Many people claiming to be
vegetarians do not really rate
the classification. They consume
cooked vegetables. A genuine
vegetarian is one who eats only
raw vegetables. The most cele
brated of genuine vegetarians
.was Jlahatma Gandhi. Inciden
tally, Gandhi was married when
13. His bride was 10. The Gand
his remained married for over
sixty years and were the parents
of four sons.
Horses & Women
When women get together,
what is the major subject of
their conversation? It is, of
course, men. Recent research, in
dicates at all feminine gather
ings 50 per cent of the conversa
tion concerns men, 15 per cent,
clothes, 10 per cent children,
and 5 per cent each, beauty
treatments, movies (including
TV) and housekeeping. Accord
ing to our Horses & Women ex
perts the aforementioned figures
seem accurate except as to the
conversation dealing with men.
They say it should be 60 per
cent. That is the national aver
age. In Chicago, Los Angeles,
Baltimore and Seattle it is 70
per cent. In the Borough of the
Bronx, New York, it is 85 per
cent. Bronx women think and
talk about men more than the
females in any other section of
the United States.
Passing By
Gene T u n n e y. Millionaire
businessman. Once a heavy
weight boxing champion of all
the world. It has been frequent
ly said that while Gene was a
clever boxer he was not a hard
hitter. That's wrong. Tunney
was one of the hardest hitters
ever to step into the squared
circle. Harry Greb, who fought
Gene five times, once said,
"That Tunney slings a right that
tears your insides out."
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
was the first public television
broadcast in the United States?
A. Was the opening of the New
York World's Fair which was
televised by the National Broad
casting Company April 30, 1939.
Q. Was "Peaches" Heenan
Browning, wife of "Daddy"
Browning, from Brooklyn? A.
"Peaches" was born in Colum
bus, Ohio. When she met Brown
ing she was a resident of the
Borough of the Bronx.
Sidelights
It is said that upon entering a
department store, 90 per cent of
women turn to the right. So at

which he wrote when 11, was
titled "The Bobolink Waltz." A
copy of that certainly should be
a collector's item.' . ...
Among the Married
Have you been' married ten
years or more? Did your wife
save her wedding gown or the
dress she was married in? Does
it still fit her? That is, has she
retained the same measure
ments she had on her wedding
day? In brief, has she a "bride's
figure?" I know a woman, mar
ried twenty years, who has
same measurements as on her
wedding day. Says she managed
to keep her figure the same for
twenty years by bending down
and touching her toes twelve
times daily.
Asides
More Brooklynites participat
ed in World War II than natives
or residents of any other bor
ough or city in the United
States. In the beautiful borough
across the bridge reside over
327,000 World War II veterans.
Good old Brooklyn! . . . "A
voman born under Gemini
(May 21-June 20) makes a very
interesting armful but quite a
handful. Is very difficult to
handle. Truly a problem wife,"
writes a New Yorker. "I know.

This is the month when spring
is scheduled to begin. The cor
ner will be turned from winter
on March 21 at 1:36 a.m. (PST).
Over the entire earth the sun
will them be above the horizon
for practically 12 hours. This
date marks the vernal equinox.
Those who enjoy early rising
can still see glorious Venus low
in the southeast in the dawn.
This planet has faded slightly
in brilliance since the first of
the year. Mercury is lower, far
ther east and of much lesser
brghtness. Yellow, non-twinkling
Saturn can be spotted well
up in the southeast. .
Jupiler in Splendor
For evening study of bright
stars and planets, let us observe
at about 8 p.m. Only slightly
south of the zenith (overhead
point) the planet Jupiter glows
in splendor. The planet Mars is
still in the evening sky and will
be seen as a red object, not un
usually bright, fairly well up
above the west point of the
horizon.
Orion is still the finest star
group at our observing hour.
This splendid constellation is
fairly high in the sky, in the
south-southwest. It is easily spot
ted by the short line of three
equally bright, evenly spaced
stars which mark the hero's
belt. Above the belt note the
two bright stars in his shoulders.
The brighter is Betelgeuse, red
dish in color. Below the belt,
the brighter star is Rigel. The
line of faint stars hanging from
the left side of the belt is Orion's
sword.
High in the west the tiny
group of a few faint stars form
the Pleiades (Plee-ya-deez). Be
tween the Pleiades and Orion,
the V of Hayades (Hi-a-deez) is
easily located. The V is standing
upright. All its stars are faint
with the exception of orange
Aldebaran at the top of the left
branch of the letter.
Capella Glittering
Only a little west of the zenith
the fine, yellow Capella is glit
tering. This is the same type of
star as our sun. Note the small
triangle of stars, the Kids, near
Capella. .
About due south the brightest
of all real stars, Sirius, in the
Big Dog, is sparkling energeti
cally. Higher, the fainter Pro
syon in the Little Dog is easily
found.
The eastern half of the sky at
this hour can boast of only two
bright stars. One is Regulus,
high in the east-southeast. Regu
lus is at the end of the handle
of the celestial Sickle. The
curved blade, made up of rather
faint stars, can easily be traced
a little higher and to the left
of the handle. The curve is open
About 130 people attended a
meeting of the Northwestern
Mining council here Thursday
evening. The discussion was de
voted largely to uranium and
manganese, and their discovery
and development opportunities.
A. C. Van Galder, Jackson
ville, discussed uranium produc
tion in Colorado in which he
and other local people are inter
ested. They expect to start ship
ping from seven properties in the
near future, he said, and he
went on to describe methods of
uranium prospecting used, and
the formations in which it is like
ly to occur.
Displays Samples
He displayed a number of ore
samples from the Colorado prop
erties, showing how they show
up in Gieger counter and black
light reactions. Some local spec
imens of ore also were shown.
Van Galder emphasized the
need for careful check of owner
ship rights on areas where dis
covery is made. He added that
the Atomic Energy commission
is cooperative with those discov
ering ore, and usually will have
a representative on the ground
within 48 hours.
Geiger counters and scintil
lators were shown and demon
strated by John Garner of Cal
Ore Machinery company and E.
R. Santo of Santo's Agate shop.
Discuss Manganese
Bruce Manley spoke on man
ganese ores, telling of the uses
for the metal, and of the types of
ore common in this area. Al
though U. S. consumption is some
700,000 tons annually, little is
produced in this country because
of foreign competition, he said.
Manley also reported on a
recent meeting of the Colorado

pal interest was in uranium, but
that there was also interest in
rare earth minerals which are as

phasized that a strong mining as
sociation is vital to mineral pro
duction. '
Clark Anderson, secretary of
the Roxy Ann Gem and Mineral

plans for the gem and mineral
display to be held here in June.
He said exhibits will come here

Frank DeSouza, president of
the council, presided.
Bang's Testing
Program Started
A federal program for testing
of all beef cattle for Brucellosis
(bang's disease) is now under way
in Jackson county, according to
W. B. Tucker, county agent. The
program is on 'a voluntary basis
at no cost to the cattle owner
and all veterinarians in the
county have been authorized to
make the tests, Tucker said.
. Beef heifer calves between the
ages of six and 12 months may
be vaccinated against the disease,
also at no cost, it was stated.
Herd owners are asked to con
tact the veterinarian of their
choice to have the tests made.
The program has the approval
of the Jackson County Stock
men's association and the county
court requested it in formal
action last month.
