A new auger which will work in any position and around almost any obstruction. It can be 

 used in a comer, under a shelf, or even inside a box with equal facility 



An Auger that Works Anywhere 



ANEW auger that will work in any 

 position has been invented by Wm. 

 H. Stiner, of Kennett Square, Pa. The 

 chuck is made to take a tool of any size 

 up to 2-inch. The great value in the 

 device is that it will be of use in so many 

 difficult places, it can be placed between 

 two rafters and used to bore a hole, and 

 the handles can be taken out and placed 

 in other positions at will, thus enabling 

 the operator of the tool to do many 

 difficult jobs that could not possibly be 

 undertaken with the ordinary tool. 



Handy Instrument for Physicians 



AN instrument for making diagnoses 

 . in the case of injured eyes, ears, 

 noses or throats has been designed for 

 physicians and nurses, and it is so small 

 and compact that it can be easily slipped 

 into the vest pocket. A nickeled case con- 

 tains a cell or dry battery which lights 

 a miniature lamp. By the use of various 

 attachments, the ear and nose can be 

 examined, the diseased or injured por- 



tion being magnified by a small glass that 

 is attached. By means of a strap, the 

 instrument can be fastened to the front 

 of the head for use by the surgeon in 

 emergency operations. 



Ice Dynamited so Yale Crews 

 May Row 



THE Yale crews began practice early 

 in March on the Quinnipiac River, 

 but not until a path was cleared with 

 dynamite through the solid ice fields. 

 The condition of the frozen river 

 annoyed Coach Guy Nickalls. The 

 rowing instructor had to contend with 

 work in the g^^mnasium for the varsity 

 oarsmen until he ordered practice on the 

 water, which was then one immense 

 sheet of ice. For the first time in the 

 history of rowing in this country dyna- 

 mite was brought into play. Nickalls 

 organized a blasting squad consisting of 

 Mather Abbott and Charlie Wiman. 

 When the coach's dynamite crew finished 

 their work a long lane had been cleared 

 for the shells.

 illumines the parts and a magnifying glass aids in the examination
