ON ITS_CAR <2 By EMScott* Be Careful How You Use Choke in Cold |, Weather ‘| At this time of the year ther car that requires to be is ohe lever or button on the average andled properly and that is the choke button. The carburctor is adjusted to furnish a correct»mixture when the engine is WARM. If it is adjusted so that when the engine will start quite easily WITHOUT the use of the choke when it is cold, the mixture would be altogether too rich w! the motor reaches’ its: normal’ opérating temper- ature. The choke is a necessity for it enables you to obtain a’rith mixture for starting, but if not used properly it will cause a great deal of damage to~the engine. : 4 When you pull out the choke button you close the air valve on the carburetor. This increases the suction on the carburetor jet and a rich mixture is then drawn into the cylindprs. . Just as soon as the engine starts, however, the choke should be set back abaut half way so as to admit more air to the mixture, otherwise it avill become too rich and, the engine will stop.’ Keep pushing the. choke buttoh’in ‘as the engine. warms up, then when it is thoroughly heated, push the choke in ALL THE WAY. If you find that you must keep the choke out-part way all the time when running ni cold weather, then the carburetor‘is adjusted too “lean”. Adjust it to give a slightly richer mixture. ‘ If the choke is not pushed back or at “Itan” “when the motor’ is warmed up, a considerable amount of raw gasoline is‘ drawn past the ‘pis. tons down into the crankcase, diluting the lubricating oil and destroying its lubricating. properties... When oil is badly-diluted with gasoline, it is use- es$ as a lubricant and will cause rapid wear on cylinder walls, piston rings and: bearings, ae the choke i properly ae led it is a-great aid in starting, but- CHOKE BUTTON MUST BE PUSHED] ‘if it is kept pulled out too long the. RIGHT BACK AS SOON AS “cylin ck looded with ENGINE WARMS UP .f, | ‘raw gasoline then it is practically im- ~ ‘possible to get the, engine’to start without removing the spark plugs oropening-thé priming cocks and turn- ing the engine over a few times in order to get this rich mixture cleared out of the cylinders. No matter how cold it is an.engine will not start on pure gasoline alone. Ce Te t f One certain sign that you are using the choke-too. much.or are running with a mixture that is too rich is whpn you notice-the@ngine is apparently not using any oil. If you find that the level-of the ‘gil in the crank case never seems to go down, then you can be fairly certam: that an excessive amount of gasoline is finding its way down’ into, the crankcase. In this case first examine the choker or butterfly valve on the car-- buretor. Make certain that when the button on the dash is pushed right in or set at “lean” that the valve’on the-air intake is straight across the assage and is not obstructing the free flow of air. into the carburetor, ery often it is PARTLY closed all the tinje. If the choke valve appears to be ml right, then have a good carburetor man, adjust your carburetor Properly. \ During the winter months the air drawn into the crankcase through the breather pipe contains a certain amount of moisture and this condenses and forms water which mixes with the lubricating oil. If the water is allowed to remain in the crankcase it can cause a .great deal of damage especially if the oil pump as located at the bottomof the crankcase. The water naturally drops to the lowest point in.the crankcase and it is here that the oil pump is located on a number of cars. If- the water enters the pump and freezes then when the engine is started the pump shaft key shears or the shaft breaks. This puts the pump oft af action and prevents the oil circulating with the result that very soon the engine seizes up and stops for lack of oil. ey ; y The oil in the crankcase should be drained out and replaced with fresh oil at least every 500 miles during the cold weather. If your engine is an old one and has not got very good compression it will be better to drain and refill with fresh oil every 350 miles Tf you: use your car to make a number of short runs which require the frequent use of the choker, it should most certainly be drained every 350 miles. If you do this you will find that the motor will not require overhauling Gntil you have run for from 15,000 to 20,000 miles whereas if you never drain the crankcase but simply keep the oil up to the correct level, you will find that your, engine will soon become very noisy and will probably require overhauling’ before you have covered 10,000 miles, ‘ 0 Phases as far as Denver from where hé¢ will probably drive, back in a shiny new Oakland for ‘some fortunate Casperite. ; They're anxiously awaiting up at the Natrona Motor Co.

The entire transcontinental trip was made with only two changes of gear. Neither of these was required by steep grades or hard pulling, but were made necessary only by the exigencies of traffic while pass- ng™through large cities, The only mechanteal operation on the entire chassis throughout the whole dis- tance was the tightening of one nut on the water pump. The 8,157 miles from Boston to Seattle was made at an average speel of 27 miles an hour, the driv- ing time having been 138 hours. ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF | VEHICLE REGISTRATION Lt SUNDAY, DFCEMEER 2, 1 = < IN TAX ORGY, LEADER SAYs WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec, 27.— Charging that the original purpose of motor vehicle registration has been forgotten in official eagerness to tax car owners all they will stand, the legislative board of the Aimeri- can Automobile association today announced the completion of plans for waging a fight for better auto- mobile license plates and a more standardized system of licensing. This information is contained in a bulletin sent to all affillated clubs throughout the country from the as- sociation’s headquarters in this city. ‘This action is said to have been hastened by discovery of counter- feiting in license tags in Ohio and by a knowledge that in many states the plates for 1925 will be flimsier than ever. Commenting upon the legislative board's action, Thomas. P, Henry, president of the A. A. A., declares that the motor vehicle departments and legislators have lost s'ght of the vital princ ple of automobile regis- tration which is identification not saxation. PIERGE-ARROW MOTOR CONCHES CROSS U. 5. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27.--Three modern motor coaches rolled into Los Angeles o few days ago, suc- cessfully completing the first trans- continental motor bus tour in the history of this newer form of pas- ,senger transportation. The tour be- gan in New York city on November 10 and was completed exactly on schedule time. Twenty-five tourists and their baggage were carried. “The first cross-contnent motor coach tour was eminently succe: full from every standpo'nt," enthu: astically declared Mr. R. R. Sibley, president of the Motorway Tours company, who accompanied the caravan. “We have seen America and have traveled in comfort and luxury every mile of the way. We held right to schedule. We have no difficulties or mechanical troubles, We had only one tire puncture throughout the entire 4,000-mile journey. 1 “This has gone so far tn som states," says Mr. Henfy, ‘that! the Meense plates hardly-Jast the year out and are very nearly useless for identification purposes after they have been six months on any ca: that is used extensively through aij knds of weather. “One club member found that one of his license plates, had~ cracked .4cross one corner and was about to reduce the plate by one complete numeral.
