SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 1925 - CHEVROLET IN TEST DRIVE BS PERFORMS SMOOTHLY, SHOWS By SPARK PLUG. Here's the third. It isn't a of three times and out but just the third of the series of test drives and case reports by Sparky which appear each week in the Tribune automo. bile section. This week the Chevro- let. was the machine chosen to be put through her paces for fit of Tribune reade I result of the tests “It’s unbelievable. > bene: 's the “It's beyond the bounds of rea- son.’ “How do they do it?" These and other exclamations haye been uttered by amembers of | the Nolan Chevrolet staff during the | past week and to solve the mystery of just what is unbelievable and beyond the bounds of reason, Sparky piled into the new Chevro, let’.used by-the local agency as a demonstrator and was off on a brief spin over the hills and dales of Cas- per.and vicinity First of all, the Chevie moved off through her gears i a car of greater weight and p This ts due, according to “Jack” Nolan to the. absence of the time worn cone clutch and the installation in the new models of a dry disk clutch of the very st manufacture. There is no longer any danger of uncere- | moniously ripping rear ends from unsuspecting Chevrolets, the for is as gentle as abe irm as the bridge Outstanding améng the many new and admirable features of the new Chevrolet is the ease with which it handles upon every occasion.

Its frame- ver before and n shows up in the noiselessness of the body even ag higher speeds. Without an effort, she took Fifth street hill’on high.

The speakers, while stating facts as they saw them, also were highly optimistic, declaring that the next two years promised excellent busi- ness opportunities for the winners in the commercial battle.

The great majority of automobiles are kept Eieeieate Garages and if the engine is started and left running for any length of time the air quickly becomes charged with the deadly carbon monoxide gas. Many people are under the impression that carbon monoxide is simply unburned gasoline but this is not so. Car- mand of the past decade, A. B.

DONT FLIRT WITH DEATH BY RUNNING ENGINE WHEN DOORS AND WINDOWS OF GARAGE ARE CLOSED . 2, no uncertain way just how deadly are the fumes from an engine when run in a garage with doors closed. They placed a touring car ina brick buildin, capacity, then started the engine A dog was tied to the driver’s seat and the doors were shut, twenty minutes-the dog rolled oy: taken at é monoxide gas. The average private garage does so that if the experiment had been Carbon monoxide is much heavier than air so that it drops to the level of the floor, then starts to creep, up and if the engine is left running it will not be very long before the garage is charged with poison fumes. Because this deadly gas drops to the lowest level, it is suicide to work under a car or in a pit in a closed garage-when the ine is running. © give you an idea of how very deadly this gas is, just 1% of it in the atmosphere is sufficient to cause death in a few minutes, while 2% will cause instantaneous death. The Pittsburgh Experimental Bureau of Mines recently. made some experiments which proved in automobile of about 3,000 cubic-ft. it to run very slowly. d Within ¢r unconscious and a sample of air d. and allowed his time was analized and found to contain 1.3% of carbon not contain 3,000 cubic feet of space carried out in a gatage of the regu- lar size the probability is that within ten or fifteen minutes the air would have been laden with the deadly fumes. ing the experiment in a cémparatively Pittsburgh experiment, was run as slowly as possible.

Gasoline is a composition of hydrogen and carbon and when com- bined with air it will burn, When sufficient, some of the carbon burns to carbon monoxide. air is combined with the gasoline carbon burns to carbon dioxide, which is.a harmless the amount of oxygen or air is not If too much mixture (carbon and hydrogen). the as. However, a gasoline mixture will not fire in the combustion chamber ofa motor if there is an excess amount of air, so that it happens we have a.mix- ture in an automobile engine that is always deficient to a certain extent in oxygen and therefore a considerable amount of carbon monoxide ges is always present in the exhaust gasses of an automobile engine. KEEP DOORS AND WINDOWS WIDE: OPEN IF MOTOR MUST BE RUN | WHEN CARS IN GARAGE & Never get careless, always open ., The first effect of carbon monox- ide poisoning is a headache and’in a few minutes you begin to feel iddy. If by any chance you ever eel these symptoms when in. the garage and the door is shut and cane running, make for the door and the open air, for if you fall from giddiness you will have to bear a charmed life to escape death: In the event that you are near ; when a person is overcome by.car- bon monoxide poisoning, the best thing to do is to more the victim into the fresh air, keep him on his back with arms outstretched, then send in a hurry for a doctor and the pulmoter squad of the fire brigade. up the garage doors either before ©r as soon as you have started the motor, and never under any cir- cumstances work under a car when the engine is running, especially when the garage doors are closed.
