48 WILMETTE ply to four-speed cars as well, but to a greater degree. An engine develops very little power when first started, after standing in the cold. The wise driver allows the engine to warm up before moving the car, but many others abuse the motor by racing it to obtain sufficient power to start the car, and slipping the clutch to avoid stalling the engine. This is double abuse, for the chilled oil does not circulate freely through the engine, and the faster the engine speeds the more likelihood of damage; while slipping the clutch, of course, rapidly wears out the friction surfaces. The extremely low first gear of the Graham-Paige four-speed transmission virtualh· eliminates both these abuses.

Prepare for Winter cooling system of a car is un. . doubtedly the weakest part of it, unless proper precautions have been taken, according to a bulletin issued by the mechanical first aid department of the Chicago Motor club. No special skill nor knowledge is required to prepare this part of the automobile for the frigid blasts. The man who likes to tinker can do all of it in his garage. if he so chooses. The first requisite for carefree cooling is, of course, a sound radiator. If there are any weak spots or small leaks in it now. have it repaired <lt once by a competent repairman. The mechanical first aid department of the Chicago Motor club advises pr~m?t action in this respec.t, becaus~ wtthm one or two ~eeks radtator repatr plants probably wtll be so busy that some delay may be encountered. When one is satisfied . that the radiator is in good condition, inspect the hose connections between it anrl the motor. If any of them appear to he swollen or rotting, replace them with new parts. Regardless of whether replacements are needed, it is wise to remove the old connections and to flush the radiator and water jackets in the motor separately, so as to wash out all sediment. The choice of an anti-freeze agency, like the winter radiator front. is largely a matter of personal choice. Most prep_aratio.ns now on th~ market. are e.ffictent, tf used accordmg to dtrec ttons. 1908 Marmon Found; Now B~ing Driven Over 600 Mile Route Traveling under its own power, a THE 1908 Marmon is on its way from At ~ lanta.
