Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovola
WHICH foot do you prefer to use when you stép off a curb, Jeft or right? Now, now, don't scoff, the question merits a smidgen of attention.
‘Why, you're probably asking, would anyone:
concern himself with matter. Relaxation, friend. The atom bomb, H-bomb, taxes, the mess in Washington, in Europe and Korea have me whipped. I need a change of pace. Global matters will still be there tomorrow. , Before we focus on various and sundry ankles, sharper focus on fhe trim ones, please let nve caution you about stepping off curbs in the future, When the study was first undertaken, I didn't know which foot I used to step off a curb, Still don’t,
such an inconsequential
TT THE IDEAL WAY to conduct a study is to have the subject unaware of what is going on. My approach to a curb was natural enough at 20 feet. The closer I came, however, the more selfconscious the feet became. Which one would be first At five feet I thought the right foot was straining too much. The left foot wanted to be fair about it but when the right foot tried to sneak an advantage, lefty, in the true spirit of competition, wasn't going to be caught in mid-air. : Consequently, at the curb, there was a tussle. Both attempted to plunge over the curb at the same time, Imagine where that left the rest of me. Stymied, that’s what I was,
“CURB SURVEY—The left foot is the leader,
for men and women, when they step off.
It Happe By Earl Wilson
NEW YORK, Apr. T—Television is on the way out ... washed up . . . dead. Hollywood’ll soon kill it off with three-dimen-sional movies, Folks’ll be able to see not only width and length—but depth. Think of that— looking at Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe and Johnnie Ray three ways instead of two. “It'll make television look flat,” states Arch Oboler, who'll make the first three-dimensional . movie starting May 15. When he said flat, he didn’t especially mean flat-chested, but he included that, too. * You camera bugs who have the new stereorealist cameras know what I'm talking about, even if I don’t. Oboler says very soon the modern movie cameras will be obsolete (he hopes). “I'm looking for a 3-dimensional gal to play the lead,” he said, “and I'm having trouble.” “Some of the actresses are worried about us destroying the illusion they've created. They don’t want this world to see them as they really are... ‘ : id : “Now we'll be able to see around the gal, too
We tested one and afterward people said, ‘She
looks so thin, what happened?’ #1 took a good look at her. Well sir, she was a skinny wench.” Howard Duff will play the male lead. Hope Miller, a New York beauty, wife of Nat Kahn of Variety, will play a Portugee gal. She won't look flat, we'll positively bet. * > & MR. OBOLER’S contract with Natural Vision Corp., which controls the patents, and Polaroid, which has the film, provides that he can bring out a picture three months ahead of anybody. “That's my price for being a pioneer,” he said. “The Lions of Gulu” will be shot mostly in California, which; he says, is more African than Africa. ” “A water hole near my place in the Santa
Monica mountains reminds me<of one in Africa .

