DOES HE COME TO LIFE.' On The Side v E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Futures Syndicate. Inc.) Thir are too many loud voiced band canaries whose ren ditions of popular songs vehe mently assault the cars ot me listeners. It is auite evident tnai these excessively vivacious fe males are selected for their shapes and ability to wear low cut gowns rather man ineir voices. A sad situation. Give me a singer with a low throaty voice such as Helen Morgan had. Or similar to that possessed bv Libbv Holman, Lucicnne Boyer or Suzy Solidor. And I will care not what kind of a shape she has. After all. what difference does that make on a recording? Baldhaads There is a higher percentage of bald-headed men in Italy than .in any other country in the world. So it is not surprising that the world's largest associa tion of bald-headed men is in Italy. Of this organization Pres ident Eisenhower is an honorary member. The Italian group an nually names a member "bald head of the year." A man with a well polished pate usually wins. Incidentally, there is an asso ciation of bald-headed men in Baltimore which meets every month. Pleas Not The political party figured to be m certain winner in the next United States presidential elec tion could lose if even a small portion of its members fail to ovote. In the Argentine voting is compulsory. Those ' failing to vote are fined. There should be a similar law in this country. Sidelights Are you a Chinese food fan? Do you know the difference be tween the Cantonese. Peking. Shanghai and Chungking cui sines? There is a restaurant in New York that offers a choice of the four. . . . Has any ring man yet been nicknamed "Rock and Roll"? That could be a very effective monicker. As for ex ample "Rock and Roll" Reilly. Asking Queries from clients. Q. What was the first radio broadcasting station in the world? A. KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pa., which began broadcasting on March 2, 1920 starting off with the Harding Cox presidential election re turns. Q. Was George Gershwin, the composer, ever in vaude- ville? A. George was for a pe riod in vaudeville as an accom panist for Nora Bayes. Q. I claim Ward McAllister, the New York society figure who coined the term "the four hundred." was from San Francisco. Right? A. Wrong, sir. He was from Savannah, Ga. However, he had a brother who was a successful San Francisco lawyer. Passing By Ruth English. Distinguished designer. Specializes in wedding gowns, for which white is still the preferred color. Mary Queen of Scots was the first bride to wear a white wedding gown. Before that the brides wore red. I recently received a photograph in color of a Baltimore wedding in which the bride wore white and the bridesmaids wore red. The effect was spectacular. Asides Am informed that the River Downs race track, Cincinnati, Ohio, offers a S3 across the bosrd mutuel ticket. . . . Am asked who first said, "There is a sucker born every minute." Couldn't say. It has been erro neously credited to P. T. Bar num. As for the crack, "Never give a sucker an even break." that was originated by W. C. Fields. Lova - What is love? It was Marie Corelli, an expert on the subject who said, "If I loved a man I should love him so completely that I should never think of anything in which he had not the first and greatest share. I should .see his kind looks in every ray of sunshine. I should hear his loving voice in every Hiroshima Recalls Alom Bomb Explosion Hiroshima (U.P.) Sirens screamed over Hiroshima today and 200,000 persons bowed their heads in silent prayer 11 years to the minute after history's first atom bomb destroyed the heart of this fated city. At exactly 8:15 a.m. all-activity halted in this central Jap anese city as the citizens remem bered the nearly 60,000 persons the city officially lists as being killed by the atom bomb dropped from an an American super fortress. Twenty-thousand persons gath ered at the Peace Memorial Park where 500 "peace doves" soared into the skies and Hiro shima Mayor Tadao Watanabe warned that the world must not "repeat the misery of Hiro shima." All government offices, banks and companies were closed in Hiroshima today. Walk Info Propeller Fatal to Woman 29 Hughes, Ark. (U.PJ Amelia Brent, 29, editorial employee for Time, Inc., in New York, was killed Sunday when she walked into the whirling propeller of her brother's small plane here. Miss Brent, home on vacation only 12 hours before the acci dent occurred, had been on a pleasure flight with her brother. Upon landing, she and her moth er climbed down from the plane. G. R.

