In fact, it is on the way to becom- Ang the aluminum horse. Six railroads put their heads - "together in 1954; -thought up some ideas as to what the trai of the fuure should be like, and~ asked builders to produce samples. The 1st spectacular re- sult, the Aerotrain built by Gen- - eral Motors, was tested Thurs. by both the New York Central and the Pennsylvania. The Central's run from Chicago to Detroit cut one hour off the normal five-hour : trip. The Aerotrain hit 93 miles. an hour at one point. Perhaps more im- _ portant, it rounded curves fast- er, The new coaches are hoods of gleaming aluminum mounted on steel under-carriages. They weigh about half as: much as' the conventional coach, and "that is the key factor. They will cost about 40 per cent less to build into. assembly-line production. And their Diesel en- gines will eat up far less fuel. ~ So, while the new trains are edging up to the plane in the matter. of speed, it is quite pos- sible their fares will edge down toward those of the bus. Robert R. Young, chairman of the Central, was frank about the plight of the trains as far as passenger service is .concerned; he called it a "dying business." The train of tomorrow may be the answer. In addition to the Aerotrain, other versions are in the course of experimental pro- duction by other builders. We wish the aluminum horse well. It is 'a fine example of healthy competition. -- New York Herald Tribune. GASEOUS -- Jane Magruder dresses with gas.

Caretaker Louis Hillis shovels snow from the roof of North Rim Lodge at Grand Canyon. A mile below his 8500-foot eyrie is the nearest neighbor, at Phantom Ranch on the banks of t pany, only alternative to bec oming an angel by ste he Colorado River. If Hillis longs for com- pping off Bright Angel Point, where the lodge is located, is to snowshoe 44 miles to Jacob Lake, Ariz. From October to May, Hillis and his wife are isolated save for radio contact, Then come: lodge employees and the tourists. BALD EAGLES . Last October two ardent Duck Shooters, Sandy Stuart and Doug Matthews, had the thrill of a life time, While crouched in their duck blind early one morning they were startled at seeing a great Bald Eagle swoop down and take ~ a look at their home-made de- coys bobbing in the water. Af- ter 'sizing up the situation and apparently being; satisfied with the prospects oy an appetizing meal (from the wooden decoys), the big bird pounced on its choice seizing it by the head and making off only to have its breakfast jerked from its talons when the long anchor cord tightened. This interesting eplsode .is re- |" lated here as it seems to tie in with the recent article on Bald Eagles published in "Conserva- tion Corner" and reprinted be- low. \ ' "Under legal protection in Ontario in recent years. Bald Eagles have been enjoyifig a slow but steady return to some- thing resembling their former abundance. This is true in all but aréas most densely popula- ted by humans, yet Bald Eagles are 'by no means abundant in and probably never will be, according to District Forester A. J. Herridge, of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, ' 'Of the more than two dozen - different kinds of birds of prey that occur in Ontario, only the Bald Eagle, and the Osprey or Fish, Hawk are legally protect- red,' he, points out, 'although all but one ar two species are es- sentja]lyiiorf completely bene ficial to man's interest. : 'The one large area in North 'America in which Bald Eagles are truly abundant is in the Tepritory of Alaska where, in the past, tremendous numbers . were killed primarily because of their alleged depredations upon the salmon. '+'Because of the controversy that surrounds the - economic status of Bald Eagles; and be- cause of the unusually high de- gree of popular nterest which "attaches to these birds, they have been the subject of much study," Mr. Herridge points out, 'Interest undoubtedly was further aroused because early in the history of the United States' the Bald Eagle was selected as that country's national emblem by Act of Congress, June 20, 1782, when 'a design for the national Coat-of-Arms display- ing the Bald Eagle was adopted. 