VARIABLE SPEED
FAN GAINS FAVOR
CooIs Engine at Times When
Most Needed, Autoists
Are Told.
OPERATION IS EXPLAINED
Conventional Belt Drive Difficulties
0bviated in New
Method.
OPERATION IS EXPLAINED
BY FREDERICK G. RUSSELL.


The day is not far distant when
fans in the better grade OF water
cooled-and perhaps ail-cooled-au,
tomobile engines will be driven by
electricity instead Of by means Of the
conventional belt drive from the
crankshaft. The advantage OF a
variable speed fan driven by an cleo
tric motor will be readily seen by the
car owner who studies the following
directions for. rigging up such a de-
vice on any machine.
The first step is to buy q second
hand electric horn and remove every
thing but the horn motor. its ex-
tended shaft and its covering. A
pulley should then be attached to the
end of this shaft and should be wide
enough to accommodate whatever
size fan belt Is used on the car. The
horn frame should then be bolted to
a small block of wood. which in turn
should be bolted to tho front end of
the frame directly to one side and
beneath the fan.
With this done 1t Is only necessAry
to run the belt from the fan pulley
to the electric motor pulley. to tight
en- the belt by adjusting the position
Of the fan and to see that the pulleys
are in line with each other.
Grounding Of Wire.
A wire from one connection Of the
horn motor should be grounded: the
other should run to a rheostat or
variable resistance unit placed at any
convenient position around the driv-
ing compartment where tho driver
can operate it. From the second post
Of the resistance unit a wire should
be Joined into the ignition wire cir
cult somewhere between the ignition
switch and the fuse box. Thus, when
the ignition is turned on and the en-
gine is started only q portion OF the
current which Is diverted to the re-
sistance unit passes through 1t and
reaches the electric fan motor.
Regulation Of Switch.
While the engine is cold the driver
regulates the switch on the resist
ance unit so as to reduce the current
to the fan motor to a minimum. The
fan revolves very slowly or. due to
slipping OF the belt. perhaps not At
all. This aids in warming up the
motor. When the motometer reaches
a point which indicates normal tenn
perature, resistance is reduced and
the fan is made to operate a little
faster. When the car is climbing a
steep hill on a warm day or Is idling
in congestion and overheating, the
fan may be driven at top speed, thus
cooling the engine very rapidly.
With the conventional belt drive the
fan increases in speed and cooling
capacity as the engine increases in
speed; This tends to sssravate cool
ing difficulties. for an engine fire.
quently overheats at low speed and
runs too cool At high speed. Tho
electrically driven fan II used in con-
junction with radiator shutters, q
thermostat and q motometer would
give a motorist complete control OF
the cooling system and would result
in greater efficiency Of operation.

RULES ARE LISTED FOR INSPECTING
AUTOMOBILE PRIOR TO LONG TOUR

knowing that the Joys Of auto
mobile touring depend largely upon
the service his car gives him. the
tourist should give it q thorough
examination before starting on an
extensive tour. As an Aid to owners
who desire to condition their cars
for summer touring. the Chandler
Motor CIR Company has issued a
list Of hints and suggestions that
should be Of value to those who
drive cars Of all makes.
Among the more important points
to be checked UP are the following:
Examine the electrical equipment
to make sure that the generator and
ammetsr are functioninE properly
and that lighting circuit, starter
and horn connections are secure.
Lamps should have bulbs Of equal
candlspovHr. have clean rehectors
and be properly focused.
Test the strestins gear to see that
It does not bind 1t any point and is
thoroughly fabricated.
Examine the brakes. Determine
that they are free and do n6a drag
with lever and pedal released and
that they hold with pressure even
when pedal 10 depressed or lever
drawn back. Brakes should be 80
adjusted that the car can be
brought to a stop without grab
bling.
Keep the radiator clean. Flush
the ater-circulatinG system to
remove any rust or sediment de-
posits, as these tend to heat the
motor.

The dramatic editor when asked by
an irritated theater patron why he
did not print a scathing editorial
against talking in the theater during
the performance replied that he had
done so frequently, and that it was

who do. It's sad commentary, but

American makes Of tires and a cheap

This competition has not been
strongly felt in Mexico City or its i'm

American firm which handles large
quantities OF tires in Mexico City has
sold only two German made tires in
the past year and this sale was made

 Jasper ran into the next street, as he had done before, but Norton did not appear there. He stood a mo- ment staring about him. but he heard no sound.
 He knew he had no time <o waste now. The captain would have gone back to the police station to sound an alarm, aand a search for Jasper would be instituted at once.
 He wanted to return to Kate for a moment, but he hadn't the time He ran back through the yard till he came to the fencs. He had seen that this fence extended to the next main street. There were no fences be tween the houses.
