A little boy, the youngest member

trifles, picked up a powder puff. Look

MAKING TIRE REPAIR ON ROAD

Seldom Break Down as Roads Are

Making tire repair on the road
has become very simple operation
in recent years. Such repairs have to
be made only at rare Intervals now
adays. because tires arc so much
better that they seldom break down,
and roads are so much better that tho
danger OF puucturcs and biow-outs
is greatly diminished
The development In materials
which make the repairing operation IL
very simple matter has eliminated
most OF the discomfort of making
an emergency repair on the
road. and the number of these ma
tcrials has been reduced TO such an
extent that about all Il motorist need
