FAILS TO EXPAND
Undluted Radiator GIycerin
Is Given Test for Use
in Motors.

. Laboratory experiments with radiator
glycerin have revealed O characteristic
which Is most reassuring to motorists
using this fluid as an anti-freeze. I'm
like water, glycerin' will not expand
under any degree of cold, however low.
One Of the members Of the Glycerin
Producers Association made q test by
pouring undiluted radiator glycerin
into a thin glass tube, sealing the tube
and exposing 1t to a temperature OF SO
degrees below zero. While the con-
tents of the tube concealed the fragile
container remained intact, proving that
there was no expansion even at this
extreme temperature.
While this quality may not seem
significant to the car owner who has
enough radiator glycerin to protect his
cooling system against extremes OF cold
in his home territory, 1t Is an impor-
tant safeguard in emergencies, as for
example. when he drives to abnormatly
cold places, such as high elevations,
without taking the precaution to put In
more anti-freeze. or when a sudden
cold snap catches him unprepared.
Furnishes Sure Protection.
The tremendous expansive force Of
freezing water IS everywhere demon
strated in cold weather by cracked tree
trunks, masonry and concrete. The
sturdy walls Of the motor block cannot
resist this force when water, unrnixed
with anti-freeze. hardens under tenn
peratures below 80 degrees. But radia-
tor glycerin combined with water in
the cooling system furnishes sure
protection against cracked motor blocks
and shattered radiators, no matter how
low the thermometer may fall
ic IA
system does not contain enough glycer-
In to keep the radiator mixture in
liquid form at unexpected low tempera-
lures. While the water In the radiator
may begin to freeze under such con-
ditions, the result will be merely
harmless slush. It is impossible for
the contents to become solid or to have
the powerful expansive force Of water ice.
Causes No Harm to Cars.
A slush of this kind. caused by alb
normal cold, has a slight expansive
movement because of its water con-
tent, but instead of harming the walls
of the cooling system 1t will merely
push upward into the overflow pipe.
The car will suffer no harm and can
be run as soon as it is thawed out.
It goes without saying, of course,
portion of radiator glycerin recon-
mended for the prevailing Winter tenn
perature in his territory. Every up-to-
date service station has charts which
state the amount OF glycerin required
by every type Of Car for protection
against the different extremes of cold.

New Brickmaking Method.

According to the method now In
vogue and which has been in use Tor
untold number of centuries, brickmak-
ing plants are of necessity built at the
source Of raw material. After the bricks
have been nodded and pressed they are
placed on specially constructed cars and
passed slowly through tunnel oven,
where they are baked, ready for ship
ment. A revolution in brickmaking has
been promised by two Swedish engi-
neers, who have developed what they
call a dry method Of manufacture. BY
the new process, the clay, before using,
is dried at the point of production by
heat or a vacuum, and is then pull
verized. The product, known as clay
metal" can be transported easily to
suitably located factories, and there
again turned into a plastic mass by the
addition of water.
