5 Be Overheated,
A majority of Lisew drivers, and s
surprisingly large ' percentage of sea
soned motorists, will do more" to harm
a new. automobile engine in the first
200 miles' of driving than In the folr
lowing 2000 'miles, according to A.
C. Stevens, manager in charge'of the
Portland branch of the Winton Motor
Car company.
'"No matter how carefully an engine
may be built, it requires a certain
'amount of running to get the parts
thorougly ! worked in, and the treat
ment given the motor during' its first
ZOO miles of driving governs, to a
large extent, its future service.
'There la a strong temptation that
even seasoned motorists succumb to
to attempt a good many 'stunts' dur
ing the first two or three days' driv
ing that will be Seldom repeated
throughput .a season. The man ' who
buys a new car is generally as eager
to 'see what she will do' as is a young
ster to take a watch apart to find out
what makes it tick.
"Aboutsthe first thing tested Is the
horse on this kind of road; he Is fonder of mud and
speed of the ij:ar," and on a nice, level
ijiece of roadj the throttle is opened
dp wide. A stjiff hill or a bit of heavy
road is the neit thing in order, or, per
haps;, it Is a long trip with a full load
of passengers,! during which the new
motor is subjected , to as many testa
as the driver can think of.
"Tjhe strains to which the work
ing parts are puti while they are still
'arrepln' too freauntlv result in over
heating, with the attendant train of
troubles that materially shorten the
service given
by the motor and make
the ! maintenance and operating cost
much ,gr;eater
than it need be.
If mbtorlstfe would learn to restrict
t;heinselyes to .a speed of 15 or 18
