TEMPERATURE is IMPORTANT
Point Below Boiling Point of Water
Prevents Condensation and
Excessive Wear.

To get the greatest efficiency from.
a motor and at the same time with
maximum economy, it should be op-
Grated at temperature point little
below the boiling point of water. This
prevents condensation of gasoline, bad
results from cold Oil, and excessive
wear to motor parts, not only because
of poor fabrication, but also because
motor parts have not had the oppor-
tunity to expand properly In other
words, hot motor parts fit. And the
motor should reach the proper tenn
perature point as quickly as possible.
For this reason radiator shutters and
a motormeter are standard equipment
on some cars. They insure long life
and continued satisfactory perform
ance.

HEALING ART OF OLD CHINESE
Abundant Proof That They Were Fa.
miIar With Anesthesia Many
Thousands of Years AGO.

The artificial induction of painless
ness by narcotic draughts was tradi-
tionally known in ancient times, writes
DR.. Charles Balance in the London
Lancet.
The Chinese were acquainted with
general anesthesia thousands of
years ago. 1t is related of the Surgeon
Hoathe in the Third century A. D. that
he performed amputation, trephining
and other major operations by its aid.
Doctor Browne relates two cases of
anesthesia taken from a Persian
manuscript. The first story concerns
Aristotle and an Indian surgeon named
Sarnab. IAN earwig had entered the
patients ear and attached itself to
the brain. Aristotle gave the patient
the drug so that he became uncon-
scious while Sarnab trephined the
skull. This was excellent treatment.

eign bodies may produce otitis and
meningitis. In the second case the op-

COOLING SYSTEM
MOST IMPORTANT
Many Motorists Experience Con-
siderable Trouble From Their
Engines 0verheating.
MEANS TO PREVENT TROUBLE
Most Essential That There Be Free
Circulation Of Water, Freedom
From Scale and Strong Cur
rent Of Cooled Air.

Every automobile owner or driver
knows from experience that a gas en-
gine becomes hot after running for
some time. This is due to the explo-
sions or rapid burning Of the gas in
side the cylinders.
A Large percentage of the heat de.
veloped in the cylinder goes to heat
up the cylinder walls and if these
cHnnot be cooled either by strong
blasts Of air or water circulation
around them, they will become so hot
that they will crack and break apart
or at least become warped out of
shape and become useless BY far
the greater number Of cars use what
is known as the water-cOoling system
How Water Is Cooled.
The water flows around the cylinder
walls and then through piping and
rubber hose connections into the radi.
ator where it is spread out in thin
sheets or small pipes which have an
immense amount of surface exposed
to the air. In this manner the water
Is cooled and then flows back to the
engine In order to keep it, also, cooled
to the proper temperature.
If any part of the cooling system
fails to function properly, the cylin.
ders are not cooled and we say that
the engine overheats. Water, as we
know, cannot be heated above 212 de
grees F. without being placed under
pressure. Therefore, the water which
flows around the cylinder walls cannot
be heated above this temperature. II
the water is not kept slightly below
this temperature, 1t will rapidly evap.
crate by boiling. If the engine is run
without water in the water jacket the
cylinder walls will be heated above
their normal temperature, with the re-
suit that the Oil will be entirely
burned off the cylinder wall surface
and the piston will begin to cut small
slots lengthwise on the wall with the
result that often the engine WILL in 9
few minutes time, be seriously dam
aged.
Necessary Conditions.
In order that the cooling system
work properly, we must have the fol
lowing conditions:
Plenty of water, free circulation OF
water throughout the entire system
freedom from scale in the radiator
| and strong current of air passing
continuously through the radiator tC
cool the water.
1t follows, that If the engine over
heats some of the previous conditions
are not being fulfilled. Usually we
look at the fan first, as this is where
the trouble most frequently occurs
See that the fan bearings are free anG
that the belt Is tight enough to drive
the fan with very little slipping, also
have the fan blades tipped at the
proper angle to draw the air through
the radiator.
While the fan belt must be tight
| enough to turn the fan, care must be
taken not to tighten the belt so that
1t will be broken in q few minutes OF
running. Next see that there is plenty
Of water in the radiator; feel of the
rubber hose connections to see whether
they feel flabby. If they are soft, 1t /.
very likely that the inner walls of the
hose have softened and perhaps en-
tirely filled the opening SO that the
water cannot flow through.

Is Coolest Spot in World,

The coolest spot in the world has
been found, by comparison with which
the North pole is warmer than the

1t is the cryogenic laboratory Of the

liquefy helium gas, purify it and make
it 100 per cent efficient in the lift of

1t is so much colder than any other
spot in the universe that comparisons
are almost impossible.

You Auto Know

That one of the chief causes
OF automobile fires, especially
during cool weather, Is "backfir-
ing" which, in turn, is due to
the mixture not being sufficient
ly rich in gasoline. When the
backfire occurs a sheet of fame
leaps from the air intake of the
carburetor,. and If 1t strikes
anything of an easily inflamma-
BILE nature, serious explosion
or flame is likely to result.
The collection of gasoline upon
the drip-pan is one Of the prin-
cipal dangers in this connection,
for the gas vaporizes so rapidly
that, If the pan is not properly
drained or cleaned at regular
intervals, there is almost certain
to be sufficient mixture in the
vicinity of the carburetor to
cause trouble from backfire and
the subsequent flame. The pre-
vention Of this risk, Of course,
lies in the frequent use of the
choker in starting during cold
weather, and also in keeping the
drip-pan and the carburetor well
cleaned, although fires have also
been known to start from back
firing igniting pools Of oil or
grease on the floor of a garage.
