There are many drivers. however,
who object to wearing heavy gloves,
holding that these interfere with the
operation of the vehicle. To meet
the needs of this class OF drivers,
there have been devised various
methods of warming the steering
wheel itself. One of the commonest
of these is an arrangement OF grips
at the points on the rim of the wheel
where the hands naturally fall in ma
nipulating the steering mechanism.
BY means of wires from the battery,
these grips are electrically warmed,
and obviously the hands that hold
them cannot become chilled.
OF course. supply of robes is nee
eSSary in Winter. even though the
car may be heated. for drafts are in
evitab bile. If the ordinary touring car
is used. so much the more necessary
is it to have something to bundle UP
in. The manufacturers of this type
of equipment leave no want uniul-
filled. Robes may be had in any de-
gree of elaborateness. up t9 bearskin
at a good round price.
Another suggestion that may be the
means of averting an accident Is 10
have a rouGh-surfaced mat OF some
kind fitted on the running board. In
Winter. when snow and ice gather on
the running board, the motorist
alighting from the car is very likely
to slip, with possibly unpleasant re-
suits. With a rough-surfaced mat
the foot gets hold that obviates this
danger.
In this same connection OF wraps, it
NAV be we'll to mention that heavy
wooien cover to put over the battery
in cold weather protects that delicate
part from the cold and helps to main
tain its ability to produce current
A cover for the naEneto is also use
full, if the equipment includes that
de9ice.
For the hardy souls who drive an
open car all Winter the conditions
are somewhat different. Presumably
they do not mind the cold, but they
may we'll welcome some mitigation
of its full intensity. There are now
on the market robes made to fit the
various types of cars which button
over the whole front compartment in
such way that the drivers body
from the waist upward protrudes.
while the rest of him is protected
This makes a sort Of 81 limited limou-
sine and is really very comfortable.
If the wheel is fitted with warm grips
and heavy gloves are worn, the really
hardy motoriSt Will not mind the rest
of it very much.
To those of us who remember the
early days. with the various unhappy
looking types of motoring clothes
that were forced upon us, the present
attractive types of Winter automo-
bile garments are sheer wonder.
For men there is leather coat. made
with a lining which may be unbut

really the last word in special sport

ore can pigE up many good idea

ridiculous way. His way may show
how useless the conventional method

The motorist has to be on his
guard for undesirable ideas, of course.

the idea being that this was the only
way to really clean out the many de-
pressions in the leather. Several
other people who watched him de-
cided to follow his example, and be-
fore the year was out there were as
many :leaky tops.

and would have proceeded to clean
the top with a slight damp rag.
But most motorists are content to
follow the leader in matters Of this
sort.
Most motorists are now familiar
with the fact that motordom was all
wrong when for years 1t advised
flushing out the crankcase with kero-
sene, for they are now using fresh oil
for the flushing and saving engine
trouble. But there are similar revi-
sons needed in all lines of car care,
mady of which are apparent to the
motorist who will ask himself, why
do | do this?"
1t is well to remember, too, that
cars are being improved at rate
that necessitates constant change
and Improvement in the methods of
caring for them. This is interest
ingly demonstrated in the case Of en-
gine fabrication.
For the past five years car owners
have been told to use lighter grade
of oil in colder weather. There were
many good reasons for this. but the
facts showed that many an owner

commenced unScrewing the rim lugs.

RIM" hey said. Guess he'll have to
ask the mayor to remove the street"
So they all stood around to see the
fun.
But what they saw was simply an
other instance of car owner en-
barking upon some new opinions OF
his own. This chap had been annoy
ed by a rim squeak, and he knew that
the best way TO remedy it would be
to unScrew all the lugs and then
crew them up again SO AS to force
the rim to tho felloe band equally al

would have had better luck using the
heaviest oil he could buy. He WAS
driving with his engine greatly over
heated because OF having the radiator
excessively covered, while excessive
Choking was sending quantities OF
raw gas down into the crankcase to
thin out the oil that was already thin
enough.
But this fact was no sooner dis
covered by sensible motorists than
out came the manufacturers with
more perfect fitting pistons, radiators
that could be better controlled Their

maticaIiy and devices that were do
ing away with the evils of choking
when starting cold motor. The old
advice about using lighter oil came
into vogue again, but this was only
because there had been change in
the car itself.
1t is quite an interesting problem
for the car owner, and it suggests to
him that the crank" who seems to
have foolish ideas Is we'll worth
watching.

ter Ossipee in floating the stranded
steamer. which went ashore on the
lodges off Fortunes Rocks. near Bid
