To obtain maximum efficieney froM the low gravity gaseline now being used, the air entering the earburetor Should be inroderately heated. In hot weathela the normal air temperature is high enough. Provision is made, however, for heating the air entering the carburetor in eold weather. The temperature is regulated by a sleeve over the carburetor air intake, which should be closed during the winter months. It evill assist greatly in ap- proxintating the summer temperature of the motor if the radiator over is used as mentioned ahtwe. In starting the motor, make sure that the choke is pulled all the way out until the motor starts, then push it in slightly until the motor warms up but do not have it even partly out longer than is neceseary. Do not race an engine to warm it up, run it at an engine speed approximathag twenty miles per hour. • IIOW TO PROTECT MOTOR C eti-freeze selutitna Before tiny nti-Srreeze solatioe is need, the water eirctelating system should be inspected for leaks, and repairs. made, if nece•s- try.

The Only satisfactory solution of Which I know is alcohol and water. Denatured alcohol is preferred, but wood aleohol can be used. Wood alco- hol often contains free acetie aeid and should never be used =less it is known to be free from aeid. If acid is present, damage to the radiator will result. The following table shows different- ly proportioned mixtures with teraper- atures at which the selution will begin to freeze: ; Ten per cent. denatured alcohol and •90 per cent. water wi'S begin to freeze t at 27 degrees Fahr. Twenty per centdenatured alcohol and 80 per cent. water will begin toi freeze at 19 degrees. Thirty per cent. denatured alcohol and 70 per cent. water -will begin to freeze at 10 degrees. Forty per cent. denatured alcohol and sixty per cent. water will begin to freeze at 2 below zero, Fifty per cent. denatured alcohol and 50 per cent. water wEl begin to freeze at 18 below zero. Glycerine is sometimes used with aleohol to reduce the evaporation to a minimum. However, it is rather ex- pensive and also has a tendency to damage the rubber hose connections. If glycerine is used, mix the alcohol and glycerine in equal propertions and use this mixture, in the same percent- age as alcohol in the above table. I It must be rerctembered that it is neccssary to add alcohol from time to time to replace what is lost due to evaporation. Whenever necessary to fill the radiator, to replace loss by, eva.peration, use a mixture of 40 per centwater and 60 per cent. akohol. • AN BELT ADJUSTIVIENT.

The motor oil should be drained more frequently in winter than in steamier, as the cold temperature aggravates the dilution of the oil by rav,* fuel, especially when the choke is kept closed too long. It is not advisable to drive a car until after the motor has been turning over at a rate of speed approximating twenty miles per hour long enough to give the oil a chance to get well into all of the working parts. We recommend under average con- ditions, the • oil bedrained approxi- mately every 500 miles in order •to guard against exeessive wear of the bearings ar cylinder walls. Cars in short -trip service in 'cold' weather, on account of extreme dilu- tion of the oil, should have the motor oil changed every 300 to 500 miles. If the car is not driven this far in a month the oil should be changed once a month regardless of mileage. The all pan should be removed and washed out with kerosene occasionally in order to prevent any accumulation of sediment which might have a detri- mental effect upon the bearings. Another condition which must be guarded against in wieter is the for- mation of water in the crankcase. A slight formation of water is some- • thing which is tural and cannot be prevented. It is aggravated, however, by the injudicious use of the choke, frequent starting and stopping of the motor as might be occasioned by nuni- erou short drives, and failure to change the 'motor oil at proper inter- -_ • - (To be concluded.)

Getting the grain to world markets requires an organ- ized effort that can hardly be appres elated by those not intimately connects ed with the work, but the fact that as much as four and five million bushels have been shipped from Port Arthur and Fort William in one day by lake boats gives some indieation of the enormous volume handled.
