auto COLLIDES With FIRE
ROPE. HURTING DRIVER

A siX-seated sightseeing automo-
bile owned and being driven by Rob
ert H. Megginson. Of No. SOC West
street. last night. ran into the ropes
that had been stretched about the
ruins Of the FOord-Massey furniture
house, which was burned out last Sat
urday morning. and which were in
Tended to keep traffic off the street
because OF the danger from falling
walls.
In the car with Mr.. Megginson were
Robert Mack. William Farrell, Harry
OBrien, all of No. 1i2 Market street,
and Paul Lozier and Jessie Bfashen.
of No. 217 Jefferson street. The force
OF the impact tore the hood from the
engine in the automobile and then
tore OFF the top of the car. Before the
machine could be brought 10 a stand
still it ran into a pile OF bricks which
had fallen into the street when the
walls OF the furniture store collapsed
last Saturday night The windshield
was broken and the flying glass cut
Megginson about the hands and face.
Some OF the men in the car were
slightly scratched by the glass. but
none Of them was seriously hurt. II
is supposed the driver of the car failed
to see the ropes because Of the grow
ing darkness.

ALI Conveniences for Winter
as Well as Summer Use
OF Motor Car
ELECTRIC WIRES TO
KEEP FINGERS WARM

IN the early days of the industry
the motor car was only a sunny sum-
mer afternoons toy. The few makers
who really took the business seriously
and fitted corrugated tires, storm
tops and mud gears were looked upon
as not being good business men. Many
wondered why they did not give the
public what it wanted and let it 60
at that How far-seeing these few
makers were will be shown at the sec
Ond annual automobile show I'm the
Hotel DUPONT January 1922. by the
all-year features which have been
built into so many Of the cars.
Even a half dozen years ago the
question of what to do with the ve-
hicle when stored for the winter was
common one. But today the auto
mobile has become such necessity
that winter finds it in daily use, often
more SO than i'm summer, because
summer weather makes walking
pleasant. whereas the storms and
SHOWS of winter make riding prefer
able.
Many things have contributed tC
this winter use. The anti-freeze solu-
tion no longer attracts attention De-
natured alcohol is now commonly
used to save the radiator and the
water cooling system. Tires have been
finally raised to the size and import
ance they demand.
The winter top is another comfort
i'm cold weather. Made to fit over the
regular body. it resembles a limousine
body when applied. Foot warmers are
now commonly for sale. The eXhaus
heat from the engine is also largely
used, thus contributing comfort with.
out adding to the cost On some OF tho
steering wheels are grips made Of
insulated wire and through this a
small current from the battery flows
keeping it warm and thus insurinl
even dainty fingers freedom from
frost bites. Some cars have doors tC
the engine space. and a warm current
of air, fresh from. the front Of the
car and warmed by both radiator anC
engine, can be admitted to the from
compartment.
Inside comfort is not all. however
The car Of other days had to be
cOaXed into action by turning the
crank at the front, but the self-startel
and electric lights make it possible
to start the engine and light the
lamps by pushing a button or turning
