Recently, Captain Horace F. Potts of Killeen, Texas, then com- •aanding B Battery, decided to do something about the lack of entertainment in the combat zone. Captain Potts took a radio that had been issued by Division Special Servicrg, and rigged a telephone in such a hianner as to pick up the news and music being broadcast. The telephone line went to the Battery switchboard, and from there the music was put on telephone lines to gun crews and outposts. At this juncture, PFC Arthur Reggie of Pasadena, California, working on the battalion Fire Direction Center switchboard, increased the volume and the music spread to the men standing in the plotting room. C Battery joined the network and, as a result, the one radio in B Battery was .furnishing entertainment through more than 25 outlets. If the lines are needed for a fire mission, the Armfcd Forces Radio Service yields to the flick of a switch and, the crews swing into action. World's Leading Spokosmon Variety of Speaking Talent A study of. the speaking qualities of the world's leading spokesmen can be helpful to would-be orators, according to Dr. Robert T. Oliver, professor and head of the department of speech at the Pennsylvania State College. Dr. Oliver characterises the speech of some of our leaders as follows: Prime Minister Clement Atlee: "flat and dull, even when he is speaking incontrovertible truth." Joseph Stalin: "bland as a boy caught with his hand in the cookie Jar, swearing he really is in the parlor studying his Sunday School lesson." Winston Churchill: "petulant, tired, sometimes over-eager, but still the grandest voice speaking for freedom." Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower: "disarmingly simple--a Kansas farm boy with a college education." Carlos Romulo of the Philippines: "cocky as a bantam rooster, but with the bite of a bull dog." Moon Trip According to one authoritative work ("Rockets," by Willy Ley), a Rocket trip to the moon would take about &4 hours. At first the rocket would move along a path which forms part of a long ellipse around the Earth, while the last part of the trip would follow a section of an ellipse about the Moon.

