Economy and Efficiency Are
Claimed for Popular
Solution

Distilled glycerine and water
will 1nquestionably become the
popular anti.freeze compound for
use by auto owners next winter
In the opinion of many experts
throughout the country who fore
see greater and all year round
mileage for all water.cooled cars
through this means. Economy in
cost and surety of car usage In
cold temperatures will prevent
many cars being put up for the
winter when autumn comes.
The properties and qualities OF
distilled glycerine are wholly in
conformity with the Bureau Of
Standards definition of an ideal
anti-freeze compound. for the com.
pound must be one which will pre-
vent freezing of the liquid without
injuring either engine or radiator,
that will not lose it's non-freezing
properties after continued use and
that does not materially change
the boiling point of water when
dissolved in it, With such a cri-
terion and such an accomplishment
in it's usage, owners of autos may
feel assured that their next win
ter's driving may be done in any
weather.
Many Solutions Used.
Fifteen million thirsty autos
drink millions of gallons of anti
freeze liquids in order to keep their
radiators warm in cold weather.
Auto owners mix many various
concoctions for pouring down the
dry and warm throats of their
cars. Prohibition has not changed
their cry for artificial protection
against cold. Some owners use
patent liquids, many unfailingly
use alcohol, others have adopted a
solution of distilled glycerine and
water.
There are only five states in the
Union where anti-freeZe mixtures
are not used some time during the
year Those five states have TO
cold nor mountainous districts; but,
in our northern states, changes IN
temperature often range over nine
months of the year and cause auto
owners to be alert to the crippling
of their cars under unexpected colo
spells.

Of research has been done by special
lists to discover by analysis and test
those anti-freeZe compounds which
can be established under standard
specifications for use by the general
public.
Glycerlne Lasting.
The use of distilled glycerine has
presented a strong case in its favor
as against the solution of alcohol
and water because of the unques-
toned permanence of its anti-freeZe
properties, it's economy, the reduc'
tion of fire hazards in the CARA geJ
and that all-important goal whlcn
owners of automobiles strive for in
increased mileage through all-year-
round usage Of the car.
1t is unusual that the anti-freeze
properties which practically govern
the initial demand for such a com
pound are not the only worth while
qualities which distilled glycerince
possesses. There are also several
advantages which make the solu-
ton advantageous In all weather.
for all water cooled cars, and in the
interests Of all owners of cars.
The non-eVapOration of glycerlne
Is an example Of the economy of
it's use; for, where alcohol must he
replenished as it continually eVapo-
rates, there is no evaporation of dis
titled glycerine, only water being
added in the radiator from time to
time
