Chicago AutOist'a scheme to shoot
Hot Air at AnnOyers.
A novel device known by the shnrSly
defined term of kid eradicator" re-
Gently made It's appearance In Chi
cago Among motorists In that city 1t
has attracted considerable attention.

shows no tendency to secure pntcnt
the idea may be copied without fear
Of infringement upon prior rigll says
the New York Times. The "kid eradl-
Gator" consists Of hot air Jet placed
out Of sight near the rear step. When
small boy attempts to steal ride,
after the Ice cart fashion, he uncon-
sclously rings small electric bell
plncod near the drivers seat. The
driver then presses plunger which
shoots Jet of hot air upon the In
truder's legs. 1t is said to be very ef-
fectlye, particularly when driving
through sections Of the city that are
unusually infested with mlschievous
children.
The Chicago autoInobilist who has
perfected this ingenious device does
not believe in getting along with as
few accesso, ~ to his machine as Is
absolutely necessary, Instead, he has
developed mania for equipping h.
car with as many fods and fancles as
possible He is said to hold the record
for the number Of fittings on his car
Besides the kid era'iicator" he has six
lamps for various purposes, clock, a
barometer, a thermometer grade In
dicator. an odometer a speed Indicator,
huge horn known as the dragon, an
electric bell. a steam whistle and few
other things.
The various attachments have cost
the owner about $500, and his car Is an
objct OF curious interest whenever he
travels to suburban towns. The lamps
are lighted by electricity. which Is sup
