Jupiter Claimed
Sending 'Messages'
Princeton, N.J. OJ.FO Two
cientists reported today that
the giant planet Jupiter is
broadcasting radio "messages."
These messages have been
picked up on Earth in "the first
recorded instance of such waves
being received from one of the
other planets of our solar sys
tem." The report on Jupiter's broad
casts was made to the Ameri
can Astronomical society here
by Drs. Bernard F. Burke and
Kenneth L. Franklin of the Car
negie Institute of Washington.
The radio waves from Jupit
er, largest of the planets, were
received by the institution's
huge radio telescope near Sen
eca, Md. They consist ."of short
random bursts of static resemb
ling thunderstorm interference."
Burke and Franklin said the
explanation of Jupiter's radio
emission is not known. But the
Carnegie Institution said "it
might be caused by disturbances
in the atmosphere of Jupiter
similar to our thunderstorms but
on a much larger scale."

That seem right fair, below, above;
But sure not one thing among
them all
Is half so sweet as love.

The majority of saxophone
players become bald-headed at a
comparatively early age. This is
also true of cornetists and all
others who play horns in dance
bands and symphony orchestras.
Why? Well sir, it is claimed the
physical strain of blowing the
horns affects the circulation and
deprives the roots of the hair of
their due supply of blood.
Bride
How much older than the
bride should the bridegroom be?
According to experts on the sub
ject the age of the bride should
be the age of the bridegroom di
vided by two, and seven added.
For example, if the bridegroom
is 36, the bride should be 25. If
the bridegroom is 32 the bride
should be 23. If the bridegroom
is 28, bride should be 21, and
so on.
Get It Right
Note it said the fashion of
squared shoulders on feminine
attire was launched by Marcel
Rochas of Paris. That's wrong.
That style was launched by Ed
die Schmidt of Beverly Hills,
Calif. The inspiration of the idea
was none other than Greta Gar
bo. Pointing at an overcoat de
signed JEor Jack Gilbert, she said
to Eddie Schmidt, "make me a
coat with shoulders like that."
So Eddie did. And Greta Garbo
was the first woman to feature
the "squared shoulders" attire,

Sidelights
Women born under Aries
(March 22-April 20) lack the gift
of simplification of attire. They
just can't seem to prevent look
ing overdressed. Or, so say the
stargazers.
Asidet
Are men more intelligent than
women? Research indicates that
men are 12 per cent more brainy
than women, but not as tricky

pily married for 25 years or
more agreed that the three most
important factors in successful
married life are cooperation,
children and cooking.

is the German shepherd,. Most
lovable, cocker spaniel. Most loy
al, airdale. Most mischievous,
French poodle. Most inclined to
be a one-man dog, chow. Friend
liest, dachshund. Makes most
trouble, picking fights, etc.,
wire-haired terrier. Best sense of
humor, springer spaniel. Hardest

San Francisco U.R) Mary
Millen, a swimming pool cashier,
noticed a long blue streak on
the side of a boy's leg Tuesday
as he climbed out of the water.
"How did you get that awful
bruise on your leg?" she asked.
"Nothing wrong with my leg,"
the boy said. "It's my fountain
pen. It leaks."
FATAL SCARE Gordon

and killed by John J. Klein,
71, father of the boy's 19-year-old
girl friend, Jean.
Klein said the boy refused to
leave their Buffalo, N. Y.,
home so he.tried to scare him
with a shotgun and fired
when he thought the boy had
a gun.
Volunteers Battle
North Carolina Fire
Swanquarter, N.C. (U.R)
State, military and volunteer
firefighters fought today to hold
the line against a huge, dang
erous forest blaze until expect
ed rains end its threat against
coastal villages.
The most fearsome advances
of what foresters believed to be
the biggest forest fire in modern
state history were halted, at least
temporarily, Tuesday night after
the monster blaze had ravaged
250,000 acres of coastal wilder
ness in one week.
Scores of Forest Rangers, vol
unteers and personnel from near
by Army, Marine and Coast
Guard bases helped check the'
threatening prongs of fire grop
ing toward the villages of Rose
Bay and Ponzer about eight
miles northwest of here. 1

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FITS
Measures in Oregon Legislature
Salem (U.R) A state build
ing program may be submitted
to the people at a special elec
tion, a meeting of the ways and
means subcommittee on build
ings has indicated here.
Sen. Rudie Wilhelm Jr. (R
Portland), chairman of the Sen
ate Tax Committee, already has
said there will "without doubt"
be a special election on revenue
measures.
Members of the subcommittee,
headed by Sen. John P. Houn
sell (R-Hood River) met with
members of the State Board of
Control and heard that the
board's $10,305,000 building
program comes in the "must"
category.
This is apart from the State
Board of Higher Education's $7,
000,000 building program.
Gov. Paul L. Patterson told
the subcommittee the board's
program is not for construction
in some new fields and includes
no frills.
Salem (U.R) A claim by
Sen. George Ulett (R-Coquille)
that the Oregon Development
Commission has done nothing
that Chambers of Commerce
could not do better has slowed
action on a bill that would ap
propriate $130,000 for the com
mission. The Joint Ways and Means
Committee has delayed vote on
a motion to approve the appro
priations bill and send it to the
House. Ulett said he would op
pose the bill because the commis
sion had not proved its worth.
Sen. John Merrifield (R-Port-land)
said the commission con
tained some of the best business
brains in the state and should be
given another two years of life
to show what it could do.
The committee approved a
bill that would authorize a
charge of 20 cents for inquiries
to the state license division for
names and addresses of car li
cense plate owners when those
inquiries come from cities and
25 cents when they came from
individuals. Receipts from the
charge would go toward support
of a statewide teletype grid for
law enforcement agencies..

Committee after the committee
received a letter of endorsement
from six county assessors.
The bill was defeated when
first sent to the floor but was
revived by a successful motion
to reconsider. In its amended
version, it removed the objec
tions of assessors and members
who claimed it would consti
tute an invasion by the state of
county prerogatives in hiring ap
praisers. Salem (U.R) A bill creating
an office of state labor concil
iator has been passed by the
House and sent to the Senate
with no dissenting votes. It was
a Democratic -sponsored meas
ure. The conciliator would be ap
pointed by the governor and
could enter into labor disputes
either at the request of the dis
puting parties or on his own
initiative. If his efforts at set
tling a dispute were fruitless, he
could then report the deadlock
to the governor who could acti
vate the machinery of the state
board of conciliation.
The House also approved a
compromise bill for the regula
tion by the State Highway Com
mission of roadside advertising.
It would permit the commission
to control advertising of high
way rights of way wifnin city
limits as well as in rural areas.
It would permit cities that have
been by-passed by express
routes to erect informative signs,
provided they conformed to com
mission standards, to divert traf
fic to their roadside businesses.
For the second time members
defeated a bill that would re
quire the game commission to
obtain permission of county
courts before acquiring lands for
public hunting grounds. Sup
porters said the bill would give
local control over creation of
state "empires."
Opponents said it would ham
per the commission's efforts to
provide better recreation facili
ties for the state's sportsmen.
Salem (U.R) A bill to allow
the Portland city council to
place on the ballot a tax meas
ure for the benefit of junior and
senior symphony orchestras
has been passed by the Senate
and sent to the House. It ap
plies only to cities of over 250,-000.
Salem U.R) Rep. William
Bradeen (R.-Burns) has intro
duced a bill in the House to pro

county of not less than 75 per
