Pay $1.59 a day and own a 1995 Buick, says one. Or buy a brand new home, no money down, 30 years to take care of the mortgage. A vacation? It you have a job your signature is enough to get you $500 cash for the holiday. Sending your son through col lege? You can do that on the cuff, too. Making Dreams Com True Those are some of the more colorful manifestations of a staggering splurge of buying on the installment plan. Thanks to the sign which reads "Buy Now, Pay Later," more and more . Americans are making their dreams come true by signing on the dotted line. They're doing it at a time when credit is the easiest In 10 years. The result: A record $24,000, 000,000 in installments credit piled up by the public. Add to that non-installment credit such as charge accounts and single payment loans, and total consu mer credit at the end of May mashed past $31,500,000,000. Ret Enough That is slightly more than all the money in circulation in the United States. It is also five times the installment debts in the year just before World War II. Back . of the record-toppling figures boil the production lines which are turning out the great--est flood of merchandise in the nation's history. Auto produc tion, for example, is at all-time peaks and it is estimated - that more than 80 per cent of the HOSE HAZARD Montville, Conn. (U.R) Firemen fighting a house blaze were hard pressed for water. They discovered a nearby pond and unrolled their lines across railroad .tracks and began pumping. Minutes later a freight train passed and cut the hose. The house burned down. CHURCH BELLS . Louisville, Ky. (U.R) Bells from 15 steam engines headed for the scrap pile have been pre sented by the Louisville & Nash ville Railroad to churches in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia. The railroad has donated 349 bells to churches along its lines since 1951. Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday; 10 a.m. Monday for Monday; other days 5:30 previous day. 1955 models were sold on the installment plan. This sort of thing makes the manufacturers happy but it wor ries some bankers and econo mists. Between March and May, they warn, some $1,200,000,000 was added to the buying power ' of consumers merely by the boost in installment credit. Banks Worried These funds were created by the banking system and do not reflect an actual increase in. sa vings or current income," ex plained one banker. "You want to encourage this in time of re cession but not in a boom period when it merely forces prices up. Of course we are not in this kind of boom yet, but the credit picture bears close watching." This astonishing ' American credit habit is beginning to take hold in Europe. Foreign coun tries long have balked at what they call the "never-never" sys tem of buying and they cling to such old-fashioned ideas as view ing a home mortgage is a sort of stigma. ' Now they are beginning to melt. Typical is Austria where you now can pay your dentist or even settle a traffic fine in easy payments. Science Seeking Pill To Control Alarming Fertility in Humans By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Scientists striving to give the human race simple and sure way of con trolling its prodigious and alarming fertility for exam ple, something as easy as taking an aspirin believe they are on the verge of success. They're talking very reluc tantly, when they talk at all, since no scientist wants to rouse false expectations. But this writer has been given good rea son for believing that several easy "aspirin tablet" ways which act on the fertility of animals, now are being tested very quietly and privately in human beings. Since fertility in whatever "biological system," whether an imal or vegetable, results from chemical processes, these scien tists are working : with chem icals which "antagonize" those processes. So far as experimental animals are concerned, a potent antagonizing chemical or chem icals is contained in a weed which grows in the Rocky Mountains. Weed Called 'Lithosperm' That this weed has anti-fertility properties is well known; indeed, it has come to be called "lithosperm" "litho". being a combining word form, meaning "stone." What is new and ex citing to investigating scientists is that science is very close to separating its anti-fertility chemical or chemicals from the i est. of the plant's many sub stances. When scientists can work with the pure,, unadulterated antag onist, it will be a simple matter to find how much of it is needed, and how often, to assure a posi tive result. The scientists then can learn to make it, to assure a cheap, unlimited supply. They are experimenting now with ex tracts which are heavily sat urated with the anti-fertility "factor," most probably in hu man beings as well as in ex perimental animals. Another far-advanced quest for "fertility control" is through the chemical maze which is the body's system of internally se creting glands. The pituitary glands secrete hormone-like sub stances, gonadotropins, which circulate with the blood and regulate stages in the fertility h's a good thing we mothers have CLOROXon our team makes linens mie mm white... it mm tfier nm r sssiesSTee scsf di eea wfleiw iilaiafy ay leeesifiee, . vita Oerex.

Here the idea is to introduce substances from the outside which would "antagonize" the gonadotrophins. Chemical sub stances such as those contained in lithosperm antagonize sperm atoza or ova the male and fe male germ cells after they've been made. The hormonal me thod would antagonize the ma king of them. A Terrifying Urgency The hormonal method is about to be tested in human beings, if indeed it isn't already being tested. It requires injections in its present stage of develop ment; the lithosperm method is by pills. Some scientists and groups place a terrifying urgency upon the finding of some easy, sure way of "controlling fertility" a method which would be acces sible and acceptable to the mas ses in such countries as India, Japan, Egypt, and Puera Rico and even in the United States, but with less urgency here. The Planned Parenthood Fedr eration, which has spent $300, 000 on the scientific search for such a way since 1948, put it this way: "The global need is to bring about a better balance between the fertility of the soil and the Thunder.

At least that's the opinion of Minnesota doctors who reported in a state medical association bulletin that the feet take abuse few other parts of the body have to take. . First, feet are not necessarily a "foot long." They stretch dur ing the day, becoming longer in the evening than they were in the morning. They are also longer when you walk on them than when you sit down. And they swell when- they're hot. The doctors said shoes should be purchased with an eye to this process of lengthening and swelling, and that alternating pairs of shoes also is a good idea. Cramming feet into shoes that don't fit, the bulletin warned, invites corns, bunions, hammer toes, fallen arches and flat feet. And, what's worse, a disposition to match. fertility of man. For every un dernourished person before World War II, there are now al most two . . . world population is growing at the rate of about 90,000 a day."

Two skin divers recovered the body of Earl M. Smith, 62, vic tim of a boating mishap which also killed Milo Thomson, 62- year-old river guide, and Aram Adams, 48, Bakersfield, Calif., auto dealer. Bodies of the two other vic tims were recovered June 28, the day following the accident which occurred when their boat broke up on rocks just below the mouth of the Blue river. The rubber - suited divers, Bobo Clingman and Jerry Lake, probably will collect a $500 re ward posted by Smith's widow and his brother, Charles Smith, of Turlock, Calif for recovery of the body. ments the law which has re quired producers to tag carcasses ' moved from the premises where slaughtered.
