They have none of their own. I was very warm and friend ly with both of them, but now I see it was a mistake. The man, Warren, recently started getting fresh with me. He made all sorts of shocking proposals. I just couldn't be lieve that it wa? happening and I ran out of the room. ' When I told my husband, he .was ready to murder him. He says he'll have nothing fur ther to do with them. But this will break his wife's heart. . I wonder if I made a mistake in telling my husband. - i - Jo R. -"When Betty said I was ready to murder War ren she wasn't exaggerating felt like strangling him with my bare hands. How could a middle-aged man do a thing ; like that and with my wife, no less. He doesn't even have the excuse of having been drunk. I don t want to ever see Warren again. Of course, I feel sorry, for .his wife, Di- anne. I can't see what we can do except tell her the reason we aren't seeing them. She'll be upset, but I0just hate to have her think I don't care about her. At one time I thought this man was the salt of the earth. I felt closer to him than my own father and I wanted to be like him when I grew up. He certainly was very good to me when I was a boy and I don't want to be ungrateful, but what else can I do? Th Council: The first'thing both Betty and Joe can do is cool off a bit. We don't think Betty was necessarily wrong in telling her husband, but she was wgrong in telling it to him the way she evidently did. Probably Betty was fright ' : - : ...

A little more thought would have made her recognize that this man was somewhat unbal anced emotionally at the mo ment. Certainly she must avoid him for a time, but she didn't have to fly to her hus band and ring in a fire alarm - unless she was in actual physical jeopardy. , Joe needs to simmer down and recognize that Warren may still be "the salt of the earth" in man7 ways. He is still the man who protected a homeless boy. An incident like this is not isolated, however. There must be other signs that Warren is upset emotionally. Probably he has been indulging in other incidents and in fantasies of this nature. His wife -must be more or ?ess aware of this. If the wife is told the full story she may feel forced to defend her husband and this would cause an irreparable break in this relationship. Or the wife may feel so ashamed that she'll want such a break. We think the best policy in this instance ma; be to avoid contacts with this couple, but to remember them with gifts, cards and calls on special occasions. It is very likely that the wife will surmise the reason for the rift. Eventually Warren may re gain command of himself and may indicate it in some way, perhaps in, a direct apology to Betty or . by some indirect sign. Betty and Joe should consider the present break partial and temporary. (Copyright 1959, General Features Corp.)

