Electric Bulb In Glove.

When the automobile driver is about
to stop or turn corner in the daytime
his extended arm warns the cars be-
hind him of his intention. When he
wants to turn or stop at night, his
warning arm is likely to be lost in
darkness. A new glove has been put.
ON the market, which has tiny cleo
tric bulb fastened to the back, wired
to light battery in the drivers pocket
BY closing his fingers in certain way
the driver can close the light circuit
and light the bulb on the back of the
glove. Thus his extended warning
arm carries a clearly visible point of
light for night driving.
