In a Brussels trial, the defend
ant, a man. had three women
lawyers. One blonde and two
brunettes. This inspires the ques
tion as to how an all-woman jury
reacts to the plea of a feminine
lawyer. Also which are the best
women lawyers, blondes or brun
ettes? How about the red-haired
legal lights? I would like to see

So They Say
Aries (March 21-April 20) wom
en are wild about dancing. When
the music starts they can't keep
still. At home they will fox trot
with a broom to the tune of re
cordings or the radio. The theme
song of Aries wives is"Papa won"t
you dance with me." Next to
wanting a husband who may buy
her a mink coat, the Aries girl
wantsonewho will take her danc
ing at least twice a week. Gem
ini (May 22-June 21) females are
excessivley active. Always fuss
ing around. The most trivial de
tail of home management throws
them into a frenzy. Gemini wom
en drive husbands who like to
relax wild and cause them to re
tire to their dens or go out to
the neighborhood pub in search
of a little peace and quiet. Or so
say the stargazers.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. So
you are a student of percentage
and the law of probabilities. If I
offered to bet it would rain in
New York City on your birthday
in July, 1957, what odds would
you give me that it wouldn't? A.
Two and a half to one. Q. Has
Kate Smith ever used any other
professional name during her
career as an entertainer? A. Yes,
sir. In the beginning Kate was
a comedienne and was billed as
"Tiny Litl'e." When she aban
doned the comedy angle and
concentrated o n singing she
started using her real name
which is Kathryn Elizabeth
Smith.
Says She
"That scale of tips for hair
dressers you quoted is all out of
line," writes a Boston beauty
shop operator. "So is the assump
tion that women are good tip
pers. They are outrageously bad
tippers. For example, a perm, a
three-hour job usually nets us a
quarter tip. Same for a color job.
Skilled hairdressers are paid $10
a day. Nothing for overtime. If
absent because of sickness they
don't get paid.
Let's get this settled. Who is
Aviation Brigade
Completes Night
Training Problem
The 517th Engineer Aviation
Brigade, which is undergoing
two weeks summer field training
at Yakima Firing Center, Wash.,
completed an overnight field
problem yesterday. The camp
will finish its summer training
Saturday.
The 417lh, made up of officers
and men from Ashland, Grants
Pass, and Medford, as well as
other Rogue valley communities,
has 32 officers and men at the
camp.
Members of other units, in
cluding three men from Klam
ath Falls, whose unit is not at
tending camp this year, brings
the overall total to 155 officers
and men.
Headquarters in Medford
Units making up the 417th are
from Oregon, Washington and
Idaho. The brigade is headquar
tered at Medford, and is com
manded by Col. William H.
Prentice, a California Oregon
Power company official.
The reservists performed var
ious engineering projects around
th Firing Center before going on
the field problem. The projects
are actual jobs which the post
engineer has been doing to im
prove the post.
Two projects are being carried
out by the 255th Engineer Bat
talion made up of men from Sa
lem, Coos Bay and the Vancouver-Portland
areas. Another proj
ect has been worked on by the
453rd Engineering Battalion of
Pullman and Spokane. Other
units having projects are the
455th Engineer Aviation com
pany, of Olympia, Wash., and the
442nd Transportation Battalion
from Eugene.

