Michael, 9, and . two other youngsters had been left with an 11 -year-old sister, Janet, while their parents and other members of the family attended church. The youngsters told dep uties that Steven began to badger his sister. -Michael took an old shot gun from the closet of his par ents' bedroom, loaded it with one shell, and pointed it at Steven, apparently seeking to frighten him.

She probably could not survive the shock. This youngster would even scare himself as others see him. This little character is not only hideous, he is down right terrifying. He or she, as the biological difference may be, is the offspring of a moth which is rather plenti ful and known as the "prom inent." It has tufts of hair on the wing margins and all over the body, and has very long hair on all the legs enough hair, in fact, to prompt the peculiar name of "kitten moth." The insect is about as hairy as a cat. The moth's pair of fore- wings are dark brown, while the two rear wings are light yellow. The moth flics only by night. Chances are that sooner or later one will come to rest on your screen door some summer evening, at tracted by the lamplight in side the house. Biggar Surprise To be so hairy as to re semble a cat would be strange enough, but this moth has a bigger surprise in her bag of tricks, for it is the parent of one of the most grotesque in sect larva In all the world of Insects a world noted for its strangeness a id unusualncss, Here Is a larva that possess es ugliness so great and ac tions so terrifying he saves himself from being eaten. He is a genuine bugaboo in spite of his small size, an overall length of an inch and a half, and smaller in diameter than a man's little finger. He can even give a grown man a fright and in rare cases, ac tually injure him. The egg from which this character is hatched is laid in the litter of the forest floor. The newly hatched crea ture crawls forth to terrorize his own little world by his actions as well as his appear ance. He has a brightly color ed body, adorned with a few tufts of hair. He is hump-backed, with a badly swollen head. Between the head and the after part Does day-to-day meal skimping leave you VITAMIN HUNGRY? Too tired for dinner, ., hooij II 3p No time for lunch...

W ATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 19631 of the body is a red ring which stands out in a ridge. He has a long, forked tail which plays an important part In his actions. On either side of the larva's fore-end are two very black, conspicuous eye spots that resemble real eyes and add to his fierce ap pearance. Begins Feeding As if conscious of its safety from most enemies, the larva begins feeding on green leaves. However, a noise, a passing shadow or the violent jarring of a bush alerts the larva and he quickly makes himself terrifying. He raises the fore part of his body, wav ing it back and forth like a snake about to strike. He pulls his head down and back, which flattens out his fore end until it resembles a snarling face with two staring eyes. At the same time he waves his forked tail threateningly. As if all this .was not enough, the little monster spits a stream of poisonous fluid from his repulsive head for an inch or so. This fluid will blind a bird or probably kill a lesser creature. It would be a pretty foolhardy bird brave enough to face such a terrible looking object after such a terrifying experience. Anything as obnoxious or as frightening as the larva of the kitten moth deserves to be left alone.

