the current hullabaloo about

The reason? Tobacco taxes en

mightier than any in Heming

trying to conquer a marlin.
Two years ago Hayward began
work on the project, and l'i

"It was the toughest picture

frank-talking Hayward. "There

It was agony.
"It sounds easy to film sharks,

It is Said too many people have
paid too much' for their homes
and, therefore, burdened them
selves seriously from a finan

students of the situation, a man
with a $5,000 a year income
should not pay more than $9,000
for a house. A $7,000 a year
man should not pay more for
a home than $13,500. A $10,000

purchase price of his home to
$18,000.
Hones and Woman
Among the innumerable things
I don't understand about women
is why some brunettes feature
a streak of blonde hair in the
front and apparently think it is
attractive. Looks ridiculous to
me. Also why do some women
think those "fish net" stockings
are an aid to leg appearance
and increase their power of male
attraction. I think that type of
hosiery is a major handicap to
appearance. Another angle that
puzzles me is how some females
can gaze into a rear view mirror
and still think they look cute
in that curious article of fem
inine attire known as "toreador
pants."

Note: "Eat, drink and be merry

That's wrong. It is not in the

every year as business activity
takes unexpected turns.
No such revisions on tobacco
revenues are now being made,
the official said.
Time Will Tell
Exactly what effect the latest
swarm of reports and testimony
on smoking and cancer will have
is not yet clear. The best meas
ure of tobacco sales, government
revenue, will not be reported for
July and August until autumn.
However, several dealers in
Washington queried ,by the
United Press reported recent cig
arette sales were above those for
last year.
One wholesaler said "The can
cer scare hasn't done a thing."
He said he is selling 2Vi to 3 per
cent more cigarettes than a year
ago.
Two down-town pipe shops,
however, claimed a recent' rush
of first-pipe buyers. One firm
said business was brisk these
days for what usually has been a
slow season. '
"Ninety per. cent of people
buying pipes lately are switch
ing from cigarettes," the shop
owner said.
He added the switch was not
confined to men.
"One woman came in the oth
er day and bought a pipe for her
husband and another for her
self," he said. "For that matter,
we have a woman from one of
the embassies who smokes a
pipe constantly."
Short Seller Must
Be Extremely Nimble,
Market Expert Claims
By ELMER C. WALZER
United Press Financial Editor
New York (IPl Go ahead and
be a bear for a short time if you
can sniff a poor earnings report
coming up,
suggests a
broker. But he
puts the novice
on a spot when
he add this to
his advice: "Of
course a short
seller must be
extremely nim
ble, and do
Elmer Waller
any short sell
ing with a professional flair, not
in an amateur manner."
This line of reasoning comes
from Eldon A. Grimm, analyst
for Walston & Co., in a dis
sertation on earning reports.
He notes the report coming
to light for the first half are
proving very much mixed. Here
and there are some good ones.
Others are poor.
Several Opportunities
In cases where profits reports
are much better than expected,
traders can find several oppor
tunities on the upside, he notes.
"On the other hand," he adds,
"if the trader can anticipate a
poor report, or one where the
earnings are quite a bit less than
generally expected, he can try
for a turn on the short side of
the market sell short and buy
back a few days later."
He didn't say so but it's a
mighty good thing to do the
short selling some time before
the actual report appears.
When a poor report comes as
a surprise its practically im
possible to sell the issue short,
because a short sale can be made
only on an uptick, and there
are very few upticks in a de
clining stock.
There's one more little thine
to know about a short sale.
There's no limit to one's losses.
When one buys a stock for say
$25 a share, the most he can
lose is the $25 plus the commis
sion if the stock evaporates.
When one sells short there is no
limit to the heights it can reach,
and each point of rise is a dollar
lost per. share for the short sell
er if he guesses the market
wrong.

small traders is to let the pro
fessionals do the short selling.

Eagle Constellation Now

By FAY BENTLEY
According to legend, Gany
mede, son of Tros, king of Troy,
while helping to care for his
father s sheep on Mount Ida had
been seized by a large Eagle
and -carried to the home of the
gods of cloud-piercing Mt. Olym
pus.
During this period when peace
reigned on earth -and all men
lived in prosperity the gods ex
perienced continual happiness.
Each evening in the hall of fath
er Jupiter they met to enjoy the
divine food, ambrosia, and drink
nectar served by Jupiter's lovely
young daughter, Hebe.
One evening, to the great dis
gust of Jupiter who could not
endure clumsiness, Hebe stumb
led and fell, spilling . the delic
ious liquid. -Seats
at Table
"You shall never again serve
the nectar," thundered the king
of the gods in great wrath, as
the unhappy Hebe seated her
self at the table.
Kindly, lame Vulcan saved the
situation by joking about his
infirmity as he limped from
place to place filling the delicate
goblets. - ; .
Assuming mortal form, Jup
iter, the next day descended to
earth in search of someone
among the mortals on -whom
he might bestow the honor of
flagon bearer for the gods. All
morning he traveled from place
to place but found no one to
please him, until he reached
Mount Ida and saw the hand
some Ganymede, son of the king
of Troy.
Returning to Mt. Olympus, Ju
piter sent a large eagle to seize
the lad and bring him to the
home of the gods. Because of
Ganymede's excellence as a cup
bearer, the king of the gods
honored the eagle by placing it
in the sky. And there it may be

Criminal Libel
Suit Opens Today
Hollywood (IP) The criminal
libel trial of two representatives
of Confidential magazine opened
today following the issuing of
subpoenas to a host of film ce
lebrities to appear as defense
witnesses at the proceedings.
The attorney for defendants
Fred and Marjorie Meade said
among the more than 100 celeb
rities subpoenaed were Walter
Pidgeon, Gary Cooper, Corinne
Calvet and Lana Turner. The
defense reportedly planned to
use the many witnesses in an
attempt "to establish the truth
of the various articles" pub
lished in Confidential and Whis
per magazines.
Assistant Attorney General
Clarence Linn labeled the de
fense action in serving the sub
poenaes as "a reign of terror."
Many subpoenaed personalities
met over the week end with
their attorneys to determine if
they would have to undergo
cross examination in connection
with articles printed about them
in Confidential and Whisper
magazines.
Defense attorney Arthur J.
Crowley maintained the defense
had the right to subpoena the
film stars for the trial.
The Meades were employed as
West Coast representatives for
the two publications. The couple
voluntarily surrendered to the
Grand Jury indictments on the
charge while the editors and
publishers of the magazines have
