One form of auxiliary windshield which will protect the occupants of an automobile from rain and wind Is made as shown in the Illustration. This shield consists of a sheet of celluloid In a brass frame screwed Jointly to the edge of the body adja cent to the windshield and to the wind shield frame. One of these shields Is used at the side of the car and the side curtains Riding In an Automobile Is Mads Much More Pleasant by an Auxiliary Shield Against Rain or Snow. are altered by extending the edges so as to fasten to the brass frames. With these a clearer vision is afforded the driver when the side curtains are In place. The transparent celluloid will not break and shatter as would glass, and when dulled It Is renewable by separating the screwed brass strips. Those shields are nbout 1- inches wide and made to correspond In height with the windshield. The polished brass enhnnces the np. pearance of the car, apart from serv ing as a frame for the celluloid. The freedom from the usual dust and dirt obviates thf use of glass or goggles. 1'opnlar Science Mont Illy. mm Me Fills 0?iT ntv'l he mstle to live more irl1a with Stm.nbers eouirimcnt.

Ten Days Free Trial GOOD ADVICE ON DRIVING MOTORS Proficient Pilot Soon Learns to Watch Road Some Distance in Advance of Car. ALWAYS ALERT FOR DANGER Some Drivers Dodge Every Little Hole, Stone, Horseshoe and Broken Bottle With Short Turn of the Steering Wheel. Some motorcar drivers run their cars along the rontl at nearly uniform speed, preserve an almost straight course, with scarcely perceptible devi ations when the rond is straight, avoid ing small obstructions on the surface as If by good luck more than Inten tion, and never getting Into tight places in tnillic that require sudden dexterous movements to prevent col lision or other accident. On the other hand, there arc drivers who dodge every little hole, stone, horseshoe and broken bottle with n short turn of the steering wheel that results in an unpleasant swaying of the car body; who slow up and start ahead with annoying frequency nnd are repeatedly treating their compan ions In the cur to thrilling moments of suspense ns they narrowly avert the running down of a slower moving pe destrian or a cyclist. Looking Ahead. These differences are noticeable alike on city streets nnd country roads, and nre amply sufilclent to make it, n delight to ride with one friend at tho wheel, and almost tor ture to sit in the car behind another. You may be unconscious of the pre cise reasons thnt give you confidence in the one and make you apprehensive with the other, yet the feeling Is there! In all probability the secret lies in this fine point In driving nn automobile the distance ahead of the car at which the driver focusses his gaze. The proficient driver has early learned to watch the road fnr in ad vnnce of his car as far, In fact, as the rond Is visible. On a straight, level rond this may be several miles, on a winding course ns far as the next turn; on u hilly rond the crest of the next rise, and on city streets as far ns the state of the trafllc permits the way to be seen clearly. Following this practice, all bad places and small objects on the surface of the road are seen long before the car comes to them, and almost uncon sciously tho car Is steered to avoid them. The action begins so enrly Hint the movement Is practically lniMTcep tlble to other passengers, mid the driv er does not find It necessary to k.ep his eyes ilxed upon the spot or object until It has passed; he has early In sured that It will not be struck by the wheels, and so contjnues to keep his eyes focused nwny ahead. Thus he avoids dropping bis eyes to watch all such near objects and raising them ngaln to the focussing point, a prac tice that becames wearisome to the driver nnd gives rise to unexpected emergencies. Indifferent Drivers. The novi'-e or Indifferent driver who concentrates much of his attention on the road directly in front of bis wheels does not see Impedluicntn fnr enough In advance tn begin n gradual move ment In avoidance of them, but must make quick turns to swing nut around 'the holes, stones nnd 'other obstruc tions. Then, with his attention Used upon the particular thing or place he is avoiding, he is unprepared for the next one, whleh he has not seen. The human eye Is like a camera In this resjiect that when focussed ujinn the distance the Immediate foreground Is also in fairly good focus, but when focussed only a few yards or two or three rods nhend, the background Is very indistinct, f 'oiiscqueutly the mo torcar driver who watches the road nt the point ot disappearance llnils that the fore-ground takeja care of Itwlf that Is, he subconsciously directs the nKivetnenls of the car without nny distraction of his attention from what Is ceuilng farther on. bis o,ir fol lows a siralghter course, tvlih long, eny sltitiiilties that do not cause any suaylng of the body, anil bis coia,nu Ion motorl-ita aenrcely realiz) tl.at there are any bad places In the road over uhich tlicy are traveling.

DRAINING FUEL FROM CARBURETOR CHAMBER Suction Device Illustrated Does Work Easily. Not Necessary to Remove Tank or 6i connect Heating and Feed Connec tionsAny Water or Parti cles Drawn Out. In some six-cyllndcr automobiles no provision Is made for draining the car buretor, or vacuum tank, without re moving them or disconnecting the heating and feed connections and al lowing the fuel In the vacuum tank to run off through the disconnected feed pipe. All this makes a lot of work and trouble merely to remove the few drops of water or particles of dirt that Interfere with the operation of the carburetor. Tho little device shown tn the draw ing will quickly draw all the fuel from When Draining the Contents of the Carburetor Float , Chamber and Vacuum-Feed Tank of an Automo bile, the Suction Device Illustrated Makes It Unnecessary to Discon nect the Float Chamber. the carburetor nnd vacuum tank with out removing anything but the cover of the float chamber. Two pieces of niflnl tubing nre In serted tliroiigi a . tight-fitting cork, fitted Into a quart bottle. One tube leads to a common type of small bi cycle pump, In which the leather wash er on tho plunger has been reversed to produce suction insteud of pres sure. A l'.li-shot Is dropped Into the short rubber connection between the pump nnd bottle, to serve as a check valve. Ity removing the screws holding the cover of the float chamber It can be lifted off, then the second rubber tube is Inserted so that Its end will reach tho lowest part of the float chamber. Tpon operating the pump, the contents of tho carburetor nnd vacuum tank are sucked into the bottle without spilling a drop, and uny water or par ticles ot dirt thnt may be present will be brouglii along.
