anything happens to the engine member,
necessitating repairs, the power may be
easily disconnected from the rest of the
vehicle, and another engine substituted,
so that the whole vehicle will not be out
of commission.
SAFE GARAGE DOOR HOLDER
A CONVENIENT garage door holder
locks the door automatically when
open to 95 or 135 degrees. To release
the door, a slight pull on a chain is required.
By removing a screw, the holde*
serves as a lock or top bolt. It can be
applied to right- or left-hand doors or a
pair of doors can be bolted and locked by
the use of no other hardware than two
of the holders. Doors so locked cannot
be opened from the outside.
When This Holder Is Used, the Door Cannot Slam
In upon the Entering Car. If the Owner Desires.
the Holders May Be Used as Efficient Locks, Also
FOR THAT COLD CARBURETOR
A COLD carburetor means difficulty of
^^ combustion, and a device that will
warm the carburetor also warms the
motorist's heart. A little mechanism that
is clamped around the air intake pipe
consists of a collar, connected up with
the battery, whence it derives its heat.
A button on the dash controls the current.

AUTO TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND
MIRROR
IN winter, when your car is closed and
the curtain buttoned up, it is not very
easy to comply with the traffic law, when
to do so, you have to take your hand off
the wheel, stick out your arm, and let in
the wind, the cold, or the sleet. To obviate
all this, a novel warning signal in
the shape of a red hand concealed in a
mirror on the wind shield has been invented.
In case of accident, with the use of
this hand, evidence of giving warning
can be proved, because the red hand stays
out until you withdraw it. All that is
required is a little push of the finger on
the knob below your wheel on the steering
column, and the red hand of safety
shoots out warning to the approaching
car on the left.
