 Automobiles now afford such good weather protection, with their wind shields, tops and side curtains, that it would be real pleasure to drive through a rainstorm on tolerably good roads if 1t were not for the fact that the rain covers the windshield with fog and obscures the view. Various me chanica1 devices have been invented to clear the windshield periodically by means of a sort of squeegee, but there is little inclination on the part of the motorist to carry devices of this sort for which he has need only on rare occasions. The formation of fog can be prevented by smearing over the glass a mixture of kerosene and g1y- cerine in equal proportions. This will cause the raindrops to roll right off as soon as they strike the glass. Kero- sene is generally carried in the side lamps and glycerine can be obtained in any drug store. but it would not be a bad idea for those who drive con- stantly to carry 8 bottle of the mixture ready prepared.

 Wire wheels are very much lighter than the wooden artillery type of run ming gear, but have been developed in such way that they do not look un- substantial under the largest car body in fact, they add distinctly to its grace, as they do to it's comfort.
 The advantages of the wire wheel in tire saving, particularly. and in su- perior strength have been proved con cIusively. The metal radiates the heat created in running and prevents the disintegration of the tires which wooden wheels encourage because they
