But the 'price of brides in other lands is running into a lot of moola. The Nation al Geographic Society, which knows a little or more about everything, has circled the acres of the Herman Nichol earth and has come up with some very inter esting statistics.

Half a century ago a tall lushy Ibo girl cost only $50, and an old hawk could1 be bought for as little as three goats. But as of now, according to the latest survey, an ordinary Ibo gal is a bargain at $300, and if you want one with some kind 'of learning the price runs as high as $840. , I guess us American gents have it pretty nice.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Bureau of Land Management officials estimate that they will be unable to open up salvage timber in the Smith river for sale until mid-summer of next year, due to delays an ticipated in completion of access roads. BLM had expected to, put up 20,000,000 board feet for sale next spring in the Spencer creek area where a new 3.5 mile ac cess road is under construction. But completion of that road, originally slated for this com ing November, has now been set back to October, 1956, according to -the head office of BLM here. One section of the Smith river road has been completed, they reported, but sections A and B will not be finished until next July. One section of the west fork of Smith river road is due for completion in November this year, but section B won't be ready for use until October, 1956. The Smith river and Spencer creek roads all offer access to timber in Southcoast Marketing area, mainly for mills in the Coos Bay and Reedsport area. This new schedule of road com pletion dates outlined by BLM will determine the availability of timber for mills in Lane and Douglas county, in the event Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay permits their operators to go across marketing area boundaries for logs as they de sire. . , Siuslaw Road Set Back The Esmond creek road, which will offer access to Siuslaw area timber for mills in the Eu gene area, has been set back a year on the road completion schedule. It was due to be fin ished in November. Now, BLM said, it will not be ready for use until October, 1956. Another road giving access to both the Siuslaw and Southcoast areas has been delayed. "It is the 20.7 mile Twin Sisters road, which is due for completion in November, 1956, instead of next July. The Siuslaw river road is to be finished in October, 1956. BLM officials said they were unable to explain the new road schedule, having received it only this past Friday from the Port land regional office without any detailed reasons for its changes. Awaiting Data. Meanwhile, BLM officials here were awaiting data from the Portland office pertaining to the current squabble over whether marketing area 'restrictions should be lifted to permit mills from other areas to compete for timber sold in the salvage oper ations in northwest Douglas county. No recommendation to Secre tary McKay in the matter is ex pected to be submitted until this information has come in from the field. BLM Administrator Edward Woozley estimated Mc Kay would have a decision in the case by the end of the week. Complaints Checked On Capitol Hill, a Senate in vestigator just back from Oregon was understood to be preparing a report on the problem, contain ing recommendations for remed ial action. Robert Wolf, a form er BLM forester now employed by the U.S. Government Account ing office but presently on loan to the Senate Interior Commit tee, was sent to Oregon to check into complaints from independ ent loggers who want access to the salvage timber. Committee staff members and Woozley have conferred' on the problem, with the BLM director promising to supply data on the WRONG HOTEL Denver (U.R) Sam .

PLANT GROWS AND GROWS Deal, England (U.R) Joe Goodban said today he should never have picked up and plant ed the odd looking fruit he found on the beach. The plant grew and grew and now is more than 100 feet long. Experts said it apparently is a tropical plant which was carried by ocean cur rents from Africa. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood U.R) Bob Hope, the globe-trotting comedian who has quipped his way into nearly every country of the world, max visit Russia, he said today. With rela tions between the U.S. and Russia appar ently easier, a plot is afoot Aline Mosby for Hope to invate Moscow, armed with gag writers. I He leaves for London Nov. 17 to star with Katherine Hapburn inhis first foreign-made picture, produced by England's 'Betty Box: " A Russian Girl The story is about an army captain and a Russian girl he is assigned to keep an eye on. The English moviemakers are trying to clear a location jaunt to the USSR the first time Hollywood stars would visit that country in recent years. "Sure, I'd like to go if it's cleared I'll go any place," said Hope between rehearsals for an other picture at Paramount Stu dio. "Maybe we should send 'Com rade' Hilton," he grinned. "Of course," he added, "I may be held over for some of the things I've said about Russia." The recent Geneva conference may have changed the course of politics, and it also changed the ending of Hope's movie. In the comedy, Miss Hepburn is arrest ed by Soviet agents and taken back to Russia. But the ending was changed so the agents, not Miss Hepburn, are sent to Si beria for making a mistake. Meanwhile, Hope begins his 19th year at Paramount ' on a new film, "That Old Feeling." Until "Seven Little Boys," his movies were mostly gags chain stitched together. Now he is not only working in a film version of a Broadway play (called "King of Hearts" on the stage,) but co starring with last year's Oscar winner, Eva Marie Saint. "Every comedian needs a change of pace," he said. "I'm going in more for a legit story and a sympathetic character. USSR Comedians "My television ' show is a change this year, too. Beginning Tuesday, I'll do eight shows one musical, one book show, and the rest revues. You have to mix it up. The public can't catch you doing the same thing twice." He hopes to meet some comics in Russia if and when his Eng lish movie goes on location there. "They must have Russian com edians,", he reflected, "or else where does Gregory Ratoff come from?" Registering Complaints Found No Longer Crime, Gloria Swanson Asserts By GLORIA SWANSON Written For United Press Paris U.R) Complaining, making one's dissatisfaction, seems to be a crime these days. Apparently one is supposed to grin and bear it. In other words, if there is a fly in your soup- don't mention it. Or if you have been short changed look the other way. If you don't get the service you have paid through the nose for, you must still give a large tip so "somebody's" feelings won't get hurt. - Is this because we're sissies or haven't the courage of our con victions? Q u I'll tell you something that is no longer a secret: I'm not a sissy and I do have the courage of my convictions. If I am dis satisfied, I grumble about it. Not to every Tom, Dick and Harry but to the right person the one who can rectify it. Right Person Sometimes that is the person who is at fault and sometimes that is the person running a bus iness. But none of his yes-men will tell him that his business is going to pot because the good will has gone out of it or the quality of the product has drop ped or the perfection of the ser vice has been replaced by me diocrity.

She had just stopped looking for it when a young man walked up to the stand with an earring on his finger.

You won't feel so badly about doing this if, when the oppor tunity arises, you praise In turn, contributing the same amount of thought, time and energy. High Praise Recently I wrote a letter to the head of a beauty shop chain -mentioning one of his girls as being the finest manicurist I'd found in all my travels and sent a copy to the girl in ques tion. Since the war, I sincerely be lieve we have continued to be compromisers. Our country' greatness came from our effic iency and high standards. We must not compromise this for mediocrity even though a person who does a bad job can get paid as much as one who doe) a good one. NOTICE! GIRARDIAN INSURANCE CO.
