Particulars given by an English motorist of a rough and ready tyre repair may prove useful in an emergency, though. extended resort to such mothods is not, of course, to he recommended. Just beforo starting out on a longish run, he remarks, I found a flint embedded in one of the covers. Fortunately it had not penetrated the canvas, but when removed it left so big a holo in tho rubber that it was only inviting disaster to continue tho run as it was. Thore was no time to vulcanise, so I filled the aperture with some ' "tyre cure", material, and regardless of tho injunction that it required some throe hours to sot securely, was about to start away when my eye fell on an iron saucepan that had been lying out in tho sun, and which was so hot that I could only just hold it. I prcssod it hard on tho repair, holding it there for some six minutes or so, and to my delight found that, to all appearances complete amalgamation had ensued. Anyway it has been, on the road for more than 100 miles since, and shows no sign of giving way.
