Inventions Make Life Simpler,
Sweeter and More Expensive
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Prtu Correspondent
New York U.P; You may be
taking a vacation, but the people
who work at making your life
limpler. better designed, tweet
er smelling and more expensive
never seem to stop.
Reports on only 10 days of
such progress piled up on this
desk during a recent vacation
a sloping, sliding hill of fat en
velopes filled with triumphant
announcements
A perfume company is ready
to start scenting women's bank
checks. The sweet -smelling
check enclosed with that an
nouncement proved it can be
done.
Somebody thought up a comb
w ith flexible teeth. It adjusts to
lit your head.
A company that makes pot
holders and dish cloths hired
the man who founded the Na
tional Society of Decorative De
signers to style their products
A pot holder should be a thing
of well-designed beauty, the
company reports.
Christian Dior set to work on
the pot shape in hats and came
up with a square bowl. The
down-turned cloche brims that
have covered our foreheads for
the past couple of seasons should
continue, the French designer
decreed.
Another Frenchman did the
impossible. He patented a dining
table on which dishes appear
and disappear without being
touched by human hands. The
table is equipped with a moving
conveyor belt. Press a button
and a place setting moves in
front of you. Press another but
ton and it moves on to a com
partment under the table where
the dishes are washed, dried and
polished. You still have to carry
the food to the table from the
atove.
The first American-made rugs
to be mothproofed will be in
stores this fall, one fat envelope
proclaimed. The mothproofing
process also will be included in
some children's sweaters.
Men now can wear plastic golf
shoes and dacron hats. The hats
are strawlike and sturdy and the
shoes are expensive and color
ful. Dieters now have a new low-

calory bread and non-fattening
ice cream cones. The cones are
made of dextran instead of
sugar.
Know Your Way
Then there are the belts for
girls who like to know where
they're going. The buckles are
equipped with authentic com
passes, and back-to-school dress
es for girls who prefer to keep
track of where they've been.
Small diaries dangle from the
belts.
In case some inventive brain
isn't already at work at this, we
have analyzed this 10-day pile
of progress reports and come up
with a suggestion which ties in
with several of the develop
ments. It is an invention for
dieters v.ho buy the' French
man's automatic dining table.
Just build a set of scales into
a dining room chair seat. The
diner could set them at his de
sired weight. When he had eaten
his quota, the scales would auto
matically release the conveyor
belt button and the food would
move away from him and disap
pear under the table.

Native of India
Discusses Impact
Of English Rule
Ashland Dr. Eddy Asirva
tham, lecturer from Madras, In
dia, spoke to an assembly of
townspeople and students
Wednesday morning at South
ern Oregon College.
His topic. "A Birdscye View of
India," contained a brief refer
ence to India's history from
3.000 B.C until the present with
the greater emphasis placed
upon the years from 1947 when
India gained her complete inde
pendence until the present.
Dr. Asirvatham observed that
a number of both good and bad
results were apparent when con
sidering the impact of England's
rule upon his country. He cited
the fact that the elimination of
great famines was good; that 34 -000
miles of railroads were built
by the British; a knowledge of
the English language was im
parted to the upper classes; a
parliamentary system of govern
ment was instituted; and a large
measure of law and order was
brought to the country.
As negative results under
British rule, he listed: A loss of
manliness, courage, and national
self-respect; that the British had
failed to solve the dual problem
of poverty and mass educatic
and the problem of mass ill
health was virtually neglected.
In support of the latter con
tention, Dr. Asirvatham said
that even now nearly one hun
dred million of his countrymen
suffered from malaria each year
and that more than two million
a year would die from this de
bilitating disease. Tuberculosis
alone claims one-half million
lives each year.
He declared that India was
making giant strides in combat
ing hunger and disease, saying
that since 1947 after taking over
from the British, the average
life expectancy had risen from
26 to 33 years.
The current foreign policy of
India, according to Dr. Asirva
tham, is that of independent neu
trality serving as a bridge be
tween East and West in the pro
motion of universal peace. He
stressed the current friendliness
between India and the British
as an example of peaceful rela
tionships between conqueror and
conquered brought about by rel
atively peaceful means.
In conclusion, he expressed
the view that India would like
to see a situation come about
where there would be. "One
World with One Destiny."

Lard Best for Crust
Says Food Specialist
Urbana, 111. (UP.) For pies
like "mother used to make," use
lard, Geraldine Acker, Univer
sity of Illinois foods specialist,
advises.
Miss Acker says lard has high
er shortening properties and
makes flakier crusts than other
types of shortening. She says a
standard pie crust reciDe calls
for M cup of lard to 1 cup of
flour, while other types of short
ening must be uspri in a ratin rtf
.-4 cup for each cup of flour to
obtain the same result.
Researchers Begin
On Packaging Study
For Dairy Industry
Ithaca, N.Y. ftl.R) A new
packaging method soon may be
saving money for milk and food
processors and for housewives,
too.
Dairy industry researchers at
Cornell University have begun
tests on a new and cheaper pack
aging method in whlcii one ma
chine combines the production
and filling of plastic -coated
paper containers. The machine
can turn out as many as 70 com
plete packages a minute.
The packages are pyramid-
shaped and are formed by the
machine from a single roll of
paper. The forming, filling, seal
ing, and counting of the pack
ages is all done automatically.
