Rain Protector for Automobile 

 Wind- Shield 



WHERE a wind-shield is used for 

 the front of an automobile, the 

 drixer's view is dimmed by rain falling 

 upon the glass. This is often a great 

 drawback in running the car. Various 

 means have been suggested for keeping 

 wind-shields clean. The accompanying 

 illustration shows one which has at 

 least the merit of originality. A rotating 

 propeller is used to driv^e off the rain 

 drops. It is claimed that this is accom- 

 plished effectually, at the same time not 

 obstructing the view, for it is a well- 



This propeller blows 

 the rain away from the 

 wind-shield 



known fact that one can look through a 

 rapidly rotating propeller. 



A Handy Automobile Grease-Gun 



ANEW grea.se-gun which saves the 

 automobile man trouble when his 

 machine needs lubricating, has been 

 placed on the market. It consists of a 

 can of grease. Attached to its side is 

 a pump gun which pushes a quarter 

 jK)und of grease into the casing every 

 time the pump is pulled up and pressed 

 down again. To prevent the grease 

 from escaping when the gun is not in 

 use, a long rubber hose with a patent 

 stopper is provided. 



With his hood made of tough glass, the driver 



can examine his motor while speeding along 



the road 



A Glass Hood for Automobiles 



USEFUL and practical is the auto- 

 mobile glass hood built recently by 

 Earl ('. Anthony of Los Angeles, Cali- 

 fornia. True, hoods of isinglass have 

 been used, but they are easily broken 

 and destroyed. This creator of novelties 

 realized this fact, and as a result of his 

 determination to eliminate this draw- 

 back came the glass "machine house." 



With one stroke a quarter-pound of grease 

 is forced into the casing
