Honey is year-around friend OF

since it has higher boiling point
than water.
This rather unusual use of honey
is not uncommon in the west, ac-
cording to j. l. Hambleton, bee spe-
cialist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. In noun
famous countries where motors ma
turally overhead. and in dry regions
where water along the roadside Is
scarce, honey is particularly useful
in radiators. One man is known to
have used the same solution in his
radiator for seven or eight years.
While there are advantages in
having honey in the radiator water,
there are likewise disadvantages.
Honey will pass through openings
tco small for water. This means
that gaskets and radiator hose con-
nections on a car must be very
tight If honey is to be used. Other
wise the honey might leak into the
cylinders and cause serious DAM
