I'll " 1m b'l ' ' ' - ' . tl $3 if J (mm NEVER TOO YOUNG Four -year -old Sharon Philipie reacts just like the big sisters of her sex when confronted with such a situation. Her coy courter is 5-year-old John Cipparone, who's enjoying his big moment to the fullest as the youngsters rehearse for their parts in Macy's 12th annual Flower Show in San Francisco April 15-20. On The Side (Distributed by King By E. V. Durling Features Syadirate. Inc.) What was the height at birth of your first baby? By the height at birth can be determined whether the infant will be short or tall upon becoming an adult. The height at birth is about 30 per cent of what it will be when the youngster reaches adult years. At birth Princess Caroline, recently born child of Her Royal Highness Grace of Monaco, meas ured 21 inches. That indicates Caroline is going to be a very tall woman. She will be between five feet, nine, and five feet 10 Inches. Please Not A New York taxi skipper in forms me that on a recent day the total take of his cab was $19.20. Of this the company took $11.70 as its share. After five per cent had been deducted for taxes, the driver had $7.50 re maining. His tips amounted to $3.80, making his total earnings for a 10-hour day amount to $11.30. So now you know why a New York cab driver can't sup port himself and family unless tipped. Even when he is tipped, It it a very tough struggle to make ends meet. Top Three The three most popular dishes among restaurant patrons in this country are said to be ham and eggs, chicken and steak. Twenty years ago corned beef and cab bage was tied with steak for first place in the restaurant pop ularity poll. Now it isn't even mentioned. Why has this delight ful dish so decreased in popu larity? Her Complaint In my never ceasing efforts to understand women, I take note of what wives in various parts of the country offer as grounds for divorce. Some of these com plaints are very interesting. As for example, that of a Los An geles woman, mother of 17 chil dren, who said the principal rea son for her seeking a divorce was that her husband wanted more children.. Passing By 1 Billy Briscoe. Long time pilot Lfor the globe girdling Royal Dutch Airlines. He should be working for Aer Lingus, the Irish airline. Why? Well, sir, because he is the son of Robert Briscoe, Lord Mayor of Dublin. Christian Dior. World's most celebrated dress designer. Monsieur Dior is . a firm believer in astrology and numerology. Considers eight his lucky number. Makes all his im portant .moves on the eighth of the month when possible. Al ways bets the number eight horse at Longchamps. ' This brings to mind that Madame Ga- brielle Chanel shares Monsieur Dior's belief in numerology. Ga brielle's lucky number is five. And, almost needless to say she has much proof of it. Asides A woman born "under Gemini (May 22-June 21) makes a very interesting armful but quite a handful. Gemini wives are very hard to handle. They are the problem wives of the zodiac or, so say the stargazers . . . Am asked when and where Mae West made her stage debut. I decline to say when but I will say where. Mae made her first stage appear ance at . the Gotham Theatre, Brooklyn. She played the part of "The Angel Child" in "Ten Nights In a Barroom." Over There In Ireland, off track wagering on horse races is legal in so called "Betting Shops." Betting is handled by bookmakers. The government tax is seven and one- half per cent on money wagered. The winner pays the tax. That is, it tne bettor wins he pays the seven and a half per cent. If the bettor loses the bookmaker pays the seven and one-half per cent. Back Stairs: The Presidential Proboscis By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Vhite House Writer Washington (U.R; Back stairs at the White House: In recent days, President Eis enhower has looked like Ru dolph, the red-nosed reindeer. The end of the presidential nose has been most brilliant, looking for all the world like he had been tweaked recently. Finally, a caller, a distinguish ed mayor of an American city, built up nerve enough to ask the President why the end of his nose was so red. "I stayed under the sun lamp too long," was Eisenhower's an swer. Virtually every day the Presi dent spends some 15 or 30 min utes under a quartz sun lamp and apparently, there are times when he stays a bit longer than cosmetically advisable. He showed up at a recent press conference looking posi tively cherubic as a result of) a large orange and black num- his sunlamp exposure. Each high cheekbone had a brilliant red spot on it. The President has his private gymnasium in "the White House, complete with swimming pool, sun lamp, bar bells, electric horse and a punching bag that sounds like a set of bongo drums when properly punched. Eisenhower swims fairly often in his tepid White House pool 80 plus degrees and then drops into the gym for a rub-down and a sunlamp treatment. Manney Ress, the New York funster who makes celluloid but tons for a rather substantial liv ing, produced a number of the buttons for the last Republican National Convention. He has now come up with a new one which he is mailing in