LOOK OUT FOR RUSTY RIMS.
On light cars with Clincher rims
many punctures are caused by rusty
rin:s. Rust forme- in the Centre of
the rim vrliere the tube toucheslt and
the particles of rusty metal flake off
and eut the tube,
Thorough scraping, filing s, and
eleening of the rims 'and then paint-
ing them -with rirn cement is recom-
,
mended cis' el'eure for this trouble. But
Many owners do not want to go to the
trouble to care for the rim in this
way, And in any event the extra
rims cannot be used during the time
the paint' is drying.
A strip of adhesive tape, such as is
•*used in bandaging, when Put 'round
the rim accomplishes the same result
as the paint. The riin shoUld,of

'eoutse; be cleaned thoroughly. ,Then
the strip of adhesive is put in place
all the 'way round the ritri. It is bet-
' ter not to have the Point in the strip
come at the valve hole. This 'holecan
he cut ant of the strip after it is in
place.
The tape seems quite sticky enough
or till purposes, but will stick on
eve e better it it is warmed ley holding
it over a stove Just bo,oro it is put
in place.
Straight side tires have a flap Which
is put in place to protect the tab..... The

The two walls are built first, The
