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.

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

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." In the latter case the

If he succeeds, he wins 50,000
lire or about $83 and the game
goes on.
The program then reverts to
"The Mysterious Object." 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

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

level. A group of selected sev
enth grade students will be al

home economics and schedule
additional classes in mathemat

The group will complete two
year's work on the subjects in
one year and continue an ac

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.

Cttk oa a cat
rhanls to the miracles of frown foods and prepared mixes, the modern
housewife can bake a cherry pie or concoct a whole meal "quick as a
cat can wink its eye."
But what does sfu da with (he time she tarns T Just takes care of three or
four kids, makes slip-covers and drapes, acts as family chauffeur and
nurse, does the washing and ironing, entertains her husband's boss,
probably helps out at the local hospital or maybe serves as Den Mother
for ten husky, unruly Cub Scouts.
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!
