The best finish for skis is boiled linseed oil. After two or three

applications the under side will take a polish like glass from the

The ski-toboggan is made by placing two pairs of skis together
side by side
[Illustration: Fig. 5 -- Ski-Toboggan]

with V-shaped metal clips as shown in Fig. 5.

** Homemade Life Preserver [4]
Procure an inner tube of a bicycle tire, the closed-end kind, and
fold it in four alternate sections, as shown in Fig. 1. Cut or
tear a piece of cloth into strips about 1/2 in. wide, and knot
them together. Fasten this long strip of cloth to the folded tube
and weave it alternately in and out, having each
[Illustration: Fig. 1, Fig. 2; Inner Tube and Cover]
run of the cloth about 4 in. apart, until it is bound as shown in
Fig. 1.
Make a case of canvas that will snugly fit the folded tube when
inflated. The straps that hold the preserver to the body may be
made of old suspender straps.
