George H. Crosby Will
Locate In Wyoming

Attorney George H. Crosby, Jr.,
will leave Flagstaff the first of the
year for Greenriver, in the southwe-t
part of Wyoming, f1ourishing little
city of 5000 people and seat of Sweet
water county, where he will be the
only lawyer.
Judge Crosby recently visited Green
river and was much impressed with
the Tiace and it's people. He made
arrangements while there to return
and locate permanently.
Since coming to Flagstaff two or
more years ago, Judge Crosby has add
ed greatly to his already large prac-
tice and increased the number of good
friends he has had here for years.
But his locating here was largely be-
cause of his health, which is very
good here but is not good at a lower
altitude or where the water is hard.
The present depressed business con-
dit1ons in Navajo and Apache coun-
ties, where he has retained many
clients, has made a large part of his
hard work unremunerative. This,
combined with the lawyerless condi-
ton of Greenriver, and the fact that
the climate and water there are about
the same as here, prompt the change.
Mrs Crosby and their unmarried
daughter, Miss Laprele, are in Los
Angeles, and with their son, George,
who will graduate from Normal here
next summer, will join Mr.. Crosby in
Wyoming after a few months.
Judge Crosby's many friends here
will deeply regret seeing him and his
fine family move so far away. For
merly teacher and editor, he's one of
those several-sided sort of men whose
opinions are always worth hearing
and whose sympathies are always
pretty sure to plumb just about right.

detrimental effect upon the bearings.
Another condition which must be
guarded against in winter is the for
nation of water in the crankcase. A
slight formation of water is something
which is natural and cannot be
prevented. 1t is aggravated how
ever, by the injudicious use of the
choke, frequent starting and stopping
the motor as might be occasioned by
numerous short drives, and failure to
change the motor oil at proper inter
walls.
Water if allowed to collect in the
oil circulating system, will pocket and
freeze very readily, stopping the cir
culation of oil. A heavy sludge will
also form which is very detrimental
to the motor
"To prevent the evils of water ac-
emulation, it is wise to drain cup
full of oil from the crankcase once
or twice a week. This should be done
while the motor is warm, but after
it has been allowed to stand idle for
about ten minutes. This is easily ac-
complished by means of the drain
valve handle conveniently located in
the right-hand side of the crankcase.
Any water present will be thus re-
moved.
GA vital point to remember in con-
nection with the storage battery is
that at a temperature of 10 degrees
F. its efficiency drops about SO per
cent Also, it is much more difficult
to crank the motor because of the eff
feet of the lower temperature on the
LII Of
plete vaporization of the fuel when the
motor is cold, slightly more cranking
is required to start the motor.
Because of the heavier drain on the
battery and it's decreased efficiency in
the winter, the energy taken from the
battery should be conserved as much
as possible. When starting the motor,
throw out the clutch, which will pre-
vent unnecessary turning of gears in
the transmission Through CONCEALED
oiD and consequently reduce the load
placed on the starting motor and bat
terry. Also see that all connections
are tight throughout the electrical
system and that none of the wires
are grounded or shorted.
"Test the battery with hydrometer
every two weeks. If, on any two con-
secutive tests, the specific gravity is
1900 or under, remove the battery
from the car and have it charged and
also see that the generator is charg
ing properly.
when adding distilled water to the
battery in freezing temperature, make
sure that the motor is Immediately
run for a short time so as to charge
the battery, thereby mixing the added
water with the acid and preventing
freezing.
"a battery not properly charged will
freeze and the specific gravity should
be frequently checked. The following
table will be found a convenient ref
erence:

HOW TO PROTECT
YOUR MOTOR CAR
In COLD WEATHER

"The average car owner is seldom
in a position to know just what must
be done to his car in the winter to
approach as nearly as possible con-
ditions as they exist in warm wealth
err For this reason" says c. H.
Payne. of the Old Trails Garage,
Studebaker dealer, 'the following
suggestions should be carefully OBJ
served by automobile owners.
Before any anti-freeze solution is
used, the water circulating system
should be inspected for leaks, and re-
pairs made, if necessary. 1t is usual
Iy a good plan to replace hose con-
nections at this time of the year. Do
not use anti-freeze preparations con-
tanning calcium chloride or other sim
liar compounds, as they corrode the
inside of the radiator.
"The only satisfactory solution of
which we know is alcohol and water.
Denatured alcohol is preferred, but
wood alcohol can be used. Wood al
cohol often contains free acetic acid
and should never be used unless it is
known to be free from acid. If acid
is present, damage to the radiator
will result.
"The following table shows differ
emily proportional mixtures with tenn
peratures at which the solution will
begin to freeze:

"Glycerine is sometimes used with
alcohol to reduce the evaporation to
a minimum. However, it is rather
expensive and also has a tendency to
damage the rubber hose connections.
If glycerine is used, mix the alcohol
and glycerine in equal proportions and
use this mixture in the same per-
centage as alcohol in the above table.
at must be remembered that it is
necessary to add alcohol from time to
time to replace what is lost due to
evaporation Whenever necessary to
fill the radiator, to replace loss by
evaporation, use a mixture of 40 per
cent water and so per cent alcohol.
During extremely cold weather the
fan belt can be loosened, which will
reduce the flow of air through the
radiator and thereby allow motor to
run warmer than it otherwise would.
at will assist greatly in approx
mating the summer temperature of the
motor if a radiators cover is used.
With a radiator cover that is adjust
able, large part of the radiator can
be covered, allowing the motor to
readily warm up, and then adjusted
to suitable opening to keep the mo-
tor running warm but still not allow
ing it to overhead.
"To obtain maximum efficiency from
the low gravity gasoline now being
used, the air entering the carburetor
should be moderately heated In hot
weather, the normal air temperature
is high enough. Provision is made,
however, for heating the air entering
the carburetor, in cold weather. The
temperature is regulated by sleeve
over the carburetor air intake, which
should be closed during the winter
months. 1t will assist greatly in ap-
proximating the summer temperature
of the motor if the radiator cover is
used as mentioned above.
I'm starting the motor, make sure
that the choke is pulled all the way
out until the motor 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 engine to warm it up, run it at
an engine speed approximating 20
miles per hour.
always use light, cold test motor
oil in cold weather. The motor oil
should be drained more frequently in
winter than in summer, as the cold
temperature aggravates the dilution of
the oil by raw fuel, especially when
the choke is kept closed too long. 1t
is not advisable to drive car until
after the motor has been turning over
at a rate of speed approximating 20
miles per hour long enough to give
the oil a chance to get we'll into all
of the working parts.
We recommend under average con-
ditions, the oil be drained approx
mately every 500 miles in order to
guard against excessive wear of the
bearings or cylinder walls.
Cars in short-trip service in cold
weather, on account of extreme dilu-
ton of the oil should have the motor
oil changed every 800 to 500 miles.
If the car is not driven this far in a
month the oil should be changed once
month regardless of mileage.
"The oil pan should re removed and
washed out with kerosene occasion
ally in order to prevent any accumu-
latiOn of sediment which might have
