Automobiles are not very enthusi-

The handles of the conveyances are
extremely cold and the drivers suffer
acutely when the mercury stands IN
the neighborhood of zero. 1t is only
those who use the machine for bust

winter. 1t is not a difficult matter to
wrap up the body warmly enough, and
the face can be protected against the
biting wind by the shielding devices
which have been invented, but 1t Is
not so easy to protect the hands from
the cold. In spite Of the covering OF

for the driver of high-speed car,
who is compelled to be on the alert
for emergencies and act instantly

To meet this condition of affairs a
New Jersey man has invented an
electrically heated handle, which the
chauffeur has only to grasp tightly in
his hand to derive the benefits of the
radiation from the interior. The con-
struction is such that the heat is re-
fected outward from the conductor,
the radiator filling the central space
and being completely surrounded by
the conductor wires. The cover is of
non-conducting material and is per-
forated at frequent intervals to allow
