1 A SAFE SMOKE IN BED
| COSTA MESA, Calif.—(AP)—
Walter Mullins has invented a gad
get that he thinks will delight
! smokers. He says it permits them
' to puff cigarettes safely in bed.
! His “Safety Smoker” consists of
ia Tl%-inch high ceramic pelican
{and a long rubber tube with a
| mouthpiece. The cigarette is in
i serted into an aluminum holder
| which connects with the tube at
the base of the bird’s jaws.
; It burns in a horizontal position
suspended over the bird’s yawn
ling lower bill, which acts as an
lash tray. Mullins says he got the
+idea from an Oriental water pipe.

Pilot Club Members
Hear Reports On
District Convention
Declaring that “the widespread
bewilderment in the minds of
many people may well short-cir
cuit the incentive to build for a
better world,” Mrs. Henry H.
Cobb, jr., reported to the Pilot
Club at its recent meeting on the
discussions at the District Conven
tion of Pilot International held in
Atlanta April 15-16. In talking on
the adopted International theme,
“Building Against Bewilderment,”
Mrs. Cobb predicted, “It is this
bewilderment we must erase
through adequate instruection,
training and study for our chil
dren — with the acquisition of
knowledge for ourselves which in
turn brings understanding.”
As a means of accomplishing
this, the speaker suggested
spreading good will at home and
abroad, fostering an awakened
interest in legislative procedures
and that we actually concern our
selves with the social, economic
and political problems of our en
tire state and nation. Specifically,
she asked that Pilots help (1) to
improve educational facilities, (2)
to study the Federal Aid Bill,
and (3) to develop effective
means of participating in local
and civie affairs.
The local club was proud of the
announcement by another dele
gate, Mrs. Mary Horton, to the
effect that Mrs. Louree Deadwy
ler of Elberton, Ga., was elected
District Governor of Pilot Inter
national at the Atlanta conven
tion. Mrs. Horton reported on the
business session and the legisla
tion to be reviewed at the forth
coming International convention
to be held in Washington, D, C,,
July 26-30.

Parker, newly-elected president,

g womse A diamond is literally a trap for light. It has
‘* e @ a greater power to bend rays of light than
.AR any other gem. Because of this characteris
‘s:‘ ,:;__ - tic, light rays reaching the from all direc

. &% S = Many people have ask me, “Why do you see
W@ so many colors in a diamond?” The answer
f. 8. Ml lies in another characteristic of the diamond
patl NESF SEMR —what the scientists call the power of dis
; % 4 persion. Ordinary white light is a mixture
. of all colors of the rainbow. When this light
R -enters the diamond, it is broken up because
the diamond bends each different color ray
M. F. Seagraves at a slightly different angle. So the light the
diamond gathers is sent back to you with a
dazzling rainbow fire.
The consumer still does not understand color of a diamond
because his untrained eye cannot detect fine gradations. Color
_ is very important in valuing a diamond. That is why you
should “know your diamond merchant?’.
The fire of the diamond seems to have been a factor that, over
the centuries, established this gem as the emblem of betrothal.
As the hardness of the diamond was seen as the symbol of
enduring love, so its brilliance became the symbol of the fire
of love—the flame that burns without consuming.
