WEBBED GLOVE MAKES
FAST SWIMMING EASY
How would you like to be
able' to swim as fast as a duck,
uni with as little effort, with
webbed hands and feet to push
your way thru water?
It is not at all impossible,
now tint Dr. A. Kandor Zawad-]
rki, of Honolulu, has invented !
his twimniing glove. The well-;
bed glove makes a veritable j
duck's foot nut of the human ,
hand When swimming, the
glove hand is spread out at each
backward stroke and closed
each time the hand is drawn
forward.

SCHOOL START
IS ‘SOME JOB’
A little boy ln a gray suit i ;
and cap stood at a counter over
which dangled a sign, ’’School
Supplies.”
Ho was looking intently at
tho rows of boxes of school
pencils.
”1 got most of my stuff al-
ready,” he said. ’’Geographies
and things. I’m getting the rest
today.
“You get those plain wood
pencils cheapest, but, Gee! The
lead is hard. 1 guess I’d rather
have a red and green one.
They’ve got erasers on the end
too, hut they cost a nickel.”
He fished a black coin purse
from his pocket and bought a
red and green pencil.
With this off his mind he had
more time for conversation.
"Look at all the stuff they’ve
got here,” ho said. "Sharpen-
ers (I got a good knife, so I
don’t want any), chalk n’ pen-
wipers, ’n compasses, ’n paint
brushes twho'd want a paint
brush?), ’n crayons, ’n pencil
boxes—I got to get a pencil box
for toy sitter.”
Many Sorts.
There were many sorts of
school pencil boxes on the coun-
ter.
"No flowers or birds painted
on the lid for mo!” he said.
“How about the little leather
pencil cases?” lie was asked.

New Y,rk. Sept. 13.—After
years of wealth and ease the
aged widow of Joseph It. Mar-
tindale. late president of the
Chemical National liankxrealized
today that she was penniless.
Shocked by the disclosures of
her husband's theft of $300,000
from his bank, the widow was
nearly prostrated today at word
of this new misfortune. She is
at a loss to understand what
lias become of her husband's
fortune. tils salary as hank j
president was $50,000 a year. ;
in addition to this ho embezzled
$300,000 and there is not a !
cent left.
Martindale’s property consists
of his mortgaged home on Long
Island and some mortgaged se- j

home last night to seize his
automobiles for debt. Mortgage
