KEEP CAR RUNNING
WELL DURING WINTER
Good, Clean Oil Is Of Most Vital
Importance.
Just a Few Changes From Summer
Running Are Necessary and Six
Helpful Suggestions Are Offered
TO owners Of Automobiles.

A motorist should have no more
trouble with his car In winter than he
does in summer, If he takes the right
PRECAUTIONS. Cold weather operation
requires just a few changes from
summer running, and the following six
helpful suggestions are made TO those
operating motor ears in cold weather.
l. Use a good, clear oil with a low
cold test. 1t Will flow at the first turn
over.
.. A little alcohol in your radiator
will prevent a frozen radiator, u
less inconvenience and preclude
cracked cylinder blocks.
2. A radiator cover will keep your
engine and radiator warm. II also
makes far easier starting and saves
your storage battery.
4. Drain your crank case more fire.
ouently in winter than In summer.
Every 500 miles is a good plan.
3. Easy starting even in coldest
weather, Will result from the use
of volatile gasoline. because OF its
low boiling point.
@. There are more than fifty parts
on your car that need lubricatlon' see
that they get 1t this winter.

ANTENhAE OF OTHER
TYPES ARE DESCRIBED
Cage, Loop and Umbrella Forms
Have Each Certain Advan-
tages and Special Uses.

Some of the newer generation of
radio amateurs may have been led to
think that the cage antenna is more
efficient than other forms. One of
the arguments advanced for their use
is hat they have been adopted by the
United States navy on all ships. There
Is a good reason for the adoption of
this type of antenna for the navy, but
1t is not because of the great efficiency
of the cage type. In fact, the only rea-
son the cage type Is used at all in the
navy is because of the fact that 1t
would be difficult for an enemy shell
to earry away the antenna with a
single shot.
There seems TO be a good deal OF
misinformation on the merits of the
cage-type antenna. They make Il

pretty appearance, 1t is true. but un-
fortunately In radio, pretty Is as
pretty does, and 1t takes more than
any artistic appearance to do the
work.
One of the so-ealled advantages Of
the cage Is that high tension corona
losses are reduced To n minimum. IL
the amateur Is using undamped oscil-
%lations, that Is, using IA vacuum tube
transmitter, he need not be concerned
about corona losses. However, II a
damped or spark transmitter Is used,
the cage antenna will be advisable.
Also uniform current distribution Is
secured by the use of the cage an
tenna. This is not the case with the
fiat-top antenna, where the currents
are 20 equal. the oater carrying more
current than the inner wires. From
the foregoing 1t may be said that the
cage antenna Is to be preferred to the
flat-top only because of the reduction
of the ~hlgh-voltage corona losses and
because of the uniform current distri-
button.
II has been shown that antennae have
certain well defined dlrectlonal char.
acteristies. The n having the most
clearly defined characteristics Is the
loop antenna shown In Figure o.
In actual practice a very satlsfac-
tory type of loop antenna for recep-
tional purposes consists of eight turns
of No. 16 wire, spaced one-elghth, and
wound on a frame 80 inches square.
The fundamental wave length Of this
antenna Is approximately 100 meters.
Obviously loop antennae need not
be square. They may be triangular,
circular, or any closed shape. and
their linear dimensions are not nee
essarily fixed. Due to their small
dimensions, the amount of energy
picked up by them IL also small, and
therefore they should be used only
with several stages of radio frequency
amplification before the detect0r. See
Figure 8, In which the loop Is shown
with only a detector.
In the hook-up. l. is the loop anten'
ma, and forms the inductance In the
oscillating circuit. G Is the variable
condenser connected across the loor
terminals and is used to tune the looT

lstics and receives signals only from
stations In the plane of the loop. Thai

direction of travel of the wave sen

been devised whereby loop antenna'
are used with success In eliminatin;

is accomplished partly by the small

+, speed TO make the acute angle turn
safely the plan calls for a short run
way straight ahead, where the mo-
torist can turn around ut his leisure.
The plan works In exactly the same
way if the motorist is travelling in
the opposite direction to the one in
Dictated.
The second drawing illustrates the
method as applied TO roads that cross
tracks at a right angle. The zig-zag
forces a slowing down, there being
one broad turn first, then an acute
one. BY making the acute angle turn
the motorist is given a good view of
the tracks in both directions before he
crosses. He is forced to a very slow
speed and will have his ear under
control.
Always a Danger Spot.
The principal thing in safeguarding
grade crossings is to make the motor
list understand that every crossing Is a
danger spot, to impress on him, as he
approaches, that he Is at a place
where he must take precautions. Any
plan which tends to make the motorist
feel that the grade crossing has been
made safe Is worse than no plan
at all.
Auto men and railway men gen
orally who have been approached on
the subject have agreed that Mr.. Rob
sons plan Is superior to any of the
others suggested and they express the
hope that it Will speedily be given a
thorough test.
While It is recognized that the plan
would make railroad crossing a slow
process, 1t is believed that motorists
would not object to this If a large
number of the present grade crossings
are eliminated altogether. Especially
Ii Is not believed they will object TO
the minor delays when 1t is remem-
bered that LOGO people were killed
on grade crossings in the United States
last year and some 1900 Injured.
This tredmendous slaughter can be
avoided by the adoption Of an ade-
quate safety system. Motorists gen
orally are invited to join In the per
fecting of such n system.
