It was suggested that car owners who, anticipate trouble ini starting' use only 'th.ose.grades of gaoiewhich possess easy-starting qualitîes.-*Frequently it is advisable; to' readjust the carbutretor.. This should be done only by a capable niechanîc.. The agency of the make of car is alwmays in a position to adviie owners as to the, best oit. Some cars. use the saine consistency of. oit the year around; -mnost, however, are-desigped for thinner lubricant in winter. -Hon-, .est and to the minute filling stations usually offer the right, grade of oit for the car in question; the Chicago Motor club does not, -however, advise motorists to trust,,ail stations to tec-, ommend the correct oit. Thé reason that a comparatively thin oil 's better in willter is b ecause:,oit thickens in low tetuperatures; frequently the "drag" of the pistons. against the cylirider watts and -other sources of friction cause ajn excessive load on the starter, if'the oit is too thick or too cotd. The choke, should be used sparing-_ ly. Excessive use of this ai' osat ing will, resuit in undue amounts of raw gasoline being drawn into, the cytinders, and a certain amount, de- pending -upofl the - efficiency of the piston rin~gs, will leak past the pis- tons into the crank case, thereby diluting the crank case oit. Whenever the starter encounters difficulty in spinning the engine bWe- cause of cold oil, the, crank should be use.d to toosen the engine. This practice Will .save the battery from, undue drain. Many car manufac.turersr advise a tighte uricant in the gear caseé and' also. Inithe differentiat .housing. Ascertain f rom the agency handling, the car what grade of oit or grease is best in: those parts,' and act ac- rýordingly. Iaw, and with funds deïrived by theiln
