No Rule for Radia tor.

Some idea of the conflict Of opinions
in engineering circles as to the proper
capacity of radiators and cooling sys
TENS may be had from survey Of
the capacities of the cooling systems
of the popular makes of American
cars. II should be stated, moreover,
that radiator capacity bears no direct
relation to engine type or size. Two
four-CyIinder cars have capacities of
only eight quarts each. while two
others have capacities of II quarts
each. The Ford radiator holds 13
quarts, a fact which may allay the
fears of those who figure 13 as an
unlucky number.
Some fours now in use run as high
as % quarts radiator capacity. This
IS an exception to the general rule.
II any rule can be found to apply.
/ Six cars, barring recent changes in
models. have capacities for u quarts

although one runs to 80, while an

1t is interesting to note that the
Chrysler six engine uses the same
amount of water-20 quarts-as the
larger Marmon. and that the Chandler
six uses "a quarts, as against % for
the Packard eight. Rolls-Royce tops
the record for radiator capacity in
America. 1t uses 36 quarts of water

Explaining License Gains.

Preliminary reports on detailed reg
istrationS for 1925 reveal some Inter
eSting changes over 1924
To start with. every State and the
District of Columbia showed gains.
This was to be expected after the re-
markable sales Of the year and the
marked progress in service methods
which tend TO keep cars from going TO
the scrap heap.
The distribution of this gain. how
ever. shows some significant changes.
AS compared with 1924 New York
tops the list for numerical gains In
registra tions. There We're slightly
over zoe. 900 more cars in the Empire
State last year.
Oklahoma, Florida, Michigan. Ohio,
Illinois, Pennsylvania. Texas and Cali
fornia show Increases of 100000 or
over. The second biggest increase
was shown by Ohio with more than
$50, 900 additional cars, with Illinois
and Texas about tied for third place
in the l40. 900 group.
The increase of approximately 100. 900
registrations in Florida was the
equivalent of transferring all the cars
in Nevada. Wyoming and Delaware
to the Southern resort. The reason
for Florida s increase is, of course,
easily explained. Reasons for other
increases. however, are more compli-
Gated.
The large Michigan increase of ap-
proXimately $4,000 ears may be a re-
Election of prosperity in the automo-
bile industry and allied branches.
Those who make Americas cars are
among their most enthusiastic users.
This same reason may explain Ohio :
increase, with the added effect of its
excellent system Of automobile clubs
and the improved traffic conditions.
Pennsylvania 5 increase may be due
to its extensive road-huilding program.
The Dakotas and the Northwest in
general showed healthy progress to
match improving economic conditions.
The District of Columbia staged a
comeback, it is worth noting. by gain
ing 81 per cent. as against a loss of
lis per cent i'll the comparison be-
tween 1924 and 1923 figures.

NOT TOO PERSISTENT.
Crank Intermittently When Car
Refuses to Start.

In trying to start cold engine ii
Is advisable always to give the starter
brief trials rather than to allow 1t to
grind away. The thing that results
In a quick start when cranking by
hand is the first whip of the crank,
which stimulates both suction and
compression in the cylinders. 1t is the
same with the self-starter. The full
strength of the battery goes to the
starter on the first contact. If this is
continued the battery rapidly weakens
TO point where the engine isn't
turning over fast enough to suck up
an adequate supply of gas vapor and
compress 1t properly. Also, continued
cranking tends to flood the engine
with gasoline. In such cold weather
1t is difficult sometimes TO tell whether
the engine is flooding or starving for
gas.
Evening star., 1926-01-31
Did You Know That

Using two gaskets in an engine head
may or may not affect power unfa-
vorably? Two gaskets raise the head
and increase the piston displacement.
while at the same time lowering com
preston. If compression tends to be
too high in the engine the o-gasket
plan may result in more power in hill
clim bing. Ii compression was normal
the increase in displacement may not
help.
Glycerine attacks shellac. and that
the water hose connections should be
inspected occasionally when using
glycerine as an antifreeZe?
Oil should be used for chassis lubri-
cation in Winter? This does not apply
TO universal joints. wheel bearings,
transmission and differential, except In
extremely cold climates.

Advancing the Spark.

