"They wouldn't take kindly to a stranger sa shaying into their cage." "That's all right," said' the publicist airily. "My boss is such a hound for publicity, he wouldn't even notice." Once upon a time there was a snail, relates Simons Roof, who set out on a chill winter morning to climb the trunk of a bleak cherry tree. As he painfully inches his way upward, a beetle poked his head out of a hole and advised him, "You're wasting your time, friend. There aren't any cherries up there." But the snail didn't stop moving for a second. "There will be when I get there," he pointed out. "Experience," suggests Ralph Peterson, "is what enables you to make the same mistake again without getting caught." 1962. by Bennett Celt. Distributed by King Feature!

It was a false alarm. Firemen said they received a call at 6:25 a.m. from a pay phone that there was a mat tress fire in room 9 of the State Hotel. Ladder trucks, rescue rigs and pumpers streamed from the main fire station. There wasn't even a whif of smoke, firemen said. They then began a check of all downtown hotels in case a wrong address had been call ed in. They could find no fire. The department said "we receive maybe 25 false alarms a year, but this is the first one involving a hotel." f Y MM-M-N.' t IST?'?

It is not necessary, how ever, to revise Shakespeare in order to find appropriate pas sages. His works abound with them.

MEDFORD. OREGON The Medical (fa Ii Cancer Contageoua I often say in this column that I know of no good evi dence to prove that cancer is c o n t a gious, but still let lers keep com ing from peo ple who are very fearful that they or their children will "catch" the disease from a grand mother or a Alvarez neighbor in the next house. I have known hundreds of men and women with a cancer who for years slept in the same bed or the same room with a spouse, and they never passed on their cancer. On rare occasions, one hears of a "cancer house" in which several persons have cancer, but this may not mean anything, because with a dis ease as common as cancer there must be some houses in which two or more persons happen to have the disease at the same time. We must remember also that some very busy surgeons operate almost every day to remove one or more cancers, and they do not "catch" the disease. The best proof that cancer is not catching is that a bit of cancer tissue can be put under a man's skin and it will not grow there. This experiment was carried out recently with 100 "lifers" in a prison, who volunteered for the work. Cancer is not contagious. but is it hereditary? What is the cacfeausonc the cause of cancer? Is there any good laboratory test for cancer? Dr. Alvarez discusses these and many other ques tions in his booklet, "What We Know About Cancer." You may obtain a copy by sending 25 cents and a stamped, self-addressed en velope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez. Dept.

