very emphatic on that point. The reason<br />

it is not gambling is that no one has to<br />

pay to get a chance to spin the wheel,<br />

the only condition being the purchase of<br />

fuel from the near-by gas pump. If the<br />

purchaser has the good luck to see his<br />

turn of the wheel result in the arrow<br />

pointing to the numerals one or five, he<br />

is rewarded with an equal number of gallons<br />

of gasoline.<br />

DON'T LET YOUR MOTOR<br />

CATCH COLD<br />

"VY/E don't know whether anyone yet<br />

has applied a hot-water bag to his<br />

automobile engine in winter, but almost<br />

every other means has been, and will be<br />

used to keep this important member of<br />

the family in good working condition.<br />

Anyway, after<br />

all the books<br />

and magazines<br />

have said on the<br />

subject of how<br />

the battery is<br />

less efficient in<br />

The Electric Heater<br />

—an Easy Method<br />

Your Purchase Premium Is a Chance to Win More<br />

Gasoline<br />

When you buy one gallon or more at this pump, you<br />

thereby are entitled to whirl the wheel at the left. If the<br />

dial comes to rest at one or five, respectively, you win one<br />

or five gallons of gas. If you do not win, however, the<br />

trial costs you nothing extra.<br />

ferior gasoline now on the market not<br />

readily vaporizing when cold, suffice it<br />

to say the engine has simply got to be<br />

kept warm. So how shall it be—by electricity,<br />

gasoline, gas, kerosene, or by<br />

radiator covers ?<br />

Of course the radiator cover in some<br />

form is as important in winter as is the<br />

horse blanket. A number of manufacturers<br />

are making covers in two parts,<br />

so that the hood can be raised without<br />

necessitating the removal of the cover.<br />

For the man whose garage has a gas<br />

supply there is a new gas heater that<br />

lights itself, without matches, and keeps<br />

the engine warm. By simply turning a<br />

knob the. heater starts<br />

its work. It is simply a<br />

small warm-air furnace,<br />

the heat radiating from<br />

the top. It has nonconducting<br />

sides, and<br />

may be placed close to<br />

a car without<br />

scorching it or<br />

damaging the<br />

finish.<br />

If electricity<br />

is preferred<br />

there is the<br />
