Q.—Miss Sapho Hosley, Cos Cob,
Conn., writes in to find out if there
is such a thing as a lawn mower
with self-ejecting extra _ blades,
and, if so, where she should throw
the old ones.

Ohio, is said to have invented a
look-sharp-feel-sharp-be-sharp lawn

mower with a pack of 10 blades. We
forget his last name, but his first
name is Esau. Old lawn mower
blades should be thrown off a
bridge, never put in a medicine
cabinet.

hairs are there on the back of a
bee, and is it true a bée likes them

LTHOUGH she now has three
network programs on the air,
(‘Kate Smith Sings,’’ ‘‘Kate Smith
Speaks,’’ both on Mutual, and her
two-hour ‘‘Kate Smith’s Music
Room”? on ABC,) Miss Smith can
sit down and talk with you as if
she were just a comfortable,
homey woman who knew a lot
about cooking and housekeeping.
KATE SMITH
Unlike many of radio’s women
stars, she is not so obsessed by her
own career that an absent-minded
look comes into her eyes whenever
anything else is mentioned. Perhaps it is that warm, human quality
that makes her the most listenedto woman on the air.
When selecting ‘‘The Ten Outstanding Voices in the World’’ the
National Academy of Vocal Arts
named Ben Grauer’s as the ‘‘Most
Authoritative’? and Dan Seymour’s
as the ‘‘Friendliest,’’ because of
its warmth and complete naturalness,”
Production halted momentarily
when Jean Dean walked onto the
*“‘Angels in Disguise’ set at Monogram for her featured role in this
latest of the Bowery Boys series.
Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall and the
crew could hardly take their eyes
off the gorgeous red-head, who was
the original Varga girl model.
Formerly under contract at MGM,
she plays the feminine lead in
**Angels,.”’
Realizing during their travels
that the traffic situation is becoming worse everywhere, the March
of Time editors decided to do something about it. They consulted experts, got solutions and recommendations and ‘‘Stop—Heavy Traffic’’ is the result. It shows how bad
traffic can be, and the methods
used by some towns ‘to work ou
the problem. ‘

Q.—A lady in Minneapolis asks:
“How many turns does a waltzing
mouse make per minute, and is
food a factor?”
A. — According — to the last
quarterly report of the Waltzing
Mice Research Bureau, these creatures average three turns per second. This is sometimes slowed
down by mice cutting in during
the waltz. A pastry diet is bad, too.
Q.—A mother in Hoboken, N.J.,
asks:*“Is it true that tattooed
women are barred from Miss
America contests?’’
A.—No, but there seems to be
no demand for them. The rules
are, however, very broad. A woman
in Derby, Conn., dyed her skin red,
white and blue, and only lost the
victory in a Miss Barber Pole of
1948. contest by three lengths.
Q.—A seamstress from Tallahassee, Fla., writes to ask: ‘‘Can cornsilk be used to stuff a sofa?’
A.—Yes, cornsilk can be used,
and, it is good fun, too. Short lengths
of cornsilk make it more exciting.
Golden Bantam corn is best. Some
people have done wonders stuffing
sofas with lint collected from black
Q.—A man in Baltimore, Md.,
asks: ‘‘Will a halibut live in captivity, and where can halibut bowls
be bought?”’
A.—A man named Krossshiemovitczosky in Butte, Mont.,
once kept a male halibut in the
bathtub of his home for seven
months under the impression it
was a salmon. The barracuda
is preferred as a house pet if
what you want is adventure.
Q.—A young woman in Houston,
Tex., wants to know who invented
the clamrake?
A.—I’m glad she asked that
question. The curator of the International Clamrake Museum. and
Oyster Fork Institute says it was
designed by an Englishman named
Zilch, patented by two Frenchmen
and built by a Canadian clam trapper. This makes it a Russian invention.