If I were to read a book alone I should wonder which sentence in it would please him most. If I plucked a flower I should ask myself if he would like me to wear it.

Camp chores can be made in to an odious task, to be shirked if possible; or into a fascinating game which players vie cheer fully for the chance of excelling in their share of each day's work. If the former, it is usually because the person who does the heavy-duty at home automatical ly assumes the camp detail; if the latter, it is because the camp has been planned well in ad vance, and it is run democratical ly with disciplined organization. Do I feel sorry for the over worked camper usually a mother with grown children? Not I. Rightly managed, even professional shirkers will as sume their obligations, and like them. What's more, a smooth-running camp with everyone pitch ing in to do his expected share of the work is invariably a hap py camp. What's the formula? Long be fore the trip is made, organize the detail. List what's to be done: cooking, of course, morn ing and evening with mid-day snacks. Dishes to wash. Wood to gather for cooking. Kindling. Tent to set up. Water to carry. Beds to make up. Garbage to be disposed. Table to be made; a cooler, too and a camp-craft expert will find a dozen things to do with his sharp axe. Now make up a daily chart for the first week, with every person having a chance at cook ing. But for the first run, assign the simpler duties to the less experienced. If there are four in the camp, the work might well be split up between two groups thus the two more ex perienced members could take the fledgings under their wing. Then, to make the work-load come out evenly, and to give the experienced the chance to learn, rotate the plan either daily, every-other day or week ly. Total Time 10 Minutes Once the camp has shaken down where it runs smoothly, make it a game to see how ef ficient it can be: how quickly camp can be broken up in the morning. If no baking is done the total time for building the fire, cooking, cleaning up, and packing up a lunch should not exceed 60 minutes. That's op erating! Usually the camp will rotate around the Chief Cook and in camp a cook should do nothing else. That's enough for one per son to manage and good cook ing means the cook must be re- T IU0INI tURKS Rr-Naturalist sponsible for the changing menu, unpacking the food cooking, and serving the meal. Cooking, he'll find shortly, requires constant watching: skillets and pots must be moved if they get too hot; food must be stirred regularly; some foods must be cooked slow ly others rapidly; all must be seasoned, and properly timed. It is up to th assistant chief in the west called the "bull" cook to gather the wood, build the fire, get the water, set the table, cut the bread and do any other chores the cook may need. His job is to see that the cook gives his undivided attention to turning out a first-class meal. At the next meal, the two may swap jobs. Oh, I know, at first the ex perienced camper may think: "It would be a lot easier to do this myself get out of my way, while I make the hot cakes." Sure, and it might well taste better and the camp be left in less disorder. But why rob the beginner of the pleasure of learning how to do his part of the work well? So take a firm grip on yourself and exer cise patience you 11 need it. Follow Through Even the best-laid plans for your camping trip may go wrong? Why? Quite likely be cause you don't follow through to see that each person does his part of the job and you pitch in and do it yourself. That's where the daily work sheet comes in handy. And make it a point for each person to check off his day's duty. (With exper ienced campers, all this is not necessary except, all too often, I have seen one man imposed upon, where he is doing all the cooking and campwork while the rest are out hunting.) Finally, don't be tardy in pas sing out compliments where it is warranted. A tenderfoot likes to .know that his work is pas sing muster. But no false praise, please. That can be deadly: slipshod endeavor should not be made your camp standard. Remember our purpose is to make a good, efficient camp con sisting of self-reliant outdoors' men who cherish the privilege of doing their part cheerfully.

