Hints For Motorists
By Joseph R. Rollins *
The Atlantic Rthni-ig Company
IT IS good Insurance against re
pair bills to drain the oil fre
quently during the months of hard
winter driving, Instead of trying to
get everything you possibly can ont
of it. Dilution destroys the body ot
the oil. and tbe grit that gradually
accumulates makes It abrasive. The
resulting expense for repair blUs is
likely to prove far greater than any
possible saving from hoarding your
oil.
• * •
Bluish smoke coming from the ex
haust means that oil is burning up
In the cylinders. Black amoke Is
due to a too rich mixture. Whit*
means steam, and If It is continu
ous It may be due to water leaking
