More Attention Is
Required by Autos
1 In Winter Months
Approach of Cold Weather
Reminder To Check
Needs of Your Car
It's MrmiT nnw hut the recent I
cold spelt ?u a warning of whstts t
soon to come from the weather man
There'll be cold and rain, cold and
mud. and your car won't stand but
Just so much of this without atten
tion from you
Your old bus doesn't ask to be put
under blankets for the season: it
doesn't ask to be coddled: it Just asks
to be treated fairly?Just give it some
long underwear so to speak, and it
will work without complaint
Your car can't start with a snap in
cold weather if your battery isn't
stronR enough to turn it over, cold
oil that is too liravy makes your bat
tery work too hard and eventually get
too weak to fire your plugs, or. your
plugs may be fouled and force your
battery to put In too much time turn
ing over a stiff motor. The car doesn't
mind, it would be delighted to stay at
home, so if you prefer walking go
right ahead and neglect having your
battery checked, your spark plugs
cleaned and your oil changed.
And remember that your motor isn't
the only moving part of your car.
Stiff grease that congeals in extreme
cold won't stick to bearings, and
gears will rut channels through lu
bricant that's not soft enough to flow
Most people think of their transmis
sion and differential, but remember
not to forget wheel bearings.
Road hazards Increase in cold wea
ther and you can't do much about the
activities of the highway department:
you can't make clear the road you
want to use first: but you can be
sure that your tires and brakes pull
you safely through the long mucky
spell that's Just around the corner.
After you are certain that your car
will function, and function safely,
think of yourself?your health and
comfort. This is the season of ra
dios best performance and the season
when a heater keeps driving from be
ing a duty to shirk when ever possi
ble.
Look after your car and make your
winter motoring pleasant: don't wait
until it makes you cuss, pay some at
tention to the old bus.
Be Careful When
Using Anti-Freeze
Before you have anti-freeze in
stalled, by all means have your rad
iator flushed and all hose connec
tions tightened. In many instances
it is profitable, as well as conven
ient, to have new hose, connecting
the motor and the radiator, installed.
You will eventually have to have the
new hose connections so have this
important matter attended to be
fore your first gallon of anti-freeze
is lost.
Coming Cooler Weather Brings Warning |
Of Danger From Carbon Monoxide Gas
Washington, D. C.?In a warn
ing pointing out that 8(H) persons
annually lose their lives as a re
sult of corbon monoxide poison
ing. the American Red Cross has
set down the following rules for
motorists and householders to ob
serve with the advent of cold
Remember that carbon mon
oxide is colorless and odorless.
Do not run an automobile engine
in a closed garage, or sit in a
closed parked car with the engine
running.
If there is an odor of illu
minating gas, ventilate the prem
ises and get competent advice
from your gas company.
DEMANDS
J
Cold, winter weather makes
many demands on a car that the
owner must take into considers
tion. A cold motor calls for all
the resources a battery has
when first started. The battery
should be checked and the con
nections tightened and water in
stalled when necessary. If the
batter yis the least bit weak, it
should be recharged. Rentals
are inexpensive and may be se
cured from many of the places
of business listed here.

Driving in Winter
?*?
And December Is Statistic
ally Most Hazardous
Month of Year
?
Washington. D C.?With the na
tion experiencing winter's first broad
side of sleet and snow, the American
motorist Is beginning the "danger"
months of driving.
Weather conditions, lengthening
hours of darkness and the added ha
zard of holiday rush and celebration
result In December being statistically
.he most hazardous month of the
rear, according to the American Red
Cross. On a basis of last year, some
1.500 persons will make page one news
? victims of automobile accident fa
talities.
Contrary to the popular belief that
the rush hours of morning and even
ing are the most dangerous periods
yf the day. It was pointed out that
Mile for mile" there are nearly three
times as many accidents between two
?nd three a m as there are between
tight and nine a m
Statistics reveal that one In every
19 persons Injured in daytime crash
's dies, while at night the rate Is
loubled. More than half of all pe
iestrlan fatalities occur during the
tlx hours preceding midnight.
Snow, sleet, rain and fog add to
December's seasonal hazards, accord
ing to the Red Cross It urges double
-aution while driving under these
conditions?caution In the motorist
tandling his own car as well as keep- j
ng a vigilant eye on the other fellow.

Avoid the use of tubing to

Do not leave a gas Hauie burn

Make certain that furnace
pipes are not clogged and that
there are no holes in drafts or
