Bartlett St. Medford Oregon is not the most precious metal any more. There are at least eight metals worth more than Iheir weight in gold. These and thousands of other "popular fallacies" have been collected into a book with that title. The author, 82-year-old Alfred Ackermann, spent years on the volume, assisted by J. W. Jarvis, who is 87. Fallacies Listed Among other popular fallacies listed by Ackermann are these: Exercise does not rest the mind because all fatigue is es sentially the same and "no ath lete was ever a genius." Flowers in the bedroom do not take all the exygen out of the air. A frosty winter is not as heal thy as a mild one. Nero did not fiddle while Rome burned. The violin was not invented until the 16th century. The roast beef of old England is not as ancient as all that. Brit ons beat the armada on bacon and each other in the civil wars on stew. I The bride docs not walk up the aisle. She walks up the nave. Cleopatra a Greek Chop suey is never eaten by the Chinese. The bagpipes are not a Scot hish invention. They probably i were of Roman origin. Cleopatra was Greek, not ! Egyptian. I The original Cinderella did ! not wear a glass slipper. It was i fur and the mistake was made in translating from the French. King John did not sign the Magna Carta. He could not read or write. Ackermann cites sources for all his oddities. He bases his con tention that women are the hunt ers on a report which showed lhat more than 80 per cent of middle-class men said they had been seduced first by a woman. German Rearming I May Come But West , So Far Undecided j Frankfurt, Germany (U.R) 'The giant Krupp works and the 1 1. G. Farbcn combine, backbone of the nazi war machine, have had their war potential reduced to almost zero, allied sources de clare. If Germany were given the au thority of the western powers to rearm, as some militarists plan ning the defense of West Europe have recommended, she woXild have to start from scratch. The Krupp munitions empire, centered in Essen, Is a mass of rubble and steel skeletons, the result of war-time bombings and post-war dismantling. T h o u s a n d s of unemployed workers live in caves dug be neath the crumpled factories, bit ter and disillusioned. Many of i them openly pine for the "good i old days" under Hitler. i Krupp in Prison I Allied Krupp. heir to the em pire, is a war criminal doing a i 12 years' stretch in the Lands berg war crimes prison.

According to a Krupp spokes man, only two Krupp plants are back in operation. They are a locomotive factory in Essen, MINISTER GRATEFUL OVERCOMES CONSTIPATION "I am a retired minister and very grateful that eating ALL-BRAM overcomes flry constipation.

Law Bars Return Krupp attorneys are fighting for the eventual return of the em pire of the Krupp family, but the high commission law on re organization of the steel indus try appears to forestall that in thes; words: "... The allied high com mission has decided ... it will not permit the return to posi tions of ownership and con trol of those persons who have been found to have furthered the aggressive designs of the National Socialist Party (the nazis.)" Krupp produced only ten per cent of Germany's total steel production, but it was a key target of' the bombers and the dismantlers because it specialized in armaments. Earlier Krupps armed the kaiser's army In the first world war. I. G Farben. the greatest eco nomic concentration of all time, was spread throughout Germany. Sixty per cent of it was in the western zones and 40 per cent in the Russian zones at the end of tiie war.