UNREST ON CRUSOE’S ISLAND
(‘Unrest is reported sweeping
Robinson Crusoe’s island in the
South Pacific.’”’,—News item.)
Crusoe—Friday, you’ don’t seem
co-operative today. What’s wrong?
Friday—I’ve been Friday long
enough. I wanna be Thursday.
Crusoe—Why?
Friday—It shortens the week.
Crusoe—Come, come, you must
be joking. :
Friday—Not at all. I may even
want to make it seem . shorter by
having my name changed to
Wednesday.
Crusoe—We’re the only two men
on this island. We’ve been getting
along famously. You’ve been my
right-hand man.
_ Friday—Yes, but I feel a pull to
the left.
Crusoe — Not here, surely.
We’ve been very happy together, have we not?

capitalistic plot behind it. somehow. I’m so happy it must be’
wrong, one way or another.

me!

island is so remote I don’t even get

F PROFESSOR AARON CHESwick was famous he was not
aware of this fact. He was too busy
with his experiments in the field of
chemistry, with teaching the undergraduates of Mapleridge College
the rudiments of
elementary
Minute . science, with
«gs writing papers
Fiction and books in
which he set
forth (in an almost apologetic style)
the results of his experiments, and
with reading avidly the works of
such great scientists as Mons. Oliver Davillier and Senor Alfredo Valle
Indan, both of whom had long ago
won his respect and admiration.
He was an unpretentious looking
little man, this Professor Cheswick,
with pale blue eyes and hornrimmed glasses and a pasty complexion. He wasn’t one to attract
attention or to assert himself. He
went about with a perpetual faraway look in his eyes.
There came a time when a problem presented itself that challenged
his skill and knowledge. He labored
over it for days. The days became
weeks and the weeks months. At
last, worn and haggard, the little
man was ready to admit defeat.
Time. after time he returned:
to it, only to find himself defeated. He visited every library
within miles, read every book
by Davillier and Indan, as well
as other great scientists that
was available, but without finding the answer.
In the end Profesor Cheswick
had an idea. It was summer. He
needed a vacation. Why not take
a month off, visit Europe and perhaps call on Davillier and Indan
and ask thern personally to clear up
the matter that so burdened his
mind?
A week later Professor Cheswick
sailed for France. The little school
teacher was a lonely figure. He
struck up a few acquaintances. He
wasn’t the type to attract people.
But he enjoyed the trip. This was
something he had never done before.
He was glad when the boat
docked. Eagerly he looked ahead to
his meeting with Mons. Davillier.
But alas! The next day Professor
Cheswick learned that Mons. Davillier had gone to America. for his
summer holiday and was not. expected to return for another month.
The little scientist was depressed
and disappointed. His time was
short. Madrid, whete lived Senor
Indan was a long way off. Yet it
could be reached, he thought suddenly and excitedly, by plane in a
very short while.
E WAS DELIGHTED to learn
that Senor Indan was in Madrid.
Yes, it was difficult to obtain an
the man he respected more than
interview with the great man. He
was constantly being pressed for interviews. What was it the American
wanted to see him about? A problem? Ah, yes, Senor Indan was requested to solve so many problems,
It was very, very doubtful if he
would grant an interview for such
a slight matter. However, if the
American would care to take his
chances, Senor Indan was to appear
at a reception on Tuesday night.
Possibly there would: be an opportunity to ask his question’. .
Professor Cheswick attended the
reception. He stood in line for
hours, a quiet, unassuming, unimportant looking little man, waiting
for his chance to speak to the
great Senor Indan. It came at last.
At last the Mapleridge school
teacher and scientist stood before
He was so overcome by awe
that for a moment he just
stared. Senor Indan ' frowned
impatiently and Professor Cheswick found his voice. He stated
his question. The Senor’s brows
arched in surprise.
“An unusual question, Senor,”
he said. ‘‘Frankly, I cannot answer
it. There is only one man in the
world with enough knowledge and
learning to find the answer. He is
one of your own countrymen. My
good friend Mons. Davillier is at
this moment in America seeking an
interview with this wizard whom
the whole scientific world respects
and admires, yet who is so absorbed in his work that. it is difficult to persuade him to appear in
public. I refer to Professor Aaron
anyone else in the world. Cheswick of Mapleridge college.’