'In their economic effects, the carrion-feeding ' habits of the Bald Eagle are considered to be neutral. Walter Barrows, writ- ing of conditions in Michigan some forty years ago, which are as true today, says,' Mr. Herridge points out: ¢ "Although it frequently captures worthy prey, in open flight or by direct attacks, it often robs the fish hawk. When nothing better of- fers, it feeds freely upon decom- posing fish washed up along the shore, or upon carrion, in com- pany with the crow and the raven. "'True, it kills many rabbits, grouse, ducks and waterfowl of various "kinds, and even stoops to squirrels, mice .and snakes; but on the whole it confers no decided benefits on the agricul- turist alithough, hand, it is not commonly in- jurious. On rare. occasions it picks up a hen, usually at a distance from the house, and in the early spring it has been known to destroy young lambs. But these are not common of- fences."' * ' 'This is still essentially true in most of Canada and the U.S.' says Mr. Herridge. 'The princi- pal difference is that the Bald Eagle's potential for either good or harm is now significantly less than it once was, because of the bird's decreased numbers. 'In Ontario, Bald Eagles are never likely to become abund- ant. If adequately protected, however, by an understanding and appreciative public, they should remain in modest num- bers as aii integral part of this Province's wildlife population,' " Low-powered X-ray. unit (ar- row) is aimed at luggage, while Sturm adjusts controls of the Lurnicon, ' Monitor could be placed farther from the X-ray unit, if necessary, DNL py TV-type screen picks up im- age -- a "bomb," lower left, and alarm clock timing mechanism.

Danger A-head Karl Schneide r, Hitler's chauffeur, who provided the petrol for the Fuhrer's funeral pyres has returned: from Russia, saying that Hitler's .head was sent to Moscow soon after the war. : » The heads of Reoplé who died violent deaths have often gone on strange journeys. When Mrs. Ruxton-was killed by her doctor husband, her head was found in a ravine in remote Scotland. Mrs. Crippen's head was never found but it is believed that Dr. Crippen took it with him in a handbag when crossing to Dieppe and dumped it in -mid- Channel, Another murderer who fav- oured this technique was Kate Webster, who killed her land- lady, Mrs. Thomas. She carried the old Lady's head in a black handbag when she went to meet friends and later dropped the bag over a<*Thames bridge. Sir Vere Goold also used a handbag. He owed money to a wealthy Swedish widow, Mad- ame Levin, and when she press- ed him for it, he killed her. French police arrested him as he was coming out of a hotel carrying her head in a handbag. Some killers, moved by strange impulse, have preserved the heads of their victims, When Voisin killed Madame Gerard in Soho during the first world war he preserved her head and hands in a cask of bran. Sgt. Prey- vost, a French gendarme, killed Lenoble for some jewellery which his victim had brought to show him, He put the dead man't head up the chimney where it was smoked dry, Another killer fascinated by heads was Madame Jabourvuski a Polish" woman living in Paris in the last century, who Had a number of young men admirers, Their heads were found on her premises, preserved in #cid, But when Voirbo cut up Desiree Bodasse's body, he, bor- ed hofes in the ears and filled the head with molten lead. Then he threw it into the Seine. (All details fiven in this article are taken from actual cases.) "in-law, Stowed Away On Wrong Boat Love is the sweetest thing -- but it can cause complications, One youthful, six-footer in the Royal-Marines met a girl at a dance in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Long after he, returned to this country he couldn't get her out of his heart, To try to. see her he stowed away in a transatlan- tic liner but.discovered, too late, - that the ship this time was "bound for Batavia. . Put ashore at Port Said, he returned in a cruiser. Striving to cross the Atlantic again, he spent five weeks on Ellis Island and got no further. "A mug's game," he reflected. But finally he was allowed in Canada for a six-months' stay -- and to help pay his way he joined the Can- adian Army. . Instead of staying in Halifax he was posted to Manitoba, 2,000 miles away! It was the last straw and, at the last report, he still hadn't married his girl! Or take the case of blonde Betty Dobson, one of Australia's shortest staying immigrants. Though her boy friend begged her to remain in sngland and drop the idea of starting a new life "down under," Betty insisted on sailing, She changed her mind when she arrived at Fremantle and found herself clasping a pile