Sirs:
One of the important events of the President's Birthday Ball celebrations was the cutting of his birthday cake at the Uline Arena in Washington, D. C. Mrs. Roosevelt was too busy to attend all the diamond jubilee parties in the capital but she did attend to the cutting of the 650-lb. cake. Here is a picture of the the cake after the First Lady had cut it and given a piece to each of the movie stars who were present. After the picture was taken, pieces were sold to customers at $1 a cut.

RUBBER SAVERSirs:
With Mr. Nelson's need of rubber for National Defense, the 70 lb. of live rubber bands collected by 24-year-old Douglas Gorr before he joined the Army sets an example for all of us. During the past three years he has collected approximately 100,000 and has made a huge ball out of them. This is enough rubber to recap about 24 average-sized automobile tires.
