The board's index of industrial productions, adjusted for seasonal factors, rose a solid two points in May to 123 from 123 in April the first increase in the index in two months. Output of major household dura ble goods continued to Improve in May, reaching 13 per cent above the December low. Recent studies by m 1 1 1 1 a r y sources, colleges and insurance companies show that the number of men in the six foot and over class has Increased so greatly that "extra longs" in men's wear can no long er be considered outsizes. Despite this new generation of giants, "Men's Wear" magazine reported that in the male popula tion between 35 to 65, 27 per cent fall Into the category of "stouts" weighing 165 pounds or more and measuring five feet eight and a quarter inches tall. Alert retailers are adding to their clientele by stocking ample sup plies of "extra longs." When these tall lads have finished growing up and start broadening out, look what it will do to the men's cloth ing business. Last year, for the eighth consecu tive year. Sears, Roebuck & Co. Invested an increased amount in newspaper advertising. Edward Gudeman, Sears' retail merchandis ing vice president announced the amount for the year as $36.3 mil lion, an increase over 1952 of 6.4 per cent. Sears continued to be the biggest advertiser' putting 81.4 per cent of the budget in newspaper space. Grocery stores have played a major part in keeping total retail sales at a high rate, while shifts in HAL NEW YORK Wl Any girl who fails to ambush a husband during the summer open season on ba chelors can soothe her pride by going to Africa and mowing down an elephant. Miss Beverly Putnam is organ izing the first all-girl elephant sa lari In history. The 49-day trip, starting Sept. 10, will cost S3.120. plus $214 for a hcense that "allows one elephant only." "But the Ivory from an elephant ordinarily sells for about 300," said Beverly practically, "So that should cover the cost of the license. It isn't necessary to buy an elephant gun. They can .be rented." Beverly, tall, pretty, dark-haired and 32, is no stranger to Africa. Since her childhood days in a con vent, she had dreamed of adven ture In far places. Last winter she threw up her Job with Scan dinavian Airlines to lead a group of 14 girls on a 38-day safari to Africa. The party, ranging in age from 37 to 60, included housewives, single girls, widows and divorcees. Two of the ladies took one long look at Africa, and headed back home. But a durable dozen stayed and had a fine time, banging away at the landscape. "Only 6 hunted with guns the rest used cameras," said Beverly. She herself bagged a buffalo, a tebra, two gazelles, a wildebeest and a hartebeest. Can a dozen or more - women actually have any fun together on a safari? "Of course they can," said Be verly. "We'll have 6 while hunters and 45 native boys in the partv. "We'll have hot wolcr at all times, plenty ol ice cubes (we take along a rclrlgeraton, home made Ice cream, and fresh eggs every morning. The native chef specializes In dishes such as People Do Read SPOT ADS -you a re I know of took the trip on Sunday and iveiv unguilty impressed, rlarlau and Mane Bosworih, over for a little speech making at the ham convention, stopped in on their way by and made very lavorable com ment.

