In various ways automotive engi.

vices. moro or less effective In prac-
tice. have been installed In the ef-
fort to solve the problem. Upon
the DEGREE of success with which
they have met has In q large meas

make of automobile.
II this II not accomplished by
some means or other the motor does

Is constantly working past the pis-
tons into the oil Reservoir. carbonizins

the disposition Of an angel Is trans
formed into an automouve Bolshe-

Experience has made plain that
one of the most effective mechanical
schemes so far applied to get past
the evils resultant upon the use OF
low grade fuel is the radiator shut
ter. Used in connection with a motor
meter, which keeps a driver inform
ed at all times as to the heat OF
his engine, this device enable him
at all times to control engine heat.
BY closing the shutter completely
a car is put in condition for run
ming much more quickly than would
otherwise be the case. When the
motor is heated to the efficiency
point the shutters may be opened
Just wide enough to maintain tina,
temperature. The width of the shut
ter opening depends. of course, on
whether the engine Is laboring under
a hard pull. Is going against oI

temperatures and various other fea
lures. But always at control of the
driver IL the instrument which al
lows him to maintain a proper tenn

The radiator shutter in combina
ton with the motormeter has fol-
some time been one OF the strongest
selling points swung on prospects
| by dealers in Hudson and Esse,
cars. 1t has recently been supple
mented by a hot spot" device or
1 the Essex and a fuel-heating me
chanism on the Hudson. One of tn,
arguments In support of the manua
control Of the radiator shutter has
been the fact that when a car !,
driven to the curb the shutter may
be closed and the heat of the engine
conserved for some time.

CHANDLER NEW BODY
LINES LOW AND GRACEFUL

That pronounced changes have
been made in the body design of the
new Chandler Six are quickly noted
by motor car fans. Perhaps the
most important result from the new
underslug construction gives the
car low, sturdy. road-hugging ap,
pearance.
At the same time striking beauty
has been added by design changes,
causing the car to appear larger,
longer. deeper and more commo'
dious.
A modish rounded appearance has
been given the car through chang
ing the top edge Of the body from a
bevel to a sharply curved design.
