CRIPPLE ACTS AS DRIVER
Legless Man Proves Skilful in
Handling His Motor Car.

Despite the fact that he Is legless, both
limbs having been cut off because of an
accident, Forrest l. Smart OF Haverhill,
Mass. finds little difficulty in operating
his Maxwell touring car, and frequently
makes a fifty mile run from Salisbury
Beach to Boston in about two hours.
He handles his car as deftly as pro-
fessonal driver.
Only one attachment was added 10 the
simple Maxwell control system lever
was fitted to the clutch pedal within
convenient reach of his left hand, and by
manipulating this lever as the average
motorist uses the clutch he is enabled to
throw his clutch in and out.
1T was the simplest thing in the world
for me to operate the car" said Mr..
Smart. THE clutch presented the only
difficulty, and that was quickly eliminat-
ed, as you can see. i feel absolutely no
sensation that the car is liable to get be-
yond my control.

command / can enjoy riding much better
than If | were dependent on others to
take me out The installation OF a self
starter has made the entire problem easy"

CURTAINS BATTLE STORMS
Novel Arrangement Makes
Year Round Motoring Easy.

To baf1e the storm king in his assaults
on motoring comfort has been long the
aim of automobile designers and body ex-
perts. Improved windshields and tops
have helped somewhat toward this end
There are now on the market number
of practical automobile stoves and foot
warmers. Special brands Of robes and
cold weather clothing have been evolved
The inclosed body types multiply on city
streets in all their glory Of coupe, sedan,
landaulet and limousine.
Many motorists whose means permit
maintain separate equipment for cold
weather motoring. But the average man
either garages his car on blocks during
the coolest weather, or else does his best
to last It out, muffied well in furs and
getting whatever benefit he can from his
side curtains.
Ii recently occurred TO one Of the Stude-
baker engineers that the side curtain
might be made to swing with the door
He worked out curtain Of this kind and
found II necessary to add only a few
pieces OF supplementary construction, cas-
lily removed when open sides are desired.
The advantage was so plain that the
plan was worked out TO a logical concu-
sion with a series OF curtains which would
tightly inclose the entire passenger COM
partment Of Stakeholder 100" roadster.
One of the details is a flap from the top
which clips snugly 10 the top of the wind
shield. effectively closing a joint always
troublesome with the old style curtains.

baker system makes a car perfectly
tight, excepting two small holes for VEN