What happened to such a per son was that, early in life a tiny tumor car"d an a d e noma started grow ing in the lit 1 1 c pituitary gland, which lies at the base of the brain and above the nasal cavity. Apparently such ade nomas produce too large an amount of the "growth hor mone." When one of those little tumors develops, usually the man's lower jaw enlarges; also his hands, his feet, his face, and his nose grow too big; and sometimes he gets a raucous voice. Fairly often he gets diabetes, and he loses his sexual drive. A young woman may have menstrual disord ers, or she may perspire too much. In most cases, after a while the little adenoma stops growing, and then the acro megaly remains stationary for life. Sometimes, when the un fortunate person is a woman, she is anything but happy about her homeliness. In these cases, when the doctor has an X-ray film made of the person's head, he will usually find the "sella turc ica , or Turkish saddlc-thc little depression in the floor of the skull which contains the pituitary gland-will be much enlarged. Occasionally, when the little tumor keeps growing, it so presses on the optic nerves as to cause blind ness in the outer halves of both fields of vision. It can also cause severe headaches. Years ago, brain surgeons used to go in and perform the very difficult operation of taking out the diseased pitui tary gland. Then my friend, Dr. John Lawrence, Director of the Donncr Laboratory at the University of California, discovered that h e could shrink up the pituitary gland by sending through the skull a powerful beam from the 184-inch cyclotron. This type of beam is five times more destructive of tissue than are X-rays. Helpful also in many cases can be the rays that arc given off by radio-active co balt. 'Coin-Lesion' in Chest Every so often, when a middle-aged or elderly per son's chest is X-rayed, per haps during a routine exami nation, a round shadow called a coin-lesion is seen on the film (a lesion is a bit of diseas ed tissue). Kor a while, lung surgeons felt (hat every lesion of this type should be re moved. They thought that even if the nodule was a metastasis-a daughter -growth from a cancer some where else in the body-its removal would cause the per son to live longer. Also, If the moduli should happen to be full of tubercule bacilli, it would be well to remove it. Lately, the enthusiasm for removing these lesions seems to have diminished I have just read "The San Francisco Report" on coin-lesions, and 1 find that of 400 patients with these round shadows in the lungs, seen at the Letter man Army Hospital in San Francisco, 5'J were operated on. The incidence of cancer among these 52 patients was only IS 4 per cent. The experts now report that today, with much ex perience, if 3 out of 8 X-ray specialists agree that a patient's coin-lesion docs not look cancerous, the patient had better nut be operated on. Perhaps It Is well not to operate even if 4 out of 6 MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON GAZJSlC'O J.

If I, personally, had a nodule in my lung which I thought was cancerous, and which almost certainly was a daughter-growth from cancer elsewhere, I would not care much to have it removed. I think I would refuse opera tion. Various kinds of cancer and their detection are discussed by Dr. Alvarez in his booklet, "What We Know About Can- cer." You may order a copy of the booklet by sending 25 cents and a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your request for it to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT, Box 957, Dcs Moines 4, Iowa. e Hope for Woman Who Cannot Become Pregnant Dr. Langdon Parsons of the Boston University School of Medicine recently reported that, with the help of a special electric instrument something like an electrocardiograph, a record can be made showing when a woman ovulatcs when a tiny egg-like ovum comes out of one of her ovar ies. Naturally, it is at this time that the woman is most likely to become pregnant. The new recording device is particularly helpful In those cases in which the woman's cycle is so irregular that it is very hard to guess when she ovulates. The exciting feature about this discovery is that by using the new instrument, 67 wo men out of a group of 164 who had for long tried and failed to conceive, became pregnant. Among the women who still failed after the records made with the instrument, 31 had too much diseased tissue in their pelvis, and 18 had hus band who were not very fertile. WaterVaporonMars Confirmed by Flight Palestine, Tex. - (UPn - A 1 trouble-plagued spate balloon survey of Mars confirmed the ; presence of water vapor and carbon dioxide on (he planet and may reveal "significant" new information about Earth's sister in space, scien tists said Monday. Dr. Martin Schwarzschild of Princeton university, di rector of the Stratoscope II project that sent the unman ned balloon to the edge of space with a telescope, re ported that preliminary re sults merely proved previous scientific beliefs about Mars. Schwarzschild and Dr. Har old Weaver of the University of California, said examina tion of tape-recorded informa tion in a little "blue box" and in the telemetry system of the balloon's payload un doubtedly will reveal some of Mars' secrets. "We hope to obtain signifi cant dala," Schwarzschild said. The balloon launched at Palestine, southeast of Dallas. !

