Sometimes his signal meant that he wanted to take everybody for a ride in the big Pierce-Arrow. "How do you feed all those kids, mister?" folks would yell when the car had to stop for an intersection. His favorite answer: "Well, they...
...notion about the chronology of the Gilbreth tribe's doings. Though father Gilbreth often sounds (and sounds off) like father Day, Cheaper by the Dozen lacks the literary merits of its wise, well-honed predecessor.

...somewhat mechanical to a purely electronic science. In 1928, a Scot, John Logie Baird, telecast a woman's face from London to the S.S. Berengaria, 1,000 miles out at sea, and in the U.S. fuzzy facsimiles of Felix the Cat were televised. Three years later, in a Montclair, N.J. basement, Dr. Allen B. Du Mont brought forth a workable television receiver. The image was becoming clearer...
