' STEA ’ ' ,New System Gi Steam. to cool the engine and heat the car, will be applied to some of the new models in be exhibited at the coming .m' 'l'JlIllti shows. This :ippri- .. paradoxical com dition is occasioned by adoption of the steam cooling system. a new method that has been approved by loading automotive engineers. Steam lines run from the water cooling jacket around the engine, to the radiator in front or to the heater in the inside of the car. In the one case. the steam is the result of a. new kind of cooling sys- tem. In the sccond,»it‘s the cause of a. new and better type of heating. Steam cooling has long been simi- lcd by uutomolivo engineers. The method was found to be extremely simple, once it was decided to run the line from the overheated water Jacket to the bottom, instead or the top of the radiator. Present Method Wrong, This little change brought about the reduction of: steam. formed from boiling water in the jacket. through the radiator, rather than the cooling of heated water by this method. ’ When a radiator steams, in the present system. it is because the. cooling lines were built along the wrong plan of. sending the water downward from the top of the radiator. Steam, being lighter than air. forced its way through the op- ening at the top. By the new system, the overheat- ed water and steam are directed to- ,ward the bottom of the radiator where the steam separates itself from the water and. spreading up- ward through the core, is condensed before it gets to the top. A pump at the bottom of the ra- diator keeps the water in constant circulation. Just as the water is circulated through the cooling jacket. it can also be sent through a. water-tight compartment around the oil pan at 'the bottom of the crankcase. The hot water, 'Firculating around the oil, forces the evaporation of any fuel gas that might have gotten into it. and thus keeps the oil pure. More Economical. By this system. the engine heats up much faster, up to the point: of steaming. when it’s at its highest efficiency. Faster heating of the on- dlno at the start means greater fuel ”economy. Also, any the engineers. alcohol mixed with the water in winter has much less chance to evaporate than in the present system. because vap~ orized liquids are quickly condensod in the radiator core. A pipe leading from the steam line to a. heater in the car. before the steam gets to the radiator, affords 3. depends e and stable heating ar- rangement n winter. Even while the engine is idling. once it has been brought up to its efficient point. considerable heat is supplied. There is little loss of heat between the system and the heater in the car. and the heater itself re- 'quires no cleaning such as that necessary with the exhaust types, ETHICS FOR MOTORISTS.

He :is now making a trip to Europe to conduct a test to see if KFI cannot be received all over Europe clearly and well with American radio receiving sets. Mr. Anthony. who is the Pacific Coast distributor of tho Packard Motor Car Company. equipped the Pullman ear in which he ‘travcls from‘San Francisco to New York, enroute to Europe with a radio serial and entertained everyone on the train as well as giving radio concerts at sattions when the train stopped. KFI is rated as one of the most powerful broadcasting stations in the world and Mr. Anthony believes he will have no more difficulty in hearing the Packard Six in their concerts each night while abroad than he would in Los Angeles.

When you plan a. touring expedi- tion. choose the concrete roads first. take the macadam roads for second ‘ choice and the gravel roads third. This practice will save you consid- erable money in gasoline and tire cost. This advice is offered from a. study of figures presented by the State College of Washington. where ac- tual tests of gasoline use and tire wear were conducted over these three types or road. Here. in short. result of these tests Ratio of gasoline cost: Concrete . . . . .i. . . . . . . . . 810.00 Macadam .............. 11.13 Gravel ................. 15.07 Which means that driving a. car over the some distance on each type of road results in the comparative costs shown in the table.

AUDIENCE LIKES . H A HLEI IN I , MODERN DRESS LONDON, Aug. daring experiment of presenting “Hamlet" in a twentieth century setting was made at the Kingsway Theater last night. and the result fully justified the confidence of the producers. The large audience re« ceivcd the performance with every mark of approval. ' 9 To emphasize the idea that the play has an appeal for moderns as strong as when it was first staged. the. characters were attired in to- day's fashions, tho women in frocks of the latest styles with hair bobbed or shingled.=and the men in immacu- lately cut Prince Albert: wiht creas- cd trousers and spots or well tailored lounge suits. Hamlet himself appeared at the graveside scene wearing “plus fours." but the peak of modernism was reached when one of the men lighted a, cigarette. Notwithstanding the anachronistic costumes. there was no touch of bur. lcsque. and the" audience followed the pin ythroughout as though the dress of the characters was a. non- essential, and the development of the, drama alone mattered. , The success of the performance was considered largely due to the excellent and sympathetic acting. 26 (AP).--Thc best results.

Aug. 26.-—For the second time in twelve years. Patrick Donahue. sixty-one. inmate of St. Joseph's Home for the Aged. 209 West 15th Street. has been declared dead. Two physicians pronounced him dead yesterday. His body lay last night at West 80th Street Police Sta- tion, and because Donahue had walk- ed out of Fordham Morgue twelve years ago. police and physicians weer expecting repetition of the “miracle." Donahue collapsed in the street near the Home yesterday afternoon. Dr. Holt of New York Hospital de- clared him dead and the body was taken to the station house. The Home officials notified Dr. Edward Donlon. attending physician there. Dr. Doniin examined the body last night and then remembered and re- Istod the Fordham Morgue incident. lie informed Police Lieut. Kelly that to all appearances Donahue was dead. but the case puzzled him be- cause rigor mortis had not set in. Dr. Donlin apparently decided to take no chances for he advised the lieutenant to assign a. patrolman to watch over the body and notify the Medical Examiner if anything hap- pened. " “When the body is taken away by an undertaker." said Dr. Donlln. “caution the undertaker not to em- baim or otherwise prepare it for burial for several hours. Donahue was taken to the Fordham Morgue as dead twelve years ago and com- pletely fooled the physicians." According to Dr. Donlln, Donahue was picked up in the street at the time he was taken to the Morgue and lay on a. slab sveerai hours. Then he suddenly came to life and walked into the attendants room. IIARRIMANS HIT “BIG THREE."

Aug. 26.-—AI- though the motorists of the country paid nearly 380,000,000 during 1924 in the form of gasoline tax. it is estimated that. the amount will ap- proximate 8100.000.000 in 1925., Thirty-five of the 48 states and the District of Columbia. imposed taxes last year ranging from 1 to 4 cents a. gallon. Arkansas was the only state having the 4-centtax last year. but this year is Joined by North Carolina. which raised its tax from 3 to 4 cents. The increase in the total amount to be paid in gasolinectax by motor- ists this year is indicated by Kansas, Ohio and Michigan adopting a 2 cent levy. North Carolina Connecticut Tennessee raising their levies 1 cent a gallon. and Wyoming 9. cent and a. half. In the figures for the year sub- mitted by the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. it is shown that Cali- fornia. with its 2-ccnt tux, leads all other states in the amount collee- tcd from motorists, with 811,993,- 222. The only other state approximat- ing this huge sum is Pennsylvania, which collects over $9,000,000 from a 2-cent tax. The next in line is In- diana. with less than $5,000,000, and North Carolina with 84.500.000. CLEAN ACCIDENT SLATE. Of the 70 cities of more than 100. 000 population, New Redford, Mass, alone came through the first five months of this year without an auto- mobile fatality.
