ULAX! PIMP!! UF lT is The year nineTeen hundred and TiTTy-Tive. SeaTed aT a desk in The head oTTice OT The UniTed STaTes PaTenT Bureau is Nancy Hammond, who is saTisTying her desire To be an arTisT by drawing conclusions. The problem on hand is wheTher To buy a copy oT The learned Marianna Moore's dicTionary in order To improve her sTilI TaulTy spelling or To purchase one oT Jean STrick- land's laTesT cookbooks, which are very rare because Gene STarcher has been busy selling Them To cannibals in The SouTh PaciTic as she pursues an elusive microbe. AT The nexT desk in The oTTice-Tor The paTenT bureau has Two Top execuTives-siTs BeTTy DuTy doing her duTy wiTh a realisTic and unpreiudiced mind. She has iusT asked Barbara Barnes, applying Tor a paTenT Tor Bigger and BeTTer Barnes, why such Barnes are necessaryi and Miss Barnes is replying ThaT she needs Them because she is raising so many Gibson Girls. Poor BeTTy lrby, ever popular wiTh The kiddies, is vainly Trying To keep Them in her kindergarTen. The door opens: and The chieT oTTice boy lraTher, girll, Jean RoberTs, brings in The morning mail. Miss RoberTs has risen Trom her honorable posiTion oT mes' senger and secreTary Tor The sTudenT represenT'aTives back aT Salem To The Tamous oTTice boy oT The paTenT execu- Tives and head oT The powerful O.B.U. -oTTice Boys' Union. The leTTers are in a wooden box reminiscenT oT Salem: and greaT is The surprise when The TirsT leTTer Turns ouT To be Trom an 'ole schoolmaTe, Skippy PTansTiehl, wanTing a paTenT on new cold resisTanT red wool under- wear To be worn by hosTelers in The Himalayas. Skippy says This applicaTion is urgenT because Mary Lynn Hogg wanTs This wool Tor her kniTTing and The kniTTing isn'T Tor The Red Cross. This is puT wiTh several oTher appli- caTions Tor wool, including one Trom Mary Lou Fields, who is designing Admirals' uniTorms. Finally The morning ends: and The weary execuTives, hoping Tor a minuTe oT resT, go To a neighboring caTe. Peering Through The dense crowd and The smoke screen lTooT-long cigareTTes are now The riagel, They see Jerry Worsham seaTed alone in one corner. There is, how- ever, no exTra space aT her Table because iT is liTerally covered wiTh all kinds oT Tood. Jerry, having become an experT connoisseur, is hard aT work doing whaT she always loved besT-eaTing. Having aT lengTh locaTed a Table, The Two siT down and open The morning paper. On The very TirsT page is a picTure oT Miss Pin-up oT l955, RuTh Adams, who is now posing Tor Jon WhiTcombe. ATTer ordering, DuTy picks up a copy oT LiTe. Under LeTTers To The EdiTor she discovers ThaT some LiTe readers are argu- ing abouT a new rule in bridge. The ediTor is appealing To Mary Louise Powe, bridge experT, To seTTle The ques- Tion please. ln The main secTion of The mazagine, There is a big picTure oT RuTh Womble, The social buTTerTly, TliTTing Trom one parTy To anoTher. She is accompanied by some man named Chalky. FurTher on, LiTe goes To Wake ForesT and whom does iT Tind There buT PaT Shull, The new house moTher oT The .X K IT, Suddenly, Trom a nearby booTh, comes The voice oT Jean Dunlap saying, My new device is wonderTul-a sTreTching machine To pull pounds Trom The horizonTal To The verTical. Well Tor my parT, replies The voice oT BeTTie Long, l'd raTher be NoTT Than Long. ReTurning Trom lunch, The paTenT heads are surprised To see a dim lighT showing under The door. SilenTly They Turn The knob, open The door, and see a shadowy Tigure crawling over The Tloor. IT is Helen Kahn, Trying To Tind ouT whaT kind of rugs The governmenl is using. UnexpecTedly There is a greaT uproar