IW Why Take Second-Besl When the Best Costs No More al Your Groceteria! Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- PEDERIC REMINGTON, renowned painter of scenes of the early West, was dragged, against his will, to an exhibition of pictures by a new Parisian impressionist "Admit that you re impressed, cnai- lenged the host "Im pressed?" snorted Reming ton. "I've got two maiden aunts in New Rochelle who can knit better pictures than those!" In a Paris cafe, at 3 a.m., the last guest in sight sat sleeping at his table. The charwoman said to the man ager, "I've seen you shake that old one and wake him up five times. Why- don't you make him go home?" "Nothing doing!" snapped her boss, "Every time I wake Mm up he asks for his bill and pays it" The owner of an Oklahoma barbecue near the Texas line told his wife, "Well, I finally got tired of being bullied by one of those tough Texas guys today so I let him have it No siree, I ain't going to let any 9-year-old highhat me!" 1958, by Bennett Cert Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Modern Version of Abacus Seen Help To School Children New Type Plate Aids Policemen Los Angeles (IP) Poiice of ficers on various levels say the state's new type of license plate has assisted them in law enforcement noticeably since introduced in 1956. The new plate has three letters and three numbers, compared mith the previous type of passenger car plate which usually had a letter, a number and four to six num bers. The plates' letters fre quently make actual words, but there are none which could cause embarrassment to a car owner. Motorcycle officer Homer Struthers said he can check one-third more license plates now. Like all officers, he has a "hot sheet" or list of car license plates wanted for one reason or another. Struthers said the plates are less clut tered, easier to see and easier to recall. Lt. W. H. Gaylord, in charge of the hit-run felony follow-up unit, said his divis ion now receives more license plates and more letters and numbers of suspected hit-run cars than previously. He said witnesses still make mistakes under the stress of seeing a traffic accident, .but that he noticed a difference right away when the new plates were issued. TOUGH QUESTION Washington (IP) Dan C. Kimball, a missile manufac turer, was confronted with a long and involved question by Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (R-Mass.) Wednesday while testifying before the Senate preparedness subcommit tee. "I don't believe I understand the question, senator," Kim ball said. "I don't blame you," Saltonstall replied. Washington (IP) Oscar Seidenberg has an invention which he earnestly believes will teach school children to like mathematics. "It's a modern version of the abacus . . .," Seidenberg starts to explain. At this point almost everyone laughs at him. The abacus is man's oldest calculating machine. It was developed thousands of years go by the Arabs, and is still widely used in the Orient. It consists of beads which slide back end forth on parallel rods held in a rectangular wooden frame. The idea that this ancient contraption might be used to improve math teaching in U. S. schools, in this era of electronic brains and space missiles, sounds preposterous. But is it? "The Russians don't think so," Seidenberg points out. "They've been using the old type of abacus for years to teach arithmetic in elemen tary schools. That's why Rus sian children get such a good foundation in mathematics." Seidenberg was born in Russia and learned to use the abacus there. He came to the United States in 1913, when he was 17. During World War II, heworked as a statistician for the War Production board. Adding machines were hard to ge. so he built himself a simplified version of the aba czus he remembered using in his childhood. Although Seidenberg's "modern abacus" works on the same basic principle as the traditional Oriental device, the wires and beads are ar ranged in a way that makes it easier for the beginner to master the method of calcu lation. s He does not claim that the abacus can or should replace the mechanical calculating machine. He sees it ony as a device for teaching the fund aments of arithmetic to chil dren in a way that will cause them to enjoy, rather than de test, the subject. "The reason American kids hate math is that we teach it to them as an abstract thing" he contends. "A child h a a to memorize that 7 and 8 are 15, and that 20 minus 11 is 9. With an abacus, he can see why these statements are true. He can visualize what he's doing when he adds and subtracts and multiplies. He learns faster and better, and doing arithmetic becomes a pleasure." Seidenberg's "modern aba cus" unlike those commonly used in the Orient is based on the decimal system. It has ten beads on each rod. The eight parallel rods correspond to columns of figures, with the one on the far right rep resenting units, the next one tens, the next one hundreds, ' and so on. Adding and subtracting is accomplished by moving the beads up or down in the ap propriate columns, "carrying" or "borrowing," from the ad jacent column when neces sary, just as you would do in figuring with a pencile. It is easy when you get the hang of it and children seem to learn more quickly than do adults, possibily because they consider it a game. DRIVE SHAFTLESS Knoxville, . Tenn.
