This Week’s Cover
- American know-how does beat all. Hardly has somebody invented picture-window raincoats than a budding little genius dreams up how to walk in the rain while remaining indoors. Probably Buddy Genius is now musing that the raincoat needs a windshield wiper; (b) mother could leave her umbrella home by wearing his plastic space helmet. Maybe when he grows up, he’ll perfect a transparent umbrella so people in crowds can see whose faces they nearly jab. If he ever invents some way to keep rain off the lower legs, he will rank with Thomas Edison. Somehow Amos Sewell’s theme suggests evolving a mother hen with plastic feathers, so that the chicks under her wings can look outdoors. With that thought, let us close this scientific tract.
