Your Tax Money Helps U. S. Build Battleships
As Uncle Sam’s mammoth naval building program gets under way, Rear Admiral C. H. Woodward, com
mandant of the Third naval district, drives the first rivet to lay the keel of the new United States Battleship
U. S. S. Iowa at the Brooklyn navy yard. Observing the ceremony are Captains C. A. Dunn of the navy yard,
(left); T. B. Richey, production officer of the yard; and Commander J. E. Kieraan. The public was not invited
to the keel-laying, because of the necessity for privacy and speed.
‘Dog House’ Would Be Cool Place for Summer
Dog members of Rear Admiral Byrd’s Antarctic expedition were given the utmost care and attention.
This section of the East Base camp pictured above was called “Dog Town” by members of the expedition.
Each dog had an individual hut supplied to him for the duration of his stay which was made snug and comfort
able against the Antarctic weather. The Eskimo dogs were specially trained for hauling sledges and were re
garded as extremely important members of the party. Antarctic birds may be seen in the background.

two popular movie stars — one
grown-up and one little—romped
through a recent comedy. Design

ble neckline, pockets and all. Each

shirtwaist top.
Sharkskin, gabardine, gingham
and denim are good fabric choices
for mother and daughter alike.
