If Chilvary

Not so long ago, an English
physician — Dr. Ashley Montagu
— announced boldly that women
are stronger, healthier, longer
lived and better balanced emotion
ally than men.
Men are physically stronger, he
acknowledged, but they also burn
up their energy faster. And, any
how, they just use their strength
to carry a lady's bags and pick
up her handkerchief.
A Philadelphia physician — Dr.
William Leaman — chimed in with
a report that women are smarter
than men . . . smart enough to let
men do the heavy work and so out
live men by an average of six
years.
Now, in Ottawa, it is disclosed
that the insignia of the Royal Can
adian Air Force is being changed.
It will be smaller. And the reason:
The smaller insignia will be more
appropriate to RCAF women per
| sonnel.
In London, a Men’s Freedom
league has been formed. It says
the world is in danger of becoming
dominated by the fairer sex, and
it has come out for full equality if
the ladies want equality at all.
Let the girls, says the league,
pay for their round of drinks in
the local pub. Let them be con
scripted into the army, like men.
And, says the league sharply, let
the tipping of hats by men be
abolished.
The West May Be Wild
But No Safaris Please!
By Associated Press
Judging from the news, the
frontiers are moving closer to
home . . . what with mink being
trapped in Manhattan, uranium
being hunted in the neighborhood
of Philadelphia, and safaris active
in Central park, New York.
The Manhattan mink number
not merely one but eleven. The
magnificent pelts were taken by
the naturalist, William Beebe,
who promptly trundled them to a
Fifth Avenue furrier. The furrier
swapped the 11 mink for some
dressed furs.
Beebe recounts the incident in a
book of “Unseen Life in New
York” . . . Not only unseen, it
might be added, but unsuspected.
Part-time trappers are active
around Washington, Phildelphia,
New York and Boston, says the
National Geographic society.
Rhode Island has a big enough fur
catch to report it officially every
year. Not only mink manage to
survive within the shadows of New
York skyscrapers, but also op
possum, raccoon, skunk, muskrat
and an occasional ermine.
And if they’re scarce, they’re
well worth trapping.
The fur market has been boom
ing for a long time. It got up to
half a billion dollars a year in the
1920’s and just after World War II
Right now it’s less a boom than a
pop — around a 300,000,000 dollar
pop.
It appears that as automatic
heat made houses warmer, the
ladies needed more to keep ’em
warm outdoors. Fur was a natural
for the purpose. Anyhow, fur looks
nice.
Fur made a fortune for John
Jacob Astor. Since then, men have
learned to raise pelts on farms,
where less is left to chance. There
are at least 6,000 fur farms from
Maine to California. Last year,
they marketed $2,500,000 mink
pelts alone, which brought an av
erage of $20 each.
This spring, for the first time,
ranch chinchilla pelts will come to
market. Ranchers have been rais
ing them since 1923, but the ani
mals were so valuable for breed
ing that nobody felt inclined to
take any pelts.
In spite of all the ranch fur,
though, at least half of the fur
still comes from the wilds. Some
thing less than half of all the fur
used in the United States is im
ported. The imports include rab
bits, which are cheaper to raise in
Australia. Rabbits raised in the
i United States are worth more for
meat.
And whether the pelts are taken
in New York or not, the chances
are nine to one they’ll wind up
there, for most of the nation’s fur
coats come from a hectic, fiveblock
stretch of Manhattan.
The safari in Central park was
not seeking pelts. Quite the con
\ trary, it was looking for a squirrel
known as Pepe, or possibly Zou
Zou. And the safari wanted Pepe
— or Zou Zou — to enjoy the com
fort of his own pelt for a long time
to come.
Pepe — or Zou Zou — belongs
to a writer named Paul Wohl. A
neighbor not so long ago mistook
him for a wild squirrel and de
posited him in Washington square,
where he struck up friendships
with some of the visitors.
One of them decided that a
square in the middle of Manhat
tan was no place for a squirrel and
informed the Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals. An
agent transferred Pepe — or Zou
Zou — to Central park, where
there are broad acres and lots of
other squirrels.
Now, seeking to restore the ani
mal to his owner, friends have
been about calling to Pepe — or
Zou Zou. He originally was named
Pepe, but presently he came tc
a'nswer as readily to Zou Zou
Now, he seems to be answering tc
neither.
Meanwhile, planes have been
winging over Bucks county, Penn
sylvania and Hunterdon courity,
New Jersey — neither too far from
Philadelphia, with aerial sour
doughs aboard. The Atomic En
ergy commission, aware that ur

All of which suggests that you

... at least, if you’re willing to
settle for a squirrel named Pepe

Squash Court
Talk Squashed!
By Anociitcil Pre»«
The chancellor of the University
of Chicago is out to squash any
talk that the atomic chain reac
tion was first proved in aquas)
court. And he should know. Th<
chain reaction was first set up by
a group of scientists working ai
the University of Chicago.
For want of space, they used *
sports court. The chairman of tht
National Association of Manufac
turers, Charles Sligh, Jr.. callc<
it a squash court in a speech t<
the American Association o)
School Administrators.
From the same platform, the
University of Chicago chancellor
Lawrence Kimpton, squashed thal
description. ''It was," he said, "s
handball court." He had witnesset
the explosion, he explained posi
tively, and it was a handbal
court — not squash.
Cancer Research Directors Says
Heavy Smokers Need Chest X-Rays
By AttociaUd Pretk
The American Cancer society’s
statistical research director said
i today that a heavy smoker is very
I foolish if he does not have a chest
x-ray taken twice a year — al
though there is no proof smoking
causes lung cancer.
Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, the di
rector, gave the advice in a copy
righted interview with the maga
i zine U. S. TJews and World Re
port — and the magazine describ
ed him as smoking during the in
terview. ,
Dr. Hammond Is in charge of a
research project under which 22,
000 volunteers have been inter
viewing 204,000 men 50 to 69
years old about their smoking ha
bits. Each year, the causes of any
deaths among the group are medi
cally investigated.
The research director said a
heavy smoker should take the rec
ommended precaution — as he put
it —• “so long as there is even
a strong suspicion that smoking
-causes lung cancer.”

He also said everyone, especial!}
those over 45, should have an x-raj
at least once a year, and he add
ed:
"If you are a timid soul, ther
you should also give up smoking
at least until the facts are known.'
But as for his own smoking, h<
said of the problem he is investiga
ting, "I am not going to let il
have any effect on my persona

Kennan Won't Push
U S Foreign Service
By Attocidril
A former U. fl. Ambassador to
Russia, George F. Kennan, says
he wouldn't encourage any young
man to enter the American dip
lomatic service as things stand
today.
In an interview in the student
newspaper Daily Frincetonlan Ken
nan mentioned a number of fac
tors he said have detracted from
the foreign service as a career.
He declared that the service is
' burdened with what he called over
elaborate and cumbersome secur
ity precautions. He said there are
long delays in commissioning and
appointing officers, nnd that there
. are constant admissions of officers
■ at higher levels who have not come
up the ladder.
He also said the government has
failed to regularize the status of
the foreign service with relation
to the draft and obligations of of
ficers in time of war.
