rpHERE IS A WRITER in England who not only appropriated
1 1 a lot of Bertrand Russell's ideas for a book he was writ
ing, but had4he nerve to ask Russell to contribute an introduc
es tion when the book was
completed. Lord Russell's
reply consisted of two
words: "Modesty forbids,"
Sophia Loren, the shapely,
to put it mildly, Italian screen
star, purred to a columnist,
The figure the heavens saw
fit to give me I owe to
spaghetti I
An old gal with young ideas
cornered her druggist and
asked. "Haven't you got some
thing for grey hair?" He told
her, 'Nothing madam, but the greatest respect-"
Have you encountered the well-rounded miss who married a
tcond lieutenant? The first one got off the hook.

Lionel Trains Made
For the Female Set
By DOC QUIGG
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP) In a major
breakthrough into new concepts
of1 railroading, the Lionel peo
ple have developed a complete
five car electric model train
rtfade for girls only. That's crash
thinking, boys.
Always, they explain, female
tots have had to content them
selves with playing with broth
er's model trains. But that's all
behind us now. The new, girlish
choo-choo features pastel colors
such as a pink-frosting steam
locomotive, robin egg blue
(Jiew York Central boxcar, lilac
Lehigh Valley hopper, sky blue
Pennsylvania illuminated ca
Swose, ando buttercup yellow

Backed In Session
Of Reclamations
Phoenix, Ariz. OP) Del
ca.es to the National Reclama
tion association convention here
have wound up their sessions
after deciding on Houston, Tex ,
as their 1958 convention site,
ar.d approving 21 resolutions in
simnort of irrigation projects.
More than 1,000 reclamation
experts throaghout the nation
flocked to hear top federal and
state officials discuss land and
"va.er problems at the three-day
convention. Among the resolu
tions adopted before adjourn
ment was one supporting opti
mum water runoff in any reserv
ed area or wilderness that should
$e established.
Final speakers included Assis
tant Interior Secretary Fred
Aandahl, who warned that "re
sponsible sources forecast an in
crease of 60 million people in
the U.S. by 1975 ..." and noted
that more than 19 million of
them would be in the western
states.
The federal official noted that
the answer to the "running ar
gument of crop surpluses versus
future needs," was "pretty well
contained in population fore
costs and dwindling crop lands."
Luncheon speaker of the fi
nal day was Rep. A. L. Miller
(R-Neb.), who cited reclamation'?
part in developing the West,
nJ maintained funds should
continue to be made availab.e
"because the nation needs reclamation."
The model train people al
ways have coajed details from
the big, real-life railroads, but
this time they seem to have
gone out on their own for the
women's trade. And therein may
lie the virus of an idea for the
women's trade. And therein may
lie the virus of an idea for the
real railroads.
Trains for Ladies
In the recent disclosure that
talks have been underway look
ing toward possible merger of
the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania railroads, there
were estimates that each line
was losing around 50 million
dollars a year on its passenger
service. Well, why not take the
plunge and go right after the
powerful distaff trade by whip
ping up special trains for ladies?
"Ladies' Limited! Now leaving
on Track 29, for Paoli, Albany,
Pittsburgh, and State Street
shopping center in Chicago!
Please accept our kind request
for your presence aboard . . .
Pennsy-Central, at home, after
6:14 p.m. standard time."
Under the Quigg plan, the La
dies Special would consist of
several boudoir cars one with
chintz drapes outside, another
polka dot, another cozily wall
papered. Inside, there would be
mirrors instead of windows,
since the passengers would be
much more interested in looking
into them than in looking out
side. The observation car would
have picture mirrors.
The exterior architecture of
the Pullmans would vary with
each. car-ranch house, Georgian,
Cape Cod, cottage-small-by-a-waterfall
. . . there would be
brass knockers and chimes on
the doors. Also, a fireplace in
every car, attended, naturally,
by a fireman or firewoman.
Blua Serge Must Go
Those simply horrible blue
serge suits on conductors would
have to go. They could wear
Bermuda shorts in summer and
something gaudy like matador
uniforms in winter. The tickets
would be glamorized heart-
shaped and possibly in booklet
form surrounded by advertise
ments, plus a couple of juicy
hearthrob stories for berthtime
reading.
Of course, there would be
beauty salon cars, chiropodist
cars, a cook-it-yourself diner, a
bar car serving only pink lady
and Alexander cocktails. The
train butchers would hawk hors
d'oeuvres instead of ham and
cheese sandwiches.
When the train wheels whis
pered to the rails while crossing
trestles, it wouldn't sound as if
they were saying the traditional
"Heinie Manush . . . Heinie Ma-
nush will play today." They'd
say "Gussie Moran . . . Gussie
Moran . . ." or maybe, "Eliza
beth Second reigns supreme."
Scientist Praises
Defense Department
Los Angeles (IP) Dr. JoseDh
Kaplan, chairman of the Unit
ed States International Geophys
ical Year committee, has prais
ed a Defense department order
for the Army to join the Navv
in helping to launch an earth
satellite.
Kaplan said that he was
"very pleased" with Defense
Secretary Neil H. McElroy's or
der to the services to combine
their efforts. "Anything that the
Defense Department does to
speed progress of our Vanguard
project is of course highly plead
ing to us," the UCLA professor
of physics said.
