The importance of such .iro- ection is measured by the fact that a mere finger-print. on some delic- ste mechanisms of warfare will cause rust ihivt may result in faulty performance or failure.

ASBESTOS COVERS MAY SAVE TIRES

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 -—(CPl—- A New York inventor has an idea i0!‘ saving automobile tires - by doll- ing them up in asbestos overcoats.

Philip Glasser has applied for l patent on a method of using M" dlnarv asbestos brake lining as a covering material. and he 61811"! that tires so covered will be vir- tually lmmung to punctures. Y

Under Glassefs system - he! already tried it on an experimen- tal basis - a relatively small a- mount of metal and rubber has to be used along with the brake lin-
