SP|REx RADIATOR IS
WINTER SlFEcUARD
New Equipment for Fords Said
: to Do Away With Freezing
Troubles and to Do Better
Cooling in Summer.

A frozen motor is undoubtedly the
most trying of experiences in winter
time, inovlving loss of car while re-
time. involving loss Of car while re-
expense. Having these things in mind,
the manufacturers or the Spircx radia-
tor for Ford cars were prompted to
produce remedy for the ills of winter,
with Its low temperature, and at
the same time a radiator that would
have a greater cooling capacity than
the ordinary radiator in summer. Thus
the Spirex was evolved, and, accord
ing to A. ID. McMullen, president of the
Motor Mercantile company of Salt
Lake, it is the logical answer to the
modern radiator problem.
AS explained by Mr.. McMullen, Spi-
rex water channels are flexible, so that
when frozen they expand. This is due
to the special construction of the tanks
and water channels. Metal, of course,
contracts under low pressure, and it
was by working against this principle
that the Spirex people solved the prob
lem and devised their process.
Mr.. McMullen expressed the opin-
ion that all Ford owners living in this
climate should have Spirex on their
machines as safeguard against
freezing troubles in winter. Further
more, he states, the cooling capacity
OF the Spirex is increased about AZ per
cent, which is due to the extra large
water channels, permitting a free flow
of water and allowing the maximum
amount of air to enter and take off
the heat from the water. He stated
that the Spirex is very substantial and
lasting.

SHORT LIFE IS NOT

Owner Can Enjoy Long Service
From Battery if He Gives It
Real and Unfailing Care,
Says Mr.. Oakley.

Every once in a WHILE" says w. A.
Oakley, manager of the local EXide
service station, you'll see an ad or
read some article about a starting and
lighting battery to whose life there
Just doesn't seem to be any limit. And
Immediately after the appearance of
any such publicity l am literally
drowned by deluge of questions from
my customers wanting to know why
they can't get some such everlasting
service from their batteries.
"As a matter of fact, | don't know
why they cant--if they will really give
their batteries honest and unfailing
care. This stuff about a short life
and a merry one, that the pessimistic
motorist is forever pulling about his
battery, is mostly bunk. Starting and
lighting batteries will live and do their
work whole lot. longer than most
people think If, as l said before,
they're given a fair chance. I've got
"a bunch of letters in my office now
reprints of originals sent to the home
office--testimonials from all sorts of
people from all parts of the country in
which Exide batteries that have been
giving bang-up performance anywhere
from three to six years are mentioned.
OF course, no firm can guarantee any
thing like that, any more than the
scotsman can guarantee his seeds com
ing up--results are SO markedly de-
pendent on the user and the local con-
ditions. But l will say that anyone
who buys an Exide battery, and backs
that battery up with faithful using
of Exide service, is surely going, to get
his moneys worth-and then some,

SERVICE ESSENTIAL
ON LONG JOURNEYS
Ability to Get Quick Aid Far
From Home Appreciated by
Oakland Owners, Manager
Goodwin Says.

Not only does service play an i'm
portant part in the sales of automobiles
these days, but the distribution of that
service as well. A few years ago a
drive across the continent or even
across several states, was regarded as
an immense undertaking. Nowadays
long drives for thousands of miles are
nothing out of the ordinary.
In the days when the owner never
ventured far from his home town his
local service station filled all his needs
In these present days of long trips
hundreds and thousands of miles from
home distribution of service becomes
an important factor in the success and
enjoyment of the trip.
No owner wished to get caught miles
from home with broken part and be
forced to wait days and even weeks for
an independent garage owner to secure
that part from factory several states
away.
Oakland owners are assured quick
service in practically every town of any
size in the country, points out Man
ager G. O. Goodwin of the Sharman
Automobile company, distributors for
Oakland cars. Oakland dealers in a
great majority of cases carry a COM
plete line of parts. 1t will not be long
before every Oakland dealer carries a
complete stock.
Therefore, the Oakland owner may
roam at will without the fear of be-
ing laid UP any great length of time for
repairs. In the first place the Oakland
requires few repairs if properly cared
for and in the second place if repairs
are need there is a dealer close at hand
who is prepared to do the job quickly.

STEEL CHANNELS FOR
TRUCK TRACKS MIGHT
EVEN BE ECONOMICAL

Steel channel tracks for use on high
ways have been suggested by one of
the large steel companies. Not only
that, but they have actually been de-
signed and are being manufactured.
The good results that may obtain
from such an arrangement are obvi-
out. 1t is said that they will permit
an enormous increase in the weight OF
loads and the size of motor trucks.
The web of the track is "knurled,"
which means il Is made up OF Sc
ries of corrugatins of sufficient depth
to insure the wearing of entire sur
face uniformly and to prevent the dam
ger of slipping and sliding on grades
Anchors are embedded at intervals in
concrete and these are connected by
the rails. The cost of the track per
mile is $4,000. Sections will soon be
tried out on one Of the Connecticut
hipbwaVs
