By giving due .attention to' the lubrication; and cooling systems, especially .'with out an inconvenience or difficul ty, autoists can drive their, cars . despite the coldest weather, ac cording to the Hupmobile dealer in this section. ,, - : ';.. ; ; 'Of first Importance Is the' care of the radiator.". Mr, Kirkwood points out. "Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and can ex pand with such force that it is apt to crack a radiator, with expense and inconvenience to the .'owner. To prevent this condition the wa ter should be drained .when the cool weather first sets In and the system filled with antl-freere sd ution. Undoubtedly the most pop ular solutions are distilled glycer ine and alcohoL Alcohol costs less but because it vaporizes . rapidly at operating temperatures of the motor, the alcohol must be re plenished frequently. Distilled glycerine, on the other hand, Is more expensive per. gallon, but Bince it does not Vaporise, only water need be added at regular Intervals. At the end of the sea son, it can be . drained and set aside for next winter. With any solution. It is -necessary, to have it tested for freezing point to suit the 'climate"-"" "Although the lubrication' sys tem Is not sV liable to freete, it, is important thai "a winter"! ubrl cant be used where the tempera ture is exceptionally low.

The first precaution is to make sure that the water in the cooling system cannot freeze." A neglect of this detail until after the first sudden cold, snap may result in hundreds of dolars of expense for electric welding of the 'engine where the Internal ice has burst it.

There are setters! new ones however, including glycerine. wnose characteristics are not so well known but which have much to recommend thenar for .engine protection in cold weather. .. ' Glycerine, a by-product of soap manufacture, has been suspected of a tendency to eat into metal and rubber, hose connections. This is not true,, according, to a lengh thy report by the U. & bureau of standards, when the glycerine is chemically, pure neutral type, free from adds and alkalis, as prepar ed for radiator use by the larger sOan makers. The fallacv 1st doubt less due to the fact that glycerine wiit seep oui, oi uny openings through ; which water could , not pass, or. If It did pass would be evaporated . Immediately by the engine heat and tha air., , , c " ? Glycerine ; will not .evaporate immediately -and therein lies one of . Its greatest, values to the motorist- You can fill your radiator with the proper solution of glycer ine anti-f reese solution and water and never give it another, thought throughout the winter except to replenish-with, a pint or so of wa ter every few weeks. . . X - The gTeat precaution that must be taken before glycerine is put In la to have the water circulation system completely tightened up and if necessary, new., nose con nections installed. I Several ' other advantages of glycerine ' are that it has an ex tremely low freezing point, a boil ing point-somewhat higher than water so it will not cause engine overheating, it will not harm .body finish at all and is free from ob jectionable odor. Its flow, even in the coldest weather, never becom ea sluggish enough to interfere with the cooling properties of the solution. - There are several other com mercial antifreeze mixtures on the market which have . similar ad vantages but which nave -as bases other chemical compounds. 7 - Racing : an engine to get It warmed up on a cold morning and running witn 'open: choke are two of the. bight crimes of motoring K which are costing car owners mil lions oz dollars annuauy. wnen the engine is cold the oil in it" is more or less congealed and, -for several minutes after the start, many -of the parts are rubbing against each other practically with out lubrication, a highly danger ous condition for cylinder walls pistons, bearings and other ex pensive parts.

"Never Never Land." the rreat desert of Australia, so named be cause it never, never rains there. has been penetrated and explored for possible Detr oleum resnnrn by a party of American geologists using a Graham Brothers one-ton truck, accord! ne to R. E. Allen. head of the expedition, who has just returned to the United States In a recital of experiences that for oddity and interest compare with a chapter from the Arabian Nights. Allen expressed himself as being delighted at the com pietely satisfactory performance of the one-ton Graham Brothers truck employed as transport for tne expedition. I was prepared for dependability," he said, hav ing used Graham Brothers trucks in oil field work before, but the exceptional performance of this truck in, rough- country much the same as Roy Chapman Andrews traversed In the Gobi desert with his Dodge Brothers caravan, was truly remarkable. "In 16 month." Mr. Allen said "we traversed an area as large as California, covering 22,000 miles in all. Despite the heavy load of a ton of gas. 20 gallons of oil and water, and all food, bedding and equipment, the sturdy truck car ried on without the slightest me- hcanlcal complaint, with the re markable average of IS miles to the English gallon of petrol, and with petrol at 65 cents per gallon mis economy was an enormous saving factor. "Australia," he continued, "is about as large as the United States, and has for the center, the dreaded 'Dead Heart or never never land which has been little if at all explored. The scarcity of water in this parched desert, fo much of it resembles the most arid portions of our so-called great American desert, is incon ctivable and can be realized only 7 Amazing Results Obtained in the Treat mene W Diabfes, Kidney aindf Bladder Disorders, Eczema, Rheumatism, Diges tive Troubles, Cancer, High Blood Pres sure, Hardening of the Arteries, Etc We have the only genuine Magnetic Eocene water known In the world.
