Millions in Gold FREE for the TAKING!

The author of this article tells you exactly where you can find $125,000,000 in gold—and it’s all yours the moment you lay hands on it. The difficulty is that the gold is buried in the hulks of wrecked ships several hundred feet beneath the sea. Inventors of diving contrivances are staging a frantic race to see who will be first to retrieve the golden fortunes.

by DONALD GRAY

STORIES of buried treasure, hidden by Lafitte or Kidd or concealed somewhere about the old homestead by the wealthy farmer who was afraid of banks, usually have this one feature in common: although the existence of the treasure is well-authenticated and widely credited, nobody knows exactly where the hidden doubloons have been laid to rest.

WHERE WILL YOUR CHILDREN LIVE IN 1973?

What kind of homes will your children have twenty years from now? The nation’s electric light and power companies are thinking about them — and getting ready for them.

Part of the answer can be found in the new electric appliances still in the early stages of development.

There will be new ways of heating and cooling homes with the help of electricity. Glareless lighting will come on automatically as darkness falls. There will be electric equipment to kill germs in the air. Read the rest of this entry »

THE MOON AND THE SEX DRIVE

by Albert Abarbanel, Ph.D.

A discussion of theories about how the moon’s cycle affects the rise and fall of sex desire.

The moon has always played a prominent part in people’s beliefs about sex. Primitive tribes conduct elaborate fertility rites when the moon is full.

The Season’s Newest Toys

TOY manufacturers in this country have been extraordinarily inventive of late, and have produced a set of new and unusual items differing greatly from the ordinary run. Many of these are illustrated in these three pages; but lack of space permits only a very general description of construction, operation or equipment of some of them. Others are described in the captions beneath the photos. However, if any of the readers are interested in the names of the manufacturers, such information will be furnished free of charge: merely specify the numbers of the items, and the data will be forwarded.

This is another one of those things that gets much better and cheaper with a digital camera. This poor guy only got one shot per launch and had to carefully time it so the kite would be at the right hight for the camera to be focused.

Even Google Earth is getting in on the act now.

KITE TAKES AERIAL PHOTOS

You don’t have to hire a plane and pilot to get good air shots of ground objects.

By E. J. Roy

FOR many years, the idea of making photographs from a kite has been in my mind. This year, I decided to do something about it. First was the kite design, and having had considerable experience with various types of kites, I finally selected a design for a triangular box kite with wings. Read the rest of this entry »

“Candid Camera” Gets Surprise Photographs in New Hobby

A NEW hobby, one that also offers opportunities for money making, has arrived from England. It’s the “candid camera,” a concealed camera that gets intimate pictures without the subject knowing he is being photographed. The results are so surprising, and often so amusing, that the hobby has taken England by storm. Hardly any social function is complete without several guests carrying the concealed cameras.

GOOD EVENING, I AM VAMPIRA

A scary femme fatale peddles old horror films on TV At an hour before midnight each Saturday on many Los Angeles TV screens, a gaunt, black-wigged mistress of ceremonies steps out of ominous, drifting mists, screams hysterically into a shuddering camera, intones the greeting in the headline above and then sighs morbidly, “I hope you have been lucky enough to have had a horrible week.” Read the rest of this entry »

These kids look pretty bad-ass. And kudos to the father for making his daughter a model car instead of a model kitchen.

These Two Youngsters Are Out to Steal Their Dad’s Racing Laurels

Following in their dad’s footsteps seems to be the thing these two youngsters, shown below, enjoy most. They are the children of Captain Campbell, English auto racer. The photo was taken at their home in Horely, England, while they were driving about in their yard.

Donald’s car is an exact model of a Buggatti. It will travel at a speed of 18 m.p.h.

Jean’s car is a model of a Bluebird.

So apparently the heads-up-display was invented by a wrestler and financed by all his wrestler buddies. If this story doesn’t have the makings of a feel-good Disney movie I don’t know what does.

Who should play the Mad Greek? What role will Brendan Fraser and Cuba Gooding Jr play? Will there be talking animals?
