SECURITY COUNCIL The meeting site for the Pacific Security Council will be this portion of the Marine Corps Air Station at Kaneohe, Hawaii. The station was reactivated and commissioned as a Marine Corps Air Station January, 1952. Mokapu Peninsula, on which the station is located, is virtually an island, connected only by a thin causeway on the northeast side of Oahu. On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Does your wife try to make her feet appear much smaller than they are? After calling her attention to the "obey" in the marriage ceremony, order her to stop wearing heels that are too high and shoes too small. Tight shoes not . only make a female irritable but also make her age more rapidly. It is said when a woman takes a half an inch off the size of her feet with tight shoes she adds ten years to her iacial appearance. Mules & Men Too many bachelors are lured into matrimony before they are ready Sor it. I feel it is our duty to aid susceptible single young men to avoid being" prematurely captured by clever husband hunters. Among the danger signs to be watched, for are cer tain remarks made by design ing young women. For example: "Your mother is charming." Or: "You're just a big helpless baby." Or: "I was reading an astrology book last night. Our signs are compatible." Or: "Come to my house tomorrow night. Enjoy a real home cooked dinner. I'm going to do the cook ing." Also, young fellow, when a girl starts stopping you in front of furniture store windows, be very much on your guard. She has matrimony on her mind and ou are her choice. Japanese Ringman Ever see a Japanese boxer? Neither have I. However, now there is a - Japanese . flyweight named Yoshio Shirai reported to be of Championship caliber. Do you consider yourself a well in formed sports fan? Then tell us how much a flyweight boxer weighs.' That is, what is the weight limit for flyweights? . First Lady - One of the - most - talented White House hostesses was a beautiful violet -eyed blonde spinster. That was Harriet Lane, niece of the bachelor President James Buchanan. Life in the White House was very, gay .with Harriet in charge of the enter taining. One of her best parties was - in honor of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII. Harriet did not marry until she was 36. Her husband was a Bal timorean, Henry JS. Johnston! The ' Harriet Lane Home, . still very active in Baltimore, was established by her. Any sick child up. to 14, regardless -of race, creed or color, is eligible for treatment at this homeYAge limit was put at 14 because it was at that age the oldest son of the founder died. Asking . . Queries from clients: Q An old fellow here in Seattle says he was present at the shooting of Dan McGrew whom he knew well. Also says he was acquaint ed with the "Lady Known as Lou." Is that possible?. A There never were any such- persons as Dan McGrew or the "Lady Known as Lou." Both characters were fictitious and created by Poet Robert W. Service. Q Who is the patron saint of acr tresses? A St. Genesius- is the patron saint of the drama . and therefore of actresses. Some ac tresses always carry with them Available In 12-ez.CANS 1 -WAY Bottles and ' Full Quarts gold St. Genesius medallions. Please Note World's greatest gum chew ers are the Australians with United States second, New Zea land third . and Great Britain fourth. That's what Philip Wrig ley says and he certainly should know. Mr. Wrigley says that he only chews gum when driving an automobile. Eggsi Has always been my belief eggs produced by barnyard hens are of better guality and tastier than; those of so-called "battery hens." So I 4was interested in learning of a man who is in the "battery hen" egg production busirjess, but for his own con sumption he uses the eggs pro duced by the barnyard hens on a farm he owns. Please Note Some motor car designers continue to favor the idea of having the engine in the rear.

Pacific North west forestry leaders are calling on the psychologists to help solve a vexing forest fire problem. The problem, says W. D. Ha- Oregon ( T f f iranic May Claim 1,200 Portland (U.R) More than 1,200 persons will die from acci dents in Oregon this year if the present rate continues, the State Board of Health has predicted. . The department warned that latest national figures showed Oregon to be the sixth most dan gerous state in the nation and said that "unless our residents and visitors start displaying something other than the preva lent 'it never happens to me' attitude, it appears certain we will top last year's 1,234 acci dental death toll." Up to June, before the heavy accidental death vacation period had started, the state board vital statistics section recorded 477 deaths, 1.1 per cent above fig ures for the same period last year. genstein, chief forester 'of the Industrial Forestry Association, arises from carelessness of mo torists who toss lighted cigar ettes from moving cars and campers who leave fires unat tended and uncontrolled debris burning. Yearly Toll Heavy Hagenstein said fires caused by these careless acts which in nine out of 10 cases start within 100 yards of main travelled roads and highways take a yearly toll of millions of dollars of valuable young trees and timber.

"Maybe they can tell us how to reach the very small percent age of the public who still per sist in careless and wanton acts," said Hagenstein. "At least, it is worth a trial." The forestry official said may be the psychologists can invent a new "dunce-cap technique" to shame the violator or find out what makes an unconscious ar sonist of a person with normal tendencies."
