Daring colors do a lot for the way you feel
—and appeal. So don't let 'em lose their
personalities after one wrong washing!
Keep nice washables (those that show and
those that don't) away from strong soaps
and rough handling. Coddle them with Ivory
Flakes. Colors stay bright longer . . . fine
washables give you up to twice the wear.

He Laughs And
LAUGHS
Dave Caiden has a strange
profession: he guffaws for
a living and it pays off . . .
Dave Caiden has a big, booming, infectious laugh.
But Dave considered it just another hearty
guffaw until his first day in the Army.
He was riding to Fort Dix with a trainful of other
draftees. “What’s your business?” the fellow next to
him wanted to know. “Selling mattresses,” Dave
answered. The other fellow was a jokester: “Ever hear
what one bedbug said to the other bedbug? ‘I’ll see
you in the spring!’ ”
It was the world’s corniest joke—but Dave laughed.
The other men in the car, until then a downhearted
bunch, laughed at his laugh. For the first time Dave
realized that his happy laugh made others happy, too.
Dave, who looks like a ruddy President Truman,
was 43. With other men in that age group he was sent
to fjimp Clark, Mo. His hearty roar was the only
thing that cheered the GI oldsters up.
At camp entertainments, Dave, billed as “The
Human Laughmeter,” invited men to tell him jokes.
The audience got a double laugh — one at the joke,
one at Dave laughing at the joke.
Mustered out of the Army on account of age, Dave
talked radio comedians into spotting him in their
studio audiences. First he did this for free. Then a
mmtdian gave him a check, out of gratitude for his
contagious bellow. Dave wrote Washington asking if
laughing could be called a profession, was told yes,
and to send along his withholding tax. With his gov
ernment so strongly behind him, Dave became a full
time, professional laugher, is now called “Mr. Laugh."
Laughter, he tells you, not only washes troubles
away, but it keeps people looking young. A laugh
takes only six facial muscles, while a frown uses 57.
Dave wears nary a wrinkle on his best advertisement
- his cherubic face. - ALLEN CHURCHILL
