A BLACK TREAD NON-SKID MOTORCYCLE TIRE. 



By the use of the motorcycle many persons are now able 

 to lake frequent brief trips into the country and to enjoy 

 vacation tours of considerable length and interest through 

 sections with which the} would otherwise not be able to 

 familiarize themseh es 



These extended country 



trips, over roads not al- 



w a\ s oi the best, call for 



tires oi extra strength — 



and to meet this demand 



there has just been 



placed on the market a 



new and distinctive type 



of tire. This is the 



1 Irich Safety Tread 



Motorcycle Tire. It is 



built of three plies of 



heavy automobile fabric 

 and has a tread of jet 

 black rubber, similar in design to the familiar safety bar tread 

 of the Goodrich automobile tire. This new tire is most at- 

 u. nine in appearance and its maker claims for it greater 

 strength and endurance, both because of the reinforced con- 

 struction which is combined with a breaker strip and because 

 of the high quality of rubber from which the tread is made. 

 The tire is moderate in price, costing less than most of the 

 non-skid motorcycle tires on the market. [The B. F. Good-

A FOUNTAIN PEN IMPROVEMENT. 



An important development in fountain pen construction is 

 the introduction of a pen which possesses all the features of 

 the regular type while at the same time having a pneumatic 

 device for tilling it direct from the ink supply. In the illus- 



tration a small lever will he noted on the side of the pen. By 

 simply rai.-ing and lowering this lever, with the point of the 

 pen in the ink, the barrel is filled; then the lever is snapped 

 down .mil tightly closes the ink tube. [L. E. Waterman Co.,

THE BOY SCOUTS' OUTFIT NOW COMPLETE. 



Everj bo} who is a real hoy wants to belong to the Boy 

 Scouts, and the next thing he wants is the 

 khaki uniform that gives the Scouts their dis- 

 tinguished military bearing. But the trouble 

 with this equipment up to the present time has 

 been its unpreparedness for stormy days. The 

 United States Rubber Co. has remedied this 

 difficulty. It has just put on the market a new 

 rubber boot, about knee length, called the 

 "S -ut." an illustration of which is here shown. 

 Ibis boot is made in tan color to match the 

 Si uts' khaki suit and has a knit lining of the 

 same shade i >n the side there is a paper paster 

 showing a Scout waving a flag, and the same 

 design i- reproduced in blue rubber at the top of 

 the hoot. It is a very attractive adidtion to the 

 Boy Scout's uniform and thoroughly equips 

 I im for the arduous duties devolving upon 

 him. regardless of weather. 



Among the novelties in German 

 I toy manufacture is one which repre- 

 sents a French soldier being taken 

 captive b; a German, these figures being set in motion by a small 

 rubber tube with bulb attachment.
