SERBIANS LETTING THEIR GUN COOL General Roques, The French minister of war, is walking in front of the Patents Wood Preserver. Two Clevelanders have patented a powdered compound for preserving railroad ties, fence posts, telegraph and telephone poles and timbers simi- larly exposed to rigorous weather con- ditions. To preserve a given plece of wood, holes are bored from four to six inches deep and 36 inches apart and {filled with the compound, after which the holes are closed with one and a half- inch wood plugs. The powder, accord- ing to the patentees, L. Cretsinger and J. A. Workman, 875 Herrick road N. E., can be applied either before or after the poles have been put In use and will preserve the life of the tim-, ber from five to eight years.

Use Rich Gas Mixture in Starting Mo- tor on Cold Days—Provide Anti- freezing Solution for the Radiator. Every year motorists find them- selyes overlooking the fact that Jack Frost is no respector of persons and automobiles and that he will go out of his way to y his respects to the | radiator and congealing the water therein—and in the water jackets of the cylinders—cause a pretty re: bill and deny the owner the use of his / car for a week or more. Pointing out how owners can get the most serv and pleasure out of their cars during the winter months, an expert said: “The first fall of snow no longer is viewed with alarm by motorcar own- | ers—it no longer is the signal for them to put their cars away until} spring. More and more car owners | are coming to realize that in keeping their cars in dead storage for three or four months every year they are carrying an idle investment, besides | doing the car more harm than good. | Disuse breeds depreciation as surely as does misuse, “On cold days help your starting motor by providing a rich gas mix- ture. Prime the carburetor in the usual way, or, better still, choke the air inlet. ome cars have this cuar- buretor adjustment plunger conven- lently located on dash. Not all of the gasoline in the rich mixture will reach the cylinder—much of it will condense on the cold walls of the intake mani- fold. So you will understand why It is wise to provide as rich a mixture at the carburetor as is possible, sad the careful owner will take this means of removing a good share of the burden from his battery. “Take warning now and provide yourself with a few gallons of dena- tured alcohol and when the weather turns in a decided manner feed a ttle Nato the radiator, thus insuring your- sel? against d e that surely will come otherwise. T! proportions de- } pend upon the temperature. It will require a 5-per-cent solution of alco- hol to prevent freezing at 25 degrees, and a 23-per-cent solution will take care of the water system down to zero, As low as 10 below, the solution should be 30 per cent, and if the mer- cury happens to drop to 15 degrees below the percentage will be 35 of alcohol, whereas ten more degrees be- low will require a 40-per-cent solution. At present prices glycerin Is out of the question as an antifreezing agent —besides, alcohol is far better and chefper, even if it dees tend to evapo- rate easily. “Cover your radiator when the car is allowed to stand idle, and if it is to remain in the cold for any length of time let It face the, wind and not back up into it. If left in the latter position the wind has a clear passage under the car and above the drip-pan to the motor. “It requires no more effort to do things correctly than it does to do them wrongly, and lack of understand- ing is the only barrier. Watch the lit- tle details.” FOR WOMAN MOTORISTS Milady wears fur garments—or, at least, must have them fur-trimmed— when she motoring goes. Heavy, soft cloth in a variety of col- ors is used extensively, but the wraps must have deep fur collars and cuffs, Ocelot and raccoon are two of the popular furs now being used on the long, full-skirted outer garments. For exeeedingly cold weather fur hits are used, and fur hat trimming is demanded with fur garments. Trains Have No Choice. “Trains have no choice of routes; they must run on the rails and thelr pstrons require that they be on time, if possible. On the contrary, motor- car drivers can choose their own routes and the occupants of such machines usually are not pressed for time. “If automobile drivers, would make it a habit to associe.te the sight of a with the sight of a traffic policeman, and control their machines accordingly, grade crossing accidents would cease. No man fs immune to the accidents at grade crossings which are so frequent with the constently growing use of the automobile. New Use for Oats. One of our Fort Peck reservation Indians did a queer stunt with his auto last week. He had a leaky tube and no patches, so he filled the tube with oats and ran in some water. All went merrily for three miies till the oats swelled too much and there was a blowout and a ride home on the rim. This is a new wrinkle and not patented—yet.