(International) As We Live HERE'S HOW TO CULTIVATE INFECTIOUS GOOD HUMOR A jolly, good-humored person puts everyone in a good mood. All emotional states are conta gious ana mis holds true for happiness and content m e n t , too. When a per son is in a state of good humor, the world seems brighter to him. And, because he is Dr. Hurlock happy, he puts rth his best efforts, achieving mm- than otherwise. This adds n his harminess and his good humor increases. Success always vrinn. with it hacDiness and rnntentment. . Naturally no one can be hap- bv all the time and no one ex pects it. But, if good humor can be his predominant emotional gtate, it will go a long way toward making life pleasanter for him and for all with whom he comes in contact. Here are some ways to culti vate good humor, and it must be cultivated for no one is born with it: 1 Keep yourself In a good physcial condition, well rested, properly nourished but not over fed, and as free from minor dis turbances (like colds) as you possiblv can. No one can be ex pected to be happy and cheerful if he is miserable but, if he is feeling well, happiness comes almost automatically. Set Bright Side 2. Learn to gee the bright side the eloomiest picture. There is a great deal of truth to .avinff that "every cloud has i. ,:i.r lininff" Sometimes it is hard but it is there and can found. It is easier to be in a good humor when things look bright than when they are dark and gloomy. ' 3 Fill vour thoughts with pleasant experiences instead of allowing your mina iu unpleasantnesses. Thoughts have a powerful influence on how we feel and act. Therefore, if you can think pleasant thoughts, you will feel pleasant and this will make you bubble over tor au to see and imitate. LETTERS FROM READERS Pettiness: "Why are soma people petty about little things that really don't mean much and yet quite broadminded bout others?" (M Pettiness about small thines comes from having mark ed likes and dislikes. The things a person is petty about are usu ally those that are personally distasteful to him or which he dislikes intensely. As a general rule, thev are the things that ir ritate him because they make him feel inadequate. When he is "broadminded" it is about thines that make him feel im portant. As a rule, you will find that pettiness is found mostly in ceonle who have inferiority complexes. Intolerance: "My parents are in their late fifties and quite young for their ages. But, they are very intolerant in their attitudes toward our children. Aren't they too young for this?" (A) Tolerance has nothing to do with age. Some of the most intolerant people are children or teen-agers while some of the most tolerant are grandparents. It is a matter of the person's out look on life, not his age, that de termines the degree of his toler ance. Your parents grew up in a generation when children were more strictly trained than they are today. They may even have had very strict parents for that era. Naturally, under such con ditions, the present-day methods of rearing children do not ap peal to them and they show their protests by their intolerant atti tudes toward your children's be havior. Domestic Work: "I really don't like anything about housekeeping but I am Ttry much, in love and would like to marry. Should I tell the man I love how I feel about domesticity and run the risk ii - r J' 1,1 ' "1 .if -W' By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. of losing him?" (A) A man expects the woman he marries to be a good house keeper and to do the work of running his home cheerfully. If you art sure you cannot do this job fairly and cheerfully, don't marry. Nothing leads to marital trouble more quickly than a poorly run home and poorly cooked meals. (Copyright 1952, General Features Corp.) July Sky By J. HUGH PRUITT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher EducaUon System The brilliant planet Venus, which recently disappeared in the rays of the sun, now sets only a few minutes after sunset ami is still invisible to us. It will be a few weeks yet before this god dess of love and beauty again adorns our twilight sky. The planet Mercury is now sinking into the horizon in the west northwest about an hour after the sun disappears, but it is not favorably placed for ob servation. It will be in a slightly better position a week from now. Seen at Nightfall The planets Mars and Saturn are still arranged one on each side of the star Spica. Looking toward the southwest at night fall we see . the three in fairly evenly spaced positions, almost in a line. Saturn is farthest to the right, Spica next, and Mars farthest to the left. Saturn and Spica are of about equal bright ness; Mars- is considerably brighter and of a distinctly red dish color. The little star Por rima is still quite close to Sa turn. For early risers the planet Jupiter is splendid in the east ern sky. It is now rising in the east northeast over three hours before the sun, and by sunrise is high in the southeast. Regulus Setting For a study of the brighter stars, let us observe the heavens about Wz hours after sunset. Very low and a little north of wes Regulus will soon be set-J ting, it is at the end of the handle of the celestial Sickle, the open side of which is now facing downwards. Very high in the southwest, the orange star Arcturus is con spicuous. It is at the lower point of a combination of stars which form the Kite. The figure is quite distinct when once spot ted. If you have a distant and level northern horizon and your lati tude is not too for south you will sight yellow Capella flash ing almost on the sky line nearly due north. This star is moving eastward and after a few hours will be climbing into the north eastern sky. Tail Extends Down Almost due south and not high in the sky, the fine red star Antares (three syllables) is throb- Salt Lake Man Held For Knife Slaying Salt Lake City 4U.R) A Salt Lake City man held by police for questioning in the Fourth of July knife killing of Sergio Tru jillio, 50, of Layton, Utah, Sat urday admitted "cutting him up a little." DetUcia Valcez, 39, of Salt Lake City, said he. "came home from uptown" and found Trujil lio on a porch bed with his wife. He told his wife to go inside, he said, and then Trujillio hit him twice on the nose. 'Valdez said he then took out his pocket knife and cut Trujillio and "that's all I remember." Trujillio, whom Valdez said he had known since he was 10 years old, was at the Valdez home to attend a holiday party. The biggest bats are found in the Old World tropics and are popularly called flying foxes. They have a wingspread of about five feet. Dead tine on Classified AOs: 5UiL p.m for following day: 10 am.