in The hall ouT- side: BuT caTs aren'T allowed in here, Miss. How silly, don'T make me dilly-dally. l have various and sundry Things To do. ln walks someone drooling in Turs-live caT Tur mosTly. Why, iT's The Miss ETTi- ciency oT The year-HarrieT ATwood-who wanTs To borrow a pair oT scissors To cuT governmenT red Tape. HarrieT says ThaT on a recenT Trip To New York she meT BeTsy SmiTh-Vaniz, now giving lessons on how To be a TascinaTing lady. BeTsy, HarrieT whispers conTi- denTly, has been barred Trom The local nighT clubs because aT sighT oT her all The men swoon To The Tloor, blocking The doors and creaTing a Tire hazard. The Telephone rings and Nancy reaches Tor iT. ls This The paTenT bureau? demands a Tamiliar voice. lT's Nona McClure, wanTing a paTenT on some improved baThTubs made To order. lT seems ThaT There are a Tew mice aT The house where Lindsay TaTe, Tamous diplomaT, is living: and Lindsay has commissioned Nona, well ac- guainTed wiTh The requiremenTs Tor comTorT in baThTubs, To design her some, so ThaT she may have one in every room. SaTeTy TirsT is Lindsay's moTTo. AT lasT Tive o'clock rolls around again and business is over. To home Tor The Tired execuTives. BuT iusT a minuTe! ln bursT Alice BogarT, who wanTs a paTenT in a hurry. She has invenTed a pair oT wings, so she can Tly home since The ChaTTanooga Choo-Choo has ceased To operaTe. RequesT granTed! WiTh no more inTerrupTions The Two reach The side- walk and sTarT Tor home. As They pass The bus sTaTion whom should They see alighTing Trom The Third Tloor oT a mosT modern bus buT Rose Anne Jordan. Heavens! a man has rushed up To her crying, Helen, Helen darling! BeTore our sTarTled eyes Rosie is puT inTo a green car wiTh The boy's moTher and carried away. Puzzling over This occurrence, DuTy and Nancy walk on. Soon They approach a large group oT sTrong, healThy men. ln The cenTer oT This group is none oTher Than Sybil Cameron, baTTing Those big brown eyes-. Can she be capTivaTing a sTar TooTball Team Tor Duke? JusT as The TraTTic lighT Turns red and The execuTives sTarT To cross The sTreeT, a Tamiliar green car drives up. The window is open and The conversaTion can be heard plainly. Why you aren'T Helen, The man is saying. He has pulled ouT a gun. GeT ouT! Rosie is Too TrighTened To move. BuT whaT's This? Brave liTTle RuTh Harrison, vice-presidenT in charge of preserving The guieT, rushes up and whispers, STopl Loud noises are noT permiTTed. Rosie is saved! Now The day is almosT over. BuT noT guiTe, Tor up The sTreeT They see M, C, Bracken coming ouT oT a movie. She looks Thin and Tired and explains ThaT she has been in The TheaTre Tor The lasT Three days waTching Lon Mc- AllisTer. Nancy and DuTy say They have noT seen The movie, and M, C. gives Them a reproving glance beTore going away. All oT a sudden The air is shaTTered by The screaming oT sirens. Nancy and DuTy Tear ThaT M. C. has passed ouT and an ambulance has come Tor her: buT no! The sirens belong To a Tire engine. However, as The Tire engine is noT going Their way, The girls conTinue homes ward and arrive wiThouT TurTher exciTemenT. BuT as They prepare a snack before going To bed, They happen To Turn on The radio and hear an announcer saying, We are inTerrupTing This program To bring you news oT The laTe accidenT. Miss MargareT Mcllwaine by chance sTruck her head inTo an oven Tilled wiTh gas Tumes, and her hair caused an explosion. Miss Mcllwaine was blown inTo The air alThough uniniured. She has noT come down yeT: buT never Tear, ladies and genTlemen, The Tiremen have The neT ready. So ends a busy dayl NANCY HAMMOND BETTY DUTY