Ask Them To Dot State Gas Tax Takes Penny Jump The state gasoline tax went up a penny Wednesday for the first increase in twenty-two years. Gov. Stevenson last week signed into law a bill calling for the penny boost in the present three cent tax. The law also provides for another penny increase to five cents^bn Jan. 1, 1953. These increases are a compro mise of the immediate nickel tax which Stevenson asked the legislature to provide for funds to rebuild the state highway system. Part ot the highway program is an increased schedule of truck license fees which go into effect next year. The higher tax and fees will raise revenue for roads beyond the 1950 level in these amounts: $40,000,000 in 1952, $60,000,000 in 1953 and $68,000,000 in 1954. Here's how the four cent gas tax proceeds will be shared: Townships, about $7,500,000 a year for rural roads, and cities, counties and the state, about $24,- 167.000 each a year. When nickel tax becomes effective, the township share will jump to $10,000,000. The other portions will be divided thus: State highways, $35,000,000; cities, $32,000,000; downstate counties, $12,000,000; and Cook dounty, $11,000,000. <- Under this new law, townships benefit by the tax directly for the first time. Township shares - under the new law will be determined on a mileage basis. To be eligible for gas tax proceeds after June 30, 1953, a township must levy a road and bridge tax of ten cents a $100 property valuation and offer to the state highway division a road improvement program it will accept. Downstate counties will continue to share on the basis of motor vehicle registrations and cities on the basis of populations. Diamonds Have Been Stones Of Superstition for Centnries Diamonds, the birthstone of April, have been a stone of luxury and superstition since ancient times. According to research experts with the World Book Encyclopedia, diamonds were first known in China and India and many of the countless superstitions can be traced to Oriental mythology. History reveals that wearing a diamond was supposed to keep away the evil eye and enhance the good or bad qualities of the owner. Another belief, still in vogue, claims that the owner of a large diamont will suffer misfortune. Although diamonds today arc the accepted stone for engagement and wedding rings, the ancient Orientals felt that such use woul result in positive bad luck. The circle of the wedding ring originally was intended to be a symbol of continuity. By placing a stone in the setting, the circle was supposed to be broken and love and harmony were disrupted. However the value and beauty of the stone soon overcame fear, and romantic legends began to circulate. Some believed that diamonds were formed by the fires of love, and even Cleopatra is believed to have used a brilliant diamond to woo Mark Anthony. V< * Safety VahM Checks for more thai* ISflCOOb were given to welfare institution* and hospitals in more than 20 communities last year from savings realized through a reduction in accidents by a steel company. Officials of t^e company had previously anncuncea a policy whereby savings in insur ance and accident compensator payments on account of improved safety, as compared with the previous five-year period, would be used for the improvement of so nal agencies in communities where he company operates. Read the Want Ads! Looking Ahead The Early Germans had specialists in divining the future from the cries and flights of birds and from the neighings and snortings of white horses which were kept in sacred groves or coppices by a priset or king with an eye for business. The Mayans had their bird-and-jaguarmen and the Toltecs their priests and sorcerers with tattooed bodies --all of them rich in worldly goods, including magnificent feather headdresses, capes, and ornaments. With a fitfy-fifty chanee of being right, fortune-tellers down through the ages have been credited with certain historic predictions. One of the most dramatic of these was that of a soothsayer who appeared suddenly and mysteriously to announce the end of his empire to the powerful Aztec king, Montezuma. Shortly afterward, an army led by the Spanish explorer, Hernando Cortez, conquered Mexico and with it the Aztec Empire. Llacola Myths Many myths cling to Abraham Lincoln, the chief among them being that his monument-tomb at Springfield, Illinois, is empty. A plot to rob the tomb was uncovered in MZ8. - Archttectaral Pearl Known for its beauty and simplicity, the Medina mosque in Saudi Arabia is widely regarded as Arabia's most outstanding architectural gem. Man Can Fly To Moon - When He Has Licked Three Big Problems Before man can^ly to the moon, to Mars, or to Venus, be has three major problems to lick-t- the danger of the sun's rays, lack of gravity and the threat of meteors. These problems and others have been set fortl^ by six authorities who are assoWated with the U.S. Air Force and the Army. Their analyses - of the human factor in space flights have been published in a book titled "Space Medicine." The book will be made available by the University of Illinois Press on Aug. 20. The scientists have given this version of how a passenger, traveling out beyond the earth's gravitational field, would fare: The space ship would shoot upward at 450,000 miles an. hour. A man could survive that burst of speed for the short time necessary to get the rocket into motion. However, a person,s nervous system does not react quickly enough for such speed, in the two-tenths of a second required for a passenger to "havie any conscious reaction of anything, the rocket would have traveled twenty-five nt i 1 e S; Electronic engineering, possibly by remote control, might be a solution. The rocket won Id streak through the atmosphere BO fast that its metal skin would heat to 1.112 degrees fahrenheit. Then, out in space, the real trouble would start. One peril would be meteors that normally burn themselves out when they pass through the earth's atmosphere. Even a tiny meteor, slightly larger than a BB pellet, could penetrate the ship's wall and cause the cabin pressure to be lost. A large meteor would demolish the rocket. The passengers would undergo an experience no one ever has known. They would be weightless. The air around them would be weightless, and. without some ventilation system, a warm cloud soon would surround their bodies Their own breath " would be a problem. It would remain out tn space in front of them. Any body sweat would create a fog in their compartment. They could experience strange discomforts; their hair, having no weight, would stand up. Their clothes would bag oddly. Solar x-rays from the sun would be another major danger! These x-rays probably would pass through the metal skin of the rocket. If the walls were lined with thin plates of lead to keep the x-rays out. this in itself would QfUise another radiation danger. Cosmic particles striking these lead plates would create deadly ray showers. 1 Larger Cities Are Hopping On Parking Meter Band Box Big cities are rapidly "wisingup" to the use of parking meters as a means of controlling use of scarce curb space, as well as a source of revenue for off-street parking facilities. The American Municipal Association reports that most recent major cities to approve use of meters are Chicago and New York. Chicago has already begun installation of the first of Its anticipf ted 15.000 meters. In New York, the city traffic commissioner recently requisitioned 1,500 of the parking-time regulators to be 'installed for a test run. Plans "are for New York's meters to be in operation by mid-July. Big cities are late-comers as meter users, the Association pointed out, for in late 1949 five major U S. cities--Baltimore, Chicago! Milwaukee. New York and St. Louis--had no meters in use. Today, of the group, only Baltimore remains. Milwaukee's first parking meter was installed in December, 1949. •nd by mid-May of this year 1,258 were in operation. Take from the meters in that period was $190,531. Average monthly collection from each meter has been running approximately $11. St. Louis' first group of 300 to 400 meters went in operation in April and May. Eventually, St. Louis will have 5,000 parking regulators in place. Chicago hopes, through use oi meters, not only to allow every shopper-driver a fair share of curb space, but also to speed traffic and to cut congestion. Some curb space is being reserved for unloading zones, thus eliminating the double parking of trucks and the consequent tie-up of traffic. Then too, each curb parking space is being made between 22 and 24 feet in length in hopes of eliminating the usual jockeying and backing up in parking that causes street congestion, Average car length is 18 feet. New York's initial installation will be in shopping centers in the boroughs of Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, as well as on the lowei east side of Manhattan and in upper Manhattan around 125th Street. The fee for use of the meter is set at 10 cents. The time limit is set at an hour in al locations except in Queens. till ttri WEEKLY CROSSWORD PUZZLE ^ Former U.S. Officio!

Successful diagnosis and treatment of numerous such afflictions, inability to nurse the baby, painful menstruation, asthma, epilepsy, migraine, eczema, from which an asserted 80 to 90 per cent of the white American population suffer, is described by Dr. Alan Johnston of Plainfield, Indiana, and Dr. Arthur F. Coca, internationally famous allergist and former Clinical Professor of Medicine at Columbia Universtiy. A tell-tale speed-up of heart and pulse occurs within an hour or two after a patient eats or breathes a substance to which he is allergic --ft food, dust or smoke. This is the basis of Dr. Coca's therapy, since it provides, he believes, ai% almost infallible indicator of the materia] or materials which provoke allergic Irritations. Blight Caused Exodaa .

Lightweight Rubber-Canvas Boat Reported 'Unsinkable' A folding boat said to be unsinkable is the latest item to go on the market for sportsmen. A two-seater model, the boat weighs only 56 pounds complete with sails, paddles, and leeboards. The fabric for the boat is constructed from a combination of can vas and rubber, and its collapsible frame is made of seasoned mountain ash. Popular Mechanics magazine reports that the folding boat is unsinkable even if it is completely filled with water because of two air-filled tubes wrapped around the hull at the gunwales. The boat comes apart to form two compact bundles that can be carried by one person and which will fit into a car trunk. It is said that the portable boat can be assembled in less than 15 minutes.