Americana By Robert C. Ruark
NEW YORK, Apr. 7—One of the imore delightful aspects of America is the popular belief that fighting men, capable of shoving a bayonet into a stranger’s belly, are in realtity darling children as soon as they wipe the blood off their hands and put on the dress uniform to go to town. In the only war with which ;
. I have been acquainted we
treated the mass military man as a kind of stunted kindergarten mentality. -We thought up delightful little games for him to play in his off-hours, and we told him that girls were
..apt to be dangerous and that
"whisky was wicked. We hit him with taffy pulls and square J dances at the USO. s A dispatch from abroad “= says that an Army Special Services ¢lub was recently indulging in something called a “daffy taffy pull” for the edification of the GI with time on his hands, and that such ;games as spin-the-bottle, human checkers, peanut pushing and finger painting are recommended by a Special Services magazine for the maks amusement of the off-duty warrior. I can imagine that these spirited sports will go a long, long way to reduce the venereal rate an those parts. : 80 far as T know we have never been realistic about our soldiers and sailots. We have been mawkishly sentimental about them, and we have credited them with a highflying set of ideals that they couldn't spell out even by moving the lips, and we always have regarded them as mama’s boys, weeping into the pillow for lack of delicate guidance.
~ p o> IT IS NOT so, one yo have removed mama's baby from mama’s influence, mama's baby can get Into assorted troubles that would curl mama's hair. And he gets into them exactly as he gets into them in his own home town, when mama is off to the bridge lunch and is not looking. The uniform only aggravates the potential. The thing about mama's baby, which makes him a good mean soldier, is that he has been chafing under supervision for a long time, and once he is free of it he hits out on his own. It never seemed odd to me that on Guam, in the last one, thers was always a Marine in every off-limits chamorro hut, and that the Red Cross quonset seeméd largely to be peopled with Red ‘Cross employees,
& 1 DO NOT hs if Te ever will face the fact that a young man, full of zip and vinegar, and with a uniform on his back. would rather pick up a dame or get drunk and disorderly or shoot ¢raps or start a fight than pull a chunk of taffy or play a parlor game. The boys that worked for _ ge. on a rather typically Mister Roberts kind of ship, averaged out at about 19. i They were without exception good, competent fighting sailors, and also without exception they were as ornery. a mob of rapscallions as ever
busted up a taxi.
ned Last Night
Which Is Your Lead-0ff Foot?
This happened on the southwest corner of Meridian and Washington Sts. Several pedestrians looked at me dublously and one man moved toward me with hands outstretched... When I smiled he moved on. Must have thought there was something wrong. Linc i FOUR TRIAL approaches wers made without success. Neither the right nor left foot wanted to give in. When the cop on the corner turned his attention to the activity on the curb instead of the flow of traffic, I decided to quit. Tomorrow evening, when he is gone, I'm going to step off that curb if 1 have to do it standing on my hands. Take the statistics given and forget’ about yourself. It would never do to have our citizens piling up at curbs in the city and not being able to step off. We have to keep moving, survey or not. The left foot, for both sexes, the old and young, is the ‘leader. Men came up with a ratio of 9 to 3. With 12 men stepping off a curb, nine will use their left foot and three will use their
right. Women come up with a ratio of just a wee bit
over two to one. If 25 women step off, 17 will use,
the left and eight will use their right. Count off 225 women and the check marks show 153, left, 72, right. Darned if 1 know why. . * + 9
THE CORNER of Meridian and Washington Sts. is a busy spot and the southwest corner is probably the busiest. I'm only human and making excuses is not my nature. However, this ought to be called to your attention. It is impossible to check 25 pairs of feet accurately when the policeman’s whistle puts them into motion. Persons who ran off or jumped off the curb, weren't included ‘in the survey. People who jump off curbs, for my money, are in the same class with motorists who turn around and talk to passengers in the back seat. They'll became statistics without my aid. It was interesting to observe curb-side folks waiting for the light to change. The left foot edges forward in many cases. A girl of high school age went so far as to hang her left foot over the edge. That must mean something but I can't figure out what. . oo
AN ELDERLY gentleman walked up to the curb with his right foot in position to go over. He made sure the “Walk” was on, looked in both directions and hesitated long enough for the left foot to get the jump on the right. A little different situation than what I had. His feet didn’t know they were being watched and that makes a survey of a different color. 80, don't get all worked up and frustrated at a curb. Just believe that we use our left feet more often to step off a curb; 3 to 1 for the men, 2to 1 for the women. : Now back to the H-homb and global problems. Let's see, two molecules plus two molecules equals , . .

that would charge me here would be a rabid sightseer.” You're right. Mr. Cooler’'s fairly enthusiastie, He merely says, “The industry has got to go for this. It's dynamite against television.” Mr. Oboler sighed deeply. “The problem is the perfect 3-dimensional gal, She’s got to have everything. She can’t be constructed as so many Hollywood stars are out of false bosoms, a special camera angle, a piece of gauze, and Max Factor.” ¢ 9 THE MIDNIGHT EARL . . .

