BESIDE DUCK-HUNTING do you know this brisk ‘November weather is good for the popcorn business?

‘corn js eaten, That's not my opinion, even though ‘I have eaten several sacks recently. That estimate comes from & man who started popping corn in 1893, "He is still popping corn today, at the age of 76, in his store at 133 N. Illinois st. Thomas H. Komstohk began his long career in popcorn because a neighbor in Cleveland, O. was making a pretty. good living selling it. In those days a mam- pushed his business establishment around the streets, In other words —a cart. In 1003, Mr. Komstohk opened up a stand six feet wide and seven feet deep at 125 N. Illinois st. At one time he operated eight: stores. In this city there were four. There was one in Milwaukee, two ar Louisville, and one in Columbus, O. In 1930 when ~ the depression settled down in earnest, Mr. Kom- | stohk went out of business for 10 years. In 1940 he | again started popping corn at his present location. | Between handsful of popeorn—he eats it every day— || he told me how the business had changed over the © years. For instance, popcorn balls have gone out of style. They just won't sell. In 1940 he made a batch just to see how they would sell. It was 48 hours before he sold one. Three days later the remainder went into the ash can. People don’t buy popcorn for stringing on Christmas trees any more. In five years, only one person bought some for stringing. He remembers how he used to string it, let it dry good, and then sell it by the yard. Speaking of Christmas, Mr. Komstohk said two weeks before and two weeks after Christmas is a bad time for his business. “They just don't buy as much. Maybe it’s because most of the spending money goes into gifts. Another slow period is about tax time. Yep, I can notice the difference here.”

Sells Better While Popping

HERE'S SOMETHING to remember the next time you are sitting in a theater and getting hot under the collar because someone is rustling a bag of popcorn. Some customers deliberately ask for a noisy, crackling bag for the movies. Mr. Komstohk does not carry special bags for this purpose. The middle class buys the most popcorn. Older folks buy more than children. Often a woman will come in for a bag of popcorn and then try to hide it, but you “can't hide a bag of popcorn very well.” Sales come faster when the popper is actually throwing out the white corn. “Customers like to see it made and when they buy it hot—they know it's fresh.” Theres a lot more to popcorn than meets the eye. Did you ever wonder what makes the kernel pop? Well, the kernel holds moisture. For best result there should be 12.5 per cent moisture, It it’s too dry, the heat won't generate enough steam for the kernel to work up the right amount of pressure and burst open into a big tender hunk of corn. Too wet—the kernel makes a nice big pop and not much of anything else. There's also popping volume to contend with. For example, if 50 cc. of unpopped corn gives 1200

Alphabet Woe

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Now comes the worst shortage of all, Not enough letters in the alphabet. We are running out of call letters for radio stations. An international conference on this crisis is in the offihg. If that doesn’t work, the only recourse is to the little man who names sleeping cars.

This is not funny. The federal communications commissioners are worrying. And well they might. The Mississippi river divides our radio stations into four-letter calls beginning with “W” in the East and “K” in the West—with some exceptions. We now have better than 100,000 licensed radio stations, including station KOP operated by the police in Detroit, and that’s about the limit. (Take that any way you want, KOP.) There are only 1800 combinations beginning with “W” left. The “K” situation is little better. We still have about 5000 of those, but every time a new ham goes on the air, or another taxi company installs cab-to-shore telephones, there goes another precious letter, I have been checking this sorry shortage with the commission and before we go any further we'd better clear up the Detroit “kop’s” station KOP which should be, under the regulations, station WOP. The “kops” snuck in and grabbed that “K” east of the Mississippi before the government began divvying up the alphabet. So did numerous other radio stations, including KDEKA in Pittsburg.

Chose Own Names

IN THE OLD days, when the alphabet still had plenty of letters, most stations chose their own. That explains station WACO in Waco, Tex. and station WIOD in Miami Beach, Fla,

Science

HARVARD UNIVERSITY proposes to meet the challenge of the post-war age of atomic energy and other scientific. progress by the creation of a “science city” within the university. At its heart will be 4 new Science Center building, President James B. Conant, himself a worldfamous scientist, announces. This building is to be erected upon a site which will make it an actual, physical connecting link between several laboratories now in existence. Other new laboratories. will be built nearby. Eventually it is planned to have all the Harvard scientific laboratories concentrated in an area about 2 quarter of a mile in radius. However, President Conant’s plans extend beyond the mere physical grouping of new buildings. By centralizing teaching, study and research facilities which are now widely spread, it is anticipated that there will be greater efficiency in both teaching and research. It is expected that the new center will bring scientists of many categories into closer association so that they may co-operate more easily and quickly. A freer flow of scientific ideas among scientific men within the university is expected to result.

