Every time I see an ad for gas grills I think of Hank Hill
Now you’re cooking out with gas.
It’s simple with a gas grill. You get real outdoor flavor. With no lighter fluids, no ashes, no mess. No waiting, either. Gas reaches cooking temperature fast, then keeps the exact heat you want. So go ahead. Broil steaks. Grill hamburgers. Barbecue a nice big turkey. And eat by soft gas light. For grills and gas lights see your gas company or your local dealer.
Gas gives you a better deal

Well, the headline certainly does grab your attention. This is a gimmick MI has used before.
We Shoot Newborn Babies
by Robert Clark
WHEN I wound up my war service in the Navy five years ago, I thought all my “shooting” days were over. But now Bob Danielson and I are scrambling about like second louies on a recruiting tour rounding up a corps of expert marksmen to patrol hospitals all across America— and shoot newborn babies!
Who’s this talking—Public Enemy No. 1? No—not even No. 101. Strangely enough everyone likes having us around—doctors, nurses, parents by the thousands—even the cute little tykes themselves. And our shooting is done not with a bang-bang but with the click-click of cameras formerly installed in the wings of Navy Hellcat fighters to record split-second combat maneuvers.

When the cats takeover, remember, this is where it started.
I, for one, welcome our new feline overlords.
Fighting Rats With Special Cats
AT a cat farm in Le Havre, France, scientists are attempting to breed new kinds of cats which will pursue and eat rats so eagerly that they can be used to help rid ships and cities of the hordes of rats which now infest them.
The modern cat has been ruined by centuries of ease and dependence on mankind. Thus the natural instinct of rat catching has been so weakened that the average cat now is not worth, as a rat fighter, cost of keeping the cat alive.
It is believed that this weakened instinct is still dormant in the cat race and that by breeding cats for this special purpose and by keeping alive out of each generation of kittens only those that show good rat-catching powers, a race of rat-catchers can be produced which will surpass anything now known.
I don’t really get the taxes on the bottom. The Gold one is “plus tax” but the Rhodium one is “no fed tax”. What fed tax would that be? Was there a federal gold tax?

High-speed photography has come a long way. Check out this explanation and videos of a trillion fps camera.
Movies of Combustion Process
WITH a view to improving automobile engines, two German scientists have invented a camera which records on a film the procedure of combustion in auto and other motors under varying conditions.
The fuel at various pressures is injected into a steel chamber provided with glass walls by means of a valve which distributes the finely reduced fuel particles. The light of a 30,000 volt electric spark, formed between two electrodes, is then projected into the injection chamber for the photograph; The time of each exposure is one-millionth of a second.
