FIX RADIATORS FOR 10 ABOVE, DRIVERS TOLD

Pobst of Indian Refining Gives Rules for Winter Motor Safety.

Indiang motorists are “on the safe side” at thix time of vear if} thev keep the alcoholic content of | their radiators “fixed” for 10 above zero weather, according to FF. W, Pobst, chief lubricating engineer of the Indian Refining Co. That calls for a mixture of fom parts of water to one part of denatured alcohol, he said. This mixture klso has a safety margin allow. ing the mercury to sink as low as| five ahove without damage to the automobile,

Hints For Mator Safety

Mr. Pobst listed the following! other general formulas for motor safety: From 10 above to zero-—-2 1-3 parts of water to one part of alcohol. Prom vero to 10 below-—-three parts of water to two parts of alcohol. From 10 degrees below %sro on down-—one part of water to one part of aleohol. These mixtures, he explained. work in any size radiator. If it should get ta he 40 or 50 degrees below zero, which is verv unlikely, the AD-50 mixture would become a sort of mash, but the automobile would not be damaged.

Urges Regular Checking

“The various patented anti-freepe products require different mixtures than does denatured alcohol,” he seid, Mr. Pobst said that motorists should have their radiators checked for aleoholic content throughout the winter, just as they have the oil checked, He also warned that it is rather expensive to fill up radiators with nleohal or anti-freege since they have a very low boiling point and when the weather gets a little warm, the fluid boils out,

erage. Adding the average tax of 5.44 )

cents a gallon, the average cost of

gasoline ta the consumer was 18.74 '
