The eyes are protected from the glare 

 without sacrificing the full illumination 



An Electric Light Attachment For 

 Eye- Shades 



IN order to bring maximum light upon 

 a piece of work without causing the eyes 

 to suffer from the glare, an electric lamp 

 bulb may be worn attached to an eye- 

 shield, as shown in the accompanying illus- 

 tration. 



Thomas C. Arnold, of Fernandina, Fla., 

 has invented a bracket attachment for 

 the purpose. The bracket is mounted upon 

 a shade or shield of ordinary construction, 

 except that at one end there is a tab carry- 

 ing a buckle, while at the other end is a 

 strap which buckles snugly around the 

 wearer's head. 



The bracket is made from one length of 

 relatively stiff wire, bent in double 

 U-shape for encircling the body 

 of the shade. A clamping yoke 

 is provided to receive the elec- 

 tric lamp bulb, and a guide ex- 

 tension is formed at one end 

 of the wire protruding from 

 the yoke, to receive an elec 

 trie conductor on the bulb 

 socket. The bracket is de- 

 tachable and the bulb 

 may be taken out 

 clamped on easily. 



With the bulb ar- 

 ranged in this way 

 the eyes are pro- 

 tected and the light 

 is brought close to 

 the work. 



Man Becomes a Beast in Hand-to- 

 Hand Conflict 



SOLDIERS say that they find relief in any 

 muscular action," writes Dr. George W. 

 Crile ("A Mechanistic View of War and 

 Peace," The Macmillan Company), "but the 

 supreme bliss of forgetfulness is in an orgy of 

 lustful, satisfying killing in a hand-to-hand 

 bayonet action, when the grunted breath of 

 the enemy is heard, and his heart's blood flows 

 warm on the hand. This is a fling back 

 into the remote period when man had not 

 controlled fire, had not fashioned wea- 

 pons; when in mad embrace he tore 

 the flesh with his angry teeth and felt 

 the warm blood flow over his thirsty 

 face. In the hand-to-hand fight the 

 soldier sees neither to the right nor to the 

 left. His eyes are fastened on one man 

 — his man. In this lust-satisfying en- 

 counter injuries are not felt, all is ex- 

 hilaration; injury and death are alike 

 painless. A life-sized photograph giv- 

 ing each detail of the face of a soldier thus 

 transformed in the supreme moment of 

 hand-to-hand combat would give the key 

 to the origin of war."

Tempering the Wind to the Farm by 

 Means of Trees 



IF the farmer of today and of the future 

 is not able to squeeze the last penny- 

 worth of value from his land it is not the 

 fault of the Federal Government, for the 

 efforts which are being expended in educat- 

 ing him as to how to do it are never relaxed. 

 Thus, the Bureau of Forestry is conducting 

 a campaign to demonstrate the value of 

 growing trees as windbreaks on the farm, 

 to protect the crops and livestock. 



The model 

 shown in the il- 

 lustration is ex- 

 hibited at fairs, 

 expositions and 

 farmer organiza- 

 tion conventions 

 all over the coun- 

 try. It represents 

 a one hundred and 

 sixty-acre farm and 

 shows the proper 

 location of the wind- 

 breaks and the kinds 

 of trees most suita- 

 ble for the different 

 localities. The trees 

 afford protection from 

 sun and storms.
