Comfort, Safety Keynote of Trick Inventions
The inventive mind is never at rest, and here is pictorial proof. The ingenious device at the left is a
flexible cigarette holder, guaranteed to keep smoke out of one’s eyes. Center: The dunking enthusiast’s fin
gers are now protected against hot coffee. This new doughnut is fried together with a handle, making for
both safety and grace. It was demonstrated at a recent inventor’s congress in Chicago. Right: A boon
to the lasy man is this streamlined mechanical horse, demonstrated by Max Carey, former manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers. Its purpose: Maximum exercise with minimum effort.
Art Takes to the Clothesline in Outdoor Exhibition
Art flapped on clotheslines as a brisk wind swept through Rittenhouse square in Philadelphia, Pa., re
cently. It was the annual three-day outside exhibit sponsored by the Art League of Philadelphia. Several
hundred oils, water colors and etchings were on display and for sale. Thousands of interested spectators filed
past the displays.
Midget Colony Embarks for Equine Tour
Here's a real study in contrasts at San Francisco's Golden Gate
International exposition. When the little grownups of a side show decide
to go horseback riding, they don’t have to take turns. No matter how
many midgets are around, they all climb aboard Brooklyn Supreme, the
world’s largest horse. The Belgian stallion weighs 3,270 pounds.
War? Unthinkable, Says London Woman
When Sir John Anderson, British civilian defense minister, planned
his air raid precautions shelters, he forgot all about Mrs. Dobson of
London, who, through no fault of her own, just can’t get through the
doorway of a standard shelter. Mrs. Dobson, as you may have noticed,
is somewhat oversized, and undoubtedly believes in an appeasement policy.
VERSATILE CLIPPER
Whether It's cutting the garden
hedge, sheep’s wool or a head of
hair, it’s all the same to Mr. E.
Goddard, 60-year-old Teffont, Eng
land, farmer. He has been cutting
hair for 40 years with his long steel
shears—the same length of time
spent in clipping hedges and sheep.
He is proud of his ability and claims
his work is just as good as that done
by the city tonsorlal experts.
FELINE FIREMAN
Firemen in a Cambridge, Mass.,
station are proud of "Sparky,” a
three-months-old kitten who obeys
all the rules. The mascot is shown
as she slides down the pole at the
sounding of an alarm, following one
of the firefighters.
Modem War Equipment Demonstrated at M. I. T.
Modern war equipment was placed on exhibition recently when the Massachusetts Institute of Technol
ogy held its annual alumni day at Cambridge, Mass. A three-inch mobile anti-aircraft gun claims the atten
tion of this distinguished group. Seated: Louis Johnson, assistant secretary of war. Standing, left to right:
Gerald Swope, General Electric official and member of the M. I. T. corporation; Rear Admiral Harold
Stark, U. S. navy, and Earl T. Compton, president of M. I. T.
German Volunteers in Spain Return to Homeland
Happy to leave Spain after 33 months of war were these German soldiers, volunteers in the Franco forces,
bound for the German ship which would convey them to Hamburg and their loved ones. Some 6,000 troops
of the Reich were permitted to embark for their homeland after a gala victory demonstration in Madrid.
Secretary Wallace Dedicates Refuge
The two-months-old fox pup nestling in the arms of Henry A. Wallace,
secretary of agriculture, was the first animal to be born at the Patux
ent research refuge near Bowie, Md. This refuge is the world’s first
national wildlife experiment station, and was recently dedicated by W’al
lace. Left: Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the U. S. biological survey,

’Teen Age Bridge Aces Hold Tournament
Juvenile bridge experts were given a chance to demonstrate their
card playing ability recently at the Golden Gate International exposition’s
all-w’estern 'teen age bridge tournament. Winners were Gwynne Dickson,
left, and Teggy Lou Delahide, right, both of San Francisco. Here they
are in action against Jack Dickson and George KiefTer.
ALL AMERICAN TEAM
Mrs. Edward G. Chamberlain of
Cleveland, Ohio, named the “Mrs.
America of 1938,” recently became
a proud mother. Young “Mr.
America” was named after his fa
ther and is all set to uphold family
tradition.
NO SAVAGE
Expect no Indian war cries. It’s
merely Elaine Shepard, film ac
tress, wearing the new standard
television makeup. For good tele
vision production it was found
necessary to use while high-lighting
around the nostrils, eyes and throat
hollows. Lips, eyebrows and eye
lashes are blue-black. Cheeks have
a bluish tinge. Ordinary types of
makeup have been found impracti
j cal for television reproduction.

Let Wants Seek You
We are ruined not by what we
really want, but by what we think
we do; therefore, never go abroad
in search of your wants; if they
be real wants, they will come in
search of you; for he that buys
what he does not want will soon
want what he cannot buy.—Colton.

Don’t Neglect Them I
i Nature designed the kidneys to do •
marvelous job. Their task ia to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living—lift
! tier//—ia constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
the blood if good health is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function aa
Nature intended, there la retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dis
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffinees
under the eyes—feel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty or burning passage*
may be further evidence of ltidney or
bladder disturbance.
The recognized and proper treatment
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys
get rid of excess poisonous body waste.
