Can acquire, and it seems to be a tendency that all tires possess. It is the most frequent cause of puncture and profanity. A California physician has de- vised a very simple method of preventing most of such trouble. A nail does not plunge suddenly up to its head in a good rubber tire. It usually penetrates enough on first contact to hang on and {s driven in by repeated pressure as the wheel revolves. By attaching a short length of steel chain—like a dog chain—to each side of the mud guards, above the wheel, and allow- ing sufficient loop for the chain to lay over the tread of the tire, it will be found that (By Star when a nail is picked up it will be seized ; by the chain the first time the wheels re yolve and be neatly extracted before it has a chance to do any serious damage.
