Newspaper Page Text12 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Oregon, Wednesday, April 16, 1938 Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- A WOMAN PASSENGER on a Midwestern day coach effec tively squelched a honeymooning couple who were seated directly behind her. The honeymooners had been making rude comments about her looks, costume, and dilapidated suitcase, and she finally had about all she could stand. Noting that the bride was obviously several years old er than the groom, she loud ly demanded, "Madam, would you mind asking your son to keep his knee out of the back of this seat?" Other passengers guffawed. The honeymoon ers said not another word for the balance of the jour ney. Tve got the worst luck in the world," pouted one of the lovely chorines at a Las Vegas hotel. "Lose all your dough at the tables ?" sympathized a friend. "It's not that," said the girl. "But every time I see a rich guy I want to marry I'm already married!" O 1358. by Bennett Cert Diitributed by Kin Features Syndicate. -. HUSSEIN CEDES POWERS Amman, Jordan TP) King Hussein has relinquished the power to declare war on be half of his kingdom, it was announced today. The change in powers came in the form of an amendment to the con stitution which ceded war powers to Iraq's King Feisal in his capacity as senior mon arch of the Iraqi-Jordanian Federation. FEWER ATOMIC PLANTS . London (IP) Britain will hold up its expensive nuclear power program and concen trate on cheaper coal-fired power stations for the next year. A government white paper, outlining capital in vestment in the electricity, coal and gas industries, said that a higher proportion of projected power stations would be coal-fired. Root of Mexican Yam Produces Success as 'Birth Control Pill' By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent Washington (IP) Scien tists believe that maybe just maybe they have found the long-sought "birth control pill." It is a synthetic hormone called Progestin, made from the roots of a Mexican yam. Preliminary trials, conduct ed in Puerto Rico during the past few months, indicate that Progestin is highly effective in inhibiting ovulaton and hence preventing pregnancy among women who take one pill a day from the 5th to the 25th day of their men strual cycles. No serious side effects were observed in the continu ing Puerto Rican tests. A number of women complained of upset stomachs after taking the pills. But in many cases this has proved to be purely psychological. The women continued to experience gas tric disturbances even when they were switched from Pro gestin to sugar pills. Dr. John Rock, director of the Reproduction Study Cen ter at Brookline, Mass., and one of the pioneers in Proges tin research, said in an in terview that much more ex tensive testing will be re quired before doctors can say positively that the pills have no long-range undesir able effects. But he said the results so far was highly encouraging. Among one group, of 206 Puerto Rican wives who have beer taking the pills for near ly a year, there have been 19 pregnancies. All occurred among women who acknowl edged that they "skipped" several of the prescribed daily doses. In another group of 139 women, there has has been only one pregnancy. Progestin has several ad vantages over other anti-fertility pills tested in the past, Dr. Rock said. It does not in terfere with normal men struation, if taken as pre scribed. On the basis of evi dence to date, it does not cause permanent sterility. Women who have taken the pills for several months have been able to conceive prompt ly after halting the medica tion. Progestin is fairly expen sive at present, but mass pro duction doubtless can bring the price down sharply. One drug manufacturer is already providing the pills (under the trade name "Enovid") for the U. S. market. Significance The great significance of the new pills, according to Rock, is that they answer the urgent demands of overpopu lated countries like Japan and India for a simple, safe, cheap method of controlling births in poor and illiterate families.

Modern health pro grams such as the use of DDT to eliminate malaria have sharply reduced the death rates of these countries, but the birth rates have re mained at the traditionally high levels. ' The result has been a "pop ulation explosion" unprece dented in human history. The population of the world has grown by nearly 500 million since the end of the war. It is still growing at a rate that will cause it to double before the end of this century. North Bend Woman Drowns in Flume Empire, Ore. (IP) A 53-year-old North Bend woman, Mrs. Margaret M. Rose, ap parently drowned in a water filled flume some time Mon day night at the Cape Arago Lumber company. The victim's body was not discovered until Tuesday morning, according to Coos county coroner Brewer Mills. John F. Ross, the woman's husband, said she accompan ied him to the mill site about 6 p.m. Monday but as they started to walk over a dock she decided to return to their car and wait for him. He said his wife had been in ill health and subject to fainting spells. When he returned to the car about 7 p.m. she was not there and he notified police, he said. The body was discov ered in the flume below the bridge. Waterlogged Dam Apparently Doomed Bennettsville, S. C- (IP) A waterlogged earthen dam, leaking water from a 300 acre lake through rapidly widening cracks appeared doomed today. Authorities said that a full break might come , "any min ute." About 250 families liv ing in a low-lying area below the structure left their homes late Tuesday when the rain swollen lake began threaten ing its retainer of red clay. Rain which began here Tuesday morning continued to fall heavily during the early morning hours Joday. National Guardsmen were standing guard around the evacuated area and the State Highway department was cut ting a diversionary channel in an effort to reduce the pressure on the dam. , Court Records MUNICIPAL COURT Leon Edwin Small, no Oregon driver's license, $10.
