Mae West
To inflate the vest, two cords with knots on the ends were connected to small cartridges of fluid carbon dioxide. When the wearer needs to inflate the vest, he or she pulled the cords which triggered the carbon dioxide and caused gas to instantly fill up the vest’s air pockets.
Because the front air pockets filled quite completely, the wearer than had the look of a buxom woman. The World War II men who wore these began to call them the Mae West. (In the 1970s some thought the term should be updated, and they called the vest the Dolly Parton.)

Presidential Message on Read Across America Day, 2019
On Read Across America Day, we join with students and their families, teachers and librarians, and communities across our Nation in promoting the joy of reading and the many ways in which literacy enriches our lives.
Since 1998, Americans have celebrated Read Across America Day to help inspire young people to read and to support literacy for all our citizens. Throughout history, literacy has led to incredible discoveries, groundbreaking innovations, and development of the world’s greatest minds. By enabling us to explore new subjects and challenging us to think critically, reading helps power the success of our Nation.
As we mark this special day, let us remember that all children hold the promise of a bright and beautiful future, and it is through the wonderful gift of reading that they begin to learn, grow, and explore. In the timeless words of Dr. Seuss, “the more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” May these truths be a reminder of the duty we all share to instill a love of reading in future generations.
