Popular Styles of Tire Boots.

the casing, and also from protruding
through the opening. Some of these
are made with flaps which are Sc
cured under the rim of the wheel as
the tire is applied. This is the type
most generally used. Another kind of
inner patch Is one which is laced on
or fastened around the tube and pre-
vents any bulge or contact with the
fractured casing. The type of boot
that is applied on the inside of the
tire does not prevent the entrance of
water and sand, and this soon Injuries
the tire further. Strong sections of
old castings make serviceable blowout
patches when the bead is removed and
the edges are thinned down.
In times of emergency toYel can
be pressed into service as a Blowout
patch.-Farm and Fireside.

TIRE BOOTS AFFORD
NEEDED PROTECTION
Patches Prevent Inner Tube
From Blowing Out.
Several Kinds Of Devices In Use-
Type Most Generally Used Is In
serted Inside Of casing-Towel
Comes in Handy.

A blowout patch, or boot, is one
which is placed either inside or on the
outside of casing to prevent the in
ner tube from blowing out. If the tire
carcass has a weak spot 1t should of
course be vulcanized If the tire Is
worth it. But If the tire is so badly
worn or damaged as not to be worth
vulcanizing, blowout patch may be
used to strengthen the weak point.
There are several kinds in general
use.
The "hook on" kind, as the name
implies is a type that hooks on over
the tire around the rim of the wheel
and securely reinforces the fractured
place in the casing. These patches
however, make rather rough-riding
proposition. Every time the wheel
goes around and the patch comes in
contact with the ground, distinct
jolt is felt by the occupants of the car.
A similar boot is also made in the
"lace or" style-that is, it can be
laced on over the bad place in the cas-
ing by a lace which passes through
metal eyes in the same manner that u
shoe Is laced.
Blowout patches inserted inside the
casing prevent the tube from coming
in contact with the broken fabric of

Reds and Art.

The Russian Reds are guilty of much
rough work, but it appears that they
do sometimes know and reverence the
treasures of art. The famous Her
mitage gallery in Petrograd has been
reopened and again all the paintings
it once contained, except few unim-
portant ones, are hung. In this collec-
tion are great masterpieces bearing the
names of Titan, Van Dyck. Rem
brandt, Velasquez and Murillo. The
Bolsheviki removed the paintings to
Moscow in the spring of 1918 when it
was feared the Germans would capture
Petrograd, and the priceless paintings
were placed in the hands of commit
tee at the head of which is the novel
ist, Maxim Gorky. Private collections
which the owners turned over to the
Gorky committee are also safe.

driven by strong wind and accom-
panied by lightning. Telephone
lines were put out of order and two
large trees falling across the street
and tearing down the electric light
wires placed the city in darkness.
AT 10 o'clock the street lights were
turned on, but private electric light

all night.
One flying boat was completely
overturned and its engine sub
merged. Another had one of its
wings torn from it by the high wind

.FREL|NGHUYSEN
BILL BEATEN
Senator Charges Powerful
Lobby Against His Coal
Measure in Congress
BY GEORGE II. MANNING
washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening Ncws.)

WASHINGTON, June 30-Sena-
tor Joseph Frelinghuysen's coal
bill went down to defeat in congress
yesterday when, after debating the
measure nine days, the senate by a
vote of 3S to 26 rejected it and sent
it back to committee for amend
ments.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, Repub-
lican, one of the recognized progress
sive men in congress, who offered
the motion to recommit the bill.
stated that while he favored leg
islation along the line of the Ere
linghuysen bill, that measure was
very faulty and would not bring
about the benefits claimed for it.
But before the bill was thrown
into tho discard Senator Freling-
huysen gave warning to opponents
of the measure in the senate and
the coal dealers associations which
have conducted propaganda against
it, that before another year passed
they will be compelled to yield to
the demand of the public for a bill
to regulate the coal industry that
will not be so mild as the one he
proposed.
The rejection of the Frelinghuy-
sen bill entirely discards the work
the senate committee of interstate
commerce has been doing for the
past two years in investigating high
prices and famines in coal and. ac-
cording to Senator Frelinghuysen
leaves the public in the grip of the
coal trust to be gouged and frozen
rext winter.
The Frelinghuysen bill granted the
Interstate Commerce Commission
authority to reduce freight rates on
coal in summer and make cores
ponding increases in winter. in order
to induce the heavy movement pur-
chase and storage of coal in the sum-
mer months when the mines and coal
cars are idle so as to relieve the
heavy load in winter when it is diff
cult to mine and transport coal and
when the great public necessity for
fuel enables the coal dealers to get
any price they demand.
THE propaganda conducted
against this bill and against all coal
legislation, inaugurated and con-
Quoted by remarkably well organ
lied lobby of coal operators. some
of whose representatives now sit in
the gallery of this senate, is so pow
erful, feel satisfied my bill will be
defeated" asserted Senator t'rel-
inghuysen n few minutes before the
vote was taken scrapping his bill.
This is probably my swan song
on this bill. | shall not attempt to
make it very melliferous. but | shall
try to make it very plain and simple
so that he who burns coal may un-
derstand."
Senator Frelinghuysen then re-
viewed the WORK leading up to tkis
bill from the time in July. 1919,
when he offered a resolution direct
ing an investigation of the coal in
dustry to determine the cause of
high prices. The resolution passed;
he (Frclinghuyson) was appointed
chairman of the subcommittee which
conducted the Investigations and the
committee then brought in the bill
which was also approved by the In
tcrstatc Commerce Commission.

Damage at MataWan

lBy Evening News Correspondent
MATAWAN, June 30:-Consider-
able damage was done in this sec
ton yesterday afternoon and last
night by the heavy rains and winds.
Although the lightning was sharp,
only one house was reported as be-
ing struck, and that was at Oak
Shades. Aside from plaster being
torn from the walls and ceiling of
this house, no other damage was
done.
Many of the roads in this vicinity
have been badly washed by the rain
and all are in a muddy condition. 1t
is hardly expected that they can be
placed in condition again in time for
the heavy traffic over July 4, but
road committees have already begun
work to do this if it is possible.
Not only were the streets and
roads damaged by the storm but the
East Long Branch division of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey
came in for it's share of trouble. 1t
is reported that when the draw
bridge was opened at Atlantic High
lands early today, it could not be
closed. This delayed the trains on
this division for a considerable
length of time. Many of the com
muters who depend on expresses
from this division to get them to
work found it necessary to take the
slower trains.
Telephone and electric light serv-
ice was put out of commission in the
borough during the storm on Tues
day, and this service was further
damaged yesterday. Although the
electric light company was able to
repair lines and replace fuses so
that many of the residents were with
light last night, the telephone serV-
ice in many instances is still out of
commission
