Swimming Coi I-xk is 1"se 



device to keep the hair dry and at the same time buoy up the 

 head and assist the timid bather. The swimming collar is shaped 

 like a round box. with side part of celluloid and the top and bot- 

 tom of rubberized fabric and elastic. The top has half a dozen 

 small openings to admit air but does not easily admit water. The 

 opening in the bottom just fits the neck and makes it watertight at 

 that point. The entire weight is seven ounces, but the buoyancy 

 power is ten pounds. A case of navy-blue fabric is provided for 

 carrying the sw^imming collar to the beach, and the collar may 

 also contain the bathing suit.— Swimming Collar Co., Inc., 2036

A DOLL THAT WEEPS 



.■\ doll so human that it weeps at the whim of its owner will 

 lie sure to attract juvenile attention wherever this patented toy 

 is displayed. Some moving-picture producer should also see the 

 possibilities of this 

 toy .when used in 

 juvenile films. If, 

 for any reason, the 

 weeping device no 

 longer weeps, the 

 outward appear- 

 ance of the doll is 

 not damaged in 

 the least, contrary 

 to the usual ef- 

 fect of tears. 



The toy consists 

 of a doll's head of 

 celluloid, attach- 

 able to any body. 

 The water reser- 

 voir within the 

 head is fitted at 

 the neck with a 

 rubber stopper 

 pierced by a rub- 

 ber tube, as il- 

 lustrated. The in- 

 ner end extends slightly within the water reservoir. The 

 end hangs down the doll's back and is closed with a stopper, 

 eyes have small holes at the inner corners, connecting with tiny 

 water passages ending near the nose. Light pressure on the tube 

 sends water up these passages and out of the eyes in tear-like 

 drops. — George J. Hoefler, inventor ; assigned to Mrs. K. Hoefler, 

 649 Van Duzer street. Stapleton, Staten Island. New York.
