for these fuses to keep moisture from affecting the exploding 

 charge while being carried from point to point have been made 

 of copper, but the recent adaptation of rubber as material for 

 the covers has proved thoroughly satisfactory, and large ship-

 such as is shown herewith, are now sent across the Atlantic

ROUND ELASTIC GARTER WITH CLASPS. 



A novelty in women's round garters clasps around the leg, thus 

 avoiding the uncomfortable necessity of stooping over to put" 

 them on. A device is also afforded for making the garter larger 

 or smaller and the clasps contain no 

 metal or other corrosive material. The 

 elastic band is of silk cable web or 

 mercerized silk cable web, three-quarters 

 of an inch wide, in white, sky, lilac or 

 pink, ornamented with handsome ribbon bows. [Ivory Garter

The American llag 

 flanked by the French and 

 the British and attached to 

 the front of automobiles is 

 a popular expression of 

 patriotism and allied sym- 

 pathies which has recent- 

 ly been made more en- 

 during by the use of 

 rubberized silk in their 

 manufacture. This ren- 

 ders them impervious to 

 the effects of damp or 

 rainy weather. The three 

 flags are upheld by metal 

 rods, brass-tipped, and a 

 metal clamp secures them 

 to the radiator of the car.

 a new rubberized fabric for automobile tops. It is a three-ply 

 composition material, very soft, pliable and easy to work. It is 



claimed to be absolutely waterproof and to afford unexcelled 

 service under all conditions. Samples of DrideK rubber and 

 leather are shown in the above illustration. [L. J. Mutty Co.,

SANITARY DENTAL CHIP BLOWER. 



The old style chip blower used by dentists was a dangerous 

 instrument, since it made possible the transmission of bacteria

 the air does not enter through the nozzle, a special valve being 

 provided next to the rubber bulb and a double-acting valve in the 

 tube, so that germ-bearing matter cannot be drawn in. Red or 

 slate-colored rubber is used for the bulbs. [Yoder Manufactur-
