Buoyant air bag systems lift Bunken ships via airtight bags. An Iowa machine cuts tea cakes with a pivoted circular saw and gear system.

The article contrasts pointed and round girdle designs with lace trim and ribbon bows, praising the pointed “Conventional” style for its snug fit and decorative sash. It also includes a recipe for a tomato sauce using twelve tomatoes, peppers, onions, spices, vinegar, and salt to seal in jars for a year.