The entire crew would have died of shame if any one of its membership had been caught in a USO-—unless, of course, they went there te start a riot, for laughs. ? . ! o& > & BEING a moral man of measured $bits, I do not approve of the bawdy high spirits that afflict the young, and as an ‘officer, I occasionally was forced to mete out disapproval according to naval regulations. But in three years of "working with gusty youngsters I never was able to effect an addiction for spin-the-bottle among my charges— not so long as the bottle had anything in it. Being a nation of hypocrites we will kill a few hundred thousand young men without batting an eye, but the mail begins to drown the congressmen when it is noised about that enlisted men have beer to drink. You might as well face the fact ‘that young men drink, too.

Dishing the Dirt ‘By Marguerite Smith
Q. T have a gardenia plant and the leaves are beginning to turn yellow, Can -you tell me Why? It has about eight buds, one about ready to open. I would appreciate any information you could give me on the care of it. Mrs. George Moulder, 347 8. State St. . A. Since you have accomplished what is practically a miracle (at least under household conditions without a greenhouse) of getting one of these winter blooming gardenias to flower, maybe I'm the one who should ask exactly how you did it. Seriously, though, the yellowing leaves are

probably a first sign of starvation. Chiefly for more iron. That's why gardenias like acid soil. So either give your plant manure water regularly. Or sprinkle a little iron gulfate (about 1; teaspoon) around it and water it in well Other pointers for readers who don't have gardenia thumbs are these-—~give the plants very rich humusy acid soil. Keep moisture in the air around the plant. {Another successful gardenia grower I talked to always keeps hers on saucers of pebbles with water always fn the saucers but not touching the pot.) And this winter blooming
type should have plenty of water the year around.

Seventh Message
By AUSTIN PARDUE Bishop of the Diecess of Pittsburgh ALL action, as far as we are able to discern, began in the heart and mind of God. ° The Bible and traditional theology have always held, that in the beginning there was absolutely nothing in existence but the mind of God. The book of Genesis begins: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God sald, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good. St: John's gospel opens in a similar vein, repeating the concept that all aetion began

“In the beginning was the Word (idea), and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not, There was a man sent from “od who name was John . . , to bear witness to the light, that all men, through him might believe.”

The only energy that existed was that of the good-God thoughts. He projected - His thought-energy into forms of vibrations which we call matter. Thus He objected His jdeas into outward creative form. All, therefore, that we look at in the outward world is the material form of God's thought. : Different types of matter, we are told by the physicists, are but variations. in the vibration of energy. This energy, we affirm, comes from the thoughts of God. The difference between and atoms of wood, the scientists tell us, can he ‘determined by the vibratory rate at which they are held together, ; It was Einstein who started

the world thinking in revolutionary terms of energy being transmutable into mass, or matter, whieh in turn, under certain conditions, could again be changed back into energy. Einstein summed this up in the famous equation E equals MC squared, We must stop a minute and look around. All the material things we see are but the objectified energy that emanates from the thoughts of yod. The Bible also states that God made each of us in His own image. Of course, that statement has no physical implications for we do not believe God to be anthropomorphic or embodied Hke a human being. : : God is a Bpirit, and He made each of us a spirit like Himself, Right here is a good place to stop for a moment for a precautionary word. Sometimes re-
liglous cults get too enthuse tastic about being made “In the image of God” and proceed to make themselves equal, or poe
tentially so, with Jesus Christ, «=.
It is well always to remems ber that we were made by Him, and that each of us lives by virtue of the fact that within us He has given every man a spark of his own divine self, “the Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” ) ‘But we are in no way equal . with Christ, the creator, nop can we ever be in the future for He is "God of God, Light of Light.” Yet, in a very real sense, we are little gods as Je« sus states in the gospel, “Yeo are gods.” (Copyright. 1952, hy Harper & Brothers) NEXT: How te Examine Your Own Heart,
