BEAUTIFUL DESIGN—An even dozen lovely Cypress Gardens Aqua-Maids pose in an attractive diagonal on a Florida beach.
WATER-GIRLS—A prolonged heat wave is causing English farmers considerable worry.

Now it has been cultivated as part of Britnin's plan
to grow more of her own food.

SINKING STEAMER—The excursion steamer, Omar, sinks in the channel of the Ohio River within sight of the office buildings of downtown Cincinnati. Nothing could be done to save the river boat as crowds stood on the shore-line and watched the beat go to the bottom. The cause of the sinking could not be immediately determined. The nine persons aboard the steamer when it first began to submerge got safely ashore and were uninjured, but were perplexed concerning the cause of their pre-season swim.
PRETTIEST CO-ED—Although this co-ed's name isn't Mary, her not-so-dumb lamb follows Margery H. Mchi all around the campus' of Middlebury, College, in Vermont. It isn't hard to see why, either, since : Margery was recently elected "Prettiest Co-ed" during Middlebury's annual festivities. Now the lamb is her steady escort, even trying to "steal" this picture.
