There should be a statue of Florence Lawrence somewhere In Hollywood. The intersection at Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street would be a nice place for it. Why should Miss Lawrence be so honored? She was the first film star. Before she was made a star by Carl Laemmle in 1910 no actresses were ever given screen credit. Incidentally, the first producer to pay a film star a salary as high as a thousand dollars a week was Joe Schneck. The star he paid it to was Norma Tal madge. Those Saucers Am asked if I have any idea as to what a "flying saucer" is? I doubt there is such a thing. Those who report having seen such an object have probably experienced an optical illusion. Your attention is called to a re cent statement of Prof. Ernest Esclanglon: "None of the many astronomers who sit nightly at telescopes observing the skies has ever reported seeing a fly ing saucer." Horses & Women There are numerous feminine celebrites who are living proof that a woman -of 50 or more can so rejuvenate her appear ance that she appears from twen ty to thirty years younger. Natur ally the question constantly arises among women in general, how they do it. The research of our Horses & Women experts re veals it is accomplished in a wide variety of ways. It is now reported a Paris beauty expert in three weeks can make a wom an appear twenty years or more younger. However, the treatment calls for so much courage, pa tience and endurance that few women can stand it. Among oth er things, it calls for wearing a mask-like preparation, as hard as concrete, for seven days. Throughout the treatment much pain is experienced. Still it is said to pay off handsomely. At the end of three weeks the fifty ish female is, in appearance, 30 'years old again. All ready to enjoy a second spring. Passing By Joe E. Lewis. Extremely whimsical comedian. It is gen erally believed Joe is a Chi cagoan but he was born in New York City. However, he began his entertainment career in Chi cago and still lives there. Joe was at one time the vaudeville partner of Johnny Black, the fellow who wrote "Dardanella" . . . Gene Kelly. Talented danc ing actor. Mr. Kelly looks some what different off the' screen than on. He frankly says that when acting he wears height building shoes and a toupee. However, he has no desire to deceive the public when not pro fessionally engaged. Ot There The British Association of Tall Women now has over 2,000 mem bers. Most are between 20 and 30. Also, they really are tall. The average height is 5 feet, 11 inches in stockir feet. Object of the organization is to get a better break in hosiery, clothing, hotel accommodations, etc., for lengthy females. An interesting aspect is that since the organiza tion of this association it has BLINDS & SHADES Custom made Budget priced Free Estimates Home Owners Specialties Phone 7231 Ashland or Medford 3-3484 . received many letters from men asking for introductions to tall women with matrimony as the1 object. Briefly Many men continue to fea ture those fancy colored shirts hanging outside the trousers. That is the most ridiculous male style since the days of pegtop trousers and raccoon coats. . . . Note it stated all the "great drinkmg songs" refer to beer or ale, such as "The Stein Song," "Brown October Ale" and "Here's td Good Old Yale, Drink Her Down." How about that Wesleyan University song titled "Drink a Highball at Nightfall"? That's really a great drinking song. Peanut Experiment Used by Navy To Cut Dental Bill Washington CUR) The Navy is trying to cut its dental bill with the aid of peanuts. A research project has, com bined the use of sailors and pea nuts to show the chewing habits of people who have partial or complete dental efficiency. If, the Navy says, its members do not take advantage of im proved dental work, why spend the money? The peanut-chewing experi ment was revealed in a House appropriations sub-committee meeting inquiring into next year's Navy medical funds. Efficiency Sought According to Capt. Charles W. Schilling, chief of the Navy's medical research division, the Navy is spending considerable money on complete or partial dental restoration for the sake of efficiency. To find out if dental money is being spent wisely, an experi ment was run at Tufts College and the Great Lakes naval train ing station. Each sailor was giv en one peanut and instructed to chew it 20 times. That was fol lowed by an examination of the remaining peanut particles and the chewing method. The results showed that peo ple chewed very much according to their right or left handedness. If a person had teeth mission on one side, he would shift his chewing to the opposite side and do an efficient job of it. Question Raised While not solving the prob lem, it did raise the question of whether, in the interest of sav ing money, making dental resto ration was necessary for effi ciency. A more fool-proof experiment into this chewing problem has been developed by naval scien tists with electronic chewing gum. The gum is connected by wire to a machine so that when a sailor bites into it, the dentists can read on a dial the kind of work his teeth are doing. Science at Work New York i(U.R) Operation Insect is going on in the Hickory Head community of Georgia. It