extracted text (Extract Text): AN enterprising aviator has
combined the German pas-
sion for family portraits with an
airplane propeller in the clock
shown below. The propeller is
the frame in which the works re-
side, and the hours are marked by
relatives. This clock is not only
ornamentally excellent, but is also
very useful to the busy housewife
pickling pickles in the kitchen.
Too busy to stop her work in
order to find out the time, she
calls to her young son in the liv-
ing-room: “Wie viel Uhr ist es?"
(What time is it?), and he
‘promptly replies: “Onkel Fritz
nach Bruder Hans” (Uncle
Fritz after Brother Hans).
Mother _ interprets this as
twenty-five minutes past eight,
and continues her pickling.
