some ports parts of the country count the climate ChIOdo Is so mil mill J that problems winter driving presents no lems E Even Esen en In the coldest climates climate the th practice of putting the tho car up for the tho frigid term Is Where hero the thermometer registers below zero zorO and heavy y snows whore where fall where condi condi- conditions conditions conditions arc are the II worst

the tho cooling system the second Is a device de for sup sup- supplying supplying sup supplying plying heat to the mixture before ad admission au- au mission to the tho cylinders Many things have hae been tried for making the cooling system freeze freeze- proof The most common are salt sail glycerine and alcohol Anyone Any one of these In the proper proportion wil Insure against freezing The They are not equally desirable however Salt has hasa hasa a 0 tendency to set up electrolytic a- a ac action tion where Iron and brass parts ports are combIned In the cooling system hut but four pounds of silt to the 10 gallon II on will gh e a solution which will not until 17 degree below zero Fahren Fahren- Fahrenheit Fahrenheit heit heit Is reached Glycerine will keep the water from freezing but It Is e and If It rubber hose Is used to cylinder connect the radiator and the cyl- cyl cyl inder pipes glycerine will cause It to dee om decompose pose rapidly Denatured alcohol probably I is th the best to use mixed with water eater ateI in pro pro- proportion proportion pro proportion i portion as the cold to be expected may demand T Twenty enty per cent of alcohol will give protection to 5 degrees above zero 30 per cent to 9 degree below zero and 3 35 Ii per cent to 16 degrees below The owner must not make malee the tho error of o using using- a mixture which will protect him only from the tho average low temperature of his locality Probably n II combination of alcohol and glycerine will vill suit the particular owner a little better belter than alcohol alone since there Is less evaporation and a single dose of glycerine will nill m la last t the entire season only alcohol and ateI needing to he added to replace that boiled away aay or evaporated o Do- Do Denatured De Denatured natured alcohol bolls boils at about degrees while water bolls boils at de- de degrees degrees de degrees grees therefore the alcohol will wille e more quickly than the tho isa- isa wa water ter teI and when hen refilling the radiator a solution of o 75 per- per percent cent alcohol to 26 25 per cent water should be used Wood alcohol balls bails At t About degrees and therefore Is not as good for a freezing anon non freezing mixture as denatured al- al alcohol al alcohol cohol cobol Half alcohol and half gl glycerine cerIne me Ine ine added to the water raises the boil boil- boiling boil boiling ing point of ot the solution so that e ar evaporation oration Is lessened and this mixture Is especially good where the car Is equIpped with a 0 thermostat to the temperature of the cooling me- me med me medium d in m Another thing which must be taken Into account Is 15 warming arming the carburetor carburetor rotor mixing chamber and the Intake pipe so that the gasoline will Ize Ize and form an explosive mixture Modern cars are aIs provided pro with means for accomplishing this when the en- en engine engino en engine gine gino has hns started but the hot water packet and the hot-air hot furnace depend upon the warmed up engine for their availability and for starting other means must be devised Th There re arc are various sarious devices de for tor heat heat- ing heating the carburetor and Intake mani mani- manifold fold while the engine Is warming up There Is an electric heater where here hero one I has current In the garage and other was of accomplishing the sam

Is wire to carry a squirt can for the purpose of introducing small quantities of gasoline Into the cylinders through a II piece of saturated with gasoline from the car car car- carburetor drain cock and squeezed ove the tho tho ove-tho priming cup will do the trick If I I there are no priming cups It means takIng out the tho spark plugs When It b becomes comes very sery cold radiator CO are a II

A blanket a bag even a ne newspaper spa per or wrapping paper tied on will work properly until better belter provision can be made J I I 1 |