Legend of Bad Luck For Hope Diamond Owners Persists Washington - !DPD - Legend has it that the Hope diamond is strictly bad luck-for who ever owns it. Through the years tragedy has followed in the path of the fabulous stone. The first owner of the 44-and-a-half carat diamond - a French adventurer - is believ ed to have been killed by a pack of dogs. Next came a princess who was beaten to death by a I French mob. Louis XVI and Marie An toinette possessed the Hope, and. they expired on the guil lotine. Another French family came by the diamond. They. were wiped out in a fall over a cliff. It looked as if the spell was broken when Henry Thomas Hope got the stone. Hope died a normal death. But his grandson died penniless, and his wife ended up scrubbing floors for a living. Son Killed The diamond's first Ameri can owner Washington host ess Evalyn Walsh McClean -survived the Hope. But her son was killed in an auto crash, her husband died' in a mental institution, and her daughter from an overdose of sleeping pills. Gem dealer Harry Winston purchased the Hope in 1949 and gave it to the Smithson ian Institute last year. Win ston apparently beat the le gendary bad luck that shad ows the diamond, but then came James G. Todd. When Winston mailed the stone to Washington from New York, it was postman Air Force Quits Aleutian Route Travis " AFB, Calif. -TOPD-The Air Force has abandoned the North Pacific Aleutian is lands route to Japan in favor of the San Francisco to Japan route via Hawaii and Wake Island, it was announced Monday. A six-month trial which showed costs per ton mile to be higher than cargo filghts from Travis cinched the de cision to change the Military Air Transport Service routes. "Anv advantage gamed by shorter flying time over the North Pacific was offset by poor weatner, ' saia ividj. Gen. Russell L. Waldron, commander of the Western Transport Air Force Service here. McChord Air Force Base, Tacoma, Wash., would have been the center of cargo op erations if the North Pacific route had proved superior. Mother Rescues Tots From Flames Portland-UPD - A Portland mother grabbed her baby from a bed, and herded two older sons out of their Home Vipfore the ceiling of their living room collapsed in flames here Tuesday. Mrs. Robert Russell told of ficers that one of the boys ran in and told her the ceil ing was smoking. Her hair was singed as he dashed from the house with the children. Firemen said the blaze, which . caused some $7,500 damage, was caused by defec tive wiring in the attic. Pay in Institution Uo To Control Board Salem-dJPD-The State Board of Control is required by law to decide if and how much a person in a state institu tion must pay for his own care, Attorney General Rob ert Y. Thornton reaffirmed Tuesday. . The courts used to decide, hut under a 1959 law. the board now may decide. Its decision will be based on the ability of the patient or his relatives to pay. If the board cannot decide, it may resort to the courts, Thornton said. Drain Man Crushed By Heavy Machinery Drain-dlPD - Dean Franklin Russum, 43, Drain, was fa tally crushed late Monday in an industrial accident near here. Authorities said he was pinned between heavy con struction machinery at a new mill site. He was employed by Smith River Logging company. Eleanor Rathbone, the so cial reformer who died in 1946, was the first woman elected .by acclamation to Britain's Parliament in 1929. Todd who delivered it to the Smithsonian. Todd claims he isn't super stitious and never will be. But since he delivered the Hope last November, here's what's happened to him. -His leg was crushed by a truck; -His wife, mother of four, died from a heart attack while Todd was recovering; Thrown From Car He was thrown from his car in an accident, suffering a head wound; -Todd's dog strangled him self when he plunged through a basement window while leashed to a tree; -Four rooms in Todd's su burban Maryland home were gutted by fire. But the postman firmly de nies the diamond had any thing to do with it. "I don't believe any of that stuff," he says. In fact, Todd looks at it this way: "Perhaps I'm actually having good luck. Thank God all four children were out side instead of inside when the fire hit." Since the government is now the keeper of the Hope diamond, Todd has this word of warning: "If the hex is supposed to affect the owners, then the American public should be having a run of bad luck." , Even you are a part owner of the fabulous Hope diamond.

Watkins cle and makes man a clumsy bungler in the realm of bio logical fact. This insect mate rial we call "royal jelly"; so far it has defied chemical analysis. This substance is probably secreted by glands in the head of the worker bee, that under the proper conditions existing in a : bee colony, : ' will produce and nourish a Queen bee.- Because this substance is the sole food of the Queen bee, it received its name, for the Queen bee is truly a a Queen in every sense of the word. She is royalty in a golden castle, waited on by a host of devoted subjects. She is the mother of the hive. Solely due to her efforts the number of wax makers, pollen gatherers and hive roustabouts is kept up to the proper numerical strength. Controls ' Population She controls the population of the hive. Yet she has noth ing to do with the administra tion of the colony, or nothing to say about the divisions of bee classes which are to be developed from the eggs she lays. Her sole duty is to lay the eggs; each egg she lays is quickly carried away by a worker and placed in a cell where it can be watched by other workers who will de cide whether the resultant baby-bees will be workers, III" " ' Now you can see them the Finest Fords of a Life time!

Actually the Queen is an egg laying machine, turning out bee eggs on a production line basis and at an unbeliev able rate. She can produce as many as 3,000 eggs in a 24 hour period. That's 125 eggs an hour, or about two every minute. She can keep this up for about five years, thereby producing in her lifetime nearly 6 million eggs. She ac complishes this on "royal jelly," her sole food supply; a substance made from the pol len of flowers, dew from plants and secretions from bee glands smaller than the human eye can see. All Alike The eggs of the Queen bee all look exactly alike, as sim ilar as "peas in a pod." But by some wild "knowledge," certain fertile eggs are destin ed by some unknown instinct to become Queens. When the larvae hatch from these se lected eggs they are fed gen erous amounts of royal jelly, which produces . tremendous stimulation, bringing about extraordinary growth and a Queen bee results.
