the Beautiful Wife from

Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovola

ATHLETES often make poor speakers. Take their footballs or baseball bats or swimming pools away from them and they're lost. You've heard of Judy Roberts, the Shortridge High School graduate who recently returned from Helsinki with a satchel chuck full of Olympic memories. The Downtown Lions Club beard Judy tell of her experiences the other day. Judy is a champion, with or without a pool. And she's going to get hetter on her feet. Something tells me Judy is in for as much talking as swimming in the coming months, The temperature in Helsinki stayed in the 40s throughout the games. Judy was unprepared for cold weather, She Jaughed about the coaches being bundled in overcoats, mufflers, sweat socks and pants while the swimmers shivered in wet bathing suits. “In the water,” Judy said, “which was heated, {ft was comfortable. Every time your arm came out of the water it felt like it was in a refrigerator.”

They finally had to settle for slacks. “Helsinki is a very clean city,” Judy told the attentive group. “lhey even have wastepaper baskets on streetcars.

YELLOWSTONE, Aug. 15—I got up at T a.m. ~1I had a 9 o'clock date with Old, Faithful. As we started out by auto to meet the star of Nature's big show which'll play to 1,250,000 people this year, I thought of the late Maj. Bowes and how he'd probably have introduced her: “On and on she goes «and when she stops nobody knows.” “She's never missed once since she was named fn 1870, and she’s erupted well over half a million times,” said Joseph Joffe, the park's administrative assistant. “So she’s not likely to pick today to go dormant ——although some pools do

They'd come Old Faithful back up in a whirlpool. They finally clogged the mouth of it.” My watch showed 8:45—we were hurrying past other smaller geysers on our way to the headliner. “Do vandals still throw cakes of soap jor I asked. “Rangers prevent it now,” Mr. Joffe said, “They might cause an unexpected eruption and blow the geyser out. As our car pulled up at Old Faithful Inn, Mr. Joffe said, “Old Faithful's the one that’s steaming over there.”

NEW YORK, Aug. 15—There has been much talk of youthful hoodlumism in the papers lately, and many recordings of wanton attacks by pimply punks on innocent bystanders. You read the

- headlines: about the two junior jerks who shot a

strange rabbi for laughs, and you see the rising statistics on crime, and you read. the dope addiction among the young and of the muggings and thrill murders. And you are prone to say shucks, this happens to other people, and then something closely akin happens to you and you sit up a little sharper. It happened to me the other night, If 1 carried a gun 1 think I might have used it. In a perfectly respectable part of town, Mama and I : hailed a cab after a movie. The cab stopped in front of me. Three young punks came and grabbed the door. I shoved the missus inside and got halfway in myself. One of them slammed the door on my leg. I boiled out in a large fury, forgetting my bald head, gimpy leg and encroaching girth—for a second. do dO T APPROACHED the punks like a tank, and back they go—a step. And then they saw what they had in way of competition, and stopped. I stopped at about the same time, with wisdom suddenly surging through my skull. I stopped when I saw. their faces. There on three kids, no older than 19 or 20, was about a§ nasty a set of triple leers as I ever hope to see. It was one of those things you don’t like to see on people—slack-jawed, stupid but ingrained mean all the way. A fast thought runs through my head: “I can take one with a punch,” I figure, “and I may get in a kick on another, but the third one is a cinch to have a knife or a zip gun or a blackjack and all of a sudden IT am down in the street with my head busted or my belly leaking or my mouth kicked in and for what? Three lousy little hoodlums who will make it thé' hard way to the electric chair without my help in due time anyhow, and why should I be the corpus delicti to hurry them to the hot squat?” » 0» SO I RIP OFF a fair swear, smother my inclination to bust skulls due to lack of ability. jerk the door shut and then tell the cab to take off. There was no policeman handy, ‘and nothing much would have happened if there had been. One of the little hoodlums kicked the fender as the cab went away and tossed a few loving re; marks behind it. I fumed all the rest of the evening over not being equipped with a gun or a bow’ and arrow or a baseball bat or anything else sufficiently lethal to save the state an eventual chance of removing them from society. I have lived around big cities for some years and cannot remember as much juvenile crime foolish crime, gratuitous crime,. wanton crime,

MET MY FIRST Vogue magazine editor and the initial impression was that the editors must eat better than the models spew between the covers.

Mentioned that to Dorothy Park. Midwest editor, at Ayres’ observing college fashion shows. She was a good sport about the observation. Miss Park refuted the allegation that Vogue models are ona starvation diet to produce that “gaunt” look. “The girls come that way and most of them eat like ponies without a thought about their hips.” sighed Miss Park. This is supposed to be “The sweater year." In this respect the “Cutaway necklines- fresh versions of a young idea” in the program gave me a start, ood ide AFTER SEEING a load of sweaters wiggle by on the platform, 1 became impatient, Where was the fresh version of a young idea?

You cannot tell me that society is making them bad, because there are less poor people and more opportunities around now than in the history of the country—more free this, more free that, more ‘“understanding,” more counseling, more everything.

Q—Our iris is 10 vears old and hasn't been doing so well these last two years. Is there anything we can do about it? Watson Rd. —Yes, it probably needs dividing and resetting. And this is the time to do it. For iris do not suffer from mid-summer moving even ff ground is dry and weather hot. Most of the bearded iris are such thrifty growers they multiply until they're crowding like weeds. When too many rhizomes compete in one spot for plant food you'll have few and poorer flowers.
