Couple Gives Benefit
Of Long Experience
Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) Robert
Baughman is 95, and his wife
92, but don't go calling them
an elderly couple.
"I don't think anybody is any
older than they feel," said
Baughman, who added that he
doesn't feel in the least bit too
old.
In fact, said Baughman, he's
known in his neighborhood as
"The Kid."
The Baughman's married in
1931. Each had been widowed
and each had eight children dur
ing their first marriages.
The Baughmans keep on the
go, visiting people in their neigh
borhood who are ill or in trou
ble. Mrs. Baughman had to slow
down recently because her arth
ritis started troubling her. "The
Kid" did the housework until
his wife recovered.
Now, both are back visiting
around in homes to give the
"younger" folks the benefit of
their combined 187 years of ex
perience. Around
Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Pren Correspondent
Hollywood (U.R) That fa
mous fight scene from, the old
movie classic, "The Spoilers,"
was filmed
affain in Hollv-
tV i wood today
dui in mis
1955 version
the doubles
had their day.
Universal-Inter
national
Studio decided
to make the
Aline Mosby fifth celluloid
version of tne durable old west
ern.
In the original 1914 6ilent,
William Farnum and Tom Sant
schi sizzled the screen with a
fight that turned into a real one.
Santschi lost three teeth and
Farnum got a broken nose, a
fractured hand and a blood clot
in his cheek that almost killed
him. : : ,:. :
Thus I sped breathlessly to
U-I sound sta'ge 14 to be on hand
when Jeff Chandler pummelled
Rory Calhoun to a bloody pulp,
or vice versa. . .
I found these two actors sit
ting casually on the sidelines,
blood on their faces. On closer
inspection, the red smears looked
like nail polish. And how was
the fight?
"Ask them," grunted honest
Chandler, and pointed : to two
stunt men. '
Chandler Fakes Hit
One of the stunt doubles had
his hair dyed gray to match
Chandler's. The other kept his
dark hair long to be a carbon
copy of Calhoun's.
The camera moved in for : a
closeup. Chandler faked a punch
at Calhoun. Calhoun's head
snapped back "so it looks like
you get hit," he explained later.
They sank to mattresses placed
out of camera range.
Then the doubles took over
for a long scene in which chairs
were thrown, tables overturned,
punches traded and bodies tossed
down staircases.
Calhoun and Chandler watched
the action with interest.
After several moments of sil
ence, Chandler observed to Cal
houn, "your double makes more
noise than mine."
Farnum and Sanschi were sent
to the hospital for three days
after their legendary battle.
Farnum mourned before his
death three years ago, "they all
have to use doubles nowadays.
They don't let you pare a finger
nail yourself."
Minor Bruises
Chandler rolled up his trousers
to show, rather proudy, bruises
about the size of dimes on his
knees. Calhoun displayed an
iodine-smeared bruise on one
hand.
Director Jess Hibbs interrupt
ed to say his "Spoilers" fight was
a tamer version of the original.
"It's been imitated in every
.T-V . western with all sorts of
gimmicks, so the only way we
could be different was to go back
to the old, simple routine of two
guys who stand up and fight,"
he said. .
The doubles by now were
scuffling and grunting. One had
a broken finger.
Chandler yawned, "Well, I
guess 1 11 make a phone call,"
and sauntered off.
The "Spoilers" fight also was
done by Noah Beery and Milton
Mills in 1923, Gary Cooper and
William Boyd in 1930 and John
Wayne and Randolph Scott in
1942, or, rather, with the help
oi tneir aou.DJ.es.

Formosa Crisis Focuses World
Attention on Rocky Little Isles
Washington (U.R) The For
mosa crisis has focused world
attention on a string of bleak
and rocky little islands off the
coast of China.
Quemoy, Matsu, Nanchi, the
Pescadores the names were
unknown to many Americans
until recently. Now they are in
headlines almost daily as the
world waits tensely to see
whether Red China will try to
seize them as stepping stones to
invasion of Formosa.
Information Provided
To acquaint Americans With
these suddsly-important piles of
rocks, the National Geographic
Society dug into its files today
and produced the following in
formation on the main islands
involved:
Nanchi: The largest in a clus
ter of tiny - islands 150 miles
north of Formosa. Since the Na
tionalist withdrawal from the
Tachens, the Nanchi group
stands as the - northernmost
picket line against possible Red
invasion of Formosa. They are
now heavily reinforced and
equipped with radar.
Nanchi itself is a rocky iip
thrust barely a mile long, 800
yards wide at its broadest, and
750 feet high. It lies 20 miles
off the mainland and some 40
miles from the Red port of Wen
chow. Matsu: 150 miles southeast of
Nanchi, stands in the approaches
to mainland Foochow, opposite
the northern end of Formosa.
Like Nanchi, it is ringed by a
group of rocky islets subject to
Nationalist control.
Quemoy and Little Quemoy:
Lie within the outer harbor of
Amoy, one of the Communists'
most important ports. All to-