Around Hollywood lr ALINI MOSBT Uaitatf Prase Cerrsseeedeat L t Hollywood U.R) Holly wood boasts certain establish ments where it's chic to be seen, and in this p r o v i n e ial c o m m u nity that even in cludes a hos pital. Ccdin of Lebanon Hos pital probably is the most colorful, star- jjina Mesby studded medi cal institution in the world. In Hollywood, one just isn't lick unless he's sick at Cedars. In fact, recently most of the news on the Hollywood beat has been coming from the famed hospital. Mrs. Clark Gable was rushed there with a heart attack. Montgomery Clift recuperated there from automobile accident injuries, Joanne Dru from a ; black eye and Marion Davies from a stroke. Cedars, celebrating its silver anniversary this year, is a top 465-bed hospital on the edge of downtown Los Angeles that is a famed center for'-medical re search but also became fashion able for the movie crowd. Casta System PreTails Even within the hospital the Hollywood caste system holds forth. A patient is a "nobody" unless he gets room on the fifth floor, akin to being honored with the first booth at Roman off's restaurant or seats on the middle aisle at premieres. Pri vate rooms cost from S 28 to 55 a day. The private rooms on the fourth floor are just as nice but every star wants the fifth floor don't ask me why," says one nurse. "There's one doctor who won't visit his patients unless they're on the fifth. He sends his assistant to the fourth floor." The late showman Sid Grau man spent the last six months of his life in the hospital, but not as an invalid. Grauman just liked it there. He would eat at fine restaurants every night and then return to his bed. A millionaire manufacturer with no family lived for two years at Cedars although he wasn't bed-ridden, either. His chaff eur took him for drives ev ery day. Cedars even has public rela tions expert to handle numerous telephone calls and letters about patients from the press and fans. The biggest public reaction to any patient came when Clift was hospitalized. Calls from friends, fans and reporters poured in from all over the world. More excitement was caused the day Marilyn Monroe tried to sneak out of Cedars to avoid photographers waiting at every entrance. Many patients order their din ners from Chasen's and other restaurants. Most also order the motion picture trade papers to read in bed. But the height of luxury occurred during the ill ness of the late Mexican star, Jorge Negrete. "When his wealthy family came up from Mexico they or dered a $50-a-day room just to sit in," a nurse says. An estimated 186,000,000 con versations take place every day over the nation's 51,000,000 telephones. MM Delicious Candy Coated Chocolate 29 7-oi. Pkt.

It is only once in a great while that anybody is trapped or overtaken by fire. The old yarn about the green horn who got his shirt-tail on fire and ran nine blazing miles, set ting a fresh fire every hundred yards, is unverified. A forest fire is commonly dull, grim tedious business. Here are snapshots of familiar items. As a rule, humidity goes up and forest fire menace dies down at night. On a normal morning, when the crew gets on the fire line soon as they can see day light in the smoke the fire may seem dead. Then long stretches can be cold-trailed, shoveled through ash and char. On others the smoldering fuel can be shov eled onto ash heaps. The wind is likely to be quiet. Fire lines can be dug fast. A dewy dawn might be called the true time to fight forest fires. Then the rising dawn wind, sun-up, heat in the air, the night damp streaming out of the fuel, and again flames crackle. From 10 to 4 o clock the fire moves : as a rule. Its head will be hot,-' smoky, mean to work against. By 1 the book, the wind drops at 6 or 1 7, the air cools and dampens, the fine fuel doesn't spark so eas-I ily. Canyon Drafts I Sundown and nightfall are a ' good time for trail making, if the country is not too rough and there are no spots for mantrap 1 fireholes. If the crew has min-' ers' lamps, they can walk right up to the head df a fire and beat it down. In most canyons the air blows down-grade at night and in the dawn turns tail in an up-grade draft. That's a time for backfir ing and, when the smoke thins, to dig a trail around the head of the fire. But maybe an east wind keeps up for days. This may ev en dry out an ocean beach, right to the high-tide line. In the Cas cades the night down-draft in the west side canyons will car ry hot, dry air from the east side. Then, at 4 in the morning, when the woods should be damp, they'll yet be so dry that sparks will fire the boughs of standing timber, leap upward, and carry from tree crown to tree crown. Facing a crown fire in big timber, man is helpless. Sidehill Fires On still days and on level ground, flames, smoke and heat go straight up, and the spread, which depends on the baking out of surrounding fuel to a point at which it kindles easily from sparks, is a lazy crawl of snaky flames. A strong wind turns the flames on their sides, forces the heat close to the ground, and so bakes the fuel ahead to a quick- Seven Texans Die In Three-Car Crssh Woodville, Tex.
