ALCOHOL IS BEST
ANTI-FREEzE DOPE
Great Drawback Is That 1t
Readily Evaporates and
Must Be Replaced.

Letter circular No. Is IN revised
form has just been issued by the
United States bureau of standards.
1t embodies the tests made on a num-
Der of anti-freezing mixtures and gives
table showing the percentages of al
cohol. Of glycerin, and of combina-
tiOns of the two that are necessary to
produce a solution having given
freezing point.
Alcohol is still regarded as the best
material to keep automobile radiators
from freezing If wood alcohol is used
care should be taken to see that it is
free from acid. otherwise corrosion of
the radiator and circulatory system
may result. The great drawback to
the use of alcohol is the fact that 1t
readily evaporates and has to be re-
placed. Glycerin does not have this
drawback, but 1t is more expensive.
Anti-Freeze, Solutions.
Among other anti-freeze solutions
discussed are calcium chloride. honey,
glucose and kerosene
Calcium chloride is frequently used
and found to be very effective, but 1t
has a decided corrosive action, par
ticularly on solder and aluminium.
This salt forms the basis of many Of
the patent anti-freeze mixtures on the
market. To some of these a soluble
chromate is added to prevent corro-
sion. The bureau finds that little cor
rosion results when this Is added ex-
cept to the aluminium parts. An
other troublesome feature of calcium
chloride is it's tendency to cause short
circuits when it gets on the spark
plugs or ignition wires. When cold
1t takes up moisture and forms good
conducting layer where such is not
desired. 1t is hard to remove and
the short circuits formed by it hard
to find because they disappear when
the engine gets hot.
Unsatisfactory Mixtures.
Honey and glucose were found I'M
satisfactory because high concentra-
ton is necessary to prevent freezing,
and this results in thick solution
that does not flow freely. There is al
so danger Of depositing sugar in the
circulatory system. Low percentage
solutions do not lower the freezing
point to any great extent, but they do
prevent bursting the radiator. When
such solution does freeze it first
turns to slush which must first be
cooled to a considerably greater ex-
tent before it turns solid.

Deceleration Is Quite
Important to Motorist

"Accelerates from five to thirty
miles an hour in ten seconds" reads
an auto advertisement. Very good,
but what about deceleration? How
many seconds are required to bring
the car from thirty miles an hour
down to five?
It is customary to think of stopping
in terms of distances, whereas it may
be more to the point to consider 1t in
seconds. The time interval has much
to do with the distance, for even If
a car has poor brakes and does not
stop efficiently. second saved some
where in the process is quite a bit
of distance saved as well.
BY conserving even fraction Of a
second, some drivers are able to get
fOur-wheel-brake results with two.
wheel brakes Drivers who have used
hand brakes in the past well remem-
Der the gain in deceleration distance
when foot brakes speeded up the stop
ping process.
Stopping is coming to be a matter
Of seconds more than of distance. Stop
watches on the braking technique of
many drums probably would show the
need for such change.

Points to Remember
When PURCHASING Home

One thing that a man should never
forget when he is buying home Is
that the home will be the center Of
his family life, probably for many
years. His children will be brought
up In 1t and amidst its surroundings
In 1t his wife must do most of her
work, and I'm it both he and his wife
will spend most of their leisure time.
He should, therefore, look at the diff
ferent properties available and see
how they measure up by these com
nonsense, practical standards. 1t is
well for the family to picture itself
going through its daily routine in the
new house, cooking, cleaning, going to
work, school, play, etc., at all seasons.
The mere fact that snowy mantel-
piece is displayed that four-inch
steel I-beam supports the floor, that 4
radio set has been installed or that
several French plate glass mirrors are
built in doors should not determine his
choice or induce him to pay an addi-
tional $500 for the property.

Surroundings Count

Merely to be assured of the char
acter of surrounding development is
not enough for the property owner, ac-
cording to William l. Whitney, district
Asales manager of leading Detroit
company.
'"rhe appreciation Of a diamonds
hlue," Mr.. Whitney said, twill not
as great If it is set in cheap sill
Or brass. 1t may be the finest
le-white stone, but its setting de-
let's from an appreciation Of its
hue. 1t has always been the same
th property. A house might be
lendidly constructed, have archi-
ctural beauties Of the highest or
Ter, but If the character of the sur
roundings do not At it, its desirable
ity will be less and the Investment
IN it will suffer. For that reason peo-
pie have come to see the Importance
Of choosing property which is located
in surroundings whose development is
controlled. The chance for increasing
property value is influenced tremen-
dously by what goes on around it."

~ Building.
Color Has Big Part
in Home Construction

Color is one of the most important
features about the home. 1t governs
to a surprisingly large degree not only
appearances but temperament. 1t
makes not only for beauty but for
good or i'll nature as well. Certain
colors are just as depressing as others
are inspiring.
Women are just as particular, ordi-
narily, about the coloring Of the paper
on the walls Of their homes as they
are about the color of their clothing.
Men are less responsive, perhaps, and
pay less attention to their environ
ment, yet unconsciousIy for all that
they are affected more or less.
The same thing applies to the ma
terials Of which your home Is con-
structed. Instinctively you turn away
from the house that has drab and
dreary appearance Just as quickly
you admire the one with rich, warm
coloring in the walls. Brick houses
particularly have this quality made
permanent In the burning OF the
bricks. In most other wall. materials
1t must be artificially produced and
frequently renewed.

Choosing Building Site

Every individual business site has
larger possibilities for certain kinds
OF business enterprises than 1t has for
others. The property manager who
can arrive at just which kind of bust
ness would be most successful In the
exact location Of a particular build
Ing In his charge and who can make
the reasons clear to his prospective
tenant, is a property manager who
has gone far to minimize the vacancy
factor In the earning capacity of that
building.

Establishing an Industry

Economy, service and prestige are

for the manufacturer or distributor

materials he uses in his business. Nmar-

Under prestige comes the reputation
Of the locality as business center of

pounds each and travelling only 20
miles daily were relied upon to trans
port supplies to the skyline operating
centers and to carry down to sea-
board and railroads the refined metals,
enormously heavy even in small guam
titles. Improvements in mining prac-
tice were impossible until better dis
trlbuting methods were available.
Charges Reduced.
Notwithstanding roads which were
only rough trails covered with rocks
and the fact that an automobile motor
ordinarily loses 80 to 35 per cent Of its
power when operating in the rarefied
atmosphere of high attitudes, trucks
have practically superseded the pack
animals. One light truck carrying
1000 pounds and covering 120 miles
daily, does the work of 100 burros or
llamas and cuts transportation charges
exactly in half.

Carburetor Wisdom

In making carburetor adjustments,
an operation the owner usually per-
forms when the engine is cold, the
new adjustment should be given a
chance to prove itself before another
change is made. That is, after max
ingla change the engine should be run
forEa couple Of miles, even if it mis-
,iires at the beginning while 1t is still
cold. It may be that after it has
w4rmed up to normal running tenn
pefature, the new adjustment will
