Newspaper Page TextBuying Telescope Launches Career RoseviHe. Calif. V In 1931 Carl Wells bought a six inch telescope for his teenage son, never dreaming that it would someday bring Weils wide recognition. The gift launched the 17-v?ar-old Wells on a spare time career as an astronomer and telescope maker that since has grown to major proportions. The retired railroad con ductor presently is expermi menting with metal mirrors for the National Astronomi cal Observatory of Phoenix, Ariz., for possible use in pho tographing the sun. "- Glass mirrors in this area tend to become heat-warped. The federally sponsored ob servatory hopes to find a heat-resistant metal that can be ground like glass. Wells has sent the observatory a disk of nickel-coated copper and another of titanium. He's working on one made of beryllium a poisonous met al that requires careful hand ling. Wells, working at his home made grinding and polishing machine, recalls various in cidents in connecton with his hobby. He was technical ad visor when the University of Nevada built its observatory. He made the telescope used there. Recently he finished a 10-inch Maksutov correcting lens which he intends to do nate to the University of California. Wells also worked for the U. S. Bureau of Standards, took part in secret projects for the Office of Naval Re search and made optical equipment for the armed ser vices. In 1916, there were 791,000 people employed by automo bile makers.

Money Necessary To Land Right Job Chicago- IP You've got to spend money in order to land the right job, says a place ment executive in Chicago. "Paradoxical as it might sound, it's the failure to spend money which often means the difference between landing a job and missing out on an op portunity," says Lon D. Bar ton, president of Cadillac As sociates, Inc. Advised Barton; Use the mail and phones freely. Canvass the opportu nities of every firm in your field. Make certain your ap pearance is correct. If you plan to use a resume, have it done professionally. And use taxicabs to make certain that you're on time for appoint ments. A good photograph of your self is important, too, Barton added. He pointed out that it is often the first advance im pression a prospective em ployer has of you.

Monument Due Face Lifting San Diego, Calif. TP The nation's most popular na tional monument is scheduled for a face-lifting. Officials at Cabrillo Na tional Monument atop Point Loma say they plan a S400, 000 improvement program that will transform the fam ous tourist attraction into an 81-acre scenic park. The monument, located on the most southwesterly point in the United States, now covers less ' than half an acre. In spite of its small size, it has attracted the highest annual visitor attendance of the 83 national monuments in the nation, 'surpassing even the Statue of Liberty in New York, which ranks second. Included in the improve ment plans are a new visit center and museum overlook ing picturesque San Diego harbor and a change in loca tion for a historic statue, of Portuguese explorer Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo. Cabrillo's landing on the point in 1542 marked the first contact by Europ'eans with this part of the New World. The statue, which was pre sented to the United States by Portugal in 1940, will be moved a quarter of a mile away from its present loca tion near an old Spanish lighthouse to make way for the other improvements. There are 69.3 per cent of the world's passenger cars in the United States. Nialite, an alloy, is being used to make the propellers for the steamship President Adams. A propeller made of it weighs 12,000 pounds less than one made of manganese bronze and is expected to cut the ship's fuel bill by $13,700 per year. .
