Dexter Fellows who always prided
himself as an animal expert, gave up

FIRE COMMISSIONER SUFFERS BURNS ON FACE WHEN

LONG BEACH, L. 1., July 6 (TP)
Fire Commissioner John J. McCelllgott
is feeling better today, but he isn’t
saying much about the fireworks ac

face.
Fireworks were banned in New York
city this year, but were legal outside
the city limits. Hence, Commissioner

ZEPPELIN BREAKS RECORD
ON OCEANIC CROSSING
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany
July 6 (TP). —New transatlantic rec
ords are getting to be an old story
with the Zeppelin "Hindenburg.”
The big dirigible established a new
mark for the eastern crossing early
today when it floated in to Fried
richshafen after a 46-hour and 36-
minute voyage from Lakehurst, New
Jersey.
Captain Ernst Lehmann, master of
the "Hindenburg” was'given an ova
tion when he piloted his huge craft
into e its home port. By streaking
across the Atlantic in 46 1-2 hours,
the Zeppelin cut about two hours
from Its previous eastward crossing
record.
LISTEN, FOLKS!
The micro-wave transmitter, on
which NBC engineers have been at
work for the last two years, now in
vades two widely diversified fields—
politics and auto racing.
The micro-wave, perhaps you do
nob remember, is actually a tiny
broadcasting station, less than the
size of a small cigar box. and can be
carried freely about in crowds because
there are no trailing wires, eliminat
ing accident hazard and loss of pow
er-
On Easter Sunday the micro-wave
transmitter was the hero of the New
York fashion parade when George
Hicks, JJBC announcer, carried one
in his silk hat as he strolled Fifth
and Park avenues, discussing the new
toggery of Manhattan's elite.
The micro-w'.ve’s invasion of the
political occurred when it was used
for on-the-spot reports of the national
Sociall't convention, held in Cleve
land, O. An air interview with Nor
man Thomas of the Socialist party
in his hotel room was one of the fea
tured stuats made possible by the
micro-wave set.
Sports saw the micro-wave for the
first time when George Hlc'ts and
Bill Shnldler, veteran race pilot, ar
ranged to broadcast their sensations
while speeding around the new brack
in Madison Square Garden s Long Is
land City bowl.
Instead of being installed in a silk
hat, the tiny transmitter, this time,
was fitted into the ejrg-shaped crash
helmet worn by Shindler.
The on-the-spot broadcasts of the
micro-wave transmitter are plck’ed up
by the nearest NBC station which
amplifies them and rebroadcasts over
a national network.
The micro wave is really a miracle
worker in that through it an auto
race fan on the Pacific coasb may
eavesdrop on a conversation of a race
driver and his mechrnic traveling a
mile a minute on a track ’’.ooo miles
away!

HEAT WAVE FORCES
DOCTOR TO SHAVE HIS
52-YEAR OLD BEARD
HUME Mo., July 6 (TP) —Strange
things may happen when a heat wave
lets down on the people. About the
strangest of all the things that hap
pened in Hume during recent hot
weather, was that Dr. W. D. Vint
shaved his beard.
Dr. Vint hadn’t touched the beard
with razor or scissors in exactly 52
years.
“I shaved the beard off in 1884,”
said the doctor, "when I visited Chi
cago. Since then I have been letting
it grow.”
Dr. Vint is a leading citizen of the
village. He is 82 years old. But many
of his friends didn’t know him when
he walked down the street with a
smooth chin.
“There’s one advantage in not
shaving,” he told them, “I saved SBOO
in barber fees during the last fifty
years.”

CHICAGO, July 6 (TP). —Nearly

effective July 1 declaring that no
more state funds would be available
until the levy is passed.
I Relief clients, caught in the mid

tax law. The governor answered to
day.
"Illinois has done its share,” he
told the council. "Now it's up to Chi

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6 (TP)—
Police untangled a group of men who
were fighting like troopers in the
street and found that a sailor, Wil
liam Cogswell, was the center of the
storm—if ni-t the whole storm roller
into one man.
Cogswell started the trouble when
he threw a cantaloupe at a second
man. Soon he was the nucleus of a
first class brawl. Cogswell didn’t quiet
down when he fell into the hands of
the cops, he hit one officer on the
head with a milk bottle before he
was subdued.
The wild sailor was the only man
placed under arrest. When police
got him quieted down they found that
the others had fled.
