...Another Slice of Pizza. In Hoboken, in a coldwater flat ("one can to four families"). Frank was born on Dec. 12, 1915. He weighed 13½ lbs. at birth, and in the delivery his head was badly ripped by the forceps, and one of his ear lobes was torn away; he carries the scars to this day. The doctor laid the unbreathing baby on the bed. thinking him stillborn, and turned to save the mother. Frank survived because his grandmother snatched him up and put him under the cold-water faucet...

Swathers & Wonsovers. Still other new machines are in the works. The Owatonna Tool Co. is building a self-propelled hay "swather" to take the place of the standard 7-ft. mower. Twelve feet across, it will slice through fields, cut and pile the hay in rows in a single operation, thus displacing (with a single operator) two men and three tractors, two mowers and a pair of hay rakes. Ford is working on a low-cost combine for medium-sized farms, a new corn picker that can be attached to the front of a standard four-wheeled tractor. Another...
