Cooling Water Temperature. The best temperature for the cool- ing water, under mormal operafing } conditions for the ordinary type of motor car 'engine, is somewhere ar- ound 170 degrees Fahrenheit. It is well to remember this, especially in cold weather when radiators are par- tially covered and hoods are bundled up. The boiling temperature of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, so the cooling system is so designed that the water temperature is kept belbw this point. Perhaps the best range of tem- perature, taking ipto- comsideration all driving conditions, is from 170 to 200 degrees, giving sufficient margin under the boiling point. In the winter time do not restrict the flow of air through the radiator to such an extent that you exceed the upper limit of this range, and re- member the most efficient operating temperature as nearly as possible. The radiator thermometer becqmes a very valuable accessory in lola weather, for 'it affords an accurate check on the hood and radiator cov= I~ ers. Examine Fan Belt, One common cause of engine pver- heating is the poor operating condi- tion of the fan, due to the belt driv- ing it being too loose and slighing on the pulleys, thus driving fan at a much slower speed th. in- tendgd. Most engines have pi®vision for adjusting the belt tension by set- ting the fan shaft slightly higher, which lengthens the distance between pulléy centres and takes up the belt slack, Sometimes the belt is badly soaked with 'oil or coated with grease to such an extent that ab- normal] slipping cannot be prevented, Such a belt should be cleaned. There should, of course, be a slight slip- page of the belt, because one which } is too tight will be subject to undue wear, but there is a hapty medium tension which common sense will dic- tate, A ii sa SPF 23 000% 20 90 EL « CAR LASTS LONGER. % -- # Your car will live longer if % you will take care of its parts # regularly.

NEGLECT CAUSES | TIRE TROUBLES { Seventy-five per cent. of the trou- {ble with tires is caused by neglect. | Cuts and pin-holes are passed over as {the merest trifles, yet their neglect is the cause of much of the rapid | wearing out of the tires. A cut cr hole, extending to the fabric, forms {an excellent place for moisture or {sand to accumulate. Sand, imbed- {ded in cuts or holes, will gradually | work in all directions, and, slow ab- jrasion, will cut the tread loose from the fabric, and soon the inevitable blow-out occurs. The frequent in- spection of tires, and the immediate [ repair of even the smallest cut, wil | materially help in lengthening tne {life of the tire. The proper way to apply the filler or tire dough is to clean the hole or cut with gasoline. After it has dried, apply a good air- {drying rubber cement. After the ce- ment has dried, the dough is rolled between the fingers and then forced into the cut. It should be allowed to stand for some time, over night it possible, before again using the tire. If the cut or hole is too large, the best method, perhaps, would be in NO MORE TIRE TROUBLE If you use MAXOTIRES and Tubes with WOOD'S AIR TITHE VALVES.
