 ance is saved as the device is simple, clean and thoroughly 

 practical. [The Golfers Supply Co., 124 W. 56th street. New

PNEUMATIC MATTRESSES. 



The air mattress is not new, but is exactly as popular as ever 

 it was. The Perfection herewith illustrated has been mentioned 

 before in The India Rubber World. The particular reason for 

 its recurrence at this juncture is due to the fact that the com-

pany are supplying with one of their air mattress what is known 

 as "The Gem" sleeping bag. Today, when all who can afford 

 to do so are getting out in the open during the day, and oc- 

 cupying sleeping porches at night, the combination of air mat- 

 tress and sleeping bag is bound to hit the popular fancy. [The

RUBBER BANDS INSTEAD OF HAT FINS. 



ConuHcnting on a recent proclamation, made by the police of 

 Vienna and other European cities, against the wearing of hat 

 pins, the unprotected points of which project beyond the brims 

 of the hats they are used to secure, and which are denounced 

 as a menace to public safety when worn in public conveyances 

 or crowded resorts, a contemporary suggests a return to the 

 elastic bands, with which the wearers of '"millinery" were wont 

 to secure them in bygone years. Our contemporary intimates 

 that the best of the "protectors" proposed for the dangerous 

 points, are unsatisfactory, whereas, the elastic band, of a color 

 to match the hair, would be inconspicuous and sufficiently secure. 

 .Xnd what a boom in bat elastics the rubber industry would enjoy.
