Air and Water Mixture Used in Method
For Cleaning Out Clogged Radiators

A new and successful way to clean
out clogged radiators by forcing mix
ture OF air and water through the core
has been developed following consider
able research work. recent expert
ment Is described in the following re-
port:
"A few days ago 1t was noticed that
the motor was overheating badly. When
the car was driven at 35 miles an hour
or over the motometer would indicate
an excessive rise in temperature, the
rcd rising to the point indicating boil
ing. In daily drive of about 40 miles
more than gallon OF water would be
boiled out. An investigation of the
possible causes OF this overheating
showed that 1t was due TO clogging OF
the radiator.
AN attempt was made to clean out
the radiator. using washing soda, but
this did no good. Flushing with water
did not help. even when the water was
run in through hose for three hours,
The owner was advised by others who
had had the same experience that the
best thing to do was to buy a new
radiator instead of wasting time trying
to clean out clogged one.
However, when the "air-and-water'
method was tried the radiator was
cleaned successfully without even being
removed from the car. The exact pro-
cedrre was as follows:

Passenger car production in the
United States for the first quarter Of
1929 was greater than it was in the
same perioo last year, but was not up
10 the mark set in record breaking
1926, according TO 3. H. Cram. president
of Grants Automotive Reports, Inc, In
dustrv authority. Truck production for
the first quarter of 1929 was below that
of the same period of both previous
years.
The total number Of passenger cars
produced in the first quarter of 1928
was S67,TS2 units, compared with 809,-
TS2 in 1927, and 990.525 in 1925. The
1928 figure represents an increase OF
seven per cent over 1927 and q decrease
OF IL per cent under 1925.
A comparison of the monthly totals
of the present year with those of last
year shows that each months produc-
ton surpassed the corresponding month
by an appreciable margin.
But last year was not an outstanding
one. While the wholesale value Of all
automotive products produced during

moved and the openings closed with
large corks The petcock at the bottom
Of the radiator was removed and In
place of it was inserted IA by 70 inch
bushing carrying tire valve stem that
had been sawed Off, built up on the fiat
sides with a little solder and threaded
with 1s-inch pipe threads to fit the
bushing. The radiator was filled with
water and the radiator cap was left off.
Then. by using an air hose as in filling
a tire spurts of air were blown into the
radiator. Between spurts the water
that was not blown out at the top of
the radiator was allowed to drain back
down to the bottom. This alternate
turning on and off of the air was con-
tinued for few minutes, the radiator
being refilled couple of times in the
meantime. That rust was being loos-
ened was shown by the very rusty ap-
pearance of the water that came out.
"A measurement of the time required
for five gallons Of water to flow through
the radiator before and after this treat
ment showed just what was accom-
plished. Before treatment this time was
1872 seconds; after treatment it was 38
seconds.
After the treatment the motor
showed no evidence of overheating
The red in the motometer barely rose
into the circle, and there was only a
negligible loss of water instead of a

TIRE MANUFACTURE
PRESENTS PROBLEM
One of Many Precautionary Opera
tions in Insuring Uniformity Is
Involved in Drying Process.

One of the many precautionary opcr-
ations in the manufacture of automobile
tires. designed to insure uniformity. Is
The drying process to which the cord
fabric is subjected preliminary to coat
ing and frlctloning with high-gradc live
rubber The cords that ere the main
structure Of tire carcass must be Tree
from moisture according to Miller tire
engineers, so that the rubber viii penc-
,rate them thoroughly. Although the
moisture contained In the great rolls
Of cord fabric, as they are received from
the mills, is very slight. they are run
through q stoam-heated drying process
that leaves nothing to chance, engineers
say.
Working rubber into the cords
thoroughly not only strengthens them,
engineers explain, but it reduces Iric-
tion that would be caused by the cords
rubbing together as the tire fleXes mil
lions of times during its long life. One
OF the constant aims of progressive tire
manufacturers Is to reduce internal
friction in q tire carcass to the lowest
possible minimum For this reason each
layer of cords that is worked into the
carcass OF tire is run through large
calender rolls which press the rubber
into every part of the cords,
Before the great rolls Of cord fabric
are set to be dried out and calendered
they are subjected to careful inspection
by a process that insures the perfection
of every inch OF each cord. Strong
lights are thrown on the cord fabric
as 1t is slowly unrollcd and rerolied
Expert operators examine the cords
thoroughly for any defect or other mat
ter that might cause defective carcass
when worked into tire Tire cngi-
,neers claim that one defective cord can
cause serious trouble in the carcass OF
a tire.