OLDEST TWINST
Great Bend, Kan. (U.P.) Mrs.
Amelia Sandman Essmiller of
Great Bend and Mrs. Adelia
Sandman Bratberg of Holman,
Wis., both widows, believe they
are the nation's oldest twins.
They are 95.
the oldest practicing physician
in the United States? My nomina
tion is Dr. John Sturgeon, Un
iontown. Pa., who is 102 and still
going strong. Incidentally, Dr.
-Sturgeon has ushered over 4,000
infants Into the world. That may
also be a record.
Food
Which are most expensive In
your section, iamb chops or veal
cutlets. In New York lamb is de
creasing is popularity. Veal is
increasing. So lamb chops are
$1.29 a pound. Veal cutlets $1.35
a pound. I favor veal cutlets.
Breaded veal cutlet with a lit
tle spaghetti on the side.
Breeding
Mrs. John D. Hertz, breeder of
many celebrated thoroughbreds,
says the mare is of 70 per cent
importance in a breeding regard
less of who the sire is. As I have
previously said, a similar situa
tion is claimed to exist in hu
man. The mother is most impor
tant. However, whether or not
she is as high as 70 per cent im
portant, I cannot say.
Is That So?
Apart from the violent abuses
man has inflicted upon man in
northern Siberia, it is a most
amazing land. And in today's
mail, I received a letter from
Alexander Zoueff, a New York
engineer, who knows this little
known region very well. During
this hot spell of summer, he tells
of ice that forms in the bottom
of rivers and lifts rocks to the
surface.
"I was born in Irkutsk, the
capital of Siberia, near Lake
Baikal," writes Zoeff. "During
8-1-56
my boyhood I used to visit and
swim in this lake many times.
Later I became a member of an
exploration staff in Eastern Si
beria and during my last year
in that country I was in charge
of a small expedition.
From his unpublished manu
script, he quotes: Baikal, the
sacred sea of Siberia, is more
than one mile deep making it
the deepest lake in the world.
This huge lake, largest fresh
water lake in Asia, is 400 miles
long and from 20 to 40 miles
wide. v
The water is famous for its
color and transparency: shore
bottom can be seen clearly 140
feet deep. On clear summer days
the mountains surrounding, the
lake shine with their snow
covered summits, making a
grand panorama reflected in the
clear waters.
Flora and fauna are many and
varied: there are 1.800 different
forms of life in Baikal, many
found nowhere else. One curious
oily fish, Golomyanka, is almost
completely transparent. No one
ever saw this fish alive, as it
lives deep down and is thrown
out on the shore in great quanti
ties by storms. If left on shore,
the sun's rays melt most of this
fish. It is not edible but is used
for machine oil. There are stur
geons also.
But even stranger, many seals
live in this fresh - water lake
which is thousands of miles from
both Arctic and Pacific oceans
How they got thehre, no one
knows but it is believed they
have been there millions of
years.
One River Flows Out
Although 300 rivers and creeks
flow into Baikal only one, the
Angara flows out of it. It floods
in late fall instead of spring
and then a curious thing may
happen: ice forms at the bottom
of the river first on the stones
and then floats up to the sur
face lifting the stones with it.
As for Lake Baikal, it often
freezes as smooth as a mirror.
The strong winds may carry an
inexperienced man or a horse
with a sledge for several miles
without stop on its slick surface.
During cold spells the shrink
ing ice sometimes cracks, mak
ing a sharp report like the crack
of a pistol shot.
The coldest temperature ever
By EUGENE BURNS
Ranger-Naturalist
recorded in the world is at Verk
hoyansk, a village on the Yana
river. The all-time low was -90
degrees Fahrenheit, w-hich is 122
degrees below freezing! Brrrr!
Here in this "pole of cold"
trees are sometimes frozen so
hard that when a branch is
struck it may break like glass or
when the trunk of a tree is hit
with an ax, it may give off a
shower of sparks. The air is so
still and it Is so quiet, adds Engi
neer Zoeff, that the crunching of
a sled can be heard two miles
away. During very cold nights, a
faint but continuous rustle is
heard natives call it "the
whisper of the star."
Oftentimes the ice of the riv
ers is so .strong and deep that
railroad tracks, during emer
gencies, can be put on it and it
will support loaded trains!
Gold in Siberia
There is gold in Siberia the
richest gold mines being in the
Lena river basin. "Strikes" in
the upper Aldan river are com
parable to those of the Klondike
in America.
. Ivory tusks of many mam
moths have been found in north
ern Siberia and for many years
a thriving business was conduct
ed in this ivory. In addition to
tusks, one perfectly preserved
specimen including bones,
flesh and even the undigested
contents of its stomach was
found in 1901.
Animals now living include
the Siberian tiger perhaps the
world's biggest and most fero
cious cat, panthers, leopards, po
lar bears, polar foxes, wolves
and seals. ,
For some curious reason the
natives of northern Siberia called
Yakuts, speak a language similar
to Turkish.
In conclusion, Mr.' Zoueff
gives us a pleasant word of this
land: during the short summers
of northern Siberia, there are
many colorful flowers and good
tasting berries, some being very
fragrant, growing in great abun
dance.

Sweetland, Hatfield Tells Views on Office
Portland (U.R) Democrat
ic Monroe Sweetland and ' Re
publican Mark Hatfield, candi
dates for secretary of state, yes
terday presented their views on
qualifications for the office.
Speaking at a noon luncheon
of the Junior Chamber of Com
merce. Hatfield said he was a
firm believer in the "Little
Hoover commission," which was
set up to reorganize the state
government on more efficient
lines. He said he also was inter
ested in reapportionment of the
Legislature to provide true rep
resentation of the people.
Sweetland cited his adminis

experience, as qualifications. As
publisher of a weekly newspa
per, the Milwaukie Review, he
said he "knew what it was to
meet a payroll every Friday."
Sweetland added that he and
Hatfield have similar legisla
tive careers, each entering tht
Legislature at the same time.
