BY FREDERICK c. RUSSELL.

ONE advantage in being married is
~ that you usually can fix the blame
for the bent fender.
One of the newest things in heating
equipment for the car is a special
heater utilizing steam instead of hot
water. 1t is unusually fast and pro-
vides an abundance Of heat. Instead
of the cooling system being tapped
heating coil is inserted in the exhaust
pipe where temperatures of about 900
degrees Fahrenheit are developed al
most immediately after the engine is
started. Only three-quarters of an
ounce Of water is used. This is con-
verted into steam, rises to the radia-
tor and is famed into the car by an
electric blower Even if the water has
frozen to ice the system is said to func-
tion just the same.
On good authority We learn that no
lock on any modern car can delay
thief more than 10 minutes. The ordi-
nary locking device yields in one and
one-half minutes. Accordingly. many
women are falling into the habit of
reasoning that there is little, if any,
advantage in trying to hitch the fam
lily conveyance to the post. Naturally,
many cars that deserve better treat
ment are being stolen and mishandled.
I am still locking my car because if
it is stolen want the job done by some
one who makes a business of this. An
experienced thief will steal with the
idea of selling his plunder. He knows
and I know that it will bring a higher
price if carefully driven. If I fail to
lock my car, and couple of amateurs
make off with it 1 hope never see it
again. They will probably forget an
engine needs oil. Going around corners
on two wheels and digging into the
pavement with locked brakes won't help
my car materially. I would prefer not
to have it turned back to me after the
usual amateur thief'S JOY riding.
Several women have complained Of
having the motor stall when they are
backing and turning. This is not un-
usual with engines that are equipped
with more sensitive types of carburetorS
and which are adjusted for too low an
idling speed. When turning the car
around the brakes are apt to be applied
just suddenly enough to cause a dis
turbance of the carburetor float or its
air intake valve. Invariably it usually
is necessary to use the choke when re-
Cranking a motor that stalls in this
way.
When a service man comes to your
rescue with an extra car and a toWline
it may be necessary for him to drive
your car while you take the wheel Of
the car providing the tow. If so, bear
Evening star., 1934-01-07

in mind that you must start off very
gently, otherwise the towline will snap.
A toWline, by the way, should be at
tached to basic parts of the car, such
as a cross bar of the frame or an axle,
rather than to the bumpers.
Add to your list of ways to tell
whether or not it is necessary to make
certain requirements the rule that If
the breaker points in the distributor
keep clean the condenser is functioning
properly and do not need to be re-
neWed.
If I were putting my car away fo-
storage during the Winter. to answer
letter from woman reader / would
use some emulsifying oil in the radiator
before draining off the cooling system
The oil would leave coating Of lubri-
cant on the inside of the system, thus
checking rust. Such oil can be pur-
chased at some car service stations
where it is used largely to provide extra
fabrication for water pumps. A pint
of it is sufficient.
One of the penalties for not giving
the car attention that is due 1t is trou-
BILE from gasketS and washers that have
dried out through disuse. No one knows
this better than a woman motorist VINO
permitted her young son to remove and
empty out the filter bowl of the fuel
pump. The gasket had become set In
one particular position and he could
not seem to replace the bowl just the
right way to stop leakage. Had the
filter bowl been removed every month
there would have been no such trouble
He finally made temporary remedy py
smearing some grease on the gasket. II
held until he could replace the gasket
with a new one.
I've cautioned readers about it in
former years, but again it's time to
speak of the steering skid-that special
hazard that comes along in slippery
weather. Don't be trapped into the
predicament of having the car go into
a skid and then be utterly unable to
steer out. of the skid because the front
wheels slide.
Her engine stalled several times be
| fore it finally got down to business, but
this appeared to be little cause for
complaint. One of the other contract
foursome she was driving home observed
that possibly the carburetor needed

the fact that her car did little, if any
stalling. But the hostess remained
composed When the motor died she
quickly stepped on the starter button
! Her patience seemed little short Of
abnormal
Gentlemen may prefer blonds," she
finally remarked, but I prefer motors
that stall a little You see, this gives
the engine a chance to catch up with
itself. 1t compensates for my impa-
tience I'm no engineer, but I can
appreciate that fabrication always lags
a little behind the needs of the motor
during the warming-up process. Stall
a few times and you save yourself re-
pair bills

the propeller for maximum power for
the takeoff, and after the plane is in
the air, with all inertia overcome. the
propeller can be reset for maximum
speed and efficiency. In the past it
was necessary to keep the pitch Of the
propeller set at an average degree which
permitted neither full power for the
takeoff nor full efficiency for flight
This advancement gives additional
safety as well as additional efficiency
to aircraft"
Another device which will go into
general use in 1884, in the opinion Of
the famous flyer, is the wing flap, or
air brake This development, he be-
lieVes, probably will become the out
standing innovation in aviation for
1884.

Should Have Model Airport.

Should Have Model Airport.
1t has been said times without num-
Der, before congressional committees,
Federal departments, among flyers,
among citizens, that the Capital should
have a model airport. Perhaps it
should. But it should have, first of
all, at once, an airport which is safe
and decent. in the conn only accepted
meaning of that overworked word
1t has been suggested that there are
difficulties in the way of work by the
| Public Works Administration or the
| Civil Works Administration on the i'm
! provement of the local airport. There
, is a matter of disputed ownership OF
land. which dates back to the recession
to Virginia of its portion Of the orig

other niceties of law to be considered
They can be settled quickly and could
have been settled long ago Where
/ safety and progress are concerned, legal
| distractions which are capable Of ad-
| justment should constitute no barrier
| The local airport problem has been
| laid before public works and civil
works officials, already noted for their
ability TO act promptly on matters Of
urgency. Here, beyond question, is
such a matter.

The second point commented upon in the editorial is MT Ickes' statement that the coal industry "slept on its rights" This phrase, the Tribune points out, is mean ingless, saying:
 "The phrase is meapingless un- less it is assumed that miners and mine owners had been notified that their property and jobs were in jeopardy. Of course, no such notice, formal or informal, was given. The coal industry was scarcely aware of it's jeopardy until after the gov ernment had contracted to build the dam. *""The reference to rights slept upon is useful re- hinder to citizens generally that in these days of government by inn pulses they must regard themselves as continually on notice that the carpet is about to be pulled from under them"
