Yyou make 4 Last February, Raymond A. Kern, 4342 N. La Salle St., made six snowballs and packed them carefully away. As a research worker in the department of physical chemistry of Eli Lilly & Co,, Mr. Kern had a fine appreciation for another , me. “There's only one person in the city who could —find-out how long a snowball will last in July,” } said Mr, Kern, as he formally commissioned me i to carry the work to its conclusion. He handed : me a paper sack with six snowballs, 4
Soft and Light
ALTHOUGH Qa. were packed carefully immediately after a snowstorm, Mr. Kern believes the six Speciuiéns have shrunk. He had them wrapped in cellophane, heavy cloth and paper. The first snowball I pinched felt as soft and light as the day it was made. They averaged about 2%; inches in diameter and weighed an ounce apiece. I ‘was the only * man on the Circle yesterday with a bag of snowballs. : The first part of the experiment consisted of placing two snowballs in front of the Canary . Cottage and watching the girls go by. One snowball was slightly over 2% -inches and the other was 2 inches, No one noticed the snowballs on the sidewalk. Pedestrians, that is. A Railway Express man wearing ‘a revolver on his hip was the only one to ask what was going on. He merely mumbled something when I told him it was July, I had snowballs and if he would stick around a few minutes he would know how® long they last, Some people can’t hold ‘still for new facts. Thirteen minutes and 42 seconds elapsed before the smaller of the two snowballs turned to water. Surprised? And it was about 87 degrees } inthe sun. The larger snowball was gone in 17 i minutes and 12 seconds. The sidewalk was sort of wet and blotched. I went to University Park to continue my work. One snowball was placed on the grass in the -sun. Another was placed .in the shade of a fine tree close to where I sat on a bench. Sidewalks must absorb a lot of heat. The snowball out in the sun was in good shape after 13 minutes. At about 15 minutes a visitor to the park almost stepped on the snowball. He would have if 1 hadn’t yelled. “Watch that snowball, sir,” I shouted to the man. He jumped a foot and continued across the park. The way -he glanced over his shoulder you'd think I didn’t have any snowballs. A couple of pigeons came over to investigate the white spots ori “the grass, but I shooed. them away. Pigeons ought to be prohibited in the park. If I'd had a few more snowballs ‘the pigeons would have -been targets.

NEW YORK, July 6—Most of the people I Pave talked to lately have seemed oddly apathetic about our new war—and fit is a war, complet® with battle fleets and airplanes, American GI foot soldiers and clattering tanks. Casualty lists and decorations will be released to the press soon—all the terminologies of war are already in the reports. I have talked to nobody who questions the right or the wisdom of our intervention in Korea; Everyone throws up his hands, shrugs, and mptters: “What else could we have done?” Mr. Truman is being roundly commended for his swift decisiveness. Gen. MacArthur is back in the communique business again. But the old ‘hysteria that was evident a dozen years ago, when the Germans began to march, doesn’t, seem to be present. There is a chance today that Russia might want to step in and slug it out for keeps—though the experts seem to doubt Ahis—and that off chance, alone, you'd think; would breed some frenzy or at least some tait excitement. But you don't find it, so far, and/ I think I know why.

WASHINGTON, July 6—Friend of mine is a divorcee (mental cruelty) just back from Reno. She reports that if the government has..got. to “finance ‘a gambling den; it couldn’t have made a better choice than the Hotel Mapes. It was, she said, a positive pleasure to Jose her money on the roylette tablés in the skyroom of this hostelry, which is backed to-the tune of $13 es niiiion by “Her Uficle Samiel. She did not realize “at the time that whenever the polite croupier raked in her chips (she usually played the red and lost) her Uncle had his hand out for his share,

"The Senators investigating the loan to the Mapes, part. of which went to pay for Reno's most luxurious gaming room, weren't so broad‘minded. They seemed to have the idea that the Reconstruction Finance Corp. had no. busi- - ness using the taxpayers’ money even indifectly to back a gambling hell. Legal or not. : The boss men-of the RFC squirmed and appeared anguished, while the Senators grew more sarcastic with each new question. The scene was such a sad and touching one that I took careful notes, with these results: “Just what was the public interest in this loan?" demanded Sen, J, William Fulbright (D. 2 Ark.). “A lot of people go to Reno for other purposes than gambling,” began Chairman Harley Hise of the. government's lending corporation. . “You mean you wanted to help the divorce industry?” interrupted the Senator. “I wanted to help marriages, too,” the dignified ehaliman replied.
