WINTER DRIVING AND CARE OF CAR THE CAB IS TOO VALUABLE AN , INVESTMENT TO DISCARD FOR < A PART OF YEAR OR TO RISK ( DAMAGE FROM THE LACK OF , PROPER CARE. j t Hie climate has of recent years t been so moderate and, generally j speaking, free from severe snow- | storms that there have been compar- i ativedv very few periods ^then it ( was not practicable to drive motor 'j cars with comfort and pleasure- The ) day of storing cans for the winter is i therefore past, and motorists are i more generally securing the all-year- i round pleasure of their cars to which i they are entitled. Even in such extremes of cold weather as may on rare occasion be experienced, entire comfort and sat _ isfactory car operation con— be se cured as the result of modern con- i etruction of cars, mostly equipped , with heating devices, body enclosures, i etc., and with engines capable of use t ing low grades of fuel not affected , by tempature as weie the former" , higher tests of fuel- li All modern motors are designed to \ carry fuel mixtures to the combustion chamber at the proper heat, regardless of climatac conditions, and,;: from the standpoint of the motor < alone, the ear will run as satisfactor- < . ily at zero as at summer heat. t Advisable Precautions 1 Of • course, certain extra precau- i tiorvs must be taken in cold weather I to insure as near uniform motor tern- 1 perafcure as possible, as motors arc i designed to operate efficiently at a i fixed moderate temperature This ' can be approximated %y covering or I protecting the radiators. Some manufacturers provide cars equipped with a shutter in front of the radiators, either controlled by hand or by I ■the thermostat When not part of car epuipment, various radiator shut- . tors can be procured form accessorystores - It is generally recommended j that oars equipped with thermosyphon cooling systems disconnect 1 _ • the fan in winter to prevent freezing directly behind the fanOutdoor Protect ion Cars left standing in the cold for ' an hour or more should be /covered with radiator or hood covers, pro- 1 curable at accessory stors- If the car 1 is not so protected, at least the lower part of the radiator should be coy- 1 ered with a piece of leather or other suitable material, thus shielding the ' coldest portion of the radiator. ' Anti-freeze Mixture Numerous satisfactory mixtures to ^ prevent freezing of radiators are ] A available at accessory stores anl garages- One popular anti-freeze ' liquid is denatured akhool, which in this climate should be in the propor- . tions of about one-third by volume. In a six -gallon radiator, that is, one gat Ion of denatured alchool to every two gallons of water. As alchool : evaporates more rapidly than water. , the user, on refilling the radiator the second time, should use one half denatured alchool and one-half water, thus preserving the proper rat<o The alchool will not injure any internal part of the radiator. Another 1 anti-freeze material is glycerine, in I the same proportions as described I for denatured alchool- But it n.urt be remembered that glycerine eeuses J rapid deterioration of ruber in the ' radiator connections. Commercial Car Cooling For commercial cars, where odor is oat aa objection, straight undulated kerosene in the radiator, wkh-j out any water, is an excellent cooiing liquid in winterWith the above precautions taken, it is impossible for the radiator to] freeze in this climate. Grease Ik» Use I T^e winter motorist shoul.i uk* ' the precaution to use a lighter grade! of grease -in the rear axle, transmit-] son and grease oops, because f-.fl coagulation of heavier oils in cold '

weather- The motor oil companies & issue charts recommending the char- 9 aoture of oil to be used- P Difficulty In Starting P The difficulty of starting rats- in cold weather has been overcome by modern manufacturers, but owners a of some older cars still occasionlly 8 experience such trouble T his inoon- r venience can usually be remedied by ' removing the spark plugs or opening the pet cocks and dropping in a lialf" teaspaanful mixture of half gasoline 0 and half ether. Then, replacing the 8 plugs or pet cocks, as the case may 0 be, the motor will start off in the v coldest weather. Other methods of the same end are to e fill or partly fill the radiator with hot 1 water, after drawing off a portion of * cold water, or to wrap a rag, soaked in boiling water around the intake manifold. ' Storage Batteries A storage battery -properly charged * will not freeze in zero weather. Keep Gasoline Strainer Clean In cold weather you should be care- ' ful to see that the gasoline strainer, or trap, with which all cars are eq- c uipped, is kept clean so it will not clog and give the water in the gas- 1 oline a chance to freeze, thus cutting J off the flow of gasoline- The strainI er or -trap, whichever is used, should be cleaned frequently. Use of Chains, etc. Non-skid tares are now furnished * 'as standard on most cars, affording * excellent -traction, even without chains, in dry snow. But for ice, ' .chains should foe provided for all four % (wheels; but if this is not possible, it s Ls advisable to put chains on one . front wheel and on the diagonally op- ^ posite rear wheel- If caught on the ix>ad without dhains in deep snow, | , and you find it difficult or impossible ; to pull out, -wrap rope around or tie • bags around the rear tires, - and you will get excellent, effective | traction. : Closed Car Protection ■ I The construction of modern closed J : cars is such that comfort can be enjoyed even in extremely cold weather- ■ They are fitted vyith close-fitting win f I j dows and doors, and must cars a- e ' provided with heaters utilizing the ; exhaust gas, thus dispensing with the • use of heavy wraps and robes if de- i sired-- Similar provision' is also made ■ by some manufacturers for the ton- . neaus of open cars, to keep the feet , I tram, the passengers in the front seat being kept warm by the heat j : from the engine- The hea'ing pro- , . visions for closed caie have so in- j . creased their popularity that it is t , now estimated that 40 per cent, of ; , cars sold are of this type, indicating the public now- appreciates that the j automobile is an all-year-round ne- , ( cessity that can be used -with equal comfort in any season. This coiuli- | tion appeals particularly to st-buifoan . people, who are more dependent on J | their- care for transportation -than ^ city dwellers for all-year use. The (roads in winter time are. freer of traffic than at other seasons, making • touring a greater pleasure in that j • respect than at other seasons. Keeping Garage Warm As to garage protection for the car . in winter, there are numerous heat ing devices for the private garage, using gasoline, electricity or ooal oil, . not only keeping the engine warm, r i but heating the entire garage in case i j you have any work to be done there: j ' But if heating the entire garage is t ' too expensive, an ordinary kerosene . i stove, mounted on a soap box, can be , ' placed in front of the radiator to ; keep the motor from freezing even •without £ay anti- freeze mixture. r For garages equipped with electric . lighting, you can uflfe a ortable elec- . jtric cord attached to a carton lamp, - ; laced under the hood arw\ resting j against the radiator, which, if covert ed with a blanket. wiH keep the mo- , I tor warm to the hand in zero weather- ; While these suggestions are more or less general in character, they cov- • cr most of the practical and simple : 1 methods of keeping the car and pas - j seogers . warm in cold weather.
