where you will be swimming, but where

will want one of the rubber bags.' They

rubber, and especially designed for car
rylng wet bathing suits. Just a few
wcekrt ago I tried to get one nt a shop,
nnd was told that it was impossible to
get them, and that the shop had no
expectations of having any this year.
So I nin tcjllng you about tbo shop

Making More Money
Ju.t Air
Possibly It's because he lives At As
bury Park. N. J., or possibly It's on .ac
count of the fact that he has always
been of a mechanical turn of mind, but
the fact remains that Frank R. Chester
has long had a leaning toward tne in
vention of a device which would add a
new thrill to the strolls along the board
walks at various seaside amusement
fiarks, where people aro perfectly wili
ng to spend ten or fifteen cents to try
out something novel, particularly when
the competitive element enters Into It
"The toy balloon Idea," Cheater fig
ured, "appeals to the grown-ups as well
as to the kiddles, though th former
5robably wouldn't care to admit It.
'here ought to be some way to Inflate
balloons of this kind mechanically and.
at the same time, to make It sufficiently
difficult to be Interesting from the
standpoint' of the person who Is trying
to complete the operation. Now If there
were only some way of controlling tho
Inflation, of letting the air out If
the proooss were undertaken too
rapidly "
Night otter night Cheater worked on
the Idea nnd finally he devised an ap
paratus upon which he not only secured
patent lights but has obtained options
on some very prosperous seaside loca
tions. As a background he selected a
painted drop showing an aviation field,
with observation balloons and airplanes
In full flight Then. In front of this he
placed soveral miniature hangars, before
eaoh of these being a toy balloon, at
tached to the mouthpiece of a pipe. The
other end at the pipe leads to a, handle,
operated by the person who wants to try
his skill. If he turns the handle a few
times the balloon commences to expand,
but If he turns It too rapidly, the air Is
released and the balloon deflated. The
object of course, Is to see who can burst
his balloon the quickest, and Chester
figures that the popping of the red and
green toys will attract Almost aa much
attention as the novel device Itself,
