outing, locating it during the summer months along the New 

 England coast, and transferring it during the winter months 

 to Florida, Southern California and other semi-tropical climes. 

 It is quite natural, therefore, that the paraphernalia for those 

 who give themselves over to outings should increase in extent 

 and variety. 



The latest catalogs of "outing shoes" show six new varieties 

 not hitherto oflfered the public. Briefly described and illus- 

 trated they are as follows: 



First is the "Varsity," a white duck shoe made with a welt 

 and having a white rubber sole with wedge heel. This shoe 

 is intended for both men and women and is made in both 

 "Oxfords" and "Bals." The "Rambler" is quite similar to the 

 "Varsity" in its general appearance and construction except 

 that it has a full heel instead of a wedge heel. The "Rover" 



effects being an obvious concession to the prevailing tastes 

 at the present time for multi-colored footwear. 

 Another "Veranda" pump for women is made 

 of white duck and white rubber, with black 

 trimming around the edge of the upper, and 

 provided witli a strap. A better idea of these 

 various shoes can be obtained from the accom- 

 panying illustrations. 



A new last has also been introduced this 

 year in outing shoes for children, called the 

 "Nature" last. The accompanying cut showing 

 the forward half of one of these shoes, viewed 

 from above, gives a very good idea of its natural lines 

 and comfortableness. [United States Rubber Co., New 

 York.] 



CORD TIKES FOR AEROPLANES. 



Resiliency and security against 'blow outs" are important fac- 

 tors in aeroplane tire building, while large tire section diameter 

 is necessary to provide maximum cush- 

 ioning qualities. The superior resiliency 

 of cord tires has long been recognized, 

 and the success achieved by tires of this 

 type in automobile track races demon- 

 strates the fact that they rarely "blow- 

 out." 



The illustration shows a new Good- 

 year aeroplane cord tire. It is the 26 x 

 4 regular clincher which contains from 

 four to six cord layers, insuring extreme 

 reinforcement. [The Goodyear Tire & 

 Rubber Co.. Akron, Ohio.] 



EVERY MAN HIS OWN HAIR TRIMIIER. 



Every man who has entered a barber shop for the purpose 

 of securing a plain and simple haircut and has been interro- 

 gated by the industrious barber as to whether he did not want 

 in addition a shampoo, dry or wet ; electric massage, an eye- 

 brow trim and an alcohol rub will be glad to learn that if he so 

 elects be can from now on trim his own hair in the quiet and 

 solitude of his own home. An inventive genius, obviously a 



THE "SKUDDER CAR.' 



,\n interesting new mechanical vehicle 

 for children from 3 to 12 years old is 

 called the ■'Skiuldcr Car." It can be propelled at a speed of 

 10 miles per hour on smooth pavements by the rider. It is pro- 

 vided with ball bearings and solid rubber tires. [The Skudder 

 Co., Straus Building, Chicago.] 



friend of all mankind, has devised a simple and inexpensive 

 apparatus which enables the owner to do his own hair trimming 

 when and where he will. It consists of a hard rubber comb 

 to which safety blades are attached. These blades can be ad- 

 justed in such a way that the hair may be trimmed long or 

 short, as desired, or one part of it trimmed long and the other 

 part trimmed short. In addition to saving the time wasted while 

 waiting for "Next!" this little instrument is obviously a saver 



of expense. [.American Safety Hair Cutter Co., Pittsbursh.
