NEW YOItK (Speclul). 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.

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

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.
