But as far as Larry's concerned. his best

there is at least one sailor on every British

him by Larry. The Hood took IL Of his
presents down with it.
HIS o1EAFEST professional problem these
days is a source of harmonica supply. The
U. S. has never made mouth organ to rival
those produced by European craftsmen.
Larry, who uses 400 year, sees no reason
why the U. S. shouldn't become the worlds
harmonica-manufacturing center. So he's de-
signed an instrument and turned it over to
the Massachusetts, Institute of Technology.
Special researchers at Nit. should soon
solve the technical problems which 50 far have
thwarted American manufacturers.
Larry. of course, has demonstrated that
his instrument is no toy. He also refuses to
call it mouth organ. Not 50 long ago. while
he and his wife were on an Australian tour,

call it mouth organ. What do you call it,"

FOR her child's welfare, every mother should

of our ople in all walks of life don't get enough
of them for normal health, according to Official

And most important, these deficiencies ofte

cause many heretofore battling health failures.