Stretch Marks On Skin Women sometimes write asking why they have wide and unattractive stretch marks on their skin stretch marks which may have been much of a good thing? It is meat and drink to me." Q. What is your opinion of the income tax form now in use? A. "Confusion now hath made his masterpiece. For my own part, it was Greek to me." Q. Have you had some trouble with the tax col lector? A. "No man's pie is freed from his ambitious finger. He hath eaten me out of house and home. He thinks too much; such men are danger ous. Forty thousand brothers could not. with all their quan tity of love, make up my sum." Q. Did you cheat on your tax return? A. "To be hones' as this world goes is to be one man picked out of ten thousand. Some of us will smart for it. You yourself are much con demned to have an Itching palm." Q. So if the President rec ommended a tax cut, you would approve? A. "I would applaud thee to the very echo." The Entrance ORES Roundup Emeritus C' ontuIUnt In Mtdlcln Mayo CUnlc Emeritus Pro(eor of Medlclnt Mayo Clinic (Reenter and Trlbuna Syndicate, 19S2) due to once having been quite stout and then later having reduced weight. Bad stretch marks on the abdomen are usually due to the fact that the woman has had one or more child. What some of these women want to know is why certain friends of theirs who were once stout or had child have no such skin markings. I suspect that the difference is in the inheritance of good elastic tissue in some women. I do know that some women, after having had a child, have badly scarred abdominal wall, while others have no scars at all. I suspect that the woman with no stretch-marks has "younger tissues than have those women who are distressed with marks. I do not know of any way of get ting rid of the stretch marks except by an operation. But this would be a big operation, and it would leave scars, per haps almost as ugly as the stretch marks. When Two Drinks Bring Relief Every so often I see pa tient who tells me of vague discomforts, perhaps in the digestive tract or abdomen, or skin or chest. He may say he has been well examined in big clinics and nothing has been found that throws any light on his trouble. Perhaps he has had his distress off and on for many years; he has seen many doctors and tried many medicines, but without results. Sometimes, while asking him what brings on his distress, I learn that it comes most often during so cial contacts, for example, when he goes out to dinner or takes a young lady out for the evening. This statement will immedi ately make me suspect that the distress is due to nervous tension, and I will be sure of it when the man goes on to sav. "You know, this is curi ous, but if I take two drinks, my distress is gone, and I can have a pleasant evening Alcohol cures him because it is a sedative and a tranquili zer: it can relax nervous ten- sion, and it can put him at his ease. There, is a danger to this however. The person, on finding that alcohol will make him the social and friendly and approachable person he wants to be, may get to taking too much of it. In her book, "I II Cry To morrow, ' Lillian Kom tens of an evening when she dis covered that alcohol could make of her the social and lovable person she wanted to be. It is too bad that on that evening no one was there to tell her that just because alcohol could do such a won derful thing for her, she should never touch It again. Some wives write me to say that they lose their fri gidity and can be normally affectionate after a couple of drinks. Sometimes people will tell me that two drinks will cure their itching hives, and then questioning may reveal the fact that the skin trouble came with some strong emotion. Portlander in Jail On Charge of Murder Portland -JUPfl- Howard Wil son, 43, Portland, was being held in the city jail here today on a charge of murder follow ing the fatal stabbing of an other man Sunday. Wilson was accused in the death of Raymond Wilcox, 30, Portland. Police said the stab bing occurred outside a north west Portland tavern after an argument about a pool game. 12 Not By Accident. This Dog Finds Her Place in tha Sun There were those who did n't believe It, even after wit nessing the performance with their own eyes. Even the little dog's mistress had reserva tions. She, too, figured it must be more accidental than plan ned. Still, the evidence was there, the little dog was real and what she was doing was very logical. She was a small dog of mix ed ancestry. She had been lost once, had been an inmate of an animal shelter. Later, her board-bill had been paid and she came to live with a small family in the suburbs. Like all pups she rapidly adjusted her self to the whims and habits of her new owners, learning what they expected of her ind usually succeeding in pleas ing them. Like most dogs in new sur roundings she made her selec tions: chose her favorite per son, her preferred location for her frequent naps and whose bed she would sleep beside at night. Amusements During the days she amused herself in the fenced-in back yard. She dug holes, buried bones, chased sticks and spent hours worrying a rubber rat. Always, like all her kind, she was mysteriously conscious of time. She took her nap always at one o'clock and slept until three, curled up on the cush ion of an aluminum chair that was part of the porch furnish ings. She knew exactly how to curl herself on the cushion to attain the most comfortable position. Occasionally the chair was moved (when the housewife swept the porch floor), but regardless of where it was, it was always the chosen chair for the midday nap, for that chair held the body-contoured cushion. Unnoticed by the little dog the sun marched across the sky; the golden days of sum mer slipped away into the limbo of time; the air became a little chill. Instead of avoid ing the sun, as she had all sum mer, the little dog now sought its failing warmth. When the body-contoured cushion in the aluminum chair was in the shade of the porch roof, the little dog shivered in her sleep. Frequently she would inter rupt her nap to go out again Exciting New TOY REINDEER Vinyl Inflates to 2 ft. Tall Another big value - from Signal! "Randy the Reindeer"., for kids from 1 to 60.

Missed Sun Always thoughtful of the dog's comfort, the dog's mis tress tried to leave the chair where the sun's rays would hit the cushion during the time of her nap. Then, on an unusually cool day, the little dog romped and played in the yard. Nap -time came. She ceased her play and crawled up into the contoured cushion. The sun's rays slanted through the screen but missed the chair by a couple of feet. The dog shivered, recurlcd herself, but the shadow of the porch still hid the warming rays. The housewife looked out her kitchen window when she heard the chair being noisily knocked across the porch floor. The dog was hit ting the chair with her fore feet, until the sun shone on the cushion. Thinking it was an accident the housewife, next day, pur posely left the chair in the shade. She waited. Nap-time came. The dog tried the chair: too cold. The housewife watch ed. The dog jumped down, turned and began hitting the chair until the sun shone on the soft cushion. Skeptical friends came on following days to watch what they couldn't believe, and, they too, witnessed a little dog working hard to "find her place in the sun."
