Selling Of Rugs Less Risky Than Becoming Monarch New York, Feb. 18 lU.R) A real, live prince is peddling rugs today around the United States. Prince Slgvard of Sweden said he was entirely in favor of monarchies. As a bread-and-butter business, however, rugs are less risky. "And it's very hard sitting around waiting tor somebody to die." Renounces Rights Sigvard renounced his third-in-line rights to the Swedish throne some 16 years ago when he married a commoner. His grandfather la 91-year-old King Gustaf. His sister is the queen of Denmark. He's also a sort of cousin to the British royal family and its newly mar ried Marquess of Milford Haven, who is in the laundry business himself. But for business purposes the prince is plain Mr. Sigvard Bernadotte, a middle-sized, dark haired man of 42 with deep blue eyes. a. necktie to match, and a face-lighting smile. Designs Rugs And he's something more than a salesman. He is the artist who designs the hand-made Swedish rugs he has brought here for the first time, and he is one of the founders of the firm which ar ranges their weaving by the country people of southern Sweden. There's nothing very unusual about a prince being in business these days, Bernadotte said. His own younger brother. Carl Johann, has been a New York business man for the last four years. Sigvard said his family "is very happy about" his being self-supporting as well as about his business, which is putting native handcraft on a commer cially profitable basis. His father, crown prince Gus taf Adolf, bought the first rug they turned out for his palace, Bernadotte said.

They're call ing it a sexy shocker. It's not. "Stromboli" is prim and prop er enough to take your own grandmo t her to. Tile only hot" tiling in it is the volcano. The critics panned everything fund ft'om the way the volcano erupt ed to "Rossellini's amateurish direction." Variety, a movie trade paper, gave it a rave review three weeks ago. Their critical called it "all artistic triumph." Two days ago they did a fast about face, saying Miss Bergman's trouping is tile only tiling that Vlrtinii McPhrrua holds the rambling story to gether. Rossellini's photography was okay, they said, but his picture "lacks a good story." On tlie other side of the fence. RKO studios is going right ahead, ballyhooing "Stromboli' in mile-high letters: "Raging passions'' filnied on a "raging island." Nothing could be farther off base. Ingrid may have been kiss ed on Stromboli, all right, but it wasn't in front of a camera. Mario Vitale, her leading man. hardly ever holds her hand even. The closest Roberto lets his girl friend get to "raging pas sion" is When she lures a light house keeper into a cave by the seashore. Tilings start to get in teresting there for a minute when Ingrid slips out of her shoes and plays "toesies" with the handsome muscle-man. But that's where Rossellini calls for a fade-out.

Hugh Pruitt Astronomer, Extension Division, Orefon Higher Education System If you are a watcher for the first sight of the "thin slip of the new moon" low in the west in order to prognosticate from its slant the weather for the fol lowing month, you should be able to make your forecast early this evening providing cloud conditions cooperate. But what ever the weather, fair or foul, it is possible to tell you the ap proximate "tip" of the crescent months in advance yes, years and without the least fear of error. Despite the idea of some that either a wet or dry new moon may grace the February- heavens, the keeping of records for a few years would badly shake the faith of the most de vout believer in moon lore. The new moons of this month are alike year after year, but quite different from those of late sum mer and early autumn. Called 'Dry' Moon It is generally stated that when the crescent appears in such a position as to hold water inside its golden bowl, it is properly called a "dry moon;" when tip ped at such a dangerous angle as to spill the celestial fluid, a "wet moon." With this under standing, the February new moon is always decidedly arid; that of August, extremely liquid. As the crescent becomes plumper and higher during the early days of this coming week, note that the rounded side is in general downward and would hold considerable water.

From the latitude of Mexico City, both points will appear "straight up." Farther north, there will be some tipping toward the left. At the crescent stage six months later, the open side of the bowl will be turned toward tne south and would spill every drop that might be placed in it. The farther north, the better "spiller" it becomes, and in southern Alaska, a line connecting the points will be verticle. Round Side to Sun The rounded side of the moon is always turned toward the sun. In late winter and early spring, the crescent is fairly well above the setting sun. so the points ex tend almost upward. Six month. later, when it is on that part of its nath which is far south of the sun, its points extend toward the left. The slant indicates the time of year; and the weather only in so far as this depends on the sea son. Some Indian irioes arc saiu to have reasoned thus: "When the DOints of the cres cent extend upward so that the powder horn will hang on them, leave it there for the forests are too dry for hunting. But when the tips are so inclined that the oowder horn will slide off, take it and go, for the woods are wet I enough to permit successful j stalking of the game."
