
great deal more care than in the sum-
mer time. This is necessary for sew
eral reasons: First, the battery does
not work SO we'll in cold weather. The
battery does not really store cleo
tricity, it produces it by chemical &C.
tion and chemical action is always
slower at low temperature. Therefore
the battery must be favored.
Batteries Put to Test
Nevertheless greater calls arc made
upon the battery in winter than in
summer. 1t takes a little longer for
the starter to get the engine going
and every second makes a terrific
drain upon the battery. Lights are
burned much longer because of the
snort days and also there are fewer
long drives to give the generator
chance to charge the battery, so that
1T IS In danger of being starved and
Il 1nen suddenly of refusing to function.
me solution is to leave the battery
at service station once a month or
so and have it fully charged. If this
IS not done there is likely to be faulty
ignition, trouble with the lights and
failure to turn over the engine prop
erly in starting. Some generators are
equipped with radiator. the proper
adjustment of which will increase the
amount of current sent into tha hat
terry.
The next most important problem Of
the winter driver is the matter Of
tires. In the average winter in the
clty tne pavements are about as easy
on tires as in the summer, but last
winter there was an undue amourt -
Ice on the streets, which produced a
great deal of slipping and slewine.
with wear on the tires, and there werc
Jagged chunks Of ice and ruts which
ground down the tires at a rapid rate
or cut them to shreds.
1hls is also true on dirt roads In
the country where frozen ruts are
constantly fighting the tires, and
somehow or other the tires always
get licked in that kind Of contest.
Sometimes there are ruts which do not
cut the tires; they are deep enough so
that the side walls of tho tire rub
against the sides of the rut and wear
away the rubber, weakening the walls
and causing them to break down and
blow out.
Chains Wear the Tixes
OF course, no one would think Of
driving in winter without skid chains,

Few Detours Now Necessary
and Opening of the 1921
Touring Season Will See
Many Miles New Concrete

By the opening of the 1921 touring
season there will be new concrete tho
greater part Of the way from New York
to Philadelphia. Tho roads on this
important trunk line continue to inn
prove, and one Of the field men of the
American Automobile Association has
just completed thorough inspection
of the route.
There are no detours through to
New Brunswick. all repair work having
been completed. The only inconven-
fence over that stretch arises from the
congestion of commercial traffic at the
West Forty-second Street ferry and
going through Newark. All holes in
the surface between Metuchen and New
Brunswick have been filled.
The detours remain on the New
Brunswick Trenton section Of the Lin
coin Highway. One acquainted with
these detours and favored with dry
weather may be justified in taking that
route, and thus have the advantage of
the long stretch of faultless new con-
crete the balance of the way through
Franklin Park to Kingston. But the
stranger and any one making the trip
in wet weather should keep to the left
out of New Brunswick, and go through
Dayton. Cranbury and Edinburg to
Trenton.

even. though the car werc equipped
with the most efficient non-skid tires.
Skid chains are very necessary but
they do wear the tires. Some day pos
slbly some one will invent a device to
prevent skidding which will slip on
over the tire, taking all the wear and
keeping the tires themselves free from
wear. But nobody yet has thought
this out, and until it is done the driver
must save his tires by driving care
FULLY, slowly, and turning corners at
reduced speed and keeping off rough
and Icy roadways as much as possible.
Lubrication Of the car is another
important thing in winter driving. It
IS douDly important to screw down all
grease cups and squirt oil into every
o. OIL hole and every working joint, and
1t is necessary to see that the proper
gear shift case and tho differential
case. If too heavy oil or grease is
used 1t makes an unnecessary drag on
the engine, using up several horse
power because of the braking effect.
Because the grease is stiff it is a
good idea to kick out the clutch when
you press the self-svarter pedal to re-
lieve the motor Of its load.
The fabrication of the clutch and
keeping 1t clean is another important
thing in winter, especially if It be a
disk clutch, for the clutch which does
not work freely is nuisance.
A light winter oil should be used
in the crank case in cold weather, its
character being determined by the
manufacturers instruction book, but
it must be changed much more fire.
quently in winter because of the extra
condensation of water and gas which
will thil. the oil, so that it neither lu-
bricatcs nor seals the pistons Oil
which does not circulate freely or have
the proper lubricating qualities will
result in burned-out bearings and
motor in-ficiency. Bearings may be
burned out by friction before the en-
gine becomes warm enough to cause
the oil to circulate frealy.

