Mars Drawing
Near to Earth,
But No Saucers
By Paul F. Ellis
(United Press Science Editor)
New York, March 21 IP The
planet Mars is making its closest
approach to earth in 10 years, but
scientists insist that it's no basis
for the new report of flying sauc
ers. Mars has been making these
neighborly visits every so often,
and on the current approach the
copper-colored planet will be as
near as about 44,000,000 miles
just a stone's throw in astronomi
cal distances.
The astronomers pointed out
today that on Thursday, March
23, the planet Mars will be direct
ly opposite the sun with earth in
the middle. From that date on, the
distance between Mars and earth
will decrease until about March
28 when the planet of the "Mar
tians" begins its usual retreat
into its eccentric orbit.
When the sun-earth-Mars line
up in a row, it is called an oppo
site and the last occurred in 1939.
At that time, however. Mars did
not approach as close as it will in
this opposite. The planet will even
be closer in 1954 when only 35,-
000,000 miles will separate earth
and Mars. That is the year wnen
astronomers hope to make some
real, scientific observations of
Mars.
Some Oxygen
Astronomers seem sure that
Mars has an atmosphere, but very
little oxygen not enough' to sup.
Dort life as is known on earth.
However, "yellow" and "blue"
clouds have been observed on the
. planet. They are so-called because
tney are picKed up Dy oDservation
through yellow or blue light.
One expert said today that with
Mars approaching earth to within
44,000,000 miles and about 123,
000,000 of the sun, that the plan
et's surface temperature might
rise as much as 10 degrees.
Earth people can now see Mars
with no trouble. It rises just as
the sun sets, and is brighter than
any star in the eastern sky. It also
is recognizable by the reddish
glow it radiates. The scientists ad
vise observers not to strain their
eyes looking for "flying saucers"
zooming off the. surface .of the
planet.
Britain to Dine
On U.S. Dried Eggs
Washington, March 21 (IB The
United States has agreed to sell
Great Britain some 1,158,000,008
dried eggs for a net price of only'
one cent a dozen. ' ,
The British technically will put
up S4,000,000 for the eggs about
4 cents a dozen. But this" govern
ment will supply $3,000,000 of this
total from funds of the economic
cooperation administration.
The eggs represent about one
third of the government's egg
hoard. It originally paid $40,000,
000 for them under the price sup
port program.

Boa Constrictor
In Colorado? Yep,
It Has Been Seen!
Castle Rock, Colo., March 21 ill'
Ranchers of this high altitude
cattleland were convinced today
that a tropical boa constrictor
is roaming their rangelands.
One was convinced that the
boa, which kills by crushing its
victim in its colls, had attacKea
one of his cows.
The ranchers were pretty cer
tain of how the boa arrived from
the tropical jungles to the wild
west.
A boa was among several trop
ical snakes that escaped three
years ago when the menagerie
trucks of a traveling circus were
involved in a collision near here.
No one took time to look for
the snakes since it was believed
that they couldn'f live for more
than a couple oi days in tne sun.
zero temperatures and arid con
ditlons of the high plateaus.
But. the ranchers said today,
the boa apparently survived,
"How any tropical snake could
live at an altitude of close to
7.000 feet is fantastic," said
rancher Norman Smith. "But
there definitely is a boa constric
tor here and it's on my place."
Track Seen
Smith said he has seen a four.
inch wide track in several places
on his land. He and his ranch
hands tried to follow the marks
but couldn't find the snake's hid
ing place, he said.
Sheriff John Hammond said a
road worker told him he saw the
constrictor crawling through the
sandy loam near where the hlgn
way crew was working recently.
The road man said the snake was
"about six inches in diameter."
The inake drew considerable at
tention after another rancher,
Ed Campbell, reported that one of
his cows suffered long gashes in
the loose folds of its throat last
week.
The gashes, said Campbell,
could have been caused by the
constrictor.
"I'm not satisfied that it
wasn't,"- he said.
In Denver, zoo superintendent
Clyde Hill said it was "unreason,
able" that a boa could survive
the winters in Colorado. He ad
mitted that "an alligator, also s
cold-blooded reptile, can freeze up
solid and then thaw out."
Gar-Truck Crash

escaped serious injury. He was
the only one to survive the crash.
Six of the victims died in the
wreckage of the automobile

dian underneath the front end of
the big truck.
One died while en route by am
bulance to a Beloit, Wis., hospital,
and another died shortly after ar
rival at the hospital.
Fire broke out in the wrecked

Best way to spruce up a telephone is with a soft, dry cloth... never with water, or any other liquid.
HOW TO TREAT YOUR TELEPHONE
1. A twisted cord can lead to trouble. Although the
wires are especially designed for flexibility, too many
twists and kinks may eventually break them and inter
fere with service until a repairman can c.Ul. Good
idea to get the curls out by letting the receiver dangle
and unwind by itself . . , then keep them out by
remembering, each time you call, not to put turns in
the cord as you handle the receiver.
3. Did you ever stop to think that your telephone
is one service or piece of equipment in your home
that's repaired and maintained for life at no extra cost
to you? This maintenance is one of the values in-
eluded in the rates you pay for service . . . rates that
make it one of your really good buys today.

2. It's built to rake it . . . but your telephone can
develop ailments if it's dropped. So make sure the
stand it sits on is solid and is in a spot where it won't
be accidentally bumped. Other ways to help protect
service: Avoid "gadget" attachments for your tele

may be pinched . . . and always keep water away from