noted that il is provided therein that
any survey made of this highway must
be approved by Congress before the
plans arc adopted and the work begun.
The construction Of this road IN
times of temporary industrial depreS-
sion and unemployment will be- highly
beneficial to labor and put many thou
sands of men to work.
While such a highway will be an
immense undertaking. yet, under the
plan proposed. it will not take dollar
out of the public treasury nor add one
cent in taxation in any OF the cities
through which the proposed highway
will pass The whole question of
financing this highway has been most
carefully worked out by some OF the
greatest financicrs of the country, who
have given II as their opinion that the
necessary funds can and will be raised
through the increased value OF the land
acquired for the right of way, 1t has
been common experience that wherever
modern highways have been constructed
that there has been a great increment
in value to adjacent property which
would be sufficient arguments that can
be advanced in favor of this bill.
Finally, this great highway would
be a band across the continent. which
would promote the unity of all sections
Of the country. II would be bond OF
union. People who visit each other

for Use of Touring
AutoistS.

Motorists planning to visit New York

selves of an opportunity of becoming
better acquainted with what New York
has to offer in the way of State parks
and recreational areas. A 120-page
booklet of size that fits ones pocket
and carrying many illustrations of New
York's parks has just been issued under
the direction of special committee
named several weeks ago by Gov. Smith
and consisting of Robert Moses, secre-
tary of state and chairman of the
State Council of Parks; Frederick
Stuart Greene. superintendent of pub
lie works, and Alexander Macdonald,
State conservation commissioner.
The distribution will be made through
Henry F.. Lutz is executive secretary,
with Offices at 302 Broadway, New York
City, and at Albany. The booklet has
been copyrighted.
A full-page road map accompanies
each of the II regional park districts
Of New York State, while double-page
key map occupies the center of the
booklet. The book is the first of its
kind to be issued by New York State
and there will probably be heavy call
for 1t during the coming months. The
popularity vi new 1OIk OLdIe PARKS
Is perhaps illustrated in the fact that
the Palisades Interstate Park alone at

The majority of these naturally came
from New York City. on account of the
proximity of this huge park TO the
metropolis.
The booklet has been printed In a
combination of sepia and green, the
latter typifying the Summer months
and the forest regions of the Empire
State. The booklet has been arranged
in the way of visionary trip starting
out of New York City and carrying the
motorist first to the Long Island State
park system and then up the Hudson
River, through the Catskills, the Adj

U. S. Trade to Increase by
Billions, Former Minister
Says in Address.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 23.--The visit
of President-elect Hoover to South
America will bring about an increase of
billions of dollars in United States trade
and investments with Latin America,
John Barrett, former director general
of the Pan-American Union, said in an
address last night.
Speaking at dinner of the New York
Young Republican Club, Mr. Barrett de-
clared the tour of the PreSident-elect
would solidify political, economic and
social relations between the United
States and South America, with Subse-
quent growth in trade to $4,000, ,000. 900
annually and investments to $10,000,-
0O0, 900, or twofold increase over pres
ent figures.
MI. Hoover's tour. said Mr. Barrett,
whom is former Minister to Argentina,
Panama and Colombia, lis fraught with
more far-reaching influences for per-
manent pan-American political eco
nomic and cultural understanding than
has characterized the efforts. policies or
ventures of any other President from
George Washington to Calvin Coolidge
not even excepting James Monroe.
Its nearest rival in modern times
for continental and worldwide interest,
influence and effect upon pan-Ameri-
caniSm was the memorable and bril-
liantly successful goodwill mission
around South America and to Mexico
undertaken in 1906 by Elihu Root, Sec
retary of State under President. RooSe-
velt."

Costello was referring also to Barry
more's repeated evasion of queStioners
and court refusalS to amplify or explain
his declaration that his second wife had
obtained a divorce.
BARRYMORE filed an affidavit to that
effect in applying for the marriage IL
cenSe. Since then questions as to when
and where the divorce was obtained
have met only with obdurate replies
that Il issued statement at the time
of applying and that L haven't any,

The actor yesterday painted a VIVID
picture in the minds of his fellow f1lm
players of his apparent annoyance over
the doubt raised about his marital free
dom. That's all have to say" he re-
iterated and stamped off into the maZes

IT said that was all I had to say" he
flung back over his shoulder. Later 1t
was learned that Barrymore had alb
sented himself from a set for four
hours while an entire motion picture
company was waiting for the continua-
ton of his part in the picture making.
Miss Costello refused to comment on
the turn of affairs other than to say