—Brockton (N. D.) Bul- letin. Made Himself a Brake. The novice at the auto wheel can draw courage and confidence from the’ experience of Otto Huffman, a Phillips- burg (Pa.) butcher, While taking a trial spin with his new machine, all went well until Otto tried to work the brake. ‘Falling to connect with the already been estimated at 102,017,312, | tight lever he jumpe¢ from the seat, grabbed the rear wheel and brought Valted Staves possessions (a (put at | the cai to” ® “standstill by main strength, grade crossing and its adyance notices ; NEW TIRE-CHANGING TOOL Recent Invention That Simplifies Job Which ts Usually Laborious Out on the Road. Until recent years the job of replac- ing a punctured or blown tire while out on the road somewhere has been a mighty laborious job and one which has caused a good many unkind words to be spoken inte the innocent af mos- phere. Then the advent of the de mountable rim made a big improve ment in things. With one of these and a properly-inflated tire on It, mounted somewhere on the rear or the side of the car, one did not worry much about the possibility of delay from a punc- ture or a blowout. If elther of them happened, all that was necessary war to jack up the wh take off a’ half Tire-Changing Tool. dozen nuts or so, pull off the demount- able rim and the wounded tire, slip the good one on its place, screw the nuts back in place, mount the wounded tire in the place of the good one and drive off with a light heart and a back which was not tired out and a temper which was not frazzled to tatters. But when it came to removing the wounded tire from the first designs of these de- mountable rims the same old trouble was eucountered, it was no child's play; about the only difference was that the job was done at home when one had plenty of time and tools to use in doing it. It was still no fun to take the old tire off this rim and put « new one on in its plage, or to put it back after it had been repaired. This ts where the tool shown in the accom panying picture came in to heip things considerably. By means of it, this clincher type of demountable rim can be easily and quickly contracted at its joint so the tire can be slipped off very ‘readily; it also holds the rim contract ed whilc ,utting a good tire back on.— Farming Business, HAS NEW STEAM AUTOMOBILE Most of Objections to This Type of Ve- hicle Are Overcome by Detroit Man's Invention. As 4 result of prolonged experiments a Detroit inventor has developed a steam power uutomobile which seems to obviate most of the objections usu- ally presented by vehicles of its type, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. It embodies many of the best features of both gas and steam cars. By turning a switch and opening the throt- tle the car is started almost instantly. There are no gears, levers or clutch to operate, while. unlimited flexibility is afforded. From a snail's pace to a speed of 80 miles an hour the car ts said to run practically without engine vibration, There is no noise and noth- ing to watch but the road. So far as appearance is concerned, the machine would ordinarily be mistaken for a gasoline car. Fourteen miles without replenishing the water supply. The fuel is vaporized, mixed with air in a carburetor, heated and burned in a specially-designed combustion cham- ber. A small electric blower supplies the necessary volume of air while the ignition is accomplished electrically. The latter is the striking feature of the system, for it relleves the driver of the necessity of giving attention or labor to the matter of firing the boiler, In case the car stands inactive for sey- eral days about a minute and a half is required in starting it. If, however, it has merely been idle overnight or during a corresponding period, it starts at once. Boiling Radiators. The number of furiously steaming radiators to be noticed, even on the coldest days, calls attention to the fact that the average driver of a motor ve- hicle has very vague ideas about oper- ating his engine—and this is only one point in which he is lacking. The pre- vailing error seems to be in running with full throttle and retarded spark, a sure method of overheating the en- gine, and one which would soon result in disaster if the cooling apparatus was not extremely efficient. Even us it is, such practice does the engine no good. When speed is to be. reduced the first operation is to check the throttle until there are signs of knock - ing, when the spark may be gradually retarded; and when increasing. speed the operation is reversed, the spark be- ing first advanced, followett py opening the throttle. Many a lowly motorcy- clisf, with his air-cooled metor, could give points to the superior automobilist on ‘efficient and economical driving. Big Car increase.
