RUBBER FLOOR MATS.
Most of us are familiar with sev-
eral various uses for discarded inner
tubes. Few know, however, that these
discarded relics can be made into floor
mats, requiring but a short time and
little labor.
The old tubes are • first cut into
trips. The strips are then woven or
nterlaced with each other, basket

ouble width and turned over.. These
trips should be cemented in place.
A row of brass rivets, placed
round the edges, improves the ap-
arance greatly, in addition to mak