is an operation that should show definitely the value of using an insecticide to control or destroy pests that each year take millions of dollars away from farmers through crop loss. Here is how "Operation In sect" works: First, there are 101 farms in the community and all the farmers are co-operating. The community has been "roped" off from the rest of the world. First Phase Finished The first phase of the opera tion consisted of farmers clean ing the debris from corn cribs, fumigating old corn and spray ing bins with insecticides to kill weevils and prevent or slow down field infestation. It was done after the farmers had a mass meeting with federal farm specialists and were "briefed" on the operation. The second phase will be at harvest time, when the corn from approximately 4,500 acres in the community will be treat ed with a powdered insecticide, known as pyrenone grain protec torant. The treatment is to keep the insects out of the ' corn in storage. The farmers and fed eral experts hope to know by December how the project is working out. May Show Results Early The results of the operation should be determined quickly. Ihe farmers expect to check re- By PAUL F. ELLIS United Press Science Editor tion of their corn with the un treated corn in cribs on farms surrounding the sanitized and treated area. The operation was planned originally during a meeting of the "First Southern Corn Con ference on Insects and Diseases" last November. At that time, the loss of corn to insect damage was reported and it was said that in many states as much as 25 per cent of the corn crop was lost every year to weevils;. The farmers decided to do something about it. They pick ed Hickory Head community as a testing ground. If the opera tion is successful, similar tests are expected to be made in other parts of the country. suits by comparing the condi- ers. More Workers Idled By Sfeel Walkout Milwaukee dl.PJ The total of Milwaukee area work ers idled by the steel walkout rose to 4,300 Tuesday. The Allis-Chalmers Manufac turing Co., laid off 1,800 at the end of Monday's work shift, blaming the layoffs on the steel shortage. A company spokesman said it planned no more, howev er, in the "foreseeable future." The biggest industrial layoffs in the Milwaukee area are sched uled Thursday when Nash-Kel-vinator Corp. and International Harvester lay off 15,400 work- SPODTT MEWS By BOB AND JOE GRIME DESTROYER OF CLOTHES Grime comes from two major sources. It's either dirt from the atmosphere which gets pressed or rubbed into the garment. Or it's perspiration or skin oils, again pressed or rubbed into the garment. Or both usually both, in fact. There is, naturally, no preventive remedy. The atmosphere is never wholly clean. And we do perspire, and our skin exude oils. That's the human being for you, and that's all that can be said. However, there is a treatment.- And this is it. NEVER PRESS ANY GARMENT UNLESS IT HAS BEEN CLEANED. Pressing or rubbing imbeds the grime more deeply, and causes it to penetrate the fibers of the fabric. The result is that the fabric in the garment will deteriorate more rapidly. We therefore recommend that, in addition to being" sure the garment is clean before it's pressed you CLEAN YOUR CLOTHES OFTEN. It has been demonstrated time and again by every test known, that a garment which is regularly cleaned outwears one that isn't, by a wide margin. There's another kind of "griminess." That's graying. This is due either to incomplete washing or cleaning, and is especially true of white garments. "White" garments are not, of course, naturally white. They're made that way through bleaching and unless rebleached fre quently during "wet" and "dry" cleaning will have a tendency to return to their original grayish cast. Cleanable clothes can be kept from graying, whatever their color, by proper cleaning with fresh and potent solvents. , And, remember moths are more active during the Summer. Let us moth-proof your winter clothes while we clean them. ' MEDFORD CLEANERS 34 N. Holly- Phone 2-6500 for Free Pickup and Delivery Joe E. Barrett POLARIZED FUR STORAGE Robt. C. Wright Wilsons Putting on Show, Dead Girl's Mothpr Claims Portland (U.R) The mo ther of JoAnn Dewey, Meadow glade, Wash., girl whom Utah and Turman Wilson were con victed of kidnapping and kill ing, charged Tuesday the bro thers "are putting on a show to escape the hangman's noose." Wilsons Forgiven "I don't hate them," Mrs. Dew ey told the Oregon Journal in an interview. "I've never hated them. I even forgive them, but they've had more than a fair chance." Mrs. Dewey told the news paper that the Wilsons are guilty in her opinion and she would not think of interfering with whatever course the law takes During the Wilson's trial for the March, 1950, kidnap-slay-ing, Mrs. Dewey said Turman coached Utah and kept telling him to "fool the dopes." Religion as Cloak "Now they're fooling the dopes , again," she said. "They are not converted. They are us ing religion as a cloak." Mrs. Dewey said she did not plan to write Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of Washington to plead for leniency for the Wilsons, now four times saved from the gallows at Walla Walla. "Justice is what they will now receive," she said.
