Eight reports of checks re turned to merchants and marked "unable to locate" or "account closed" were made yesterday. Five reports came jn earlier this week. Lt. Lyle C. Perkins of the po chants to be especially careful this time of year. A large num ber of transients are passing through the city or working temporarily in the fruit harvest.

Durling (Distributed by King Feature Syndicate, Inc.) It has been suspected excess weight carried has been the cause of some recent passenger airline disasters. How about re viving the custom of weighing the passengers? A number of 200-pound travelers among those on a 60 -passenger plane can make quite a difference in the total weight. Get It Right Having spent my boyhood in Brooklyn "The City of Churches" and also been a star Sunday school pupil, I have long known that in the Bible (Luke 12-19) can be found the following: "Take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry." Also that in the Bible Isaiah (22-13) is the following, "Let us eat and drink; for to- morrow we shall die." However," the quotation from Luke says nothing about dying and that from Isaiah says nothing about being merry. Therefore my claim that the quotation, "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die" is not in the Bible is cor rect. To say that the two can be combined and referred' to as a "Biblical quotation" is an ab surd assumption. Three Wheelers Have you seen any three wheeler motor cars on the high ways lately? Neither have I. However, this type of car is very popular in England. It can go 85 miles on a gallon of gaso line, do 50 miles per hour and carry four passengers. It is priced at the equivalent of $820. Birthdays The British Queen Mother was born on Aug. 4, Princess Margaret was born on Aug. 21 and Princess Anne on Aug. 15. That puts them all under the sign of Leo. It is said by the stargazers that Leo women have a constant desire for romantic happiness and are miserable and unhappy when out of love. Princess Margaret, who is 27, seems to be "out of love" at this writing. Should she fall in love, she now can, being over 25, mar ry without thejQueen's permis sion. However, according to the British "Marriage Act" passed in 1772, the British Parliament could prevent a marriage by Princess Margaret of which they did not approve. Asking Queries from clients: Q. Who is the oldest living former world's boxing champion? A. Seventy - three year old Abe At tell who won the featherweight title from "Brooklyn Tommy" Sullivan in 1908. Q. How many layers of different liqueurs are there in that drink known as a "Pousse Cafe"? A. Usually six; grenadine, creme de cacao, mar aschino, creme de rhenthe, creme Yvette and brandy. This drink is rarely ordered nowadays. It was a great favorite of . the ladies when your grandma was a whistle girl. Also very few present day bartenders are suf ficiently skilful to concoct a pousse cafe. How about the bar steward at your neighborhood pub? Over There Hundreds of nudists assemble at the Tie du Levant, France, every summer. A recent visitor to this island, which is 12 miles out - from Marseilles, said he didn't view even one female nudist with a decent figure. His disappointment was great. That's generally true of nudist camps both here and abroad. The male nudists usually out-number the females by five to one and shape ly feminine nudists is a distinct rarity. However, some nudist camp owners hire shapely models to pose as members over the weekends. These are the feminine nudists usually seen in the publicity pictures. The 1956 quota made it pos sible for 17,000 Irish immigrants to enter the United States. How ever, only 6,000 natives of Ire land took advantage of the op portunity. The U.S.A. seems to be losing its. popularity with the Irish immigrants. Now most of them go to Canada.. The wages there are said to be higher than in this country and the cost of living lower. Passing Br Alonzo Stagg. Grand Old Man of the World of Sport. Just celebrated his' 95th birthday which gives the claim that men born in the summer don't live long a terrific set back. Stagg was chosen for an end position on Watler Camp's first All American Eleven in 1889. He was also a great baseball pitcher. When Yale played the Boston Nationals in an exhibition game in . 1888, Stagg . fanned Mike "King" Kelly, the "Babe" Ruth of that period. Alonzo immedi ately received numerous offers to turn nrofessional but turned ' them all down. - Storm Threat Moves Toward Klamath Area Thunder and lightning storm potential along the Cascades east of the valley appeared less Thursday, .the weather bureau station here reported. .
