Their tender little “insides” are injured by them. | If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli- cious “California Syrup of Figs.” Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless “fruit laxative” handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet- en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row. Ask at the store for a 5)-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Ady.

PUTTING “SAFETY FIRST” INTO EFFECT A New York Policeman Holding Up One of the “Safety First” Posters, Through the Display of Which the Police Commissioner Hopes Greatly to Reduce Accidents in America’s Greatest City. IN ZERO WEATHER METHODS OF GUARDING AGAINST FREEZING OF WATER. Means of Doing Away With Annoy- ance That Even Most Skillful Mo- torist Will Experience—Don’t Use Caicium Chloride. “It was only a few weeks ago I urged all motorists to prepare their cars for the advent of zero wee Ky} said a member of a leading auto con- cern, “and I gave specific directions for the preparation of an antifreeze mixture that would guard against the freezing of the water in the cooling system, : “It is not always the man who has Qjs first machine that is caught nap- ping. Experienced motorists are not infallible, and it is’ that class of own- ers who never cross a bridge until they come to it that bring business to the concerns which repair radiators and supply parts. “While the most easily prepared so- lution is, perhaps, the calcium chloride, it is absolutely the wrong antifreeze mixture to use. A number of cars have recently been brought Into the service | : | ane station for repairs which, upon inves- tigation, showed that calcium chloride had apparently been used in the radia- tor. Unless one can secure the chem- ically pure form, calcium chloride is a dangerous solution. The commercial calcium chloride, commonly sold for an antifreeze mixture, is injurious be- mnponents of the cooling system, Such alkaline solutions are productive of an elec- trical action wherever two dissimilar metals are utilized, such as the brass tubing of a radiator and the » used at the joints, the iron water Jack— ets und th coy y plates, In addition to damaging the radiator, the use of ealcium chloride may work havoc with the cylinders, the pump and the Inlet and out .’“t water pipes, The owner usually:ha, to buy a new radiator before he can put his car into service again. “A summary of the opinions of mo- torcar manufacturers as to the value of various antifreeze solutions shows a decided preference for denatured al- cohol, The proportions for the wes of alcohol depend upon the temperature. It will require a 5 per cent solution 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 degrees below the solution should be 30 per cent, ahd if the mer- cury happens to drop to 15 degrees below will require a 40 per cent solu- tion. “Alcohol has one undesirable fea- ture, however, and that is its evapora- ting proclivities. But if you will take the trouble to add a small amount of glycerin to the alcohol as you prepare it for the radiator, you will greatly re duce the evaporation rate. Regarding the glycerin, the unbleached variety, which may be procured at any drug store, is cheapest and best.” Wire Wheels Popular. One of the most interesting develop- ments of the last year in connection with automobile building is the wire wheel. More than 60,000 cara equipped with wire wheels, have started their careers thia season. It is predicted that 1637 will see fully 200,000 new cars equipped with wire wheels. The detachable rim has become decidedly popular with the wire wheel manu- facturers, all of whom are using it ex- tensively. ; Safety Chain. / To avoid getting stuck, a device has deen invented that will pull a’ biles out of mudholes, ditches and deep snowdrifts.

NO NEED FOR MUCH NOISE Careful Driving of Machine Will Do Away With Complaint That Is Often Well Founded. The unavoidable noises of traffic |are certainly all that the nerves of the publie ought to be called upon to withstand: and every motorcar opera- tor ought to “do his bit’ to prevent thelr unnecesvary increase by driving his car as quletly as possible. Undue nolse almost always means waste of power and uncalled for wear and tear and, for this reason also, It should be avoided. The following are a few hints which, if followed, will tend to secure quietness of operation: Stdrt the engine on nearly closed throttle. Most carburetors are designed to give a richer mixture at small than at large openings and the engine thus starts easier and more easily, After it is started, don't sit and race it to see if it is going to keep running. Have some means for temporarily richening the mixture and use it at starting. This will insure reltinble running at low throttle, even under cold conditions. When starting the car froi rest, don't race the motor excessively before engaging the clutch and don’t let in the clutch suddenly. On the level going there is no need of a tiigh motor speed ; the noise that accompanies tt. When changing from the lower to the higher gears, at starting, don't speed the moter too much before mak- ing a shift. Except on up grades, this is not necessary and, with modern, multiple-cylinder. motors, speeding of the engine is hardly necessary at all. Don't try to nccellerate the car too rap- idly. The time you could save by it would be too small to figure and these “dashing getaways” are very noisy. Learn to change sy without clashing the gears, thelr grinding Is a most dis sing sound and every self- respecting motorist ought to be will- ing to learn to shift speeds quietly. Keep the hand throttle set so low that when the clutch When Idling the en- gine run it at its lowest practicable speed. Last, but also important, if your car happens te be fitted with that generally abandoned delusion—the muffler cutout—never open it. Spinning Clutches. 4 On cars which have been In opera- tion for some time the driver often finds that gear changing cannot be ac- complished without noise, The gears do not mesh easily and it not only is annoying, but sometimes difficult for the car to be driven properly. Harsh gear changing usually is due to ‘a spin- ning clutch, but sometimes to a defect in the gearset. The latter may have one or more shafts out of allgnment, due either to distortion of the shaft itself or to a poor bearing. When a cone clutch spins, that is, when it continues to rotate for some time after being disengaged, the trouble may be remedied by adJust- ment in many cases, Roughness of the leather may be the cause, A thin coat- ing of neatsfoot olf or dressing with fuller’s earth usually stops the trouble. In a disk clutch running in oll, thinner oll sometimes helps. It usually is a sign of gummed disks when the trouble occurs In a dry disk cluteh. Kerosene as Motor Fuel. ‘The attempt of Alfred Gohn to drive an ordinary automobile from Warren to New York with common kerosene as the motor power, was successful under adverse circumstances. He en- countered weather which made the go- Ing hard, and even froze his radiator, but in spite of this he made an aver- age of 20 miles to the gallon, Nor was this kerosene specially prepared for the purpose, but was purchased at the oped seas asp as the driver needed experiment to use kerosene in place of gnsoline should Prove a success, it will be of great valne to the oll industry, since the re- finers have ‘been handicapped for sev- eral years by the accumulation of stocks of illuminating oll on their
