o In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS There is a ruckus in Brazil. The situation as this is written is so badly befogged by censor ship that it is impossible to determine just what is happen ing or why. But it appears that there is a difference of opinion as to the seating of the president-elect who was chosen at a recent election. The army seems to be on one side, and the navy and the air force on the other. No shooting has been report ed as yet, but both sides are fingering their guns. "TklSILLUSIONING as our poli " tical processes in campaign years sometimes seem to be, they are better than the South American method. the people out of needed housing it's the Kremlin boys that are doing it. WHY the howl about it? " ' Here's a suspicious thought: There is complaint in Russia (even Krushchev himself ad mitted it) about too many guns and too little butter too much military hardware and too little housing, food and clothing. Even dictators can't afford too much dissatisfaction on the part of the people. When there is grumbling on the part of the people, the dic tators need an alibi and a whip ping boy. WHATS wrong in South America? And Central Amer ica? Basically, the trouble is that down there a few people have too much and a LOT of people have too little. The few have vast feudal estates and immense business holdings. The many have little more than a pair of cotton pants and a ragged shirt. History tells us that situations like that have "always been trouble breeders. rjISTURBING thought: Maybe we've been think jng too much and doing too much about Europe and Asia and all the far places of the world and thinking too little and doing too little about the Western Hemisphere. T SUPPOSE you must have read the other day about the four top Russian architects that cgot fired. The Kremlin accused them of wasting money on or nate decoration and skyscrapers and disregarding the needs of the "people" for housing. That has a phony sound. For example: Who builds Russia's skyscrap ers and such with their costly ornate decor? Why. 'it's the SOVIET GOV ERNMENT. In socialist Russia, private investors don't do such things. JO Co- Probably The Kremlin boys got togeth er and decided "ornate decora tion and skyscrapers" would be their alibi and the architects would be their whipping boys. 'PHIS word in conclusion: Among the four fired archi tects is one Alexander Vlasov, who is now in this country in specting home building in the United States. He is a chain smoker. When he got the word that he was fired, he was obvi ously worried and began smok ing furiously, lighting one ciga rette after another and tossing them away half smoked. No wonder he is worried. If and when he gets back to Russia he is apt to be stood up before, a wall and shot as an enemy of the people. That would put the blame on him. It would take the blame off the Kremlin boys. That's the way Communism works. Money Collection Hobby Backfires Newark, N. J. (U.R) Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dvorin's hobby of collecting money has back fired. For years Dvorin stuffed an extra $1 or S5 he didn't need into an old two-gallon whiskey bottle. Mrs. Dvorin dropped in pennies, nickles, dimes and quar ters. When they collected two gallons of money they put it in their bedroom closet. A burglar broke open their If money Is being wasted j locked closet and stole $2,000 in in Russia on "ornate decoration change and S3, 000 in small bills and skyscrapers" thus gypping sometime during, the week end.

The worms are a variety of the round worm, "Toxocara Ca nis," of whose intimate relation ship with dogs there is no doubt. Indeed, their life cycles are nothing more or less than cycles through the bodies of dogs. It has been generally believed that "Toxocara Canis" found the human body was so inhospitable that its young could not mature therein and so use it for the end less cyclings of its generations. Medical science has now pro duced proof that while the lar- Isolation of sick livestock pre- vae or loxocara Cams don't ma- vents the spread of disease to ture in human beings, they will other livestock and makes the "migrate" to the liver and even cleanup of , an infected area to the brain where the human easier. tissues immobilize them by forming "capsules" around them. Symptoms Puzzle Doctors Thus, we have a new disease, "visceral larvae migrams" or, rather, the explanation of a very old one whose bizarre symptoms have been puzzling doctors for years. As a matter of fact, they still do since the American Academy of General Practice is taking pains to inform all doc tors of this newly unveiled od dity of nature. Fortunately, the disease is self-limiting and not too serious. Dr. Hugh Gullatt had assem bled the odds and ends of the proof from a variety of "case re ports," and they added up. In sandy soils, especially those which are warm the year-round, the eggs of dog round worms flourish if there are dogs around. Potential Dirt-Eaters "Children from 18 months to three years of age are consid ered by most pediatricians to be potential, dirt eaters," Dr. Gul latt pointed out. The eggs hatch into larvae in human-beings and the larvae migrate. "The recognition of this dis ease, proves that dog round worms are far from harmless," said Dr. Gullatt. "Every effort should be made to rid household pets at regular intervals of their intestinal parasites." Meanwhile, visceral larvae migrams "should be suspected in all children of the dirt-eating age," who are strangely but not seriously ill and whose blood shows a high and constant level of eosinophil cells which seems to have no explanation. Monday. November 14, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE On The Side by e. V. Durling (Distributed by King Fairura Syndicate. Inc.) Red haired women are nat ural born actresses. If they don't act professionally they exercise their histrionic talents in vari ous ways in their private lives. As for example, the ' redheads use their acting ability to lure some trusting young fellow into matrimony. After marriage they skillfully stage scenes to get their way with their husbands. And so on. Incidentally, a 22-year-old redhead named Mel Dowd recently became a star overnight because of her por trayal of Lady Macbeth. Con firming the contention that the red haired females are natural born actresses, Miss Dowd had never been on the stage before. According to one critic, her pow erful performance depicted Mac Beth's wife as a "tigress, bold, unscrupulous and clever." By the way, how old was Lady MacBeth at the time of the Duncan murder case? Did Shakespeare say? Horses and Women Do you know why women wear tight shoes? So tight that they have to take them off in the theater and other places where they pause for a rest. Also, do you know why women wear silly. hats and feature ri diculous hair-dos? It is because their sales resistance is weak. It is especially weak when the seller is a handsome gentleman. That is what a number of fem inine subscribers claim. They say the shoe salesmen convince them they should wear shoes that make the feet look smaller. Millinery saleswomen overpow er the customers with flattery. Male hairdressers pay, no atten tion to what sort of hair-do a woman wants. They give her what they think she should have. And so it goes. Husbands should accompany wives shop ping for shoes or hats or having a hair-do. Can't you just see a husband arguing with a male hairdresser named Antoine or Pierre about the kind of hair-do a wife should have? Get Ii Right "At last, a film that is better than the stage play on which it is based." That is what a critic says about the film titled "Sum mertime," starring Katharine Hepburn, which is based on the play called "The Time of the Cuckoo," starring Shirley Booth. What does the man mean by "at last"? Why, sir, there have been innumerable films better than the play on which they were based. Consider the film titled "The Miracle Man," fea turing Tom Meighan, Betty Compton and Lon Chaney. That was one of the greatest of silent films. It was based on a play that was practically a flop.
