-Survey Shows Products Wanted Chicago 1"! What new product would you like? That was the question Illinois mem bers of the Manufacturing Chemist's association asked re cently in an on-the-stret sur vey here. About 230 persons were asked what new products they would like to lighten house hold chores, and improve clothing fabrics and cosmetics. Here are some of the results: Most of the women said that dusting was their biggest household headache, and they wanted effective dust and dirt repellents. Men decided that dishwashing was the worst task around the house and asked for something to make it easier. Fifty-two per cent of both sexes said that truly wrinkle proof fabrics would be the greatest improvement in cloth ing. Women decided that cos metics to remove facial wrin kles would also be the best im provement in cosmetics. Men, answering questions in this category, said that improved shaving creams, effective de odorants and men's facial de pilatories -were the biggest needs. Some women requested longer-lasting perfumes and "something to make eyes spar kle." A few men asked for hair restorers. , . Both men and women wish ed for unbreakable door locks and windows, long -lasting metal polishes and better in sect killers. . Pueblo Indians Slate Dances Espanola, N.M. OP) The Indians of Santa Clara Pueblo are returning -to their ances tral home in the cliffs to per form ceremonial dances this summer. Costumed Indians will con duct ancient and colorful rites at the site of the prehis toric village of Puye, one of the most dramatic settings in the Southwest. This will be the first time the Santa Clara people have formerly renewed their link with the cliff dwellings where their ancestors are believed to have lived before the Span ish conauest of New Mexico. The two-dav "Puye Cere monial" on Aug. 17-18 will combine performances oi dances with exhibits of the arts and crafts produced by the modern Santa Clara In dians. Potters, beadworkers and other artisans will ex hibit their wares at the foot of the towering Puye cliff in the Jemez mountains 15 miles southwest of Espanola. The village of Puye was one of many cliff houses that flourished 400 years ago on the Pajarito plateau overlook ins the Rio Grande valley in northern New Mexico. Actu ally, it consists of two separ ate community houses. One was built along the foot of the cliff, with rooms extending out from natural or man-nfade caves. Blocks oi soft volcanic "tufa" were used in the construction of the rooms. Ladders and stone stair ways led to the top of the cliff where a second commu nity house was built in a rec tangular Dattern with ter raced sides three and four stories in height. The ruin on top of the cliff has been partially restored by archeologists and commands a breath-taking view a 150 mile panorama of mountain ranges extending from south ern Colorado to the Sandia peak near Albuquerque, N.M. The Santa Clara Indians, whose present pueblo is on the banks of the Rio Grande three miles south of Espanola plan to make the ceremonial at Puye an annual event. Cave Formations Found in Basement Washington OP Stalac tites and stalagmites were re cently discovered in the damp sub-basement beneath the Lin coln Memorial. Some are seven feet long. A stalactite hangs down ward. It's usually formed when water, saturated with calcium carbonate, drips from the roof of a cave, evaporates and leaves rock. The rarer stalagmite grows upward from the puddle be neath the drip. Normally, the formations are found in caves. There's a spectacular display several hours drive from here in the Luray Caverns of Virginia. But they are not unheard of in man-made structures. The Lincoln Memorial's sub-basement cement has a high cal cium carbonate content. The water apparently seeps down from a storm drain. Stalactites sometimes are seen hanging under bridges and there are some in the dank corridors under the Library of Congress. 2A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Wednesday, April 30, 1958 Try and By BENNETT CERF- THE ASSOCIATED GHOSTS cf Northern Scotland were having a reunion. It was a bitter cold night, and every time another ghost flung open the door, a blast of frigid air swept through the hall. "Confound those inconsiderate mem bers!" grumbled a delicate old ghost finally. "Why must they keep opening that door? What do they tnk. the keyhole is for?" A Wall Street stock manip ulator was delighted to meet a college classmate on a Washington-bound plane one one morning. "How ya' do ing?" inquired the friend jovi ally. "Just great!" boomed the manipulator. "Never had it so cri-u-vH Whnt'a vmir Imp ftw?" "Didn't you hear?" asked the lector of Internal P.evenue." The manipulator explained hastily, "I meant I never'had it so good tpirituaUy, of course not materially." ' 1958, by Bennett Cert. Distributed by King Features Syndicate.

Iger whose organi zation for the past 25 years has been using pleasure as a means of selling more goods for business and industry. Iger, who has staged hun dreds of conventions and in centive travel programs for leading corporations, has booked rooms by the thou sands in hotels in the United States, South America, Cana da, Europe and the Caribbean areas, and has chartered planes, trains and ships to transport conventioneers and winners of sales incentive trips. From offices in New York and Miami, Iger's experts study the merchandising and sales problems for scores of manufacturers who want to sell, more merchandise. He works out a point-selling sys tem that results in dealers and salesmen winding up on the sands of Waikiki or at bull fights in Spain for selling more than their normal quotas of goods. The extra selling enables the companies to pay for the vacation trips, and at the same time increases their sales. In most cases the wife, who gets to go along on the junket, peps up her husband to win the trip. . .