Darley One economist claims the cost of living in this country has gone up 89 per cent since the fighting started in Korea. How accurate that is I cannot say but the rising price situation has made a bargain hunter out of me. Today I noted an offer of 120 safety razor blades for $1. I may try them. Incidentally, I recentlyl discovered some cigars which I enjoy immenselw, though the price is $5 less for a box of 50 than I have been paying. A penny saved is a pen ny earned. And there is no in come tax on money earned by saving. Says She "What an assemblage of drips that bachelors convention in Bethlehem, N. H., is going to be," writes a young woman of Man hattan. "The bachelors' parade in connection with it will be one of the sorriest spectacles of all time. Good-looking, attractive bachelors never emphasize their single state. They don't have to. They always have an abundance of feminine admirers and well- filled little, red books. It is the matrimonial cast-offs, the fel lows who have been rejected by many women, wno are always trying to attract attention to the fact that they are bachelors Most of them are sad-looking creatures in their middle thir ties. I suggest the band leading that bachelors' parade play the song titled Gee, I wish I had a Review bing in the heart of the Scor pion. The tail of this creature extends down slightly to the left toward the horizon, then curves upward. - High in the south southeast the bright star Altair is prom inent. It is easily spotted. A fainter star stands on each side of it. Almost in .the zenith a little eastward Vega is very bright. Somewhat "lower and to ward the north, Deneb is at the head of the Northern Cross. This figure is now lying on its side with the foot extending toward the right. Don't forget to look for our familiar Big Dipper which is now sliding down the northwest with the handle following the bowl. Seven hours from now the Dipper will be low in the north. HeavySnows Delaying Fire Lookout Placing Salem (U.R) Heavy snows in the Cascades have delayed the placing of forest fire look outs in the Detroit district of the Willamette National Forest But officials said Saturday they hope. to move the guard- against-the-fire-season force into 16 lookout posts and guard sta tions within the next week. rne unusually heavy snows have made trail and telephone mamtenance impractical at the higher altitudes. Many of the lookout posts are in isolated areas requiring several miles of packing by mule train. PORTLAND COPS BUSY Portland (U.R) Portland police said Saturday they were having a "very busy" week-end Officers said they were arresting drunks at a rate of better than two an hour since 8 a.m. Friday and jail cells were bulging with prisoners. None of the cases can be disposed of until next week because courts were in holiday recess. Heiina! Let Us Do Your Washing Try Our Economical Family Hash Bundle Everything washed and fluff dried.

Mighty mite of the saddle. A riding sensation on New York's thoroughbred racing circuit known as "The Big Ap ple." Young Mr. York is con stantly referred to as a "west ern jockey." This is an erron eous reference. While he has done some riding on the Pacific coast, Ray is a native of Glou cester, Mass. Male and Female In Pittsburg, a young fellow called a girl "Chubby," so she socked him on the jaw and knocked him flat. In Chicago, a girl pitched a no-hit game of soft ball against an all-male team. In Boston, a young wom an beat five men in a 100-yard dash. In New York City, a young woman helped a man into a taxicab and the driver re ported he heard the man mutter: "She outdrank me." How right that man was who said the fe male of the species is more dead ly than the male. And, as time goes by, the females seem to get deadlier and deadlier. A sad situation. Cancer (June -21-July 22) wom en hang on to things regardless of value. Their garrets, bureau drawers and closets are usually packed with worn-out or useless articles. Their handbags are all carelessly cluttered up with all sorts of things that should have long since been discarded. The average woman usually has about 36 different things in her handbag. Many Cancer women have over 100. Or so say the star gazers. (Note: As we are check ing on the stargazers, we will appreciate it if all husbands of Cancer women will immediately inspect the garrets, closets, bu reau drawers and handbags of their wives and report on their findings.) Many Housewives, Students Increase Unemployment Roll Salem (U.R) Thousands of students and housewives who ap plied for jobs during June in creased unemployment during the past month despite greater seasonal activities on farms and in food processing, the State Un employment Compensation Com mission said Friday. Portland reported 1700 more job seekers July 1, accounting for more than half of the 17,000 idle Oregonians as compared with 17,078 a month before. Un employment was estimated at 8900 in the Portland metropoli tan district, although both Hills boro and Oregon City reported declines from June 1. Eugene, Klamath Falls, Al bany, Lakeview, Grants Pass and The Dalles also had more work ers actively seeking jobs than a month ago. Wet weather ac counted for some timber area layoffs but entrance of students and women into the labor mar ket was responsible for most of the trend. Unfilled job openings listed by local offices were on the decline. Only 1729 were reported, com pared with 2330 the month be fore and 2370 July 1, 1951. Demand for harvest workers slackened in most sections of Oregon, Hillsboro, Gresham, Hood River and McMinnville were the only offices noting even a slight shortage. Continued warm weather may advance ripening of caneberries in West ern Oregon but the damage to the cherry crop created tem porary surpluses of pickers in some areas usually rushed in early July. The damage to the cherries was caused by rain. Expertly Finished - PHONE 2-2534 op 2-J776 Laundry CENTRAL & Delivery 117 S.
