Tire Chains Are Almost
INDISPENSABLE on Auto

Tire chains are an almost indis-
pensable motoring accessory in wet
weather, but many a car owner has
ruined his tires because he did not
give the chains proper consideration.
First of all. chains should be of the
proper size not so tight as to eat into
the tires tread and sidewalks or so
loose as to slip under strain. They
should be adjusted to creep Slightly
so as to distribute the wear over the
tire.
Put on chains when they are need
ed-no sooner and no later-and take
them off as soon as the need is past
Keep them on the tires as long as they
add to driving safety, but not mo
ment longer This advice is particu
larly applicable to paved highways
Apply brakes even more cautiously
when chains are being used. A sud
den application Of the brakes lock-

Secret Lock Is Puzzle
to Automobile Thief

A good device for puzzling the au-
tomobile thief was made as follows:
The regular terminal was removed
from the end of the ignition wire and
an extra one procured. One of these
was clamped around a piece of brass
tubing and the other around a similar
piece of tubing of hard rubber. The in
side of each tube was threaded with a
small tap. The end of the wire was
placed inside a yet smaller piece of
brass tubing and little solder was
poured in to make good connection.
This piece of brass tubing was very
slightly larger than the holes in the
hard rubber and brass tubes inside the
two terminals, and was threaded on
the outside so as to screw into the
holes in the two terminals. In ordi-
nary use, the terminal with the brass
lining is screwed on 20 the end of the
wire and used in the regular manner.
When the car is to be locked, how
ever, the hood is raised, the brass
lined terminal is removed and the rub
ber-lined one is screwed into it's place.
The hard rubber is an insulator and
the ignition system will not function.
and friend thief will puzzle for long,
long time before he dopes out what
is the trouble

Winter Motoring Is Not
Attractive to Owners

Winter motoring is not attractive
to many owners owing to the compli-
cations involved in starting and caring
for the car, and this is especially true
of the older models. Many of these
are directly due to the lack of comfort
in the garage. They are also the
cause of rapid depreciation in ones
sense of humor, and probably make
one more efficient in profanity. An
unheated garage not only reduces the
pleasure of winter driving, but may
also be responsible for number Of
other troubles, in addition to hard
starting.
An unheated garage prevents work
ing around the car and giving it the
attention it should have to operate eff
ticiently in cold weather. There is
always danger of failing to drain the
radiator or providing an antifreeze
solution of the proper strength with
the resultant danger of damage to the
radiator or cylinder through freezing
Low temperatures cause the oil in the
engine and the lubricant in the trans
mission and axle to CONCEAL and the
cylinders, bearings and other vital
parts are quite likely to depreciate
rapidly.
The viscosity Of the fuel will in
crease so that it will not flow as read
lily through the carburetor, while It
will also be more difficult to vaporize
and thus increase the possibility of its
condensing in the cylinders, finding it's
way into the crank case and diluting
the lubricating oil.
This gives rise to excessive fuel
consumption and a considerable por-
ten of the fuel enters the cylinders
in noncombustible form; that which
does not condense will escape to the
atmosphere and give rise to the pos
sibility Of explosion.
Starting an engine in a cold garage
requires more battery energy and thus
materially reduces its life, while q
weak battery is also apt to freeze
Aside from the fact that proper engine
care is impossible, the finish of the
car will also suffer, as it cannot be
properly cleaned-frozen slush and
mud lingering for weeks can have but
one result, that of dulling the polished
finish.

When 1t Is Necessary
to Prime Vacuum Tank

Nearly every motorist at some time
or other has the peculiar experience
Of running out Of gasoline Whenever
the supply tank has been completely
exhausted it should be remembered
that it is necessary to prime the vac
uum tank before the carburetion sys-
TEN will function again. This is gen
orally done by removing the plug on
the top of the vacuum tank and filling
the tank with gasoline.
The easiest method, however, is,
after replenishing the supply af gaso
line in the feed tank, to close the
choke on the dash, retard the spark
and advance the gasoline throttle
lever. Then throw on the switch and
run the motor on the starter for about
a half a minute; throw off the switch
and after waiting for about three min
utes start the motor in the usual way.
Turning the motor over with the
choke closed for half a minute forms
a vacuum in the system and starts the
gasoline siphoning from the supply
tank to the vacuum tank
1t is necessary to wait three min
ntes In order to allow sufficient time
for the. vacuum tank to fill itself This
procedure not only saves time, but
also makes the filling convenient

LARGER CROP OF
AUTO ACCIDENTS
Allowances Not Made for
Winter Conditions on
Various Highways.

The large crop of automobile ac-
cidents produced every year by the
winter months and the disproportion
between this number of accidents and
the number of vehicles on the streets,
was the subject of a warning issued
to motorists by Charles M. Hayes,
president of the Chicago Motor club.
Mr.. Hayes called attention to the
result of an investigation by the ac-
cident prevention departments of sew
eral large A. A. A. clubs in various
sections of the country. This investi-
CATION, he declared, clearly proves
that motorists by and large do not
make allowances for winter conditions
on the highway.
Fall to Make Adjustment.
sThe fact that in many cases the
curve of accidents sharply rises in
the winter months when there are
fewer vehicles on the streets" he
said. "shows conclusively that conges-
ton alone is not the cause of ac-
cidents. The findings of the acct
dent prevention departments of scores
of A. A. A. clubs are unanimous on the
point that motorists fail to make the
right adjustment in their driving
habits when wintry weather arrives:
"It has been proved, for INSTANCE
that in some cities the accidents on
wet day increase by about 100 per
cent. The traffic officers making the
counts noted that on the whole the
motorists involved in these accidents
were going at the speed which they
had come to regard as safe in dry
weather and had they made the neces-
sary adjustment, and reduced speed
Is per cent, 1t Is safe to assume that
there would be no increase in ac-
cidents. In other words, % per cent
reduction in speed on wet, slippery
pavement is absolutely necessary to
restore the margin of safety and off
set the disadvantages of poor vision
and skidding.
Rely Too Much on Chains.
'Another thing that causes many
IuOIOIlSLS " COlAC " SAACA 10 NA~ w
gree Of confidence that they place in
chains. Chains, it has been shown,
may be a good aid in keeping the
safety margin but are by no means
a preventive against accidents. 1t
is not the chains themselves but the
fact that the motorist is liable to be
over-confident that leads to trouble
1.-THE man who takes chances on a
wet day for the simple reason that
his car is equipped with chains, is
simply flirting with the undertaken.
"One way In which we can reduce
our accidents during the winter
months is simply to recognize that
it is winter and that the conditions
under which the automobile is oper-
ated involve increased hazard fac
tors. To meet this condition, the mo-
torist must undergo psychological
adaptation"
