DISCARDED MOTOR TUBES
Among suggested uses for discarded motor tubes the following may prove useful:—
Emergency Leggings.—Cut pieces of tubing Tong enough to reach from instep to knee, removing a piece to leave the heel to project through free. As these leggings are only for an emerfoncy, they may he secured with string, hey may bo useful often when washing the car. For rattles about the house use bits of rubber on the windows, etc. Strips may also be used to deaden the noise of doors shutting, and fixed to the bottom of doors make good draught excluders. Circles glued to the bottom of chair legs will prevent grating. Knock-about Footwear.—Old hoots and shoes will continue to serve if provided with soles cut from old tubing. Children at the Beach.—Lots of fun will be got at the seaside if the children are given one or two olid tubes blown up to float. The tubes, of course, will not last long, but they are safe.
