Stormy or Indictment Weather
Does Not Interfere With
Motoring.
ACCESSORIES ALL TEND
TO COMFORT OF RIDERS
Then, Too, Advocates Of Hygiene
Like the Cold, Crisp
Air.

The time is rapidly passing when
motorists put up their cars for the
winter on account Of the stormy and in
clement weather. 1t hasn't been many
years since advice used to be offered
the motorist as soon as the snow began
to fly on how to prepare his car during
the winter months when 1t was on dead
storage 1t is all different nowadays.
Not only do the limousine. coupe and
landaulet provide desirable means OF
transportation in cold and stormy wealth
er. but the touring car also offers eX-
hilaration that makes the sleigh as much
of a back number as the carriage.
AS result, many motorists do not
put away their touring cars in the
winter, even II they have limousnes as
alternatives, and there are great many
who use open touring cars all the year
round, even on the very coolest Gays.
Then again there are number of motor
lists who desire to maintain their touring
cars throughout the winter months and
are eauipping their machines with con-
vertible bodies. They then enjoy the
sine. according to the demands Of the
weather.
The joys of winter motoring must be
experienced a few times to be appre-
ciated Students Of hygiene will explain
how the cold. fresh air pumped into the
lungs makes the blood circulate. and any
one who steps out Of car after a few
hours on the road and goes iflto q heated
house will be 50 warm with the blood
tingling through his body that he will
see one Of the benefits of It. But to

How to Enjoy Car.
To enjoy a car in winter one must.
perforce. look well to his costume. If

the same need for warmer clothing. but
even with this one needs clothing for
use only in the car. The glass screen
Is very deservedly popular. even all
the necessity for goggles and saves
many chill in hot and cold weather
alike. But to the motorist who likes
the air in his face. and glories in the
sung Of the northeast wind. the close
ness OF the fitting of his coat is an
essential factor. Both wrists must be
protected against cold air. which
would naturally blow up the sleeves.
