EVER TRIED THIS ONE?
Present-day motorists who drive about in the city in their modern, sleek, efficient cars, seldom spare a thought for the trials of their pioneering brethren. "H.N." writing in the Cape Times, tells of his discovery of a book of about 25 years ago. It is called "Complete Hints and Tips for Automobilists." and here are some of the hints and tips:— "I have run a car with honeycomb radiator that was not 'weeping,' but the action of which was more like a water-pot. My cure was a double handful of bran at weekly intervals for some five months before the car passed out of my keeping. . . I must have put in at least a peck of bran, and where it all went to is more than I can say, but it never had the slightest effect on the cooling, nor did the pump, which was a rotary varied pump, suffer."
