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.

another ghost flung open the door, a blast of frigid air swept
through the hall. "Confound

A Wall Street stock manip

Consumer Buying
In Area Gets Start
An all-out community pro
gram to stimulate consumer
buying will get under way in
Medford tomorrow, according
to Paul Lea, president of the
Medford Automobile Dealers
association, the group which is
spearheading the local effort.
The action came after seve
ral weeks of discussion and
planning by the association,
Lea said. He reported the suc
cess of similar campaigns in
metropolitan areas of the
country and noted that Presi
dent Eisenhower and business
economists have lauded the
efforts of those communities
that have inaugurated such
programs.
He' drew attention to the
healthy business and construc
tion outlook for this area, and
said that such a community
effort has the endorsement of
Governor Robert D. Holmes
as well as local community
groups.

Old Adage Not True Anymore
New York (IP) That old
adage, "you can"t mix business
with pleasure" is as outmoded
as the penny newspaper, says
Martin B. 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. . .
Iger reports there is an in
creased trend among compa
nies to hold their conventions
at resort areas instead of met