Advancing a popular type of igni.
ton is merely a matter of turning the
distributor head counter clockwise and
then tightening the clamp which holds
1t in the new position. Motorists often
find themselves in quandary, how
ever, when the distributor head cannot
be turned farther. When this happens
all the owner has to do is to reconnect
each spark plug wire to the distributor
terminal just ahead of the one he
found it in. This advances the spark
excessively. The distributor Is then
turned way ack-clockwise-and a
suitable position found in the usual
way.

buretor that provides a rich mixture
above the throttle for quick starting
when the engine is cold. The idea is to
obviate choking off the air to the car
buretor, thereby preventing crankcase
dilution. This device, of course. Is only
in the claim state. Just how much
dilution it will eliminate remains to
be demonstrated. 1t does. however,
point the way to an elimination Of the
choke evil. and there IS every reason
to believe that the choke soon Will be
doomed. One of the suggestions ad-
vanced is the carrying Of Il special
supply of highest gasoline to be used
by one part Of the carburetor during
the starting process.
Regardless of the use of devices to
remove the gasoline content from oil
after dilution has occurred, 1t is rccog-
niZed that engine life could be pro
longed if no dilution was involved in
the starting process. 1t is in starting
that an engine needs lubricant and
raw gasoline in the cylinders tends TO
clean every trace Of oil off the cylinder
walls and the valve stems.
Evening star., 1926-01-31
Keep These in Mind.

Valve tappet clearances can be
taken up slightly by tightening the
cylinder head bolts.
Oil floating on the top of the water
in the radiator is evidence OF a cylin-
der head gasket leak.
Ii the oil-level indicator on the side
of the engine does not register less
than full when the engine is running
at a moderate speed the oil is not cir
Culating.
If the speedometer falls back to
zero when the rcar-Wheel brakes are
applied. while the car is Still moving
forward: the rear wheels are sliding.
A car. particularly an old car, will
have a little more power on hills with
the heater turned on.
When a car is out of gas, or the gas
line is clogged, the stopping OF the
engine will not be sudden. There will
be several hesitations before the final
stop.

Saves the Anti-Freeze.

Whether using glycerin or alcohol
as an anti-freeze it Is important never
to have the level Of the cooling solu-
ton up to the brim of the radiator.
II too much water has been poured
in the excess should be sucked out
with syringe or drained off by open
ing the drain cock a moment. The
point is to keep the level of the cool
ing solution about inches below the
top of the overflow pipe so that, in
expanding, it will not syphon out the
pipe.

Warming Engine
By Racing On Cold
Day Doesn't Work

Racing the engine to put il into
working condition more quickly
on a cold day is now recognized
to be a fallacy. The faster the
engine runs in the early stages
the greater volume of cold air is
drawn into the cylinders. the more
cold air is famed over the engine
and the quicker the exhaust gases
are expelled. The quickest way
to warm up is to run the engine
at moderate rate of speed with
the spark advanced just enough
to keep it from stalling.

LOCK YOUR IGNITION.
-Honored Method of Defeating
Thief Is Commended.

Now that 50 many car owners be-
lieVe it does not protect car to any
great extent to lock the ignition, 1t Is
becoming quite worth while to cash in
on the opportunity to use this time
honored form of theft protection. With
50 many people under the impression
that the locked car is no protection
against the car thief, the car that Is
actually locked stands a good chance
of being spared. Nowadays the thief
looks for the cars that are owned by
those who do not think it worth while
to us" the ignition lock or to buy cars
SO equipped.

MAKE SEVERAL TESTS.

Much tire trouble can be traced to
improper imitation, often a matter OF
careless use of the tire gauge. Bal
loon tires are extremely sensitive 70
pressures, and it is advisable TO make
more than one test with the gauge.
Test several times and take the aver
age. Start with just little more air
than is needed, because in testing
some air is allowed TO escape.

Bucking Snow Drifts.

There is but one way TO buck a
snowdrift without injury, to the en-
gine and clutch. That is, rush the
drift and press out the clutch just
as the strain of displacing the snow
comes. To allow the engine to keep
driving the wheels is To let the clutch
burn out. Back off. get up speed
and coast into the drift again. A few
trials will blaze a path without undue

4-WHEEL BRAKE TIP.
Driver Can Keep Out Slush by
Simple Precaution.

Drivers of cars equipped with eX-
ternal contracting, unprotected brakes
on all four wheels will find 1t ad-
visable to keep their foot on the brake
pedal when driving through slush.
If this slush splashes between the
drums and the bands of the brakes
the efficiency Of the entire braking
system will be lowered temporarily.
The brakes will have to be applied
earlier if the car is TO be stopped with
the usual margin Of safety. Slight ap-
plication of the brakes under Sucn
