No Solution

WASHINGTON UPI—Chairman William McChesney Martin, Jr., of the Federal Reserve Board said Monday that “we shave not yet found a permanent solution” to the unfavorable U.S. balance of payments. He said the “only fundamental solution would be to increase

our trade surplus.”

CAPE KENNEDY UPI — Gemini twins Gordon Cooper and Charles Conrad huddled in seclusion at America's moonport today to relive for history the high points of their record

eight days in space.

The nation’s newest space heroes, in top shape and glad to be back, also faced more of the medical tests that began an hour after their Atlantic Ocean

splash dowm Sunday.

Their next nine days here and at the Project Gemini head-

nleal "debriefings” scientists ened a premature landing, the

quarters in Houston may be more tiresome than the eight days they spent in the Gemini capsule whirling around earth. The 120-orbit voyage pushed the United States ahead of Russia in manned space exploration and proved that man can withstand the rigors of space long enough to fly to the moon and back as early as 1969. Today’s schedule for Cooper and Conrad picked up where it left off Monday — more physical checks and more of the tech-

needed to gain every bit of information possible out of the orbital endurance mission. Cooper and Conrad, talking into tape recorders, Monday discussed in detail the flawless countdown Aug. 21, the launch and the climb into a near-per-fect orbit. Today’s program went on from there. It covered the endless sweeps around earth, the troubles that at times threat-

'Gm$m ^Jewelry fashions, fads, fictions by Harold Mason THE CHARM STORY Charm bracelets have been a most popular item with women (and jewelers, we must admit) since before the last war. It is safe to say that probably every woman reading this has either worn one. or is now collecting charms on a bracelet. This is a most satisfying fashion since it gives a woman a chance to create something unique and personally hers alone. Size and type of charms will vary according to physical size and taste. Mrs. Robert McCormick, Chicago society leader, started a trend in 1906 when she began collecting charms representative of each country she visited on her world travels. Others collect charms of sentimental meaning — a pair of baby shoes, a wedding ring, or a charm set with precious stones spelling

out “dear.”

At first, many of the charms were small in scale with intricate moving parts such as a jack-in-the-box or a bicycle with wheels that turned. Today the flat disc type with the design superimposed is popular, especially in yellow gold of 14 or 18 karat fineness. Sterling silver is still used for some bracelets, especially for those “starters” worn by

young girls.

When a person collects charms, friends and relatives are never at a loss as to * what to “gift” the wearer They are available in a wide price range, to commemorate every occasion. As a service to our customers, we strive to find the unusual in charms and maintain a good inventory. Do stop in soon and see our charm

collection.
