The great dancer In summer la over heatlnf and the great dAiujer In winter la over cooling; A few hlnta at the preaent time juat aa winter la approaching should be noted Few motorists realise why an automobile engine does not pull well when oold It muat be understood that It la a heat engine and that It la the expansion of the burning; of gas In the cylinder which rumlshes the power Tfle more this gaa expands the more push or power the pleton receives The heat necessary for this expansion is produced by the burning of the mixture of gasoline and air after It la compressed In the cylinder The temperature of the resulting; flame is between 2 000 and 3 000 degrees Fahrenheit Natural ly this causes an enormous pressure on the piston but If any of the heat Is lost, and so Is not used In expanding the gas, the resulting pressure drops with attending loss cf power When the engine Is first started the cylinder head and walls are cold, likewise the alves and piston head and the water in the cooling system Most of the heat units must be lost In warming these parts, and so the engine lack power This explains why tha engine does not develop Ita full power until It has been run several minutes, tha greatest efficiency being obtained when tha engine Is hot Even with the most efficient systems the power loss approximates to per cent which, unfortunately Is unavoidable with tha Internal combustion type motor To prevent excessive loss at the start soma systems use thermostats to control the water flow, preventing It from passing Into the radiator until It has warmed the engine to tha proper temperature Others us a set of adjustable louvers In front ef tha radiator to allow sometimes mora and sometimes less air to pass through tha radiator Thla may be an automatic control by thermostat or may be controlled by the driver from the seat All these interna are designed ta heat tha engine rapidly at the start, and ao save time and gasoline. It is svldent that cvercoollng prevents the engine from developing Its full power thus wasting gaaollne. In hill climbing the loss of power becomes more serious. If the car cannot make it In high gear tha Intermediate la used running the engine at a mora rapid rate than in high gear, arid ao waatlng still mora gaaollne. Apart from thla It delays the progress of th oar which is sometimes important Hera Is where a car with adjustable louvers has an advantage over one not similarly equipped In oold weather the louvers may be very nearly closed thus taking away a minimum amount of heat watching carefully of course to nee that no steam cornea from radiator cap or overflow tube.

If the radiator Is not provided with adjustable louvers, ua a piece aheet metal, cardboard, or flbreboard. cutting off half, of mora of the radiating surfaoe. Some driven attach the strip In front of tha radiator, but thla detracts from the appear anoe of th car Place it back of the radiator but do not wire It to th tubes aa It will start them leaking sooner or later Usually there are holes In the strip on which the hood rests which may be used, or holes may be made there without harm The metal strip la apt to noisy, cardboard la too readily broken, ao that flbreboard would seem to be tha best material. It may be obtained at large hardware stores To prevent freealng Is also Important There are many auto freese preparations on, tha market, but they are apt to contain chlorine, which attack tna solder In the radiator, causing serious tULKl to develop Olyeerlna la seme times used, but It rote th rubber boat at top and bottom of th radiator. Alcohol Is tha only substance which slow not harm any part of th system, but ha ita disadvantages.

It lower th boiling point of th water, and evaporates readily, so that mora ha to be added from time to time. Use about one fourth alcohol for a climate Ilk that of New Tork and about one third for places further north. Add another pint occasionally Keep the oar In a warm garage over night not merely to prevent freealng but to make starting easier. Also blanket the radiator carefully, covering every part as that la the most likely to freeia. 3 AUTOEFFICINCY Things the Motonrt Should Wdtch on His Machine.
