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!"

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. (IP) A
mechanic quickly located the
trouble when W. L. Arthur's
car refused to move even
though it was in gear and the
motor was running smoothjy.
Someone had stolen the driye
shaft. :
