The Year of Gadgets. The world's inventors are having their day at the international patent show in New York City where they are exhibiting more than 5,000 gadgets, some large, some small, but all testifying to the fact that genius is not sleeping, nor sleepy. This young lady is Miss Kathryn Feibusch, an inventor in her own right. She is holding the invention -- a non-skid soap -- the string preventing the possible skid. Miss Feibusch is just 11.
