 Josie, Faith, and Liz __**  ** Inventions **-  The Band-Aid was invented by Earle Dickson. The Band-Aid helped America because it was more convenient for the people and it kept the dirt out. Also Band-Aids stay in place better than gauze and tape which the people used, and also it helped protect small wounds and now larger wounds, improving one’s health.

The Lie Detector was invented by John A. Larson. John was a medical student from the University of California. The lie detector would monitor the person’s heart rate and breathing to see if the persons pulse started to rise. Later the skin monitor was added to tell if the person was sweating. When the person would start to sweat and their pulse would rise, an alarm would sound and they would know the person was lying. This helped because it would show if someone was lying. It was commonly used for police interrogation. This helps America because it showed who was lying about what they did.

White Castle restaurants where invented in 1921 by Walter Anderson. This Changed America because it was a place for families to go and enjoy family time while also being able to eat out for fun, when a family had some extra money. This also changed America in a big way because after White Castle was invented there were many other compainies that started to emerge. Such as Wendy's and Mc.Donalds. This also hurt America because the fats in the food now in modern times makes people gain weight.
