Those bothersome raindrops simply will not let you look through the glass. A very handy scheme to overcome this, in the absence of a wiper, is to always carry in one < ? the car door-pockets a small bottle, about 40z., of a mixture of alcohol and glycerine, about'half and half. . When the raindrops get to bo a nuisance wet a cloth with some of your solution and rub it down a narrow strip of the outside of the glass, just wide enough for you to have a good range; of sight. ... Don’t' cover “the‘ whole shield with it. The idea is that the water will not remain on the coated strip; of glass, affording a good enough vision through this; panel when it is raining. /•' Then 1 vas, soon as it stops, look through the-uiicoated glass at the sides of the panel. This saves you wiping off, the glass every few minutes, and you - afforded a good view ahead at all times.' The glycerine-alcohol mixture can be rubbed off. easily when /you are ready to clean the shield after the rain has stopped. ■ •
