OLDSMOBILE HAS
SEASON DISPLAY

Oldsmobile today launches its 1871
season with a display of six new
series-three skies and three eights-
that present the widest variety ever
offered in the 43-year history of the
company. There is now both a six
and an eight-cylinder Oldsmobile in
each of the three price fields which
the company covered in recent sea-
sons.
Oldsmobile's exclusive Hydra-Matic
Drive, that eliminates clutch, clutch
pedal and shifts gears automatically,
is again optional, at extra cost, on
all models, and, due to enlarged pro-
duction facilities, promises to be a
decisively greater sales factor in 1941.
Increased room and comfort, greater
engine power, striking new body de-
signs, and scores of detailed improve
ments all bear witness to the genius
for progress that carried Oldsmobile
in 1910 to the highest sales marks
the company ever reached.

WILD MAN TERRORIZES
BALTIMORE COUNTY FOLK

A man that crawls through the
underbrush with almost the speed of
a running dog, living on fruits and
vegetables pilfered from the gardens
of various farmers, has stirred the
residents of the neighborhood of Rem
mel avenue, Raspeburg, Baltimore
County, to a nervous pitch of excite
ment.
Lights in many homes are kept
burning throughout the night and
doors are barred with extra locks.
Police are searching lonesome wood
land stretches in the community in
the hope of capturing the strange in
dividual who was last seen Wednesday
night on the farm of Mr.. and Mrs.
Theodore Lloyd, Remmel avenue.
The man is described as wearing a
skirt reaching to his knees like a
Scottish kilt. His hair is sandy col
ored and his complexion florid, &C.
cording to several residents. He is
short, of medium built and about 45
years of age. Apparently he has been
sleeping in the woods near the farms
over which he prowls at night in
search of tomatoes, corn and other
vegetables.
George Christhoff, IL years old, re-
ported he was walking through q
woods near East Hamilton avenue
when a man, who was reclining before

Airport. Miss Seney is on the nurs-

Nashville, Tenn, and last February
started a course in aeronautics at that
University. In a class composed of
Sc men and a women, she came out

weeds and grass.
Two weeks ago, about 10 o'clock in
the evening, a pedestrian going west
on frankfort avenue near Belair road
was accosted by an unkempt, grizzled
fellow who suddenly emerged from a
thicket near the roadway. In flash,
however, the queer looking person re-
turned to his hiding place.
Police are checking asylums in the
belief that the man may have escaped
from one of the institutions and, with
out home or friends, is now roaming
through the countryside.

tie or no expense just by spending
q few hours at the sewing center
in your community. You'll md all
the smart decorator finishes are
child's play, even for beginners, II
you use the modern sewing machine
attachments that are practically
fool proof. And you will find that
sewing Is q profitable summertime
hobby that is really fun.
Decorators Trick.
If your bed has square top head
board, measure across the top Of
the headboard for width and from
top to bottom for depth. Lay your
material lengthwise across the front
Of the headboard to avoid seams
down the center front. Join the
narrow pieces that run down the
sides and across the top with heavy
corded edges, decorators trick
that you may achieve in a jiffy with
the cording foot attachment on your
machine. The headboard cover is
slipped over the top and fastened
snugly at the back with a long zip
per closing, which you can stitch
up In no time with the cording foot.
A slip cover for a curved leadboard
has to be shaped, or, If you prefer,
you can make the headboard
straight by building it out with
compo board.
Whether you use an old bolster
or buy a new mold, you will esti-
mate the amount of material YOU
need for its slip cover by measuring
the length and the width around
the circular part. To this fiat piece
of material 12-inch Upper is at
tached to the edge of the two long
sides for the concealed back closing.
Here again the cording foot in the
modern sewing machine kit does q
professional looking job in double
quick time. And the end pieces are
also Joined to the cover with the
cording foot.
Quilted Gingham Used.
Quilted gingham is smart deco
rator finish for your headboards
that Is easy on the budget and easy
TO do II you have quilter attach
ment IN your sewing machine kit.
Satin finish woven cotton is sug-
gested in the second sketch. The
front OF the headboard has a tufted
effect which decorators are using
this summer. It is done In jig time
with the little quilter attachment.

you learn to sew with modern equip
ment. You can give q whole room

the success Of your project is in
knowing how to use your tools, and
modern sewing machines have a

The quilted stitching forms . big

chintz contrasting with blue chintz

transfer pattern.

New Push-button
Garage Invention
Opens Your Doors
Coil Arrangement
Operated From Car
Does the Trick
BY LAWRENCE CROLIUs.


1t won't be long now before we
are buried head and shoulders in a
push-button age, and our forefingers
will have become stiff and calloused
from the constant pushing of ac-
tuating buttons.
Not SO long ago, an able bodied
man or woman was able tC step up
to a radio and by simple twist of
the wrist station could be tuned
In. The effort was not extraordinar-
lily firing, but in a matter of Only
few years this great strain had to
be eliminated and push buttons were
installed. Now everything is run
with buttons. Elevators are auto
matically called to floors, toasters
and percolators, movie cameras and
countless other things answer the
call OF the all-powerful button.
Opens Garage Doors.
Push buttons have invaded an
other field now, but this is one that
we feel is we'll justified in capitulat-
Ing to automatic operation. The
garage door is the latest victim, and
1t Is now possible for you to sit
quietly in your car outside the door,
push button on the dash, and up
goes the door without your having
to step out in driving rain or
freezing blizzard. 1t is all very Won
derful, because it is done by means
OF system of small radio coils and
you don't even have to reach out
side OF the car to press the button.
Here's the way it works. When
you come up the driveway you push
button on your dashboard and a
transmitting coil is activated. The
signal from this coil is picked UP
by another coil in the driveway
pavement, which in turn puts a relay
into operation.
This relay turns on the electric
garage door operator and holds the
door open until you can drive your
car safely into its home. We are
advised that only cars that have a
little transmiIter tuned to the drive
way receiver can open the door, and,
OF course, these little radios have
nothing at all to do with your regu-
lar car radio. Thus you are at last
able to drive your car into the ga
rage without stopping-or tearing
the door down.
Floor Dye Available.
IT you have an unpleasant looking
concrete floor in your basement
gameroom or sun parlor you have
probably wished for some way to
color it and make it look a bit more
attractive. Ordinary paints seem
to be woefully inadequate for this
specialized service since they refuse
to penetrate the surface and get
into the pores of the concrete.
Hence, they wear out in a very
spotty fashion and after few vain
attempts at patching them up more
than likely you give up in disgust.
A floor dye now is available, how
ever, which eliminates these diff
culties and enables you to color your
concrete floors, inside or outside, in
any one of half dozen colors and
make them dustproof as we'll. This
new floor dye is put on with lambs
wool applicator or a large brush.
and 1t will dry to a fiat finish in
from 6 to II hours. All the open
pores are filled by this material and
you will find it makes the areas
much easier to keep clean.

New Cos Equipment

One of the newest developments
in gas equipment for central heating
Is the condensing system, produced
at present by just two manufac-
turers. In this type water in the
f1ue gases is discharged into the
sewer instead Of up the chimney,
as in the conventional manner, and
thus saves up to 10 per cent of the
total heat. This system is applicable
to homes, apartments, churches,
theaters, commercial and industrial
buildings.
