real ones of a mule. They're

Among them are a violin which

net which can be wrapped around
someone's neck. A tuba with a
beer spigot that pours beer. A
bass fiddle with swinging doors
that can house a midget.

Bratman says.
Not long ago he got an urgent
long distance call from a wealthy

measures having failed, the fell
low thought he'd try keeping
trespassers off his premises with
lion roars.
Bratman speedily made
him q lion rOarer out of a keg

taut over one end. A rOsined
rope drawn slowly through
the center did the trick.
The man phoned a few days

''Tf1e American Red Cross is
symbolic of the deep concern Of
our Nation for human welfare
Of the fact that the American
way of life places human values
above materialSm.
"The Red Cross has been asked
to enlarge its activities In the
coming year in two important
areas: First, to provide additional
recreation facilities for our
troops overseas and, second, to
expand greatly the national blood
program to obtain plasma for
making a serum to protect chill
dren against the paralyzing
effects of polio. The result is an
inevitable enlargement of the
