July 25, 1957 -v l-, i"',. fit v - i.iiiih - p-r -tyjMmX if: MAKING NUCLEAR HISTORY, these Air Force men are slated to fire air-to-air nuclear rocket over Nevada test site, first such experiment ever conducted in United States. Captain Eric Hutchison, Webster City, la., will pilot plane with Captain Alfred Barbee (right), handling detonation of the nuclear device. (International Soundphoto) On The Side By e. v. Durimg (Distributed by King Faatures Syndicate, Inc.) At summer dances you see many men perspiring as they trip the light fantastic. Their feminine partners, however, ap pear delighfully cool. The fe male of the species is so con structed that her body is to some extent air-conditioned by na ture. Then consider what the av erage woman wears in the good old summertime. That is, prac tically nothin. Her attire weighs less than an ounce. A man is compelled at dances to wear a coat, a buttoned-up shirt and a yieck binding necktie. There is no justice to it. Gat It Right The belief that divorced per sons are not permitted in the "Queens Enclosure" at the Ascot race track in England is erron eous. At least one very promi nent divorced person was in vited by Her Majesty to the "Queen's Lawn" at the recent running of the Ascot Cup. The custom is not to invite a person who has been the "guilty party" in a divorce suit. Of course, in some divorce cases there is no "guilty party." The separation is due to incompatibility. Do It Yourself A Detroit firm has inaugu rated a four-day working week. At seven hours a day, that makes 28-hour week. Very nice. Cer tainly will give the employees much leisure time. What will they do with it? Many will go in for "Do It Yourself" activities. That is, start building their own houses, making their furniture, doing their own painting and Child's Play MR?

Asking Queries from clients. Q. Was Bessie McCoy, "The Pajama Girl," ever in vaudeville? A. Bessie never featured pajamas on the stage. She was known as "The Yama Yama Girl" because of a song and dance she did in the musical hit titled "The Three Twins." I don't think she was ever in vaudeville. She retired from the stage after becoming the wife of Richard Harding Davis. Speed Girl How much of a speed girl is your secretary? How many words a minute can she type? Give her a test. Does she know who Lore Alt is? Lore, a Ger man girl, is the champion typist of the world. She won the title by typing 110 words a minute for 30 minutes at the interna tional typewriting contest re cently held at Milan, Italy. Publicity Mike Tod, the spotlight loving showman, now says he wants less personal publicity. He means it. His wife is complain ing that the press appears to be forgetting that she is Elizabeth Taylor, film star, and is too fre quently referring to her as "Mrs. Todd." Sidelights Raymond, the British hair dresser and his wife have a unique system for naming their children. They name them after colors and have three daughters named Cherry, Amber and Scar let .. . Blanch Thebom, the opera star is still featuring that long, long hair. When let down Blanche's crowing glory mea sures six feet, six inches. It takes one and one-half hours to shampoo. Asides The great statesman Disraeli, a very happily married man, is said to have once complimented his matrimonial mate as follows: "My dear, you are more like a mistress than a wife" . . . Italy has another "wonder horse" that . will probably win the British St. Leger and the French Arc de Triomphe stakes. The noble animal's name is Braque. Keep it in mind. Less Expenditure Said Needed for Safe Roads Springfield, 111. HP Ameri ca doesn't need a billion-dollar budget for super highways to make ner roads safer, according to V. E. Burgener, president of the Illinois Rural Safety Coun cil. Many opportunities for mak ing existing roads safer are be ing overlooked merely because "they don't involve big changes and billion-dollar expenditures," he said. "Inexpensive but effective measures can turn a road from a potential death trap in to a safe place to drive." "Often all that needs to be done is to widen a narrow road, improve visibility at intersec tions, repair rutted roads, or put up reflective signs that can be seen at night." A COMPARISON Salt Lake City IIP An ambi tious reporter here figured out that the number of persons killed in traffic accidents in Salt Lake City during the past 20 years, more than 500 in all, was three times the number of pio neers who entered this valley with Mormon church leader B'righam Young in 1847. Italian $64,000 Question Watched By Five Million Rome npi At 9 p.m. every 1 contestant has to perform the Sunday an estimated five mil ion Italians all the way down the "boot." from Turin to Taor- mina, drop whatever they are doing to settle in front of an estimated 500,000 television sets. The sets are in homes, restau rants, hotel lobbies, coffee bars, pizzerias and movie theatres! The movie houses had install ed large television sets with the biggest available screens in self- oefense against the mass craze over the Thursday night quiz shew, "Lascia o Raddoppia.'' People coming to see a movie got a chance to watch the TV show, too, as telecast from Milan. They had been avoiding Thursday night moviegoing until the thea- tors made it possible for them to see the TV quiz. Now the sets are on in the movie houses a second night each week to prevent people from staying away on Sundays to watch the latest TV craze, "Telematch." "Lascia o Raddoppia" is the American S64.000 Question" in thinnest disguise; "Telematch" is an import from France. The lat ter is actually a combination of four contests, the most important of which is called "The Mys terious Object." Pass or See The show opens in a Rome studio with quiz-master Enzo Tortora in front of a screen onto which photos of some strange object are projected. What is it? The action then moves to the main square of an Italian city, j. different one every Sunday. A portable TV camera connect ed with the Rome studio picks up the scene in the square where a huge television screen reveals the photographs of the mysteri ous object. As people line up to try their luck by answering. a second quiz is put on the air from the Rome studios. This one is called "Passo o vedo," a poker term that should translate as "pass or I'll see you. Master of ceremonies Sil vio Noto directs contestants to cnoose one of a bunch of cards. Each card carries certain instruc tions, and it's up to the contest ant to decide whether he can crack 20 nuts in 30 seconds, drive a golf ball into a hole six feet away with a single stroke, sign one s name backwards on a glass plate in 10 seconds or whatever. Noto is unaware of the test vhe card calls for. If the con stant says he'll carry out the test, the master of ceremonies can either believe him and "pass" of not believe him and "see."

