The stethoscope is the instrument
which has found its way into the

The motor of nearly every car is to-

ROPE is GOOD SUBSTITUTE
Some Emergency Device Is often Nee
essary After Shower to Prevent
Gar Skidding.

A summer shower occasionally
makes it necessary for the driver of a
passenger automobile or a truck to use
some emergency device to prevent the
skidding and slipping of the wheels.
At such time it always happens that
he tire chains are in the garage and
some makeshift has to be provided.
One tire company suggests that in
such an emergency a rope wrapped
around the tire at intervals will give
he traction necessary and will do even
less injury to the tires than chains.
The rope should be reeved through
