Warm Motors and Cool Heads [7 # physiological fact whieh we red in school that, ardless of the temperature of the air and the amount of clothing worn, the bodily heat of a normal human being will) remain constant. The pores of our skins are either closed in cold y ather or open and emit perspiration on warm days, and thus serve as a wonderful automatic ator which functions as well in January as in July. Unfortunately, althongh the autos mobile engine should be run ab the same internal temperature winter or summer, the matic in its operation, and cools too much erage cooling system is not aute in winter and, in some instar insufli- vt radia ulated by ciently in summer.

The heat ge rated in an engine is transferred by means of the water to the Hore the water is spread out thin film between flat sur of metal over which a current of air is forced by means of a fan and the motion of the car. Naturally, the lower the temperature of this air, the more rapid will be the cooling of the water in’ the radiator. But summer a a hard road surface, may be only a grees cooler than that to whieh we desire to bring the temperature of the water. Cooling is com ely slow, therefore, and the radiator must be operated at its maximum. cfficieney in r that the water will be kept below ore the boiling point and) not evaporate rapidly, Some cars are provided with an auxiliary means of capturing this water which may escape in the form of v or or id return it to the cool system steam, after the engine is stopped. The surest way, however, to obtain the best results from your engine in hot weather touring and mountain climbing—which imposes a severe tax on the cooling ability of the radiator—is to observe your motometer and if the engine appears to run unduly hot to lose no time in cleaning the radia- tor and tightening the fan belt so that slipping will not occur. The radiator need not be removed for Dut it is obvious that th er will deposit lime, rust and other heat-insulat- ing materials on the inside of the radiator tubes or cells. ‘This can be removed hy the use of a compound of ordinary: wash- ing soda dissolved in boiling water and poured into the rad tor and cooling system which, of course, should have heen thoroughly drained previously. ‘The motor should then be run so tribute this eh ining solution throughout the entire system.
