The position of chief of an Indian

precarious one at the best, according
to the account of Francis Parkman,

The chief dared not assume any
of the outward aspects of rank. for
fear of mourning the displeasure of
his braves. Many a man in the viii

For blow out patches FOR tircs. ami

For blow out patches for tires. and
for making fan belts. a new fabric
is being made by subjecting rawhid~
to process that makes IL nonelastic.
and then covering II with heavy
rubber-frictioned cotton duck. The
toughness of the rawhide makes the
material very puncture- proof and
durable when used on tires, and for
this purpose 1t is made In the form
of patch with two strong flaps that
tighten over the beads and hold the
patch in place. When used for fan
belts, its nonstretching property
causes it to grip all the tighter when
subjected to heat. instead Of expand
ing and slipping. as with the common
leather belt.-From the July Popular
Mechanics Magazine.
