The ships weathered the storm with

landed he sent this letter by messeu-

Santangel did not consider il ad-

newly found empire. but decided to
have a few copies OF Columbus let

Tranic officers and motor cycle po-

with that they. too, very frequently
overlook the Importance Of courtesy.
Quite recently three people went to

that such action is a mistake, and
that he never stops a man on the

Cocoanut Island, one of the attrac-

The story runs that the demi-go

The plan failed because one Of his

Stop All LeakA |:
Clean out tho cooling system thor.
oughly and stop all leaks. Find out
exactly how many gallons or quarts
Of water the system holds and put in
the correct percentages Of denatured
alcohol when the thermometer touches
freezing. Everybody suggests a Diff
ferent percentage, but be on the safe
side. Add 10 per cent of alcohol for
temperatures down to 25 degrees
above, 20 per cent down to IS. 80 per
cent down to zero and SO per cent
down to 10 below zero. You may be
safe with per cent at 25 degrees
above, but what if the thermometer
suddenly drops to Is, when 10 per
cent would be about your minimum?
Glycertn and alcohol in equal parts
raises the boiling point temperature,
so that If you have prepared for a
bad cold snap and the weather sud
denly moderatee the system will not
be boiling over all the time. Glyce-
rim, however, costs money in such
quantities as you would be obliged to
use. Ordinarily it's easier to drain
off some of the radiator contents and
pour in some fresh water II the tenn
pefdtuTe goes up suddenly.
Wood alcohol when used as the
anti-freeze solution permits OF lower
percentages and is thus best suited
to very cold climates. A so per cent
solution will keep the cooling system
out of harm at SO degrees below.
Don't forget, Of course, that q little
glycerin, about a pint, added to the
radiator will float on top of the solu-
ton and help to prevent the rapid
evaporation OF your anti-freeze
preparation.
With the car fully prepared for
Winter. it is Interesting to discover
how much more useful it can be in
every way and how easily it nts in
with the new attitude toward cold
weather.
Winter is no longer a season to b.
dreaded. Every one is getting out
and learning to enjoy it. And your
car can play an important part in this
Winter pleasure, provided, Of coursr.

warnings that are now blowing earth

into more trouble than they were
trying to escape.
Every Winter an alarming number
of engines are damaged through over
heating. which, in turn, is the result
of too great an effort to protect the
radiator. Owners promiscuously add
alcohol and prepared anti-freeze mix
lures to the cooling system, attach
unsuitable radiator protecting de-
vices and readjust carburetors care
lessly In an effort to keep out Jack
Frost completely, without realizing
that to bottle up an engine is to roast
it to death.
Your engine needs cool air in Win
ter just the same as 1t does in Sum :
mer, but at different times. In Sum-
mer it wants the cool air right of
eral rule. But in Winter it demands
cool air only when battling with a
Pixies Peak or idling in traffic at
some hour Of the day when the ther-
mometer is a bit high for Winter
Your radiator covering should, there
fore, be designed to allow for such
variations in the now Of air, either
automatically or by hand.
II the carburetor has been deliver
ing a satisfactory mixture for Fall
use 1t should not be altered to give
q richer mixture for Winter. Re-
member that with the radiator COW
cred and the car standing in a heated
garage conditions should be more fav-
| orable for starting than they have
been throughout late October and No
vember
The hot-air stove" from the ex-
haust pipe to the air intake of the
carburetor should, OF course, be
closed, though If the engine has a
tendency to heat up and lose power,
and If the Winter is mild, 1t may be
well to open the air vent a triie.
Some cars are now equipped with an
air control which can be operated
| from the dash. Clever motorists who
do not have such devices can, and
rangement of their own.
1t is a fallacy to assume that be-
cause more heat is required for eff.
cient engine operation in Winter the
| radiator and cooling system can be
neglected. This causes most of the
trouble. If the radiator or pump
leaks it is foregone conclusion that
when alcohol is added to the radiator
as last-minute resort to prevent
freezing the whole system is going
| to become confused.
Alcohol leaks out quicker than
! water. If the owner doesn't know
this he probably finds his radiator
| frozen some cold night. If he does
| know it he'll have to guess at the
| percentage of alcohol in the system
and If he is earnestly but carelessly
| trying to avoid freezing he will prob
| ably put in too much alcohol, lower
