Petromortis Lurks in Fumes of Partially Burned Gase3 From Exhaust Pipe. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. A startliner reminder to automobilistg everywhere to Ijewar of carbon monoxid gas 1 found Jn the death of Rev. Richard R. Re!del. a distinguished Washington evangelist, who was asphyxiated In hl parage a few erenli'jrs ai?o. Commenting on tho death of the Rev. Mr. Reldel a known govern mo.'.t authority said today: "Pon't closo the doors of your carape when starting your motor. Is a warning w hich has been sounded tlmo and airaln. but car owners still commit the folly that claims so many victims during the winter months. "Petromortis. or pasollne death, lurks In the fumes of partially burned pajos from the exhaust ripe and unless the fatal carbon monoxide, with Its stealthiness. Is blown to tho outer air the motorist is almost surr to meet hla death. "Only durinK recent years has this mysterious peril come to the attention of the public. Rev. Reldel bein? one of tlrs latest victims, lie was tunlnf? his motor, and for feax of "atrnins? cold had the doors tightly closed. "In adjufrtlnpr and oiling the mecharJsm whilo tho enplne was wjirmintf h was overcome by the paas which could not escape from the jrarapre. and a few minut-s later was discovered by neighbors who liroke into the bulldinpr only to find his lifeless body on the floor near tho rear entrance. Hundreds of thoughtless victims are reported as meeting the same fate every day. "A professor of chemistry In one of the New York universities, who is an authority on poisoned grises, would have been killed in the same manner had rtot his fami" reached the parape In time to rescue him while seml-eonsclous. "Too many, unfortunately, pro-

98";. Metal A Maxwell is 9Sr' metal, and the very best metal that metallurgists can specify. Pound for pound it equals the metal in any car built. The Maxwell is made of light-weight but strong metals. They had to be light because the mission of the Maxwell is economical transportation. They had to be strong because the Maxwell is built to carry just as heavy a passenger load over the same roads and at the same speed as any car, despite its price or size. Any engineer will tell you that in getting that rare combination of strength with lightness high prices must be paid for the metals. Their use, however, repays the makers of the Maxwell in many ways because each car each day is winning friends. Today these friendships, expressed in terms of cars, are well on the road to 400,000. You cannot go back of these numbers any more than von can go back of the fact that the sun rises

n the morning.

They tell the story; and it's largely a story of what the Maxwell is made of fine metals. J. W. NIKART, 1 32-1 34 E. Colfax Av. Phone, Main 2254. ScrviceStation 1025 V. Division. Phone, Main 2673.

"VTien asked about preventives for th deadly p.is thi.s expert con- ' tlnued: j "There is los dr.ntrer, fince the deadly pases are much heavier than j air. when one is working about th

Hut where one is working on tirrs or mechanism about the running gear in the strata of deadly pas he if more likely to he overcome and die of suffocation In a few seconds. "There are many ways in which tho danger may be overcome. First of all, the easiest method js to thoroughly ventilate the garage by ope nlnp the doors or any windows, provided they reach close to the floor. Most windows are above the strata of tho heavy and poisonous fumes, hence would not relieve tho fumes. To be sure, it H best to Uw the entrance wide open. If the w. ather is too severe, and it is necessary to keep the heat in, then connect a metal pipe or ho-e securely to the exhaust and in this manner direct the fumes to the outer air."

Times. Can you explain why it is th.it one car of a certain weight is :nufh harder on tires than another car of practically the fame weight I have two cars of different :::akes. Th sirr.e sire tires are used ori both cars, and the same driver uc?e.s both car.-". It seems peculiar to me that one car should be so murh harder on tires than thother. II. r,. Cars of the same vveipht should not vary in tire eost as much as you .liegest. If the wheels are out of alignment on tho one car th:.alon would caus- the difference. The osJgn of the car and the distribution of weight ha.s itfl effect. A well designed and well balanced ear is much more economical. The horsepower and clutch construction also must be considered. A highpowered motor coupled to a fierce clutch will certainly cause hard wear on rea: tireü. Spring suspension is also another item affecting tires. Kesillrnt sprinps relieve tires considerably. A number of these Items taken together produce surprising results.

