A writer in The India Rubber World calls attention of bicyclists to the fact that animal oils are very destructive to rubber products, such as bicycle tires. It makes no difference how good the compound may be; a little spot of ani­ mal grease in contact with the tire injures the rubber. A careful exami­ nation of many bicycle oils shows that they are partially of animal origin. Mineral oils are not nearly so apt to injure the rubber. In fact, many of them are not injurious at all. when ap­ plied in small quantities, while many vegetable oils are in a measure helpful to rubber. DON'T RE Automatic Car Brake.
