Tho moat importunt precaution to tukc in operating a motor ear during the winter is to avoid loss of fuel und injury to the engine through ,the improper coordination between the radiator shutter and the rad iator heat lndlcutor. Many driv ers keep their shutters closed loo long hi winter driving because they neglect to observe the read ing of the heat Indicator on the radiator cup. This lack of co ordination causes overhcuting of the englno, as easily possible in the winter as in the summer months, with Its consequent wast age of fuel and loss of power, Oo tho other hand, if too little of tho radiutor Is covered, tho en gine will be too cool und there will be resultant poor carburlza tion. , Busollno waste, crank-case dilution and motor carbonizing. Steaming, which Is often a slgn.il of trouble In summer driving, can not be easily detected In winter us the steam condenses as soon as It comes in contact with tile cold ulr und therefore the read ings of the heat Indicator must bo relied upon. If steum were visible on a very cold duy it would generally indicate that the bot tom of tho rudiutor was frozen and no circulation was taking place. MAXY ALTOISTS COI.OK . ItlilXO, SAYS SAVANT Uecause of tljo largo porcentugo of color blindness uniong motor ists. Dr. Knight Dunlup, professor of experimental psychology at Johns Hopkins university, con demns the use of yellow lights and tho present-shudes of red and green in motor' truffle signal sys tems, f Motorists Warned About Air-Cleaners (Continued from J'age One.) fore, that a cleaner must be de signed to take Into account the dis placement and the speed of the engine, as these are tho factors that determlno the quantity ot ulr drawn through tho carburetor. "Ueside tho engine itself, the carburetor must be considered also. A cleaner designed for a carbure tor that draws In the air from the, rear cannot be attached to a car buretpr whoso Intuko faces the front, or vice versa; In either case', the cleaner would bo collecting an excess of. dust because its intake would be facing the uir coming In through the judlutor. "furthermore, sonic carburetors have sevorul air inlets or ports, and on these an ulr-eleaner attached to tho main inlet would clean only a part of the uir taken in. "Before buying un ulr-cleaner, consult tho makers of your car. Kvery actory should willingly ad vise an owner who asks for rec ommendations as to the proper type of cleaner lo be used with any particular model.' In writing, give. the engine number so that tho rac tory may know Just what typo your engine is." u. S. Exports Many Autos, Figures Show .

For Those Who Care What Their Money Buys Dodge Brothers, Inc. have always built a good, sound, long-lived product.. They have never built "yearly, models" and never will. They do not make frequent expensive changes simply to catch the whim of the hour. On the contrary, they devote themselves steadfastly to the improvement of a car that has been good from the very beginning. This process of improvement has now been going on for 11 years. Its influence on the car's appearance and performance has been nothing short of remarkable. Always eminently dependable, it is now also an exceptionally easy riding car. , Always up-to-date, it is now strikingly attractive. Style and smartness stand out in every line. Sheer logic never made the choice more obvious Dodge Brothers Motor Car for those who really care what their money buys. L. C. Smith 5th and Depot Sts. . . . . v