Motorists Problems

(CONTINUED FROM PACE 7.)

line between the coil and batteryWould suggest that you have some Ignition man look this over before buj-ins a new switch. A looso connection or corroded terminal my be the cause. Some section of the cooling system must be clogged which prevents free circulation. Defective hose connections, pump or radiator usually are the cause. Your remarks lead ono to believe that the radiator is at fault. Sections of the radiator may be clogged, and this alone would cause the engine to overheat very puickly. Here again you must employ the services of a competent repair man. preferably one who specializes on automobilo radiator work. Motor Department, Tho NewsTimes. The engine of my car has been knocking lately on hills and when picking up. On the level, however, It runs all right. I have cleaned the carburetor thoroughly, but without causing knock to disappear. Also have been using kerosene through the opening in the manifold when I bring the car In about once a week. Car is pulling with little power, compared to what it does usually. Is it likely that the cylinders are carbonized In six months use? C. The knock feems to he due to carbon. If the bearings were loose the knock would be there at all times. The cylinders can carbonize sufficiently to cause a knock In much less time than six months. The cylinders should be removed and the valves ground. At the same time would suggest that the crank case be lowered ami all the old oil washed out. All the bearingscan then be examined carefully and adjusted If loose. The use of kerosene In the cylinders is good occasionally. A little will help keep any carbon deposits soft. Motor Department, The NewsHKLlTUfj HVNTS In tuning up a multi-cylinder engine one should be very careful to note that there Is good compression In each cylinder. In a. four-cylinder engine the sound of tho exhaust will reveal a weak cylinder. From the exhaust of a six or eight-cylinder motor, however, the condition of a particular cylinder is hard to detect. Very often a weak cylinder is not detected and the carburetor adjustment is changed to eliminate the supposed thump. In reality, the cause lies in a weak cylinder.

Among the little things on a car that stand a good chance of being neglected are the leather boots strapped over joints. Not only are the boots important as dust excluders, but they serve, In some joints, at least, to catch small screws or pins that may get looso. Straps should be kept tight and defective boots replaced.

"When overhauling f n e n g i n o care should be taken to assemble as many parts as possible before laying same aside; that Is to say, bearint-s. bushings, bolts, nuts and other part3 should go back into their proper places at the time reassembling is commenced. Considerable annoyance can be avoided by bearing this In mind.

When giving the car Its usual winter overhaul and getting it ready for another season's use one point it is well to bear in mind namely, to clean out all oil grooves and grease conduits. Filling the gTeas cups at frequent intervals will prove of no use If the grease ducts are closed. Grease cups are installed at points where lubrication Is necessary to prevent unnecessary wear. It is obvious, therefore. that the create should reach its desired destination.

Many complaints are made about hard steering. Lack of lubrication is the principal cause. Don't forget that th steering l:nu kb- pivot pins must be gra.-"d at all times. These luivt- l.trg' b. unrig surfaces which cause a heavy drag U dry and rusty.

Factory Enlarged Production Doubled to Meet Increasing Popularity of Qole oAero-ElGHT

DURING 1919 only a fraction of the demand for Cole c4e to-EIGHTS could be supplied, despite the fact that it was the largest production year which the Cole Motor Car Company had ever had. With the expansion of the factory to twice its former size, this production of cfero-ElGHTS will be more than doubled in 1920. Though this will enable many motorists to own Qole oAeroEIGHTS who never before have been able to enjoy that privilege, several thousand unfilled orders carried over from 1 9 19, must be accorded preferential deliveries during the early months of the present year. Hence, all who now contemplate the purchase of Qolc cferoElGHTS are urged to place their orders without delay, indicating the date of delivery desired, so that equitable distribution of the product may be made and prompt deliveries assured.
