young, both popular, with all doors to
which society has the key flung open

not stick to it; the important thing is
that they want to try it.
The fact is that we are no longer

ANTI-SKID CHAINS VALUABLE
Makers of Horse Accessories Learn

The sharp calks the blacksmith puts

That is, unless his owner chances to
have bought him set of anti-skidding
chains.
For the makers of harness and
horse accessories have learned from
the motorist, and today chains are
made to fit horses hoofs, clad in
which they can safely traverse the
most slippery hill.
The anti-skid attachments are very
simple, consisting of a stout strap
bit of rope and two strong chains that
go under the horses hoof and take
firm hold on the icy surface.
