Later Have-you ever glanced inside the family kettle? If have never done so, do so now. You will notice that the inside is covered with a creamy colored scale, which flakes off very easily. This is proof that the water you are using contains sediment and lime in solution. You are probably more careful to make certain that you are using clean water when you fill up the family kettle than you are when filling the radiator with water. You will realize, therefore, that if sedi- ment collects in the kettle the way it does, the inside of your radiator and the water jackets.in the en- gine must also be covered with the same kind of scale. If this de- posit is allowed to remain in the radiator and water jackets, it acts as an insulator between the hot cylinder walls and the water, The ye result of this is that the engine overheats because the cylinders are not properly cooled. Here are a few of the troubles that may develo; if the cooling system is not thoroughly cleaned out at least once ea: season: The consumption of oil is greatly increased. Engine will 'ose power and pep. Carbon deposit in cylinders becomes red hot, causing pre-ignition and knocking. If overheating is very bad, the excessive heat may cause cylinders, pistons and valves to warp. Spark Plugs become incandescent, catising pre-ignition and mis- firing, which is sometimes extremely difficult to locate. Pistons become so hot that the oil on UNDERSIDE as well as on top of piston burns and forms carbon. This carbon mixes with lubricating oil in crankcase and destroys its value as a lubricant. Engine may seize up or cylinder walls may score, Now the above list of troubles is quite an imposing one, yet one or all of them is liable to occur your cooling system is not in perfect order, , Fortunately, how-f—a — ever, it is a very simple matter to rotect yourself against these trou- Jes, and put the cooling system in) J good condition. The first thing to do is to remove the scale and sedi- |Z ment that has collected in the radi: LOOK INSTOE TE TMMMY AETTLL 4NO NOTE THE CREAMY oe ator to see how many water it holds, shen + t = pa Pr of common washing soda for every CLLAN OUT RADIATOR Mi OF gallon of water.

Do not completely fill the radiator, leave about half a gallon of water out. Run the car for about a day with this solution, then drain off. Now remove the bottom water connec- tion and insert a hose in the filler cap, and let a. good pressure of water run through the cooling sys- tem until the water comes out clean and clear, 35 If it is possible to use rain ‘water in the radiator, you will have no trouble with scale forming in the cooling system, Rain water contains no lime, but the usual city water supply always has a con- siderable quantity of it. Examine the bolts that hold down the radiator, te see that they fre tight. If these become loose, the radiator starts to vibrate, and this may cause considerable damage. Cut out this article and save it until next week, when I will com- plete the instruction showing. how to inspect and put the remainder of the cooling system in good condition. NEXT WEEK—HOW TO INSPECT HOSE CONNECTIONS, : PUMP AND FAN ; Proper Lubrication Adds Life and Efficiency to Engine; Regularity Urged | From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Lubricate regularly, keep the oil at the proper level in the crankcase, and use the correct grade of oil for your engine, Never over-oll, and pever under oil. If you keep the oil level higher than necessary, it will cause the spark plugs to foul up and make {t necessary to tale them out and clean frequently; the valves, will get gummed up, and won't seat properly and perhaps af- ter a time start sticking; the cylin- ders will soon become’ full of carbon.
