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

'Visceral Larvae Migrams' Found
In Children of Dirt-Eafing Age
By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) Once more
proof that nature seldom is as
simple as she seems is a newly
discovered an intimate relation
ship among dogs, worms, and
very young human beings of the
"dirt-eating age."
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-

ture in human beings, they will other livestock and makes the

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.

On The Side by e.

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.