gether, they are not much bigger
than Staten Island. Heavily
garrisoned, the Quemoys have
been attacked, bombed, and
shelled intermittently since 1949.
Troops are dug into an elabo
rate tunnel system in the clay-and-rocky
hillsides.
Has Fishing Village
Wuchiu: An isolated dot of
land between Matsu and Que
moy, and some 14 miles out in
the strait still reportedly held
by Formosan forces. It has one
large fishing village.
The Pescadores: 64 tiny
islands totaling only 50 square
miles, - lying across the main
body of the strait on the For
mosa side. Penghu is the largest
and holds the chief port, Ma
kung. Collectively the islands
are known to the Chinese as the
Penghus; "Pescadores," from the
Portuguese, means "fishermen."
No would-be attacker of For
mosa in history has ever suc
ceeded without first occupying
the bleak Pescadores. Today ap

habit the island cluster, 30 miles
off the Formosa coast.

Whyte-Melville.
Do you get a "coffee break"
at your place of business? How
much time are you allowed for
lunch? Is there a rest period
in the afternoon? The Swedes
are great believers in "breaks"
or rest intervals in the working
day. The average Swedish work
ingman gets off to an early start.
Begins work at 7:30 a. m. At 9
a. m. he has an interval for
breakfast of eggs, mush and fish.
At 11:30 a. m. he gets a half an
hour for luncheon of roast beef,
potatoes and coffee or milk. At
2 p. m. he is allowed 15 minutes
for coffee and cake. At 3:30 p. m.
he takes time out for a smoke.
At 4:30 p. m. he is through for
the day.
Alimony
Only one fourth of the di
vorcees in the United States are
collecting alimony.. If you have
an ex-wife to whom you are pay
ing alimony, you might call her
attention to. this statistical in
formation so she will know how
fortunate she is.

In a Few Words
Ed Howe advised, "If you want
to know how old a woman is, ask
her sister-in-law." Wilson Mizner
said, "Women can instantly see
through each other and it is sur
prising how little they observe
that is pleasant." Friederich
Nitzsche observed, .'There are
two things a real man likes
danger and play and he likes
women because they are the most
dangerous playthings."
Please Note
In what position do you slum
ber the best? Some very sound
sleepers claim the face down
ward, arms outstretched position
is the best producer or restful
sleep. Are you over 40? Then,
according to some medical men,
you should sleep with your legs
elevated in the air. There is a
gadget known as a "leg elevator"
provided for this purpose. The
elevation of the legs speeds the
return of the blood to the heart,
relieves varicose . veins, leg
cramps, arthritis and aching legs.
Or, so the aforementioned medi
cal men claim.
Asides
A Leo (July-August 22) man
and a Libra (September 23-Oc-tober
22) woman make a good
matrimonial combination. Both
Leo males and Libra women are
fond of excitement, travel and
change. Also, both are intensely
affectionate. Or, so say the star
gazers . . . was recently served
a dish described on the restaur
ant menu as "fried chicken a la
Maryland." It hadno ; cream
gravy on it. If it has no cream
gravy, it is not "fried chicken a
la Maryland."
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. My
grandfather, once a traveling
salesman, says the Beverly Hills
Hotel, Beverly Hills, Calif., is
over forty years old. I claim not
even the city of Beverly Hills is
that old. How about it? A.
Your grandpa is right. The Bev
erly Hills Hotel is about forty
three years old. Was built in
1912 . . . Q. Was John "Bet You a
Million" Gates from Chicago? A.
Gates was definitely a small town
boy who made good in big cities
all over the world. He was from
Turner's Junction, 111., where he
started his business career as a
clerk in a hardware store.
Briefly
Many jockeys wear St. Chris
topher's medals. St. Christopher
is the patron saint of travelers.
Jockeys should wear Santiago
medals. Santiago is the patron
saint of horsemen ... The first
song I ever heard Al Jolson sing
was one titled "Love Thy Neigh
bor as Thyself but Leave His
Wife Alone." That was at the
Orpheum in Brooklyn.
