The words stung Joe. He paused in his dressing. "Tight-wad?" he mused. "So that's what they call me. Well, it isn't a very nice name, but if they think I'm going to spend my money on blow-outs for the crowd they're mistaken. I'm not going to be so foolish."
"Aw, we'll have buckets of grub," said the smith. "We'll ask 'em all to 'please bring refreshments, same as they do in families where they never git a good square meal except at surprise-parties and birthday blow-outs. Don't you fear about the feed." "Well, we ought to git the jig to goin'," suggested Field.
The safest way is not to smoke at all, but at least don't smoke until you get your growth. People who own automobiles have a great deal to say about "tire-trouble." There are a great many kinds of tire-trouble. In the first place, a tire often gets punctured by a nail running into it. Then there are "blow-outs" caused by the inner tube giving way.
We are to secure all "loose objects"; hood up our Fleury Rays; and "on no account to attempt to clear snow from our conning-towers till the weather abates." Under-powered craft, we are told, can ascend to the limit of their lift, mail-packets to look out for them accordingly; the lower lanes westward are pitting very badly, "with frequent blow-outs, vortices, laterals, etc."
"This is to be a voyage of discovery, but don't discover any punctures or blow-outs this evening." Then he glanced at Ruth's rather serious face beside him and muttered to himself: "And we want to discover principally the smile that Ruth Fielding seems to have permanently lost!"

But in the quiet little western town of Golden Crossing shots were rather a novelty.
But he's just to confounded lazy. He'd rather draw a check, give an order for a spread, and let it go at that. "Of course the fellows like to go to the blow-outs, and come home with a headache.
For three hours Tom had been scouting stealthily along this shore section, well to the west of the breakwater. For, in pondering over the explosions, Tom had come to the conclusion that the blow-outs on the retaining wall, however accomplished, were controlled from a point to the westward of the sea wall. This conclusion had been rather a simple matter to a trained engineer.
"I found in this air," replied Kennedy, "a very peculiar mixture an explosive mixture." "An explosive mixture?" echoed Orton. "Yes, Jack, the blow-outs that you have had at the end of the tunnel were not blow-outs at all, properly speaking. They were explosions." We sat aghast at this revelation.
A scout is supposed to save life, scout law number six; let's have a couple of thousand hot dogs, will you? We're dying. And forty-eleven dozen doughnuts with the holes removed." "Do you I eh do you need any tire tape?" Pee-wee stammered, playing for time. "Tire tape! What do you take us for? A lot of blow-outs? Let's have some eats and we'll take care of the blow-out."
