If even slightly superstitious the man elected president of the United States in 1960 will have ' something besides the cares of office to worry about.

In the 1853 running three horses were killed. The deaths of these horses inspired the organizing of that British group called "The Society Opposed To Cruel Sports." Guide To Guys Aquarian (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) males have a preference for girls who are not easily conquered. Or as the saying goes, "Hard To Get." They prefer to pursue ra ther than be pursued. Most Aqu arians are successful. Many be come famous. A woman who marries a man of that sign stands a chance of being relegated to the background, of living in re flected Blory. Or so sav the utar- gazers. (Note: Men born under Aquarius include Abraham Lin coln, Lord Byron; Robert Burns, F. D. Roosevelt.' Charles Dickons Henry Irving, Thomas Edison, canaries .Darwin, Seymour Berk son, Jack Benney, Garet Gar rett, Jimmy Durante, Ronald Colman, Adqlphe Menjou and Edgar Bergen.) Please Note It was that distinguished pro ducer of innumerable successful stage Dlavs. Charles Frohman. who observed: "All great plays are written backwards because every great play is a solution of some human problem." . . . .All football stadiums, baseball parks and race tracks should have escalators to aid the patrons in reaching the right spots in the stands. This would be very ef fective assistance in battling the nation's number one killer, heart disease. Percentage An extensive check revealed the jackpot on a "One Arm Ban dit" machine turns up once in every 2,667 times. The house take on such machines is 25 per cent and up. The house take on craps is around one and one quarter per cent. Incidentally, the gambling casino at Monte Carlo, Monaco, has only two craps tables but features a large bat tery of "One Arm Bandit" slot machines. Psychiatrists There is a higher percentage per population of Psychiatrists in Beverly Hills, Calif., and en virons than in any other section of the world. One of the most popular of these practitioners is a beautiful blonde. She has both men and women patients. It is said patients are strongly, in clined to fall in love with their Psychiatrists. May be nothing to this. However, we suggest fem i n i n e subscribers completely check the situation before per mitting their husbands to con sult a beautiful blonde, or even a brunette, Psychiatrist. Briefly Abraham Lincoln originated the practice of referring to a wife as "The Little Woman" when he so referred to his mate in a political speech. . .Note it said "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunters?"

MOLER United Press Correspondent Hurricane, Utah (U.R) A semi public showing: of SMART, America's fastest "race track," is planned for late this month on Hurricane Mesa, just west of colorful Zion National Park. SMART stands for Supersonic Military Air Research Track. Objective of the 12,000-foot long track and its rocket-propelled sleds is to perfect ways for crews of America's super sonic airplanes to survive emer gency bailouts while flying high and fast. Civilian contractors turned the test track over to the govern ment last summer, but military security has veiled operations since and nothing has been made public on performance of the $2,000,000 facility. However, the Air Research and Development Center at Baltimore, Md., . operator of SMART, and the Coleman En gineering Co. of Los Angeles, the civilian contractor, have set up a limited tour of the project for newsmen on May 25 to pro vide a first-hand account of its operations. Two Sleds Propelled If the track is operating ac cording to original plans, the press, radio and television re porters and cameramen should see a spectacular demonstration. Slate Fisheries Funds in Jeopardy, Neuberger Claims Washington (U.R) Sen. Richard Neubereer (D-Ore. said yesterday that Oregon is in dan ger of losuig federal funds ap propriated for the restoration of salmon runs on the lower CO- lumhia river and accused Gov, Elmo Smith and the Oregon Fish commission of placing the lea- eral aid in ieonardy. Neuberger said that at a re- ppnt hearing on the Columbia fish program senators were crit ical of the lack of action taken by the state to carry out its end of the bargain. Money Net Used Sen. Allen Ellender of Louis iana, chairman of the public works appropriations subcomit tpp. said thatfcv the end of June, $500,000 of the amount appropri ated hv Congress for restoration of the salmon runs will not be used, Neuberger said. "The loneer vou delay this thing the more it is going to cost. Maybe if Congress cut it a little bit, we might wake them up. I would like to serve notice on them right now, as chairman of this committee, that if you come here next year with an unobli gated balance, I guarantee you we will cut it back," Neuberger quoted Ellender as saying. Land Difficulties Told William Hagen, Jr., assistant chief of the Game-Fish and TTateheries branch of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife service, told the meeting that the Oregon a isa rnmmission has not been able to obligate it money rapidly en ough because they had land dif ficulties and in procurement of engineers. "There is no valid excuse for this inability of Oregon to live up tn it nWi nations under the Fed eral-State Cooperative project," Neuberger commented. Neubereer Dlaced the blame on Gov. Smith, saying that the gov ernor in the past naa not Deen an advocate of conservation and evidently is indifferent to the situation. Litigation Causes Delays In Portland. M. T. Hoy. state fisheries director, said the state was moving as fast as it was aDie to meet its obligations to federal agencies. He said there had beep. numerous delays caused by pro tracted court litigation over fish suits to condemn property for hatchery construc tion. One such case, in fciooa uv sr eountv. was delayed for months because of a missing heir, Hoy said. About 99 per cent of the U. S. tobacco crop moves to market by truck, in addition to 97 per cent of the milk, 96 per cent of poul try, eggs and cotton, and 91 per cent of grain. Europe consumes more wheat than it can produce. Broadway in 80 years." How about that play titled "Six Char acters In Search of An Author?" Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport They will see a nair nt hiohlir polished steel tracks, . six-feet, eight-inches apart, that have been placed precisely level on concrete pedestals marching more than two miles through a clearing on the top of Hurricane Mesa. At the edge of the clearing are 28 towers where high-speed cameras record progress of the experiments. At the north end is a rein forced concrete "blockhouse" where project directors, protect ed from the intense heat of the rocket blasts, operate controls. A director's signal ,fblast off' the rockets. Two sleds, riding the greased rails on. slipper-like "shoes," are propelled down the track at a speed designers hoped would exceed 1,500 miles an hour, more than twice the speed of sound at this altitude. When the sleds reach the south end 'of the mesa, a projection from the underneath side of the rear "pusher" carriage splashes into a water troueh that serves as a braking device to bring it to an abrupt halt. As the "pusher" stoDs. the for ward sled receives another rock et blast according to specifica tions and leaps over the edge of the mesa. At the same time, a projectile simulating that car ried by aircraft "ejects" the test capsule carrfed on the sled. No Passengers on Sleds Both the capsule and the for ward sled are lowered by para chute to landing mats at the base of the mesa, 1,500 feet be low the rimrock edge, and onto the desert between Hurricane Mesa and the meandering Virgin river. Arrangements have been made to stop traffic on the highway from Hurricane to Zion Park while the experiments are in progress to avoid having some of the .devices land on passing cars of park-bound tourists. The Air Force, in setting up SMART, said that at no time would humans be carried in the sleds but the "cargo" would be confined to instruments and dummies. At a similar, "slower" track in New Mexico, Lt.'Col. John P. Stapp late In 1954 rode a rocket sled at a speed of 632 miles an hour, the fastest man has ever traveled on the ground. An un manned sled on the Navy's track at China Lake, Calif., has at tained 'an announced speed of 1,280 mph. The Utah project was tet up for research into problems en countered by airmen in leaving their war planes while traveling at supersonic speeds. Few pilots have survived such bail outs with current "ejection seat" equipment. DON'T FORGET .
