These operations should be carried out
in preparing for "anti-freeze" solu-
ton.
2. The carburetor should be cleaned
and properly adjusted for cold
weather driving. Very often water
which has settled in the bottom of
the carburetor may cause q great deal
of trouble due to freezing. This might
easily be avoided. The fuel line should
also be properly blown out.
Check Ignition System.
3. TIE ignition system should be
thoroughly gone over: points cleaned
and adjusted; coil and condenser
tested and the spark plugs should be
cleaned and properly adjusted. These
operations will tend to give the best
ignition efficiency, and consequently
make starting much easier on cold
mornings.
4. The battery, generator and
starter should be thoroughly checked.
Be sure there is plenty of water in
the battery and that the battery cables
are properly frightened. The generator
and starter connections should also be
properly frightened. The charging rate
of the generator should be increased
In order to take care of the extra
drainage on the battery due to Winter
starting and more night driving.
5. The oil in the transmission and
differential should be checked and If
necessary changed to a lighter grade.
You will find that all the larger COM
panies have placed on the market a
Winter grade gear lubricant which Is
highly preferred for Winter driving.
6. BY all means, consult your serv-
ice station man regarding the grade
of crankcase oil recommended for your
car during Winter weather. This is
very important as your car will be
much harder to start If improper oil
is used and serious damage may result
after starting. even possibly burnt

extremely cold spell last year one OF
our members found that while his car
was being "towed" to start-the cam
shaft broke. This was due to the oil
in the crankcase being too heavy. An
other member, after starting his car
burnt out a connecting rod bearing.
This was caused by heavy oil and

TOR the second time America
IL awards the title of "the most
beautiful thing on wheels" to losc-

to Pontiac. The famous Silver Streak
is still the smartest of all new notes
in motor car styling. For 1886 it adds
distinction to cars that, in every line
and detail, are eren more beautiful
than before!
And that's only one reason why
crowds form wherever 1896 Pontiac
appears. America's most distin-
guished lo,c-priced cars are built to
last 100, 900 miles and everybody
naturally wants to know how Pontiac
reaches this new peak of depend

transport a car across the ocean and
motor in foreign countries as cheaply
or even cheaper than he could travel
by train. The greater mobility afford
ed by the automobile and the freedom
from following any fixed schedule en-
joyed by the motorist also have been
factors in stimulating foreign motor
ing.
In addition, agreements have been
worked out whereby it is possible to
secure customs documents before leav-
ing this country, and international
boundaries abroad can now be crossed
with minimum of red tape through
agreements worked out by the A. A. A.
with foreign motor clubs and foreign
governments Also the German and
italian governments have granted the
right to issue in this country driving
permits, circulation certificates and
international license plates. and 1t Is
hoped that such arrangements can
shortly be put into effect with other
European governments.
Border Travel Greater.
Travel over the borders both to the
. north and south was substantially
greater than last year. The Canadian
government has spent more than
S2,00OO0O in an endeavor to attract
tourist trade, and anticipated that
tourist business would exceed $780,
100000 in 1885. The Pan-American
Highway to Mexico City was opened
up temporarily during the Summer
and then closed down on the other
side of Monterey while blasting and
other finishing touches were COM
pleted, but is scheduled to be open for
all-weather travel early in the Winter.
1t is expected that a large stream of
travel will move over this highway
during the coming months.
In the field of touring within the
boundaries of the United States, ad-
vance figures reveal an all-time out
pouring of some 100000 people va
cationing a-wheel and a record-break-
ing expenditure of $4,000,000, 900.
From every section Of the country and
from every enterprise catering to the
tourist trade come reports of increased
volume and larger per capita expendi-
lures.
Affiliated motor clubs throughout
the country unanimously report ex-
pansion in the number of requests for
routing and touring information, the
rates of gain ranging all the way from
8 to rs per cent, with the average in
crease being about Is or 16 per cent

Over 100000 people visited the ma
tional parks, an increase of Is per
cent over 1884, while preliminary es-
Inmates indicate gain of between IS
and 20 per. cent in the number of Wis
itors to the national forests.
Washington Contributes.
The City of Washington. the mecca
toward which nearly every tourist
sooner or later guides his way, not
only experienced gain in the number
of visitors, but also contributed in no
small way to the stream of outbound
travel.
Washington, indeed, is probably one
of the most travel-conscious communi-
ties in the Nation. 1t ranks third
among the States in respect to per
capita car ownership, there being one
automobile registered in the District

with fewer hours of daylight. there
is q great increase in the volume of
driving during hours of twilight and
dark, the most dangerous driving hours
Of the day." the A. A. A. statement de-
clared.
Every motorist should give partic-
ular attention to his headlights to see
that they are properly adjusted and
kept always clean; and dust and dirt
should be removed periodically from
the windshield. Brakes should also be
given careful testing for Winter
driving.
Skid Chains Recommended.
when there is snow or Ice on the
streets, safety can be assured only by
equipping the wheels with skid
chains.
Approach of colder weather also
requires a special care OF the car to
prevent breakdown. Experience has
proved that the few dollars spent in
preparing the car for Winter driving
represent only small outlay as COM
pared with the costs that will result
from negligence In this regard"
Following are the operations that
should be carried out to adjust the car
properly for Winter driving:

drained and thoroughly cleaned. pref

be checked and frightened to prevent
possible leakage. The water pump
should be carefully checked, as very
often leakage occurs here and does not
show up unless the car is running.

Association.
An automobile show has become an
annual institution at the Nations
Capital, not only because 1t stimulates
trade interest, but also for the obvious
advantages it affords to every mo-
torist. At the Sixteenth Annual Auto
mobile Show Of Washington, gathered
under one roof, will be found the
newest models Of practically every
trade name motor vehicle sold In the
District of Columbia, thereby giving
any one an opportunity for COM
parison. otherwise obtainable only by
time-taking visits from the show room
of one dealer to another. In seeing
such an exhibit in the course OF
leisurely hour or so. the motorist can
learn more about the modern motor
car than could be acquired in whole
days.
Sixty-five motor vehicles of various
body types, representing the 1886
products of % different trade names,
will be on view at the automobile
show, which opened yesterday and
Su continue until November 9, at
S\Salvert Exhibit Hall, located op-
the ~ Shoreham Hotel, at 270l
ne.s. 1y3et.
Every motorist is interested in the
difference between the automobile he
is driving and the new models. 1t
has been found that many pointers
on driving can be picked up from
comparative information obtained at
the auto show, leading to more eco
nomical and safe driving, which was
not acquired when the owner made
his first purchase of an automobile.
At this years auto show, the safety
features of the 1886 models will be
stressed by all exhibitors. National
Safety Council statistics have shown
that in "a per cent of all accidents
cars were in good mechanical con-
dition-but that in many instances

I am sure that Washington's Six

prove to be one Of the greatest auto

Back to Right Is Accident Cause.
When overtaking another car pro-
ceeding in the same direction, pass at
a safe distance to the left and do not
again drive to the right side of the
roadway until clear of the car which
you have just overtaken. Cutting in
too quickly under such conditions is
one of the leading causes Of serious
traffic accidents.

Auburn does not depend upon one
