BLONDE HAS IT FIGURED OUT:
How to Cool Off a Wolf?
Tell 'Em They're Intelligent
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood, Sept. 29 (UP) The best way to cool off a Hollywood
wolf, a New York blonde declared today, is to tell 'em they're
Intelligent for that sort of thing."
Blue-eyed Phyllis Kirk swears it works better'n a fistful of
hatpins.
That s what everbody on-
Broadway advised her to stock
up on when she transplanted
her talents to this land of bach
elor apartments and bared
fangs.
"Hat-pins," she grinned.
"Sharp ones. But I've found
something better."
Miss Kirk says, sure, she's
bumped Into her share of gents
with "ideas." But she gets their
minds on other things by butter
ing up their egoes.
And she s wiggled out un
scathed every time.
"All you do," Phyllis says
calmly, "is make sure you don't
startle 'em. Say you're caught
in a bear grip. Fighting does no
good. And you can t run.
"So you Just say: 'Come now,
I really don't want to. And I'm
sure you're Intelligent enough
and sensitive enough not to force
me against my will. You're real
ly a brilliant man. I know . . .
Otherwise I wouldn't hav gone
out with you,
And you'd be surprised, she
claims, how fast the boys for
get those etchings they wanted
to show her. They spend the rest
of the evening knocking them
selves out to prove how' right
she was about that "brilliant"
tuff.
"Of eourse, some of them
never ask you out again," Phyl
lis shrugged. "But who wants to
go through ail that again any
way?" Miss Kirk is a young actress
Bam Ooldwyn brought to movie
town for a top part in "With All
My Love." She's beautiful and
she's shapely and you can bet
she's been handing out a lot
of those "You're-too-intelligents"
since she arrived.
She tries to keep herself from
getting caught flatfooted with a
four-handed romeo by a little
pre-date screening.
"If you know a man has some
thing besides dinner and danc
ing on his mind you don't go out
with him," she says. "And their
are ways a girl can tell. It's a
feeling that conies through
even over a telephone line."
But now and then even the
most careful maiden gets fooled.
That's when you fall bark on
the Intelligence routine.
So far, Phyllis says she has
n't had to worry about what to
do If the gent doesn't care
whether she admires his brains
or not.
"I suppose," she says meek
lly, "I'd just run like the dickens
before it's too late.
Detroit Salt Mines
Air Raid Shelters
Detroit, Sept. 29 W Salt
mines under the city of Detroit
are being inspected for possible
usefulness as air raid ahelters in
case of an atomic bomb attack.
The mines honeycomb the
southwestern sector of the city.
City planning commission offi
cials are looking them over.
"They seem to think that with
proper ventilation the old salt
mines would make excellent
shelters," said John H. Wither
spoon, temporary chairman of
the mayor's civilian defense
committee.
One official pointed out that
the mines could only shelter a
part of the population. Others
would have to be evacuated.

Emergency Landing
Field at Port Orford
Gold Beach, Ore., Sept. 29 Wi
The county airport, just north
of Port Orford, will provide an
emergency landing field for
planes in this area soon.
The airport, acquired by the
county from the navy, will have
a beacon operating soon. The
lights used for night landings,
shot out by vandals, are being
replaced.
County Judge Guy Forsyth
said that planes wishing to land
at night should circle Port Or

The amount of uranium and

Atomic piles do not make

this country's first pile at the
University of Chicago it was the
"key" to the atomic bomb. Ac
tually, an atomic pile is a con

splitting atoms, whereas in the
bomb the chain reaction is un
