hour. At that speed the car will be
rolling a little and there'n be less fric-
tion in the gears because the car will
drag less"
Before starting l made sure that the
IAN belt was tight enough to keep the
fan moving at it's maximum speed, yet
not too tight so that it might break.
We stopped at a filling station down
the road to add water to the radiator.
Here, however, Smith was to profit by
learning three points in connection
with the operation Of his car.
Filling the Radiator.
I warned him against filling up the
radiator to the brim. He couldn't un-
derstand this until I explained to him
that If he wanted to have the radiator
filled with water he must not put in
so much as to bring the level too near
the overflow pipe. With the engine
running fast and the water circulat-
Ing rapidly, the disturbance would
cause the water to splash into the
overflow pipe. thus creating syphon.
Often a pitcher of water will syphon
out the overflow.
also warned him to fill up the gas
tank. He said he had plenty Of fuel,
but he was figuring on the normal
mileage he would obtain when run

ming in high gear. I had to remind
him that running in second was nat
urally wasteful when operating on
level ground. and that he could not
figure on anything like the normal
mileage for his return home.
And then l showed him that he was
not having much success running In
second because the fan was not re-
volving as rapidly as it should. He
wanted to tighten the fan belt little
more, and probably would have added
a new trouble If 1 had let him go
ahead with his plans. AS l tried to
explain to him, part Of the business
of getting home on your wits Is In
preparing against additional contin-
gencies.
Lubricate Fan Bearing.
Finally Smith listened to reason and
we borrowed a grease gun from the
filing station and thoroughly lubrtcat-
ed the fan bearing. 1t WAS dry OF
lubricant and had heated, thus drag.
ging, despite the proper adjustment OF
the belt.
BY coasting as much as possible
Smith was able to keep the engine
pretty cool. Fortunately there were
number of hills along the way. These
were the sort motor cars are better on
climbing and descending in second
gear, SO the situation was not so un-
usual for Smith until spark plug trou.

dents-this daze from exceeding the

Eager to Get Home.
Smith, however, was in no frame
of mind to be preached to. He was
eager to get home.
She'll run in second" he said. But
the engine would overhead In no time"
Suppose we try It," I suggested.
But before starting off remember that
when the car is running In second 1t
isn't moving as fast as 1t moves In

radiator core. That Is why overhead.

4 DAIRY DIET

Americans are eating dairy produces. Last
year the average citizen consumed butter cheese
and milk than before The consumption Is not yet
really notable compared with that of other
countries, Holland and Scandinavia, for example, but
the tendency is important. We ate per capita TIA
pounds of butter 42 pounds of cheese IA pounds
of condensed and evaporated milk. Against this may
be set the meat consumption which 6 pounds per
capita in 1928 and though slowly decreasing, could
not have been much less last year
The big gain in dairy products is in the produc-
ton and consumption of fresh milk. In this, hygiene
and prohibition work together. 1t is common thing
to workmen who used to drink beer with their
noon lunch drink bottle of milk instead The Of
milk in the home is greatly increased.

slowly by the cattle and sheep of the ranges the