Electrical Machine Computes Figures LABORATORIES WHICH will be located strategically near the new science center will include the new computation laboratory and the new “cyclotron house.” . 2 The computations laboratory houses the famous Harvard “mechanical mathematician’s brain,” an electrical computing machine capable of solving in minutes problems @¥ such complexity that a man

My Day

NEW YORK, Tuesday.—I did not write about Armistice day yesterday because I had a curious feeling that I had to stop dnd think through what this day really should mean to all of us. When the armistice came at the end of world war I, I was still youngish. I remember the wild elation at the thought that all of the soldiers would soon be home. Above all, I remember the ‘determinatign of the younger people that the war just won should really be “a war to end war.” Year by year since then, we have observed Armistice day, but its real meaning gradually faded away. Some of the young people used it as a day for demonstration against war, but, these youngsters were sometimes used by extremist groups. : Their natural desire for peace forced them into exaggerated stands which often brought them into disrepute. with people who felt they should have had older heads on young shoulders.

Grew Too Complacent THE FACT remains, however, that we became so apathetic and so indifferent to what was happening in the world, that world war II marched steadily toward us and we did nothing to prevent it. When some of our statesmen saw that it was inevitable, they bent every effort to make the absolutely necessary preparations for defense, but even then, "there was no recognition in the country of hat world war II would mean, : :

BUSINESSMEN, trying to pick up a legitimate dollar of their own, are getting hooked on the “cus-tomer-in-distress” swindle, the Better Business Bureau reports. In this racket, the swindler will telephone from a city like New York to a Chicago firm identifying himself as one of the firm's big customers from Wyoming. He is, he says, vacationing in New York with his family and someone just lifted his wallet, leaving him penniless, He is about to take a plane home and doesn’t know what to do. Can his Chicago friend identify him to someone in New York who can advance a hundred or so in cash?

THE CHICAGO businessman knows-the- Wyoming firm is a goodcustomer, He calls someone in New York, arranges for delivery of the needed cash to the customer-in-distress, and that's the last either of them see of the “customer.” The alleged will of Sir Francis Drake and a chance to share in his vast but mythical estate cost U. 8. victims $1,300,000 just a decade ago. And the gullible are still looking for a cut in the “Baker estate” in Philadelphia, Baker, a surgeon in George Washington's army, supposedly was given 5000 acres of prime Philadelphia real estate by his grateful commander-in-chief, and the swindlers claim Baker's estate (which would include the U.

He was asked to come ment on the proposal of Basil ‘Manly for a year's truce between employers and unions fo promote production, __Mr. Truman replied he had not read the Manly proposal but that he had been urging such a plan since Aug. 14, 1945. The President added Mr. Manly was late in gets’ ting on the bandwagon with the industrial armistice idea. . » » MR. TRUMAN apparently referred to the fact that several times since VJ-day he had asked mane, agement and labor to put their shoulders to the wheel for maximum peacetime production. He was obviously disappointed by the wave of great strikes that started before reconversion had made much headway. The President's latest reference to the subject was last Saturday. In his announcement of the end of wage controls and most price controls, he stated: “The lifting of price controls and wage controls results in the return to a free market with free collec tive bargaining . . . Today's action places squarely upon management and labor the responsibility for working out agreements for the ade. justment ‘of their differences withe out interruption of production.” ¥ » - THE PRESIDENT'S labor-man« agement conference, which sat for more than two weeks last November, had this subject on its agenda, but it failed to agree on much more than the theory that industrial peace would be highly desirable.

| Neurotic patients should not ex[roe physicians to make endless tests to discover the cause of their {difficulty. It is much better for {them to spend their time and money telling the physician what is worrying them so that he can help them. ! A young veteran who developed signs of heart trouble due to anxiety over his job was given an examination by his physician at the first visit and was told he was organically sound. When his physician learned what was worrying him, he urged him to go back to work without fear of injuring his heart, but to come back for help in dispelling his anxiety. Such advice is good and should be followed unquestioningly by the neurotic patient.
