Little Davey quite properly led the nation in this unique celebra tion. His great-grandfather, G. O. Guy, claimed to have invented the ice cream soda that people all over the world have been guZ' zling for almost three-quarteis of a century. : David trolled into a Seattle drug store arid mixed the anniv ersary soda himself with a little help from hjs father, Kenneth Myeis. Hu,v squirted chocolate syrup into a 'glass and plunked in vanilla ice cream. Then came the soda water mostly on David. The chocolate stuck to the bot '.om and the soda fizzled over the top but David gulped it down and said he liked it anyway. The photographers' flash bulbs pop ped Davey blinked his big Hue eyes, arid thus passed a per iod in the history of the ice cream soda.

Beauty-wise swimmers make a habit of bathing their- eyes, with a boracic solution right after they've had their. - mermaid's fling. This safeguard against any possible contamination of tvo bright eyes should be a "mijst" if you are not sure how clean the water is. To avoid risks, Barbara Hale "First Man Into Tokyo" lovely always carries an eye wash in her beach bag and bathes her sparklers even after a swim 1 in chlorinated water. , To safeguard eyes against re flected glare while in the pool, Barbara wears a film of; sun screen lotion over her lids an other cue for you which she says helps to prevent burn and is a protection against : cross hatched lines that may result fiom squinting. ' P. S. from Barbara: "When you come out and grab your- dark glasses, remember that they're for the sun and not for reading, knitting or driving at night." Three Restaurants Open in Olympia . OLYMPIA, July 23 (UP) There was a' mad scramble 'for seats today at three Olympia res taurants after other eating places closed their doors, awaiting fur ther allocation of red points, by the office of price administration. James Ramey, spokesman for restaurant owners who closed their establishments at midnight Saturday, said that "no reopeping is contemplated until, the . OPA comes through with more red points. It was a question of, pat ronizing the black market'or closing, so we closed." The sudden and effective clos ing action shoved the burden of feeding this city of war workers and state employees on three res taurants. Although the three eat eries now in operation ordinarily care for a high percentage of the trade, the closure placed the squeeze on their ration point sup ply as well. , Gov. Mon C. Wallgren indi cated' t'i a t 'additional ration points would have to be given to the three restaurants in opera tion "or this city will be without restaurant facilities entirely."