The scene switches to the town square. Contestants file past a microphone and announce what tney believe the object is. At each wrong answer the value of the object is increased by 10,000 lire or about $16. The person who identifies the object gets a prize equal to the total value. Athletes Compete A third quiz is then put on the air from Rome. It is called, "I Mimi" (The Mimics) and amounts to a game of charades. Two persons appear together on the stage, one to ask the charades, the other to guess them. The former is handed a piece of paper with the assign ment. It's one of four things a person, an object, an animal or a fact. He then tries to pass it on to the latter with the help cf gestures. Working as a team, they may go on together if the second contestant guesses right, and to continue as long as they please. Kach time they win, the prize is increased. However, at the first mistake they lose all. They may withdraw at any moment with the amount already won. The fourth section of "Tele match" offers a change of pace. It's called "II braccio e la Mente" (The Arm and the Brain) and also calls for a pair of contest ants working together. The "Arm" is generally a champion in sports, while the "Brain" is a know-all in sports. The "Brain" is supposed to an swer correctly every question New Watch Crystal Overlaps Metal Rim Chicago Iffi Watch manu facturers now claim that auto mobile manufacturers aren't the only ones who can wrap glass around a corner. A new type of timepiece, under development for more than three years, has been un veiled by Elgin National Watch Company of Elgin, 111. The unbreakable crystals on the new watches are made so they sweep over and around the edge of the timepiece, eliminat ing the metal rim. Technicians estimate the new crystals will increase visibility of watches by approximately 33 per cent. asked by the quiz master. Each time he answers correctly, the prize money is increased. But each time he fails, Use "Arm" is called upon to perform a sports feat which, if done fault lessly, puts the "Brain" back in the running. The feats get increasingly more difficult as the number of the "Brain's" er rors rises. At the point the sportsman fails, too, both are out. By then it's 10 o'clock, and with it, the end of another excit ing Sunday evening in Italy. Use M-T Classified Ads Curriculum for Gifted Students Scheduled Harrisburg, Pa. (W A spec ial education curriculum for the gifted high school student, be lieved to be the first of its kind in Pennsylvania, will be inaug urated in the nearby Camp Hill School District next September. The program, which calls for additional study in English and mathematics, will actually be gin in the Junior high school level. A group of selected sev enth grade students will be al lowed to drop art, music and home economics and schedule additional classes in mathemat ics and English. The group will complete two year's work on the subjects in one year and continue an ac celerated program in the fol lowing years. In the 12th year the mentally superior students will be allowed to schedule an extra year of English, language, science, mathematics or any other subject which "would fa cilitate their entrance into col lege.

Israel protested to the Nations Tuesday night Egypt's arrest of an Israeli sailor and its delaying passage of an Israeli chartered freighter through the Suez Canal for more than 24 hours. Arthur Liveran, Israeli charge d'affaires, asked U. N. Secretary j General Dag Hammarskjold to act immediately to obtain the release of Israeli seaman Raffi Eylon who was taken off the j freighter, the 2,355-ton Brigitte ; Toft, when it arrived to pass through the canal. i Major Flu Epidemic Possibility in Nation Washington IW Dr. David D. Rutstein, head of Harvard University's Department of Pre ventive Medicine said Wednesday there is a possibility of a major flu epidemic sweeping the na tion this fall. Rutstein, in an article written for Harper's magazine, said that the mild form of flu which re cently broke out in the Far East, and has since spread to the United States, may become more damaging and widespread with the approach of cool weather.

And she does even more! Chances are she acts as family purchasing agent and bookkeeper. And her family's financial standing depends as much upon her ability to budget and save money as it does on her husband's ability to earn it. That's why so many women today are helping their husbands get started on a regular savings program in U.S. Series E Savings Bonds. Everybody wants to save, but modern women face the fact that few people can do it on a hit or miss basis. The secret of saving is system, and one of the easiest systems to follow is for the family breadwinner to buy Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan. Once a wage earner signs up for this plan where he works, his money is automatically saved for him in safe and sure U.S. Savings Bonds. Kelp your family win financial security by encouraging your husband to join the Payroll Savings Plan or invest in Bonds regularly where he banks. He'll thank you for it tomorrow!
