With the steamier i ptoeing sea on

'season they are naturally more eager

lthat they will get the maximum efa-

'timely advice is given to 'owners by an
'expert. He says:
"In general, motor ear 'owners
'should bear in mind that the heat of

and more constant use to which they
;put their cars .at this season of the
;year, causes neore evaporation than
at other times. This •appliee not only
to water in the radiator, but also: to

"During the hot weather months at-
tention should be given frequently to
the radiator; the owner should see
that it is kept filled and at intervals it
should be flushed out and filled with
clean water. In eonneetion with effi-
cient operation of the cooling sys-

"Please, sir, will you whip me if I ask
