Riding high among recording artists their Apollo contract has gained for the Melody Masters consistent record hits. From the sensational ‘Wig Blues," “My Baby,” and “Don’t Ever Mind Them" to their latest novelty tune “Subway Cutie" the Melody Masters have - climbed their stairway to stardom. | On last Thursday the quintet (pictured above) moved into the Cafe Zanzibar in New York, following the famous Mills Brothers. At the time when the boys temporarily “halted" their climb, contracts were being inked at the Gale Agency for a senes of stellar appearances beginning with the Broadway nite club booking. , Mect thc Melody Masters: Beginning at the top is James Watson, the Baltimore lad who is noted for his early start in the Smusical world Next to Watson is Danny Owens, lead tenor. Formerly a member of the Southern Sons and solo vocalist with the ILoleman Brothers, Danny, they would have you believe, is the Beau Brummel of the group. (Well, he’s handsome-and-then-som*. ■iris!) To the left and rear of Danny is Cliff Givens who was the "original” bass to take the place of the late Orville (Hoppy) Jones Pith thc celebrated Ink Spots. An erstwhile member of the Southern Sons, Coleman Brothers and the Golden Gate Quartet Cliff g‘ "sfs sParkl* and a brilliant deep bass voice. In front of Givens is the young man with the comedy touch—the p’ersoa. boy himself—Simon Pico Payne. Then there’s the arranger for the quintet, Eric Miller, who was formerly with the Lion*1' ipton, and Count Basie Orchesra. _Dgby Coombs Railway Electric Signal ■ Thomas Edison invented the bat tery cell which powered the first electric semaphore signal ever used on an American railroad. He worked 10 years on what is some times called his greatest invention —a battery designed especially for railroad purposes, the prototype of modern batteries whose use by rail roads ranges all the way from air conditioning to the propulsion of locomotives Chesterfield of Birds The great blue heron is consid ered the Chesterfield of birds. To his middle claw is attached a small comb, with which to preen his feathers. All herons fly with their necks drawn in, and their feet ex tended. About 25 species are found in the Western hemisphere, 24 in North America. Young herons are awkward, staddly birds, comical in their expressions and attitudes. • Add Years to Life Proper oiling of electric motors will add years to their lives. Now is a good time to make a check on the alignment of the bolts and to clean dirt and dust away from the ventilation holes of the motor. If you don’t have a delayed-action fuse to protect the motor against overloads, it might be a good idea to install one. All in all, a motor checkup right now may save you hours of time and trouble later on Injection Without Needles Using the principle of oil cylinder sprays, which inject a needlelike spray, University of Maryland school of medicine has found it is possible to inject fluids into the body without use of needles of any kind. Medicinal preparations, by this new method, inject the dose in deeper than the conventional needle method, and it hurts less, special ists claim. Millions of Maps When the United Nations invaded occupied Europe they took with them 125 million maps, the result of a “combined operations” job by the corps of engineers, the army air forces and the best brains of mili tary intelligence and thousands of enlisted personnel in '.he army Aerial photographs have com pletely taken away the “mystery” of the Pacific islands, and the loca tion of every hut and palm tree. More original maps of France were produced by the Allies in 2 years than by France herself in 2,000 years. Space of Passengers . A passenger riding on a street car, trolley coach or bus takes up seven times less street space than 1 a private automobile passenger.

Such popularity must be deserving. • i Shoes of Tomorrow Air conditioned shoes are now available for industrial footwear for workers who have athlete’s feet or blisters. The insole is made of fine plastic meshlike material. Every step pumps air into the shoes. An Austrian shoemaker has announced electrically warmed shoes. A small battery fits into a cavity in the heel and keeps the shoe constantly warm. Eighty-five per cent of all the 20 million cattle hides consumed annually in the United States art used in the manufacture of shoes. Forestry in Europe The Zurich municipal forest, the Sihlwald, has been producing wood crops for nearly a thousand years, and in 1422 the city council decided that the cut of that forest should not exceed 20,000 pieces of timber per year. This order constituted the first recorded forest regulation that is known. Led by Germany, Swe den and France, all the principal European countries now have gov ernment forest agencies in many cases have laws to regulate the cut ting of timber on private lands. Nature of Wool I What is wool? It is the hair at sheep, an animal fiber^ a pro* tein substance. It ranks topmost in Its field and its varied utilization in the wearing apparel industry is so great as to assure its pre-eminence In the manufacture of both smart and utility clothing, especially where protection from cold is essen tial. There are substitutes for wool, one of the most successful being Lanital, an artificial fiber made in Italy in 1936. Another, produced in | the United States in 1940, is called Aralac. Both substitutes are made from casein, a product of skimmed milk. *DEEK” WATSON AND HIS BROWN DOTS IN THEIR DEBUT AT CLUB PLANTATTOI \ The much discussed "world premiere" of "Deek" Watson’s Browt Dots ("Deek,” you recall, was one of the ’original’ Ink Spots) comes ol on February 1st at the Club Plantation in St. Louis.

Some years ago banana whisky experiments were conducted in Guatemala. Ba nana wine from fully ripe fruit al lowed to ferment in water was known in the West Indian island of Barbados as early as 1657.

When a murder was com mitted, according to custom, the community in which the murderer lived was responsible for paying the blood-money.
