By Lifting showing what pioneers have done in industry.) (This is the third of a series ! | | By SIGRID ARN AP Feature Service Writer NEW YORK-—Remember several years back when the alarm clock had its face lifted? The tubby-look- ing tin number that was always | toppling over on its tiny feet sud- denly came out with a substantial base and thinner lines. That change was dictated by a young man who had been design-| ing stage sets. Name: Henry Drey-| fuss. Present age: 34. Born: New | York. Works here. Married. Lives in a pent-house. | That clock put him into a pro-| fession so new it had no name. Now it has one: industr designing. There are several industrial de- signers, but Dreyfuss was a pio- neer and he’s still a leader. A Trio of ‘Easiers’ | The thing that makes him tick is his desire to redesign objects, so they will be easier to use, to| keep clean and to look at. When that happens he says, sales jump, | whether it happens to be ice picks | or trains. And Dreyfuss has designed; | both. He did the new Twentieth| | Century limited. | He started as a stage designer at 19 and kept at it until a large store | wanted him to redesign Kitchen | | utensils. He turned that down, but set out on the same road himself. | The clock job was the result. | Since then he’s dipped his fin-| gers into the average home a dozen |times. Take ice picks. The manu- | facturer of one type wanted to boost sales. His pick had a long| handle, not very easy to grasp. It | chipped ice and that's about all. | First, Dreyfuss turned the handle |into a ball that fit the hand snugly. 1Thcn he flattened one side so it wouldn’t roll when you laid it on the| table. And he put a piece of m(‘lal‘ into the flattened part that made |the handle a swell hammer for cracking the ice after you'd | chipped it off the cake. Another time he tackled a wash- Ing machine. He went to the fac- tory and ran one. The controls were on the side, and he grew tired |bending over to find them. The | Dreyfuss model has controls on top | {in plain sight, and the machine is| |encased in a white metal cylinder {lha(,'s easy to keep clean. i i ‘A Tip From a Juggler He got another idea because he }Lravelx everywhere by plane. He| noticed that stewardesses had| |trouble juggling lunch trays when a plane was in the air. So he de- |signed a spill-proof lunch tray of | papier mache. It's the size of a port- able typewriter. The dinner plate| lis merely an indentation in the |tray. Several paper cups are set| |around the edge in other indenta-| | tions that prevent them from spill- | ing.. A top fits over the whole tray to keep the food warm. And the; trays are so inexpensive they can be thrown away. That means no| washing and storing of dishes. | .Dreyfus is entranced with bhis| Twentieth Century. It’s sheer| swank on wheels. Inside, it is two shades of gray with accents of rust and royal blue. Outside it's grey with accents of shining aluminum and biue. The club car has cork walls with strips of copper for ac- cent. Dreyfuss doesn’t like the old facing-forward of train chairs, so his club car couches are groupad {as they are in a real club lounge. |But the gadget that really pleases | the traveling boys and girls is the| speedometer in the observation | he had so much fun watching the ace of the Old Alarm Clock Dreyfuss Started Stream of Streamlinin & -« Interier of the Dreyfus-Designed Twentieth Century Limited Club Car speedometer in the railroad presi- dent’s private car. ‘The Late Mr. Dreyfuss’ He's having great sport now de- signing the perisphere, one of the two theme buildings at the New York's world fair. It's a ball, 180 feet in diameter. He’s filling it with | model city near the base. The | ash customers will look down on the city from two circular plat-| forms moving in opposite direc- | tions high in the ball. | Recently Dreyfuss was the sub- | ject of an editorial in an important | New York paper, He never thought that would happen until he was dead. So now this enthusiastic oung man refers to himself as The Late Mr. Dreyfuss.” {INQUEST IS CONTINUED * IN JUNEAU WOMAN’S MYSTERY DEATH CASE Inquest into the mystery death of Alice Hedges early yesterday morning has been continued until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, pend- ing further investigation, it was gnnounced today by Uniled States Commissioner Felix Gray. In the meantime, Vivian Smith, miner, who had been jailed in connection |with the case, was released but is under subpoena to be called later if needed. Assistant District At- torney George W. Folta said. A s angle has developed in the o | which is now being investigated, the prosccutor said Mrs. Hedges was found, virtually | nude, with sheet tied loosely around her neck in a cabin on the hillside off South Franklin Street about 1 oclock yesterday morning. The body was found by Albert Johnson, longshoreman, who occu- pied the cabin with Otto Davis. Autopsy performed by Dr. L. P. Dawes revealed, he said, she had not died from hanging as had been at first reported. His report is scheduled to be given the coroner’s jury Monday. / | Funeral services for Mrs. Hedges | have been set for 2 o'clock Mon- day afternoon at the C. W. Carter Mortuary with the Rev. C. C. Per- soneus officiating.
