USEFUL PORTABLE LAVATORY
Question of Washing Hands After
Making Necessary Repairs Solved
by Cincinnati Man,
Often it happens that motorists are
bliged to stop and repalr their ears
far from any available water supply.
and then It is a question of washing
their hands. Annoying, often,
But Edgar 8. Curtiss of Cincinnati
has devised a portable lavatory, which,
having the outward appearance of a
suitcase, may readily be put to use In
mech an emergency.
Half of it is a water tank; the other
half is a basin. All that Is necessary
is to open It and turn a tap. A small
box with a water-tight lid, to contain
a cake of soap, Is mounted on the
tank, which is also provided with a
spring clamp to hold a towel,
Thus the motorist ean wash his
hands at a moment's notice, dry them,
empty the basin by unscrewing a cap
which closes the outlet and so go on
his way rejoicing.
