Description:
- Floriculture - Rose Breeding. Two healthy parents of definite character are selected - one the staminate or male parent, the other the pistillate or female parent. An unopened bud is selected for the pistil. The petals and stamens are removed to prevent self polination.
- New Inventions - New Motor. This new engine is so constructed that the propellers perform the double function of drving the aeroplane ahead at top speed and at the same time keep the motor cool. A hot motor means a stalled and balky machine.
- Screw Oddities - Bear Mascot. These ungainly and sometimes ferocious bruins often make fine pets. They exhibit many human traits and failings.
- Preparedness - "Going to Sea" in an Armory. Sailors are now taught the art of up-to-the minute seamanship on land. In the completely equipped armory of the second battalion naval militia at Brooklyn, New York, young men are developped into efficient sailors long before they board a battleship.
- Physical Culture - Uncle Sam Dependent Upon Feminine Vigor. With men at the front women should make themselves physically fit to take their places and learn the art of self-protection. The exercises should not be indulged in immediately after eating.
- Art - Miracles in Mud. Produced by Willie Hopkins, noted sculptor.
