EVAPORATION MINIMIzED
Restores Alcohol Vapors
To Liquid Form.

Prices of gIycerine having scared
to almost impossible heights ION ac-
count of the war" many motorists
have turned to alcohol as the anti
freeze fluid for the radiators of their
cars Alcohol serves quite well in pro-
tecting the radiator and cooling sys-
TEN from freezing, but its rapid evapo-
ration when heated necessitates fire.
duent renewals throughout the win
ter Now engineers have found way
to minimize the effects OF evapora-
tion.
In announcing this latest improve
ment the Cadillac Company states
that 1t is covered by basic patent
rights.
The device is strikingly simple in
as a trap for the alcohol vapors that
ordinarily escape. condensing them
and returning them in condensed form
to the active part of the cooling sys-
tenn. 1t consists OF a small tank and a
pipe connecting the bottom of the
tank with the overflow pipe of the
radiator. When the heated liquid in
the radiator vaporizes--as always oc-
ours in motor car operatiOn-both the
alcohol and water vapOrs are carried
through the pipe to the bottom of the
tank, which is partially filled with
the same liquid as is in the radiator.
As the vapor bubbles up through this
liquid It is restored to liquid form and
saved.
The top OF the radiator is made air
tight by a special gasket in the ra-
diatOr cap. The cap of the condenser
tank is provided with an air vent.
When the liquid in the radiator be-
comes cooled. a vacuum forms and the
condensed fluid is forced back into
the circulating system.
The condenser also conserves the
water supply in hot weather-an ad
vantage when motoring through ter
rItory where water is not easily avail
able. The engineers tested IT with
excellent results during the coolest
weather of last winter and the ex-
tremely hot weather OF last summer.
Condensers are now being placed on
type 55 cars-the current model-as
a standard part Of the car.

PATENTS SAFETY DEVICE
Pressure on Brake Pedal Illumin.
ates Warning Sign.

Guy w. Conner. a conductor on the
Illinois Central railroad. has invented
and patented an automatic safety signal
for automobiles. designed after the rail-
road safety signals that have done much
to eliminate accidents in railroading.
Corners device is entirely automatic. 1t
operates without the touch or thought
of the driver, thereby making, il the only
practical safety signal that has as yet
been recorded.
1t is attached to the tail-light and
license number bracket in the rear of
the car. and operates co-incident with
the working of the automobile brake.
Thus. whenever the driver presses his
brake to slow down his car a semaphore
appears from behind the license num-
Der. flashing the word STOP" in large
letters as a warning to the automobiles
in the rear. In daylight the word
Stop" appears in white letters on a red
metal board that can be plainly read
for a distance of 200 feet behind the
car. At night the letters. which are
made of opaque cellaloid,. are lighted
from within by an electric light flashing
a bright illuminated stop which can
be easily seen.

LITTLE CHANGE IN
PATHFINDER MODEL
TweIve-CyIinder for 1917 Is Un-
altered, Except for Various
Refinements.

The Pathfinder Company, Indian
apolis. is entering the 1917 season
with its twelve-cylinder model unal-
tered in any of the important items.
but slightly refined throughout. The
only noticeable outward change on
the touring car is in the wind shield.
which now is Of the popular slanting
type, instead of the vertical, but the
clover leaf roadster still shows the
usual position for the shield. Three
stock models are offered-a seven
passenger touring at $3.50. three.
passenger roadster at $1,000, and q
sedan at S4,25O.
The closed model is a luxurious car
in its class and has all the fittings
and appointments expected in a car
OF its price.
Conveniently located and concealed
is a'telephone to driver, cigar lighter,
cut-gless flower vase, vanity case
equipped with. bottles. mirror. watch,
card case, and ash tray. At the rear
OF the drivers seat is a robe rail with
umbrella holders arranged at each
end. There is also a foot rest for use
OF passengers in rear seat.
The auxiliary full folding seats are
so arranged as to fold forward from
view when not in use, or on an in
stant's notice can be placed into serv-
ice, and adequate space has been re-
served so that passengers occupying
either the rear seats or the folding
seats will have plency or>room to be
comfortable.
The interior Is well lighted by dome
light, which Is controlled by indi-
vidual switch to make It permanent.
When not in use II automatically
lights, with foot lights. when side
doors are opened. Door handles and
grab handles are nickel trimmed with
hard black fubber centers.. The drI-
ver's compartment is upholstered in
long grain leather with trimmings to
match, and Is lighted with dome light.
