What Office secretary at
one time or another hasn't
found herself in the typical
situation of having to type
over that letter the boss wants
right away because she's re-
versed the carbon.
And chances are, she's
proba bly, muttered: why
doesn't someone invent some
way to stop this fool thing
from happening again."
That happened to Miss
Beulah Louise Henry, one OF
the country's top woman in
ventors, and she did do some
thing about it. She invented a
carbon paper eliminator.
In town from New York
yesterday to demonstrate her
latest invention, Miss Henry
tipped five sheets Of paper
into a typewriter, threaded
their tops through a swing
ing-arm like gadget that
locked into place over the
carriage, and typed away. The
result - five original copies.
and no smudges.
It Came Suddenly
Did Miss Henry spend a
few sleepless nights figuring
out how to best this carbon
paper gremlin? Not at all. It
all happened as suddenly as all
her other inventive ideas.
81 was so angry" she said,
"I tore the paper out OF the
typewriter and it fell under
the desk. AS I reached for it,
a thought flashed through my
mind-I was never going to
Use another piece of carbon
paper again"
Miss Henry meant it. She
went home and with such
makeshift tools as hairpins,
spools and wires worked out
a. crude model that threaded
reels of ribbon through extra
paper sheets.
Miss Henry has the natural
ness of true genius. In f1ve
minutes time her quick and
versatile mind can traverse as
many subjects. If you ask her
to describe one of her inven-
tions, chances are she'll floor
you with a simple sentence and
then skip on to another sub
ject before you've quite re-
covered.
She has had no mechanical
training, yet friends say she

Many physicians take a dim
view Of the extremes in sun
bathing which appear with
each summer. While sunlight
is a fine source of vitamin D
it is not the only one by a
long shot. Today, you can get
your vitamin D in cod liver
oil, vitarnin tablets or milk.
This will be an awful blow to
those who broil and bake
themselves each summer but
you can get all.of the vitamin
D you need from reflected sun
light when sitting by an open
window or under an umbrella,
on a porch or by the beach.
Physicians know that over
summing can injure rather
than build health and actually
can be most dangerous If too
extreme. Skin specialists warn
that it is a fact that repeated
and extreme suntanning ages
the skin prematurely. This
is because it dries out the oils
in the epidermis and thus
speeds the aging process.
There also seems to be some
connection between overex-
posure to the sun and skin
cancer. Among sailors, fisher
men and farmers, there is a
much greater percentage of
skin cancer than in any other

She has had no scientific back
ground and yet has success

gineers and physicists told her
"defied the laws Of physics"
Finished Picture
She can find no explanation
for this amazing gift in which
she sees in an intuitive flash
the need for a new thing tele-
scoped into a picture Of the
finished product. "Some call it
clairvoyance," she says. Some
times : wake up at night and
see the picture as clearly as II
it we're drawn on the wall"
Friends have seen her get
an idea and grab the first thing
at hand - pipe cleaners, adj
hesiye tape. a cardboard box
and in a few hours come up
with a rough model that nine
times out of 10 duplicates the
real product after it has gone
through a professional drafts
man and mechanical engi-
neer's hands.
Usually, though when Miss
Henry gets an idea, she jots
it down Immediately in "a
rough sketch no one could read
but myself" and then quickly
writes out a brief working
plan.
"WOman Edison"
The Undetermined inven-
tor, who's been dubbed "the
woman Edison" revolutionized
the clothing industry with her
invention of a sewing machine
that eliminated the bobbin
and substituted the lock
stitch. She has also made
many contributions to the toy
industry.
Some of her other ideas that
have sold themselves into pro-
ducts which have amassed
thousands of dollars for their
manufacturers include a de-
tachable umbrella cover, a toy
milking cow, and ventriloquist
dummies with real-life mouth
and Jaw movements.
The list could go on and on.
Though her inventions have
made her a comfortable liv-

has just about broken even
