Title: Making Over Last Year's Hun Helmets
-
Subtitle: Their material and shape will make them useful in places high and low
-
caption 1: Down at the bar rail, where worth-
less men throw at it worthless
things. It has fallen so low that it
is just one step above the cuspidor
caption 2: Up in the tree-tops it
serves as a bird's nest
de luxe. Yet the poor-
est little early bird can
move in rent-free
and raise her family
caption 3: Tony’s brother brought
home two helmets. He
gave one of them to Tony
and the other to their
mother. Now, Tony is a
cobbler and uses many
nails. Heturned his helmet
upside down and made a
tray to fit it. In the
tray he keeps small nails,
in the helmet large ones
caption 4: Tony's mother is indus-
trious and neat—note the
lace edging on the shelf
over the stove. She is
also economical, and so,
instead of hanging her
helmet over the parlor
mantel, she has brought it
intothe kitchen, and boils
in it the family potatoes
caption 5: The flowers that bloom in
the spring have nothing to
do with the pot. These
are flourishing in a most
unattractive old thing—a
German helmet. These
helmets are very useful,
they balance so beautifully
