 Glycerine is sometimes used with alcohol to reduce the evaporation to -- minimum. However, it is rather eH- pensiye and also has tendency Io damage the rubber hose connexions. II rlycerine is used, mix the alcohol ana glycerine in equal proportions ana use fhis mixture in the same percentage as slcoEol in the above table.
 It must be remembered that 1t IS nee essary to add alcohol from time to tune to replace what is lost due to eVapoIa lion. Whenever necessary to HI 'he radiator, to replace loss by evaporation use a mixture of 4O per cent "a'er and 60 per cent alcohol
 Fan Belt Adjustment
 During extremely cold weather the fan belt can be loosened, which Will re duce the flow of air through the raul. ator and thereby allow motor to run warmer than it otherwise would.
 Radiator Cover
 If will assist greatly in approxlmatlnS fhe summer temperature of the motor if radiator cover is used. With radiator cover that is adjustable, a large mart of the radiator can be covered, al lowing the motor to readily warm !p. and then sodiusted to a suitable opening to keep the motor running warm but still not allowing it to overheat.
 CarburetOr
 To obtain maximum efficiency Irolh The low gravity gasoline now being used, the air entering the carburetor shoulu be moderately heated. In hot weather tbe normal air temperature IS hlgh ,t enough. Provision is made, however, !" for heating the air entering the car buretor. in cold weather. The tempera- 1. q ture is regulated by a sleeve over rne carburetor air brake, which should De closed during the winter months. It Will assist greatly in approXimating the sum mer temperature of the motor if the radiator cover is used as mentioned above.
 In starting the motor, make sure that the choke is pulled all the way out until the motQr starts, then push it in slightly until the motor warns up but do not have it even partly out longer than is necessary. Do not race an en- zine to warm it up, run it at an engine speed approxmating 20 miles per hour. ~ Lubricating System ., q; Always use a light, cold test motor oil in cold weather The motor oil should > he drained more frequently in winter than in summer, as the cold temperature ! aggrayates the dlution of the oil by raw kfuel, especially when the choke is kept closed too long. It is not advisable to drive a car until after the motor mas been turning over at a rate ot speed approximating 20 miles per hour long enough to give the oil a chance to get well into all of the working parts.
 We recommend under average condl- lions, the oil be drained approximately every 800 miles in order to guard against excessive wear of the bearings or cylln- der walls.
 Cars in short-trip service in cold weather on account of eXereme dllutlon of the oil, should have the motor oil changed every 300 to 300 miles. If the car is not driven this far in month the oil should be changed once month regardless of mileage. The oil pan should be removed and washed out with kerosene occasionally |. in order to prevent any accumulation of sediment which might have detrl- mental effect upon the bearings.
 Another condition which must be guarded against in winter is the fOrma- s ton of water in the crankcase. \ slight formation of water is something which is natural and cannot be prevented. It .e is aggravated, however, by the in- malicious use of the choke, frequent starting and stopping the motor as might be accustomed by numerous short drives, and failure to change the motor x oil at proper intervals.
 t Water, if allowed to collect in the . oil circulating system, will pocket and freeze very rapidly, stopping the circula- I1on of oil. A heavy sludge will also aT form which is very detrimental to the motor.
 E. To prevent the evils of water accumu- i lation, it is wise to drain q cupfull of oil from the crankcase once or twice a z week. Thsi should be done while the motor is warm, but after it has been E allowed to stand idle for about ten min 2 utes. This is easily accomplished by means of the drain valve handle con Yeniently located in the right-hand side of the crankcase. Any water present will be thus removed.
 Ignition
 A good hot spark is needed for start ing in cold weather. Make sure that all electrical connections are tight an clean that the distributor breaker points arc clean and the opening set to .O2OO'. Also see that the spark plug gaps are set tC .025'.
 Transmission
 If the car has two-wheel brake equip ment, with the coming of cold weather < < the oil should be drained from the trans mission and the case thoroughly flushed out with kerosene. It should then be %@ % filled with a mixture of 75 per cent 2 light transmission grease and p pel {, cent zero cold test motor oil. This mix ,.. ture will flow more freely than the usual transmission grease and will assure !, proper fabrication.
 Transmission grease or heavy oil must never be used, summer or winter, in q car with four-wheel brake equipment in cold weather, the medium motor oil 3 used in summer, must be drained out of the transmission. After flushing out the transmission case with kerosene fill it with light, cold test motor oil ? This is essential for the proper operation of the hydraulic brakes. Where tenn perature is consistently below zero add & 10 per cent kerosene to the cold test - motor oil.
 Rear Axle
 The rear axle, at this season of the year, should be drained of all grease anC fI,,sbaJ ont karoSpna
