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.

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. DON'T TIE THE HANDS OF THE OREGON DELEGATION

and diffusion of knowledge,"
the museum has done much to
stimulate the growth of, and in
terest In, museums throughout
the country. 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.

"Representative Robert W. Root, Republican from
Medford, served on and gave valuable service to
thrta of tho most Important committees in the
house: Agriculture as vice-chairman, highways,
and labor and industries. Ho proved to bo a
forceful speaker and made an excellent impres
sion as a first termer."
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
BOB ROOT
ERIC ALLEN IN THE MAIL TRIBUNE:
"Jackson County's own Representative Bob Root, gained high
praise during the last session for his ability to grasp tho state's
problems."
C. C. CHAPMAN IN OREGON VOTER;
"Jackson County can wall bo pleased and proud over tho perform
ance of Freshman Representative Robert 'Bob' Root When ho
talks he knows what needs to be said and his courago in tough
spots is much to bo admired."
GRAHAM DEAN IN ASHLAND TIDINGS:
"Although a freshman his sincerity and objective approach to
legislative problems was different, non-political; among veteran
newspaper observers it was conceded that Root was one of tho
more thoughtful, studious, conscientious legislators."
C. C. CHAPMAN IN THE
OREGON VOTER
Robert W. Root, 36, Jackson County fruit rancher
and packer, ranked all other first-termers in tho
1951 session, not only in committee work (High
ways. Labor, Agriculture), but in debate; became
recognized as a floor leader and is certain to bo
come one of tho major factors in 1953. Though
comparatively young, ho demonstrated maturity
in judgment.
