WATER AL T0S
TO GET MORE
MILEAGE
Glycerine, Anti-freeze,
Economical and Cuts
Fire Hazards.

Distilled glycerine and water will
unquestionably become the popular
anti-freeze compound for use by auto
owners next winter, is the opinion of
many experts throughout the country
who foresee greater and all year
round mileage for all water-cooled cars
through this means. Economy in cost
and surety of car usage in cold tenn
peraturcs will prevent many cars be-
ing put up for the winter when au-
tumn comes.
The properties and qualities Of dis
titled glycerine are wholly in con-
formity with the bureau of standards
definition of an ideal anti-freeze COM
pound, for the compound must be one
which will prevent freezing of the
liquid without injufing either engine
or radiator, that will not lose its nom
freezing properties after continued use
and that does not materially change
the boiling point Of water when dis.
solved in it., t
DRIVE IN ANY WEATHER.
With such a criterion and such an
accomplishment in its usage. owners
of autos may feel assured that their
next winters driving may be done in
any weather. ~ =.
FIFTEEN million thirsty autos drink
millions of gallons of anti-frceze
liquids in order to keep their radia-
tors warm in cold wea ther. Auto own
ers mix many various connections 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 So
luton Of distilled glycerine and water.
y AFFECTS MANY.
. There are only five states in the
union where anti-freeze mixtures are
not used some time during the year.
Those five states have no cold nor
mountainous districts; but, in, our
northern states. changes in tempera-
ture often range over nine months Of
the year and cause auto owners to be
alert to the crippling Of their cars
under unexpected cold spells.
As continuous utilization CT. the au-
tomobile for transportation depends
upon its unfailing readiness and
prompt operation, n great, deal OF re-
search has been done by specialists to
discover by analysis and test those
anti-frecze compounds which can be
established under standard specifica-
tons for use by the general public.

By w. p. BATES
REQ Motor Company Of Texas.


Notwithstanding the fact that the
motor car has entered the business
or social activities of all classes, and
has been the greatest single influence
Of the Twentieth Century on Amer
lean life, the farmer has, of all peo-
ple. been the most profoundly af-
fected. To the farmer the automo-
bile has been more than an aid In
his business. Efficiency in farm
methods had progressed far before
the motor car was even seriously
thought of. Nearly every piece OF
modern farm machinery used today
in the fields or in the home-ante-
dates the motor car by number OF
years. And yet, the automobile must
Be accorded the stellar role in that
much discussed drama, Farm Prog
ress., to which new scenes are being
added with bewildering rapidity.
For the motor car has changed the
viewpoint entirely of the farmer and
his family. 1t has broadened their
outlook, and the scope of their so
eial life. 1t has done more to make
Mrs. Farmer a happy, contented wo-
man than all the labor saving house
hold devices which had previously
come to her, electric lights, the tele-
phone and the photograph not ex-
cepted. Her hitherto distant neigh
bors have been moved right up next
door by this vehicle that goes miles
while the grey mare is getting out
of the yard, and the word "neighbor
has come to mean something more

live a mile south and two miles east

Map Cars Report.

Telegraphic reports received at the
National Headquarters of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association during the
past week indicate a phenomenal in
crease in motor touring in the South
and the Southeast for this season of
the year. Evidently the motorcade to-
ward the South is already underway.
According to dispatches from the
five mapping cars and crews that the
A. A. A. is now maintaining in the
southeastern states, the increase iii
travel in this new winter Playground
of America" is POO per cent. These
cars are travelling all the main high
ways. gathering mapping information
for the new official A. A. A. Tour
Book OF the southeastern states.
WINTER PLAYGROUND.
As n result of touring growth and
the extent to which the various COM
munities are bidding for their share of
tourist trade, keen rivalry has devei-
oped among the communities on the
highways of travel. A. A. A. clubs.
chambers of commerce. resorts. hotels
and campsites are involved in this riv-
airy, every community naturally urg-
ing that its particular route be desig-
mated as the zone and only" recon-
mended through trial.
While taking this as healthy sign
of the awakening Of the South to her
possibilities as a winter Play
ground" Ernest n. Smith, general
manager of the American Automobile
Association which has sponsored the
southbound movement, called atten-
ton to the fact that the A. A. A. de-
velopment is concerned with the whole

there will be no playing Of favorites

fortunately, this situation is taken
care of by the fact that there are
many recommended highways and that
each highway will take care of q
goodly portion of the travel" Mr..
Smith said. 1T depends on where
the tourists come from and what
route is best suited to them.
a. A. A. membership is concen-
trated largely between the Mississippi
river and the Atlantic Seaboard. This
