DRIVERS SHOULD KEEP RADIATOR CELLS OPEN Haynes Automobile Company Issues Bulletin on Motor Car Cool- ing System. To secure the best results from a motor car cooling system the owner should take care to keep the radi- ator cells free from foreign matter, particularly when he is driving over muddy roads, or on dusty highways, is the text of the latest technical bulletin issued by the Haynes Auto- mobile company. If the trip is at all long, the ac- cumulation of dust, dirt and mud pel- iets, driven to a lodging place by the motion of the car, sériously impairs radiation, by retaining the heat the radiator core would ordinarily dissi- pate in the air. An examination of only a limited number of motor cars will reveal radiator interstices that are so tightly packed with particles of earth tha tthey can play no part | in reducing the temperature of the water system. The quickest and best way to cor- rect the evil is to play a hose with considerable water pressure on the radiator for a few minutes at each watering place, and the ability of the car to rid itself of its excess thermal load will be accordingly increased. Care should be exercises that the foreign matter is not left clinging to the radiator core as sticky mud. At stopping places, where it is not possible to take this precuman; merely brushing off the radiator from time to time with a stiff brush ve sweeping with a broom will material- ly simplify the cooling problem. EEE Es | Exhaust Echoes HE central department's motor Truck division is complete. It is the first complete unit .of its class in the country. [ Four companies originally had been © requested by Washington from the central department, but with the completion of that allotment permis- sion was given to recruit two other companies. This was done last week in less than forty-eight hours, and with 70 per cent of the applicants refused. There are thirty-six University of | Illinois graduates in the corps, eight | from the University of Chicago, nine- teen from Northwestern university, and more than- universities and colleges. It is expected the unit will be cz alled | on to accompany Gen. Pershing to | France because of the driving experi- ence of the officers and men. Lieut. Ben L. Maloney, who was promoted from the militia to the regular serv- ice on recommendation of the late | Gen Funston, will lead the unit with Col. Daniel McCarthy. Where the starting crank is not handy and the self-starter fails to work, the motor may be started by jacking up one rear wheel, throwing | off the brake, and setting the gears at direct drive. By turning the wheel the motor will be operated in same manner as when crank was used. Caution: Do not lower jack until clutch is neutral. Manufacturers are beginning to! make something attractive out of the rear paneling of automobile tops. Designs have been made for the mica so as to give an indication of what car it is. Either it is the initial of the car name or else a shield or some other trademark device. Missouri and Kansas have both passed new road laws during the re- cent sessions of their legislatures, and work under them is already starting. Missouri has made longer steps forward toward good roads than ever in her history. It doesn't follow because a fellow has spent his spare time reading of the exploits of Daredevil Dick that |} he will walk up cheerfully ad regis- ter for conscription. a score from other PROPOSED WAR TAX TO BOOST THE COST OF TIRES | Sizes and Styles Are Hard to Get and New Mark Set in Covering First 6,000 Prices Often Withdrawn. The tire men are all agreed that | tires are bound to be higher and that | this is the time to stock up. They | blazing a route for the National have trouble in getting some sizes' and styles and on many makes they cannot get a price except for de- livery the same day. One reason for the expected ad- vance is the proposed new tax on tires. If this is passed tires will be advanced at least the same amount the day the tax goes into effect. | There is a great scarcity of fabric and prices on this have already ad- vanced over fifty per cent, due in part to the government's large re- quirements of duck and canvas. The tire factories complain that help is scarce and high and altogether they make out a perfect case why tires will be higher. | SB.=0 0. Cincinnati Race. The Cincinnati race is to be a 250 mile affair for prize money aggre- gating $29,000. A field of thirty starters is reported as assured by the elimination trials, which required a speed of ninety miles an hour to qualify. With the exception of Dario Resta, who insists he has retired, all the American racing notables are on the list. Read Our Bond Announcement.

In the first 6,000 miles of the jour- {ney of the Saxon roadster which is Boundary highway, the average mile- age on a gallon of gasoline up to the present time has been 26 miles. This remarkable record of economy in fuel consumption has been made every day for the last two months over some of the roughest roads in| the country and under the worst| weather conditions. The car left | Washingotn at inauguration time and | has been going south and west along the rim of the United States, reach- | ing Los Angeles only recently. The | trip to date has covered the southern | mud roads, the sands of Florida, the alkali of the Mexican border and the mountain trails over the Sierras, and the gasoline consumption has been recorded an daveraged for every foot of the way. 8.0.0.0 De Palma to Race.
