Columbus Enquirer-sun: Ten days ago
neatly dressed young man arrived in
Columbus and wrote upon the register Of
the Central hotel, Harry Clark, Bruins
wick" Saturday night he wrote Harry
Clark" on a blank check filled in the space
after the dollar mark with the figure "20 "
and summed up the total with another
mans name. The result netted him an
advance of "a from Proprietor Green, and
subsequently berth at police headquar-
tiers. On the register there some care
less penman wrote Harry Clark, forge
~" To judge from his methods young
Clark is not an old hand at this work
as his effort is said to have been extreme
~ amateurish and clumsy. The forged
check was an order on the Fourth Ma
tional Bank, TO which the signature, S.
A. Carter was appended. Clark has re-
turned the money and probably viii not
be prosecuted.
Atlanta Constitution: Prof T. s. Grimes,
who was for four years a teacher at the
Tech" and who IS now with the Van
Wrinkle Gin and Machinery Company, has
invented an instrument for the quick re-
pairing Of bicycle tires that promises 10
revolutiOniZe bicycle tire repairing and
give slngle-tube tires a boom. Before the
invention Of the new repairing instru-
ment II was very difficult matter to
repair punctures In single tube tire. It
was necessary TO burn out the puncture
with a heated wire in order to insert the
rubber riyet used In repairing the pune
cure. In burning out the puncture other
parts OF the tire are sometimes injured
and the hole sometimes burned too large.
When burned with the heated wire the
tire Is always weakened. Prof. Grimes
invention does away with the use OF the
heated wire and causes bicycle repairing
20 be as easily done "a the repairing OF
other parts OF the wheel. The instru-
ment is very simple and is composed of
only two pieces. 1t weighs about two
ounces and can be. carried in the vest
pocket. The end of the instrument that
enters the punctures has the appearance
OF the end of screw and can be easily
screwed through the tire with little eXer-
ton on the part Of the operator. The por-
ton that has been screwed through the
tire forms an inner support for the cut
ter. The cutter, operated by the thumb
and finger, revolves and cuts out clean
round hole. making IL a matter of the
greatest ease for the rubber rivet TO be
been examined by men who are well up
in matters of this kind and has been pro.
nounced by them as a good invention
Prof. Grimes, the inventor, has had ii
patented and in a short time the manu-
featuring Of IL will be begun. The great
advantage that this instrument has over
all others is in the fact that it is always
ready for use and will repair a puncturC
in minutes time that may
take place while the rider i:
" and as well as it can be repaired il
the city. With the heating iron II is i'm
possible to repair the puncture on the
road, as a IRE is not always a thing &
be had and it is necessary to use sticky
tape for temporary repair until a repail
shop can be reached. The new instru
ment does away with all Inconvenience!
OF this kind.
