Article Title and/or Image Caption: He Turned His Skates into Tanks
extracted text: Even skates can be made into very good tanks. That is what was done by the youngster whose product is shown in connection with this article.

Ordinary roller skates and a few pieces of tin were the materials. The side pieces reached to within a quarter of an inch of the ground, and almost disguised the fact that the rollers of the skates were the real rollers of the twin tanks.

There is much more amusement derived from the use of tanks than could possibly be obtained from just plain roller skates. Anyone who has watched the performance of the two types will admit that this is true. Chiefly, there is the fact that the tanks make the other boys envious.

This device, so far as we are aware, has not been patented. Some day youngsters like this young inventor will be taking out patents on their inventions. The engineering education of such boys is only just beginning.