Speaking of the amateur radio lans convention here reminds u that we should go out of our way lo be pleasant and courteous to Uie groups yho come here for their meetings. It's big business in case you hadn't noticed. Whenever a group hits town they buy a lot ot meals, a lot of hotel and motel accommodations and a 1 certain amount of merchandise. THE ROUNDS consumer buying of durable goods have been Uie chief causes of fluc tuations in retail sales levels dur ing the first four months of this year. According to Department of Com merce figures, almost one third of non-durable goods store sales and about one-fifth of total retail sales was accounted for by grocery stores. The Klamath-Deschutes Potato Promotion Council is out to get an increased share of this food dollar. It is going after it the right way looking at advertising as a tool for continuing use in selling the crop, in a program that goes hand in hand with the continuing one of raising a better crop. The Council, through Its agent. Pacific National Advertising Agen cy, is going after it the right way. It will advertise its superior type of potato, the Russet, and the su perior growing areas. Klamath and Deschutes. The name. Klamath, al ready represents potatoes from the Klamath Basin on both sides of the line. The advertising will go where the potatoes go, when the potatoes go, to particular consumer markets. It will be one program but it will be "Klamath Russets" in Klamath markets and "Deschutes Russets" in Central Oregon markets. ' Highest priced media that Is con templated for the advertising is the Los Angeles Times. The rate is Just 10 limes as much as the Herald and News . . and of course, the Times does have nearly 400,000 subscrib ers. COST OP LIVING MEMO: The Dun & Bradstreet Daily Wholesale Commodity Price Index of 30 basic commodities was 271.96 on Thursday. June 24, against 271.62 a week before. The Weekly Wholesale Food Price Index, representing the total of the price per pound of 31 foods in general use, rose five cents last week to (7.28. This is 10.8 per cent above the corresponding level of last year. BOYLE antelope soup and gazelle barbe cues. "The first three days are rough personality-wise. You average 50 to 75 miles a day in hunting cars, and your bottom gets real sore. The sun gets you down at lirsi, too, and sometimes the tsetse flies are bothersome. "But there is so much else to make up lor lt...the excitement during the day...the nights around the camplire, listening to the coughing of distant leopards and the howling of hyenas. "The women soon learn to get along if they are ever going to get along. Of course, sometimes there are some petty Jealousies. The fight to get seats next to the white hunters at dinnertime can become pretty fierce." However, the possibility of ro mance Isn't altogether ruled out. Africa is studded with all - male hunting safaris, and when they learn' that there Is an all . girl salarl roaming the veldt, too, well. The men sometimes like to ride over to our camp in the evening and discuss the day's shooting," said Beverly. But why an elephant salarl? "I can't explain the fascination of an elephant," said Beverly, "but he docs have a glamor. Tracking an elephant you are on foot, not In a car, and if he does turn and trample you, he can make a bigger mess of you in a shorter time than any other animal. "But the girls will always be under the protection of a white hunicr. He'll be at her side every moment." If this trip turns out well, Bev erly would like to run a scries oi low-cost safaris for the poor working girls of America.

Miller lived in our country at the time of its conquest by while men and before any attempt was made in the Klamath country toward giving the Indian some recognition to separ ate him from- the wild creatures of the wilderness. Writing in London, England, in 1873, Miller states: "I am constantly asked: 'does not the Government Interfere? Does not the Government take charge of these Indians alter hav ing taken their lands, and lakes, and rivers?' "Nonsense! The Government! The Indian Bureau, Indian Agent, or whatever you may choose to call that part of the North American Republic deputed to distribute red blankets and glass beads to the North-American Indian, had nol vet put in an appearance on the Klamat. I doubt if he has reached that particular portion of the in terior to this day." Joaquin always wrote Klamath as "Klamat." following his idol John C Fremont who used this spelling of the Klamath name. At times. Joaauin has lapses of memory when he "doubts" that the agents of the Indian department had reached "this particular portion of the Interior to this day.' since he had just completed telling a nara tive about Chief Worrotetot reject ing the orders of the Indian Su perintendent to go on the Reserva tion. But that's Joaquin '"h never lets a minor detail like that spoil his line pf thought as It would In the following paragraph. "When he (the Agent! does ar rtve be will find now only falling lodges with grass gwta? "J about the doorways: he will lind mounds all up and down the river that were made by a continual round of encampments reaching back to a time when the Chaldeans named the stars: he will find per haps an old woman or two, or a bent old warrior, sitting in rags and wretchedness, lamenting, look ing back with dimmed eyes to an other age, and that is all. "Twenty years ago (1853?) the Indians of the Forks of the Willam ette (near Eugene) rode by my fathers cabin in bands, single file, a mile, or Wo in length. They rode spotted horses, had gay clothes and garments of many colours. The squaws chanted songs of monotonus kind, not without some melody, as dream of going hunting In Africa," she said. Beverly also has hopes of lead ing further all-girl tiger bunts in mrti. nrt aU-sirl diamond dig ging expeditions to Venezuela. But she has temporarily ancivcu n plans for an all-girl voyage to harpoon whales. "A captain I discussed this with said a group of girls on a whaler would wreck the ship," he sighed.

"The whites were Insolent, It ts true, for had not the Government given them the land, and had they net Journeyed a long way to pos sess It? "Then the country was fenced up and their ponies could not get pastuiv: the lands were ploughed and the squaws could not get roots cr acorns. But worst of all, the whites killed or frightened off the game, and the Indians began to starve and die. Once or twice they undertook to beg. about the Forks of the Willamette, but the settlers set dogs on them, and they went back to their lodges and died off in a few years by thousands. The wurld wondered why the Indians died. 'They are passing away, said the substantial Idiot who edited the 'Star of the West.1 'They are a doomed race,' said the minister. I think they were.
