hour To crank these cool
u mornings7
Here In "A hunch that will
~ save you much exercise
and considerable time. for this dis.
tillate they are selling for gasoline
these days was never meant to cx.
plode In cold engine. Go TO n drug
store. a paint shop. anywhere that
will sell you quart OF aeroplane
gasoline. In the morning, unscrcw
three OF your fllvver'n spark plugs
and pour In n teaspoonfui OF this
high grade gas I'm each cylinder,
screw back tho plugs. connect the
wires. turn her over three times. and
there you arei Only be sure To keep
her going once she gets started.
With socket wrench that FITS the
spark plugs you can do this little
chore IN half tho time you can get
tho engine started any other way
that I know about and IL always
workA
if you aFe more Injurious and
have . SELF starter. you will soon dis
cover that your battery In 10 run
down u win not turn your engine
over. because you do not run enough
In the winter TO store up surplus en-.
crsy In your battery for tho hard
chorc OF starting a cold engine with
low grade gas.
Probably you win have pct
cocks on your cylinders. u you have
big auto. Pour a spoonful OF high.
A.. aFxs
you start the morning Job. and your
battery will thank you. and you
won't have tho unpleasant experience
OF having To crank n heavy rix or
eigh, by hand for an hour some cold
morning.
And II your engine does not have
printing caps. there are spark plugs
that arc arranged 80 you can prime
the cngine--put In SGT and save
much grief.
Unless the carburcsor and engine
makers speedily develop equipment
10 handle this low grade stuff wo are
now getting. tho wise motoris, who
uses his car every day and who
wants to 10 on time. will have two
| tanks Installed. with handy cnt-out
for each tank on the dash. ono small
tank with high grade Eas. n big tank
with the other. Full ten minutes be-
fore you get home. shut off the biz
tank and u-r from the small ono.
That leaves your carburctor full Of
real expiosiv. for next morning.
when you get the engine warmed up
in tho morning. shut off the small
tank. turn on IN. big one. and 70
your way In peace and serenity.
Years ago I used this scheme on .
mosorboat and burned low grad. dis,
tiiiate in a four.cycie single cylinder
engine without bit OF trouble. Trac
tors that use coal oil for fuel have
tho naxne system. ana I, works The
autoist VII have 20 com. 20 II with.

iiy humps i,scif more than Il ha. In
meeting tho low grade gas situation.
Another little trick for fivv~rs.
and all cars that hav. a combined
dry cell and magnetic. or dry cell and
storage system. 10 10 have strong.
fresh dry cells In your battery boz.
and use these when your storage bat
tory gets low. Most drivers who
hav. such equipment never keep
their dry cells up 20 strength. re-
new them every six months. oftsnrr
II they arc much In use. and 60 be
sure they are up to strength put ar

An auto that ought To but won't n
an abomination.
