New Radiator and Garage Heater.

One of the latest automobile acces-
sories which might appeal to the
motorist. especially at this season Of
the year. is the Neverout radiator and
garage heater. This device is hung
on the radiator of the car. A hose
is attached t" the pet cock beneath
the radiator. while another hose leads
from the heater reservoir into the top
of the radiator. When the burner is
lighted the water begins to circulate
and continues circulating from the bot
tom of the radiator through the heater
reservoir into the top of the radiator,
thereby keeping the water continually
heated. The heater also heats the
garage at the same time that il heats
the water in the radiator.

Association Presidents Comment

President Wilson of the A A. A, COM
mentins upon the situation, says
''rhe inference of the highest court
that there should be d national law COW
ering the subject should prompt our i'm
mediate attention to the matter, for it
is certainly u most unusual situation
when q citizen of the United States is
not free to travel in any section of the
country after he has provided himself
with an Identification number. from his
home state. The European countries,
with different languages and different
customs, have agreed upon an interna-
tonal plate Of identity, and also an in
ternationa1 triptyque relating to customs
duties.
For instance. a motorist of France
after having obtained a home number
which, incidentally. allows him to operate
IL car III any part OF France-then obtains
III his own country an international plate,
| which is acceptable in practically every
o,Eer country in Europe, and he can cross
ana recroSS international boundary lines
without any trouble whatever Surely if
european countries can agree in a mat
ter OF this sort, it does not seem reason
able that the several states Of the Union
| ana the capital District of the country
shouid be unable to provide for free and
| uninterrupted road travel II is now
PROVIDE sturdfer road construction because
OF the multiplying of a faster and more
