 hand strap for carrying, and a loop on the lining case by which

PURSE-LIKE TOBACCO CONTAINER. 



The container for tobacco and cigarette papers, shown in the 



photograph, is lined with rubber to preserve the natural moisture 



of the tobacco which may be within. There is a small pocket 



to accommodate cigarette papers, and the whole folds together 



like a purse and is held by a strap 



and snap fasteners. The case 



may be had in black fine-grained 



«~^^^^^B seal or tan pigskin, black cobra 

 ^^^^^B seal, or brown pin seal. It is five 

 ^^^^B and one-half by four inches in 

 size. Initials may be stamped 

 above the fastener if desired. 

 Both the cases are from the 

 same house. (Mark Cross Co.,

AUTOMATIC BARREL FILLER. 



Garage men and others handling lubricating and other kinds 

 of oil rind a barrel filler a great convenience. One that is also 

 automatic should meet with additional favor. That represented 

 here includes the automatic feature and is fitted with three and 

 one-half feet of 

 metal-lined hose 

 one and one-quarter 

 inches in diameter. 

 The automatic bar- 

 rel filler may be 

 had in larger and 

 smaller sizes by 

 those who desire, 

 equipped with dif- 

 ferent lengths of 

 hose. Fittings that 

 are suitable for 

 attaching the hose 

 to' the source of supply are included with the hose. (United

RADIO HEAD SET FOR AIRPLANES. 



In order to secure for radio equipment on airplanes a head 

 set that would exclude the noise of the propeller and the effect 

 of the rushing air, there was devised a form of aviator's helmet 

 with t e 1 e- 

 ili iiie receiv-

ones onginat- 



ing in the receiver from being heard by the wearer of the 

 apuaratus. A receiver is furnished for each ear, but instead of 

 ike hard-rubber ear-pieces, there are caps of sponge rubber. 

 Tlie receivers are held in place by means of the padded leather 

 which composes the helmet, while adjustment is made by lacing 

 tlie helmet to fit closely the wearer's head. The exclusion of 

 sound is not so complete as to prevent the user from hearing the 

 exhaust from the engine and thereby determining whether or 

 not his motor is working properly. 



A RAPSON NON-SLIP UNPUNCTUR- 

 ABLE TIRE. 



Fred L. Rapson's development of 

 the non-slip unpuncturable tire is 

 composed of a heavy-tread cover and 

 inner air tube, between which is in- 

 serted a rubber deflector so designed 

 as to insure the greatest possible de- 

 cree of resiliency. Containing, as it 

 does, scientifically planned air pockets, 

 the inner tube is protected and as- 

 sured of cool running. The tires are 

 made in nine sizes, including one for motorcycles, and are fun- 

 damentally pneumatic tires,- but freed from the annoyances to 

 which the use of ordinary pneumatics subjects the user. There 

 are several different comlnnations of the component parts, one 

 form of which requires 

 a special rim and wheel. 

 but in another which is 

 suitable for fitting to ex- 

 isting rims, the tube Ues 

 close to the rim but not 

 in contact with it and 

 has the resilient rubber 

 core around it on the 

 sides and outer diam- 

 eter. (Oylers, Limited,

"JIFFY" FOR GOLF 

 BALLS. 



A compound for paint- 

 ing golf balls and the 

 hangers for doing it efficiently without soiling the hands, will 

 surely make a strong appeal to all who find pleasure in driving 

 "little white pellets over the grass." The "Jiffy" compound, 

 used with its accompanying stabilizer, will coat any ball and dry 

 so quickly, it is claimed, that the ball can be put in the pocket 

 in fifteen minutes and used on the golf course in an hour. (The 

 Pittsburgh Economy League, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.)
