TO Mi Around Hollywood HOLLYWOOD Stdg. Hollywood (U.R) Rex, the reigning hat-maker (or movie queens, sighed Thursday he spends almost as much time wh i pp ing up $50 bonnets for poodles, horses and youngsters a s he does for the glamour gals. For five years Rex has designed $5 0- Aline Mosby to-Sl,000 crea tions for stars like Joan Craw ford, Lana Turner, Joan Fon taine and Jane Wyman at his famous black-and-gray chapeau salon in plushy Beverly Hills. He also makes most of the ladies' headgear you see in the movies, and retails his creations in 65 stores around the country. Since Rex's fame has spread, the customers come up with head-scratching requests. "We had a hat for Lana Turn er's little girl, with a big one to match for Lana," says milliner Rex Ferris, who runs the swanky shop with his partner, Wally Twinting. "Joan Crawford ordered matching hats for herself and her daughter. We also made bon nets for Joan Bennett's little girl." Betty Hutton ordered gray and yellow Easter hats, at $38.50 apiece, for her two junior beau ties. She also bought them $16.50 hand-made gloves. Even Trigger, Roy Rogers' horse, proudly sports a hat with v AUNt MOSBY United Prail Correspondent a Rex label which is a sign of distinction, along with Cadillacs, in the plaster city. The milliners made a wide straw hat, trimmed with wild flowers and wheat, for the horse to wear on personal appearance tours. Trigger also purchased a rubber cover for the hat in case of rain. "We also designed a hat for Seabiscuit, and it's still hanging in his old racing stable," says Rex. One of Greer Garson'i white french poodles owns a Rex cha peau. The "mad hatter", also sent another poodle a tiny wedding veil when she became a mama. The best customer at Rex's, though, is a two-footed luminary, Miss Crawford. She carts home an average of $4000 worth of hats a year. Services Arranged For Ashland Woman Ashland Services for Anna H. Clark, 78, will be held Satur day at 10 a.m. at Talent Metho dist church with the Rev. Alice Wooley officiating. Interment will be at Stearns cemetery, Talent.

POLLv CHANGED The polling place for Friday's primary elections in the Talent precinct has been changed to the music room of the new Tal ent school building, Sheriff How ard Gault said this morning. The polling place was originally scheduled to be in another sec tion of the school building, he said. Use Mall Tribune Went Ada Don't Let Machine Politics Deny YOU An EFFECTIVE Vote in the People's Primaries! A political group supporting one of the presidential candidates, seeking to control the Oregon delegation to the Republican National Convention, is throwing the full force of its powerful machine against the eight delegates who filed by petition, disenfranchising many Republicans who are supporting other candidates. The fact is that these delegates filed under provisions of the law designed to protect the public against just such conditions as we have in the state of Oregon today. PETITION METHOD PROTECTS THE PEOPLE The Oregon Direct Primary law under which these eight delegates filed by petition, seeking election as free delegates, not under control of any political machine, was initiated by thj people and adopted in June, 1904, by an overwhelming vote. In 1916 a State Supreme Court ruling left the original petition method unchanged and intact. Protects Against Machine Politics In 1939, the legislature passed a law taking from the people the privilege of naming their own dele gates to the national convention. I"he law was re ferred to the people who rejected it, choosing to leave the petition method on the statute books. The petition method ot filing is therelore a valid law, for the specific purpose ot protecting the public against just such machine politics as we are witness ing in the state today, in connection with the wire pulling and maneuvering on behalf of ONE presi dential candidate. IF YOU WANT YOUR VOTE TO BE EFFECTIVE VOTE FOR THE PETITION DELEGATES! The Oregon Primary this year is net representative because It does not give the voters a chance to vote on all the avowed candidates and lists several who claim not to be candidates.

Since its founding in 1876, more than 1,000,000 duplicate specimens have been distributed to colleges and aca demics from coast to coast. The institution also has set up ex hibits at all major expositions in the United States. The National Museum Is ac tually an outgrowth of the pri vately endowed and supported Smithsonian Institution. It was set up in 1876 as a separate de partment. Although it is sup ported by government approp riations, the fupds are adminis tered by Smithsonian officials. Washington (U.R) The United States National Museum has been recognized by scien tists throughout the world as a prime source for reference and record but to the public it ts fast achieving the status of a "curiosity." Few visitors to Washington leave without going through the museum's buildings of arts and industries and natural history The two buildings play host to nearly 2,500,000 sightseers a year. Only a small segment of the public realizes the intricate and complex organization which keeps this institution alive and what it is seeking to accomplish. The comparatively infant mu seum serves a threefold purpose. It houses national scientific and historic treasures, staffs more than 700 trained specialists and scientists, and is a museum to which the public can turn for self-improvement and study. Displays Papular The public, however, Is be ginning to think of the museum only in terms of the objects which are displayed in the ex hibition halls. Although the ex hibits are important for their "visual education" role, their displays number less than one ped cent of the total items In the national collections. The real wealth of the mu seum lies in Its vast reference collections some 33,000,000 items. The worth of these art icles is not in themselves, but in the use which the institution's staff makes them for research study. . The staff, by means of re search on specimens widely col lected and carefully preserved, has created an orderly treasure house of reference materials to serve the public. The material is now the world's foremost col lection of items relating to the natural history, ethnology, geo logy, and palenontology, engin gineering and industries, and history of the United States. In 1951 alone, more than 303, 000 specimens were added to the museum's collections. It is not known how many of them will prove entirely new to science until research work has been completed. In that year, the in stitution published some 158 re ports which announced results of their study. Museums Helped The museum's six depart ments of anthropology, botany, engineering and industries, geol ogy, history, and zoology have supplied invaluable information about the world in which we live its science and culture.
