come one of the most popular dairy products, he predicted. Control of bacteria will do the job, Tuckey said. He explained that all cheeses are made with various types of microscopic organisms. “Under the old system, we just put all kinds of bacteria in the cheese and some stunk up the place. Now we just put in the unsmelly kind,” he said. Pasteurized milk with 99.9 per cent of the bacteria removed, he said, will be used to make the new, improved limburger.

COLUMBUS, 0.—Ohio’s pretty Dairy Queen, 24-year-old Evelyn Priddy of Pickerington, knows from experience that the old adage about leading a horse to water applies to a calf, too, even though the plaster cow in the background offers real grade A pasteurized milk. The synthetic cow, used in the demonstration of modern milking machines, only served to frighten the calf, who apparently preferred its own flesh-and-blood mother.

George E. Metzger, field secretary of the Illinois Agricultural Association, elected himself to speak for the farmer. “I can see all sorts of trouble ahead if a man can just take wing and make it rain when he feels like it,” he said, looking out at a cloudless August sky that gave no promise of rain. “Say farmer Whipplewhupper lives next to farmer Whupperwhipple,” he said, taking a hypothetical case. “Well, Whip has a fine field of com which is gasping for a good, hard shower. So he takes his plane out of the barn and goes up, maybe 16, 17-thousand feet. He makes it rain good. “Whip’s corn drinks it in. That’s fine for Whip. But Whup has a field of hay which he happens to be cutting that day. The hay doesn’t need any rain. But Whip can’t wet his corn, without also spilling some of the wet onto the next field — the hay field of his

neighbor.

“In fact, it rains so hard Whup has to giv up haying for the day and mend some fences. See what

I mean?”

Metzger said, the way he looks at it, the only way a phony shower codld benefit mankind would be if you could tie it in a small package — like frozen beans. Weatherman H. A. Downs is inclined to go along with the farmers and their views, although he is convinced artificial precipitation, if controlled, would be a

fine thing.

“The way I look at it,” he said, “Mother Nature has something to | say about rainfall, man made or “ T

otherwise.

“First, to manufacture rain, you have to have a special kind of cloud. What if that cloud is over the city, which doesn’t need rain? You can’t push it out in the

country.

“Next, you have to have a plane that can go up to about 17,000 feet. Once up, you have to start cloud-chasing. Takes a pretty fast plane to catch a cloud. “And once you catch it, you can’t steer it. Clouds are con-

trary.”

So are weathermen. Today’s forecast — hot and dry. o

think men 18 to 23 were the most

attractive.

But that was a long time ago, she said. Now, after 28 years of matching widows and widowers, she thinks 60 to 70 is the ideal

age.

“An older man has had his flaming youth—but he’s still going strong,” she said. “He’s more settled and doesn’t expect too

much.

“But these young men. Oh! they’re so conceited.” Actually an older man has a lot more to offer than a “gay young blade,” she said. He’s wiser, is a better companion, has more money and doesn’t drink so much, she added. “A lot of men are more fascinating at 75 than their 25-year-old grandsons are,” she Said. Mrs. Stull, accompanied by‘her husband, was en route to Denver, where she hopes to arrange a match between a 78-year-old Coloradan and his 60-year-old ,?weetheart-by-mail. She said she started her “Matrimonial Bureau” when her mother was widowed many years ago. Mama got so lonesome,” I decided to help her,” she said. “I was so successful I decided to keep right on helping people find

New York. — At least five “copies” of Princess Elizabeth’s wedding gown were on view in New York today, priced from $500 to $1,50P. No two were alike. Working from newspaper photographs which gave little of the gown’s embroidery detail and published sketches which didn’t agree, the four manufacturers and one custom designer whose dresses have been viewed have dreamed up five different versions. Each maker claims his inside information proves he is right. All, at least, have used white satin, with sweetheart necklines, long sleeves and lots of pearl and crystal embroidery. No two agree on the looks of a rose and the skirts of most vary.

To End Smell In Limburger Cheese

Champaien, 111., Dec. 4. — They’re going to take the smell out of limburger cheese. Stewart L. Tuckey, University of Illinois professor of dairy manufacturing, today announced a new scientific process to make limburger cheese taste like it smells without smelling that way. ‘‘The outcast of cheeses doesn’t need to be spurned any more,”^ Tuckey said. “It can be deodor-

ized.”

He promised that the new nonsmelling limburger cheese would ‘become an accepted dish in society for the first time since it was made in Limburg, Belgium, several centuries ago. It will be-

Kansas City, Mo.—Henceforth, employees of the City Bank and Trust Co. will dally over a doughnut as well as a dollar. What’s more, they’ll do it in a penthouse, air-conditioned. With the doughnut will go free coffee. It’s part of the new building housing the bank. The penthouse, reached by a private elevator, will be used by the bank’s 250 employees. Lunch will be offered at cost. When a stenographer is through sipping her soup, she can take a swing at suffleboard or bad-

minton.

For those more interested in mind than muscle, the bank offers a lounge and reading room. The shuffleboard and badminton are played on a sundeck landscaped as a patio garden.- It is surrounded by a white picket fence, and blossoming out of the black earth atop the roof are And if that isn’t enough to mend the tattered mind of a teller, there is lounge furniture and a liberal sprinkling of beach umbrellas for those who simply want to watch. Below is the business part of the bank, as modern in decoration as the penthouse, but down there it’s all dimes and dollars.

Man If Trained Smarter Than Dog

Chicago, 111. — Man is smarter than dog—if man is properly trained. That’s from a man who knows a lot about both men and dogs, Clarence M. Clester who runs a private school for dogs here. He said today that training a dog is easy, but training the master how to handle the dog after it has been to school is the tough part. “We train dogs to shake hands, to lie down and play dead, to cry and to “speak,” he said. “We even do a job of house breaking for a price. But after we give the dog a diploma, w£ have to start all over again and train the owner.” v Clester maintained there are a feW simple rules to training dogs. All you’ve got to do is to teach the pup you are the boss, then start in. For instances, training a hunting dog. You shoot off a gun and then put a pan of food in front of him. Very soon a dog

' “Ancieait and Modem Nec mancy, Alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Chrst, Scientist on Sunday, November 30. „ The Golden Text was: “Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord” (Jeremiah 29: 8, 9). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: “But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles” (Acts 13:45, 46). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Persecution of all who have spoken something new and better of God has not only obscured the light of , the ages, but has been fatal to the persecutors. Why ? Because it has hid from them the true idea which has been presented” (p. 560).