one-eighth Of all the trucks in use IN
the United States are operated by own
ers who live in this state. and almost
three-fourths of the trucks operated
in New York State are In service in
Gotham.
The foregoing statistics are the re-
suit Of compilations by the Motor
Truck Association Of America and show
that New York City is the most highly
truck-motorized city in the world.
They are of more than usual interest
when considered In connection with the
city's industrial growth and its tower
cities of the world. Since 1877 31,878
per cent Of the total number now oper-
atin9 within the city limits, which fact
cannot but DO regarded as significant
Of the rapid trend toward complete
IA motorization in this country.
Figures obtained from tho local
branch Of the office Of the Secretary Of
State reveal that In 1918 there were
only 42,l22 trucks registered In this
city. while In 1919 the number had
grown to 53,821 and In the present year
to $4,000. In tho state there are now
registered moro than 10000 motor
trucks. an increase of nearly $4,000
over last year and an increase of about
$4,000 since 1913. In 1912 there were
registered In tho state only 1906
trucks.
Gain 10 Amazing
The gain has, therefore, amounted to
nearly 1900 per cent in the last nine
years, q fact which seems to be little
short Of amazing.
Automotive experts foresee 100 per
cent motorized Gotham within the next
ten years, with corresponding elm
ination of all horse-drawn vehicles
from the ccngested thoroughfares Of
the greater city and consequent speed
Ing up Of transportation. which is de-
clared essential to the continued in
dustrial progress Of the city.
With all the sentiment that attaches
to the horse, his day is short as a vital
force in local transportation, and the
figures just cited are regarded as the
best evidence Of this evolution. 1t has
been demonstrated that motor trans
portation Is cheaper, faster, more prac-
ticable and less hazardous to traffic
generally.
Best Market for Trucks
Considered from the truck manufac-
turers' and DEALERS viewpoint, New
York City, by reason of its size and
necessity for moro efficient means Of
transport from year to year. Ia the best
motor truck market in the world
Those trucks now in use are not con-
fined to any one industry, but are en-
ployed in every kind Of wholesale and
retail business from the haulage con-
tractor who moves 71a ton loads down
to the retailer who delivers packages
weighing less than 1000 pounds.
10 ro%}n ~ L., l.
use from 1912 to 1920 continues to hold
1t Is estimated there will be market
for 66,394 trucks in the next nine years,
exclusive of replacements required by
the wearing out of trucks now in use.
But the market and the transportation
industry of New York, big as it is, is
only. one part of the great metropolitan
market which spreads out into Con-
necticut and New Jersey and even into
Penns sylvania, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. In these six states there were

Timely Advice Regarding
Vaporization, Care of the

M6king tho auto "aut" .chsr It ought
TO, regardless Of tho weathor, Is a prob
sem which II. Clifford B7okaw. technical
director Of TIRE West Side Y. NJ. C. A.
Automobile School, treats in tnteresting
fashion IN tho follo1oing article on cold
.osother driulne. His advice 70 IN itself
a timely solution Of tho recurrent hog
ards Of s01ntsr motoring.
Once upon 4 time, as fairy tales be-
gin, 1t was customary to stow the old
boat In the barn when the first snow
flakes appeared and not get it out until
the robins were chirping merrily in
the trees. This may hold true In some
Of the back country districts yet, but
for city driving there seems to be little
difference between summer and winter.
OF course, there is less purely pleas
ure driving, but the automobile has
come to be such a part of the daily
life that the average owner would not
think he could possibly get along with
out it. Even last winter, when the
continued storms and low temperature
made the streets nightmares, fivver and
limousine plowed through drifts and
over the ice mounds and got there,
when streetcar systems failed and traf-
hc generally was in a considerable
tangle.
In these days when streets are sup
posed to be cleaned promptly after a..
snowfall and when suburban main
thoroughfares are in fair condition
twenty-four hours after q storm there
ia no reason why winter driving should
not be the rule rather than the ex-
ception. One must adapt ones self to the
different conditions and learn how to
make the auto "aut" when it ought to.
The first difficulty encountered in
winter driving is starting the motor.
Low grades of gasoline do not vaporize
readily at low temperatures. They may
spray through the needle valve, but
when they hit the cold walls of the
mixing chamber, manifold and the
cylinder. there is a quick condensation,
and liquid gasoline is about as non
inflammable as water. The problem,
may be accomplished in number of
ways. There are number Of devices
sold for warming the carburetor and
intake manifold or keeping them warm
These devices are not too expensive
for the average purse.
Hot Water May Be Used
When the carburctor is water
jacketed 1t is also possible to drain
the cooling system and fill it up with
hot water before starting the engine
and as last resort one may wrap
cloth around the intake manifold, ponr

keep a place free from snow and on
this scatter table crumbs, screenings
