Three Traffic Tricks

Getting past a street car that

a matter of Skill than engine power.
A lot of cars which ought to be able

because their drivers do not know
row to get the "pick- up" out of
them. The whole secret lies in the
ability of the driver to shift into

the street car will get away from
him while he is trying to shift to

about three miles an hour, and ad-

machine will get away like light

The Importance of anti-freeze solu-

It is mistaken impression on the

Any freeze preventative solutions
which may be put into the cooling sys-

prevent the qualification of the liquid
in the cooling system and do not in

therein. The ingredients of anti

be known to owners before they
are used as there are on the
market some of these anti-freeze
substances which are extremely
harmful to the radiator and cooling

If alcohol is used care should be taken
not to light matches about the open

The Old Mechanic Says:

"When an engine starts smoking
bsdly through the breather tube it
doesn't necessarily mean that the
pistons are leaking compression. The
fact that lot of new cars will smoke
after they have been run about a
thousand miles proves this. The
| driver will also find that the smok-
ing from under the hood is worse
when he is driving slowly uphill in
high even when the throttle is
pretty well closed. If the smoking
isn't due to leaking piston rings it
stands to reason that the oil is to
blame. The chances are ten to one
that the driver will find his oil has
become very thin. Pressure Of the
bearings on this thin oil. particularly
during slow hill climbing. burns it off
and turns it to smoke. Whenever
enc of my customers complains Of a
smoking crankcase always look
/ fist to the oil. It's usually to blame.
These piston slaps motorists
orry about are more annoying than
dangerous. A piston slap may be
due to a badly worn cylinder, then
AGAIN it may simply be due to a
| slight msalignment of connecting
! rod or the piston itself. If the trou
bic is serious there'll be other things
! TO prove it: such 8 low compression
| in the guilty cylinder; excessive con-
sumption of oil and loss of power.
Tut where the slap is due simply to
some slight misalignment there are
usually no companion troubles, nor
-, are there likely to he any.
! 81 know of one case where a
! chronic piston slap caused by whip
| PINK crank shaft has been with a
| motor through twenty thousand
| miles. The motor is still as power
| ful and as economical as when new.
OF course the slap is annoying. but
I: here's point: riston slap can
often be deadened By feeding gas SO
a. to keep the car above or below
! the speed at which it is most pro-
nounced. N slap is usually worse
when the piston travels free: that
*. when the momentum of the car is
Carrying along the engine. The best
! way is to keep the engine pulling
when it is driving the car. and coast
when the car has enough momentum
TO keep it rolling

pictured it if only a right or a left

their motors set in the chassis on a

Tip Against Trouble

Motorists with motometers and
nickeled bars that lock to the radia-
tor should be careful not to turn the
bars while the hood is raised. AS
these devices can only be turned one
way the motorist may find a bar and
the hood in a tangle He will have
to remove the whole hood so as to
allow the motometer to be turned
cut of the way again.
Judging from the difficulty most
people experience taking cars apart
quantity production is certainly the
miracle Of the modern motor car
factory.

church in Dallas on Wednesday even
ing, April rs. Rev. George w. Truett,

past two years. Prior to that she
was member of the choir of the
CASTOR avenue Baptist church. Mr..
Adams is a well known insurance
man of Dallas. Owing to the illness
of the brides father, who is just re-
covering from recent operation, the
wedding was very quiet and was per-
formed in the study of the church
with only relatives and a few inti-
mate friends present. After a short
trip Mr.. and Mrs. Adams will be at
home in the Belmont addition to
Dallas. Mrs. Adams is a niece of F.

Site Selected
49, For New Hotel

The directors OF the new hotel
have decided upon location for the
new structure and closed a deal with
the owners, G. G. Thompson and
Mrs. George e. Coleman, for their
lot on the corner of Maysville and
High street. The lot faces Maysville
street 1872 feet and High street IS
feet. 1t has on It two-story brick
residence on the corner and the liv-
cry stable running back to the line
Of Mrs. Patsy Mcnamara. The price
paid for the property was $4,000,
$4,000 to be paid in cash and $500
to be taken in stock.
The directors have an offer of $3,-
500 for portion of the lot which will
not be used by the hotel company,
but do not think 1t wise to sell at
this time as they feel it will COM
mand more money.
In considering the various sites Of
fered to the company the directors
have had the expert counsel of var
ious architects and it was the unan-
imous opinion of both the directors
and the architects that a corner lot
was essential, and 1t was the belief
of all architects and directors that
the lot selected was the very best
available. The directors were of the
opinion that it would be best for the
company If lot on West Main
street could be secured, but nothing
was offered that was considered de-
sirable, they were unanimous in their
decision on the lot above named.
The directors considered the mat
ter carefully and after looking at 1t
from every angle felt that the site
purchased will be the most desirable
and acceptable to the various stock
holders.
Tentative plans will be submitted
by various architects at once, and it
is hoped one will be accepted and
completed in detail so that bids can
be advertised for and let within the
next sixty days.