Edited by Mrs. Alma Denny. (Copyright by General restorer rorp.) Wilma T. She keeps all family news to herself. Mrs. G. T. Why should I be the tale-bearer? : Wilma T. This isn't a world-shaking problem but it's darn annoying. I have a 78-year-old mother who's hale and hearty, maintains her own apartment, and also makes three trips a year around the country. During these forays, she visits my five brothers and sisters, and manages to see quite a number of cousins and friends, too. I stop in to see her every day when she's at home. Wouldn't you think she'd pass along the items of family news she picked up on her last trip, from Christmas to Washington's birthday? No. She hoards them. But she ex pects me to tell her anything I hear! I just got a card from my brother, for instance, say ing he won a promotion. My mother knew it but never told me. Mrs. G. T. I doubt whe ther anyone would tell me anything if they felt I was going to spread everything I heard from coast to coast. I wouldn't blame them. Wilma found out about the promo tion without me. That's how it should be. Her brother wrote her direct. Anything she's supposed to know she can find out directly from the person it happened to. She shouldn't count on me to be the family gossip reporter. Wilma shouldn't be snoopy. She's always trying to squeeze gossip out of me. She wants to read my letters, not just the ones I receive but the ones I write. I tell her to write her own and read her own. Whatever 1 know should stay with me. The Council: Mrs. T. is us ing tid-bits of family news the way the animal trainer uses hunks of fish for the seals. She withholds them to watch Wilma beg! Strange how behavior like this is the siring which pulls back the curtain on a sad mother - daughter situation which has been building, no doubt, for decades. To spot light the tensions, the hurt egos, let's invisage the oppo site a family where it's "all for one and one for all," as Gracie Fields- used to sing during World War II. Here, a telephone call to one is a telephone call to all, with the sign-off words usually, "Pass it along!" And letters turn into round-robins, being cir culated among the brothers and sisters except in rare instances where there's a good reason for containment. Ideally where egos are healthy and pettiness never rears its whiney head, it saves AVAILABLE Time life Insurance Company is making special in troductory offer of a $1000 Burial Insurance Policy, with Graded Death Benefits, FREE for 30 days, to readers of this publication in good health and under age 80.

Here we find Mrs. T.'s pettiness is set up as the roadblock to family unity and communion. "What you tell me," she's saying, "I won't tell anyone else, no matter how casual it is. At the same time, don't you dare not tell me everything you hear. And that includes you, Wilma!" With six children, does Mrs. T. really expect them to write six letters every time a baby cuts a first tooth, a roof gets fixed, a childhood friend turns up? Withholding such innocuous items is sense less. Only a woman who is desperate for power and at tention would clam up to that extent. Wilma should canvass the others. She may be able to get them to agree to instruct her mother to share the news, or pain of not getting any more. Only when specifically requested not to tell (and that may be rare) will Mrs. T. be justified in her smug attitude of "it's for me to know and you to find out." Hoover Receives Stanford Medal New York - IUPII - Former President Herbert Hoover to day received a solid gold medal from the btanford Alumni Association for more than 70 years of "distinguish ed service" to the University and the nation. Guy R. Neely of Phoenix Ariz., president of the associa tion, made the presentation at Hoover's suite in the Wal dorf Astoria Towers. It is called the Herbert Hoover Medal for Distinguished Serv ice and was established last year by the association. Hoover, who was a member of Stanford's first freshman class in 1891, has served more than 50 years on the uni versity's board of trustees. At Stanford he established the Hoover Institution, on War, Revolution and Peace. He also helped in planning the university's first Student Union, organizing the Food Research Institute and estab lishing the graduate school of business.

How to Achieve It Silence has been defined as the lack of sound; quiet as tha lack of distraction. Psychologists say that quiet is preferable, since some sound is necessary to our mental health. Research indicates that sound is present at all times. However, thera are many sounds that irritate and disturb us. These include office machines, traffic, voices, crying babies, distracting night noises, and many others. An electronic instrument has now been introduced which conditions objectionable noises and creates a tranquil en vironment for the subconscious mind. Called the CP Sound Conditioner, the new instrument shuts off disturbing noises with soft, constant sounds that relax and provide acoustical privacy. One of the most effective sounds is called whito sound. This is a composite of all sound frequencies audible to the human ear, blended at equal intensities. The unit offers a choice of white sound, modified white sound, rain and surf. There are many places where the CP SoundConditioner is useful ... in offices, in homes, or when traveling. In fact any place where noisy conditions exist. Students find it use ful for studying in noiseful surroundings. When exasperating noises occur during the sleeping hours it can mean the differ ence between restful sleep or sleeplessness. It is especially de sirable for those away from home when subject to strange or unusual sounds. The CP SoundConditioner is transistorized and operates on flashlight batteries. It is small in size, easily carried, and ideal for use when traveling. Be sure to see these attractive instruments at The Acorn Press, 325 North Bartlett, Medford, Oregon. Adv.
