...paths. In June a Soviet plane will try that route. Grim, nevertheless Stalin is raising a hubbub among the international lawyers the world over; for what does the Soviet Government do but claim even the pack ice all the way to the North Pole! Ah, the bit in the teeth; the jump at the starting post in the race for the Arctic! For pack ice is good for radio stations and even landing fields. What a merry mess for the lawyers! If an iceberg with a radio station breaks away and drifts down to Alaska, will "the constitution follow...

...second seeing that you didn't have time to laugh about in the first. Funniest of all, perhaps, is a time-saving device that automatically feeds workers while they work. It is tried out on Charlie, and it runs amuck. It rasps an ear of corn against his teeth, it shoves bolts into his mouth, and it bashes in his face with its automatic wiper.
