TOURING HINTS.

By Israel Klein.]

The motor, it seems, didn't run vory well on the last trip to the mountains, although it showed no sign of trouble as soon as home was reached.

That's the tale many motorists tell on their return from long drive. It is a simple admisalon of ignoranco as to the requirementa and operation of their engines,

Of course the motor won't run well in high altitude when it is adjusted to perform properly at sea level. Neither will one do its best at low levels when it has been set to run in good condition higher

The atmosphere up above is much thinner, and the carburetor begins to gasp for more air while it is being choked up with too much gasoline. It must therefore be ad Justed for a much leaner mixtyro as the car climbs higher,

On the return down grade the carburetor should be readjusted for a slightly, heaviar mixture, or it will permit too much air to be sucked into the fuel mixture and cause the motor to miss. This should be done even in hot sum mer,,while the mixture has been thinned down considerably. at sea lovel, for the air is still rarer up Above.

While the car went scooting up the big inclines of the mountains, it developed all kinds of trouble that ordinarily would not be expected of It on the level. But that, most like. ly, is the fault of the driver who is unacquainted with hilly roads.

An automobile can't be hurried up a steep incline, although that would be our first inclination in order to make the top of the hill on high. Rather shift into second before getting to the top, than find an overheated, clanging motor mar- ring our further progress.

There's the danger also of burn- ed-out bearings, scored cylinders, diluted crankcase oil, and even a cracked cylinder head, unless care is taken in an ascent. The cooling system needs more frequent changes of water, and the oil must bo replenished more often under such conditions.. .:

+

At times, too, a motorist creepe home cautiously almost without brakes. That's because ho used them overzealously on the long and steep downgrades. That won't do. Baites should be used for stopping and only for occasional slow-downs. But constant braking on a long grade causes the linings to burn out and puts the entire system out of jorder.

Rather go down in low gear- which is not only considerato for the brakes, but aafer and leas cont- ly. The compression of the car acts as brake and is more effective on long grades. Occasionally, if the car gets away even from this, the brake may be applied, but if isn't needed so often as when the engine isn't used to hold back the

car.

If low gear has to be used, bo sure to stop at the top of the hill before starting the descent, and shift to first. You can't shift from high to a lower gear while scooting down a steep grade.

Most likely, in attempting to do this, you'll find yourself coasting down hill in neutral, impossible to mess the gears Into a lower gear. There the dangor lies, especially where there are curves and sheer drops alongside.

•

Water bolls at lower tempera- ture, when in high altitude. There fore, it's nothing to get excited. about when you see the steam com- ing out of the radiator vent. But, the water should be replenished more often, to prevent the system becoming dry and cracking up the cylinder head.

DIESELS FOR TRUCKS.

Diesel motora, burning heavy fuel oils, have been perfected for the use of motor trucks, buses and railway motor cars by a firm in Breslau, Germany. Its low weight and high speed, fa said, enable it to compete with other types of engines,