limited numbers to his friends attached to the White House. This button, Mill Wastes1 Effect On Aquatic Life Is Studied at College Corvallis Effects of pulp and paper mill wastes on fish and other aquatic life are being studied at Oregon State college in an effort to determine how much of these wastes can be dumped into streams and rivers without lowering the value of fishery and other water re sources. Both fresh water and marine life are being checked in the study, conducted by the OSC department of fish and game management in cooperation with U. S. public health fishery biol ogists. The work is supported by grants of nearly $10,000 from the National Council of Stream Improvement, New York. The fresh water studies are under the direction of Charles E. Warren, agricultural experi ment station fisheries biologist. Work is done in the station's fisheries laboratory on the Mary's river near Corvallis. Natural Condition In the 'laboratory, troughs containing entire stream com munities, including crayfish, in sect larvae, algae, and other aquatic life as well as fish, have been set up so effects of the wastes under nearly natural con ditions can be studied. Marine work is at the OSC marine laboratory on Yaquina bay. This project, under the di rection of R. E. Dimick, fish and game department head, will study effects of the mill wastes on oysters and other marine or ganisms found in surrounding GOOD! Local Men fo Attend State Chest Meeting Two members of the United Medford Crusade board of direc tors are planning to attend the 14th annual meeting of the Ore gon State Community Chest in Portland Monday, April 15. They are M. M. Huggins, also a member of the Oregon Chest board, and Tom G. Polk, UMC vice president and chairman of the UMC budget committee.

English Channel Tunnel Considered Possibility London (U.R) Minister of Transport Harold Watkinson told the House of Commons Wednesday the government again is considering the possi bility of a channel tunnel link ing Britain and France. He said the big stumbling block continues to be the tre mendous cost of such a project. He estimated the cost of build ing a tube that would carry both rail and road traffic at $280 million. Fair trade laws to foster fair competition have been block mica comes from India. Plenty oi Advice Comes To Editor Hot Springs, S.D. U.R A United Press dispatch brought plenty of advice to a Hot Springs S.D., editor. The dispatch told of the city's skunk troubles. The animals came into town from the woods at night. A local taxpayer wrote the editor that the town might well be nicknamed "Skunk Hol low" and advertised as the "stinkingest town in the United States." "The American sense of hu mor is known universally," he wrote the editor," and such a claim might be just the ticket to bring the curious and inter ested people of this fun-loving country into Hot Springs." A Tulsa, Okla., man noted that deodorized skunks are worth as much as $35 each, and said that "without realizing it, your city may have a 'bonanza' and with it the possibility of be coming the No. 1 'skunk hollow' of the U.S." A York, Pa., man suggested the nuisance could be abated by scattering mothballs around town. bays, coves, and other coastal waters. Research is designed to sup ply basic information needed to help set possible water pollu tion control standards in the state. Trie fish and game scien tists say such standards may be necessary in the future to pro tect Oregon's water resources as population increases an industry expands. ber, says "Try vodka and carrot juice it won't keep you sober . . . but you'll see better." The mail on Eisenhower's auto trips to Gettysburg is start ing to change. When the" Presi dent was first disclosed to have been speeding to Gettysburg at far above normal speed limits, the mail response to the White House was uniformly critical. In recent days, nowever, the mail has begun to take the Presi dent's side; in fact, reporters are getting letters taking them to task for intruding on Eisen hower's privacy. Thursday, April 11. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Hibernation Saved Boy in Deep Freeze Garden Grove, Calif. (U.R) -A 5-year-old ' boy, rescued minutes bafore death from in side a locked home deepfreezer where he vas trapped for nearly an hour, survived the cold be cause he went into hibernation like an animal, it was reported Thursday. Dr. Walter C. Ralton said he administered treatment for frost bite of the feet and hands Wed nesday to little Theo DeHoog, who was rescued by his mother, Mrs. Daniel DeHoog from a chest type freezer into which he had climbed and locked himself. "This was the most interesting case I've ever handled," the Gar den Grove physician said. "Hi bernation saved the life of the boy." Dr. Ralton said the zero tem perature inside the freezer low ered Theo's metabolism so fast that he went to sleep before he could struggle much. "This conserved the oxygen in the closed food closet," the doc tor said. "The boy would have died he missed death by min utes if his mother hadn't found More than 70 million meals are served every day in U. S. easting establishments.