of airmail letters. Proof of his de- votion, her boy had written her every day -- and Betty decided she loved him more than she had thought. She came back home in the same ship that had taken her out. The difference was that her fare outward bound had been at $30 immigrant rate -- and 'the passage home cost $420. Luckily . her boy friend was waiting for her on the quay at Tilbury. Not long ago pretty Alice Sel- don planned to surprise her U.S. Army husband in Munich by sailing from the States to Europe to visit him. But when she ar- rived in Europe she discovered that her hubby had been plan- ning to surprise her, toe -- and had sailed home to see her in the United States! When lovely Gina Guada, daughter of a senior officer of Bologha Prison, lost her heart to a handsome your prisoner, her father forbade her to wait at a window from which she could sce him at exercise. But the convicts staged an angry sit- down strike at this "withdrawal of a special privilege" -- and Gina ultimately married her - man when he was released on probation, Then there was the extra- ordinary complication that en- sued when 23-year-old Roll found herself a widow and went to live -- complete with baby boy .-- with her parents- When her mother - in - law died her father-in-law want- ed to marry her, This wasn't possible under Pennsylvania laws, but the couple were at last able to get married in Maryland. When this happened Helen 'Roll remained Helen Roll. But Mr. Roll remgined father-in-law to his wife, stepfather to his grandchild and son-in-law of his son's mother-in-law! .And Helen ; became her own mother-in-law, her child's stepmother and natural mother of her husband's grandchild! Bear Taught Girl to Growl. From Anatalya on the Medi- teranean cost of Turkey recent- ly came the strange but true story of an. eight-year-old girl who was carried off by a large bear to a cave -- and then res- cued unhurt, The girl was playing in a garden when the bear came in, picked her up and ambled off, Soon a party of men from the village were out hunting. the "kidnapper" in the wild and lonely countryside, At last they came to an iso- lated cave where they found the girl, alone and unconscious, ly. in a dark lcorner, Then the bear appeard in the cave entrance carrying food for its newly adopted "baby." It had to be shot. There is an authenticated in- stance of a nine-year-old girl being actually reared by a she. bear which kidnapped her from her cot in babyhood and took her to its lair. This girl was found by hunters in 1937 near the Uledagh mountain range and taken to a hospital in Istan- bul for special treatment. Nurses testified that the girl growled like a young bear and attacked people who approach- ed her, but after mach patient effort by doctors and nurses the human side '6f her nature was successfully developed and §hie "1 became normal, One doctor said afterwards that everything in her behav- four indicated that she had been fed and nursed by the bear as her own cub since she was kidnapped in 1028, at the age of three months, Helen HOW FRED McMURRAY GOT HIS START Many stars speak with mod- esty about their appearances on the screen, but Fred .MacMur- ray is almost disparaging about his. Sometimes when he is mak- -ing a picture, he does a piece of acting that satisfies him," he . said at a press luncheon in Bos- ton, but: "on*"the screen it doesn't look 'quite like what I thought I did." Mr, MacMurray did a lot of contract work before ventur. ing out on his own. He got into the 'movies because he went to pick up his mail one day -- at least this is part of a story that began somewhat earlier. » L . He was playing the saxa- phone in a Hollywood pit or- chestra when the band on stage "lost a saxaphone player. Mr, 'MacMurray replaced him and, because of a band contract, also ook" his name, Ted Beach. Somehow through a clerical error, he became known as Rex Beach. A fan of the author by that name kept "bothering Mac- Murray alias Beach to find out how he happened to have this name. : At that time the band was appearing in a New York re- vue, "Three's a Crowd." Mr, MacMurray said that his first acting - experience consisted of standing and listening. to "Please Give Me Something to "Remember You By," sung by Libby Holman. Just listening, he recalled, is one of the actor's hardest jobs. - The band went on to play in "Roberta." Since the group had been accustomed to travelling, members' mail was sent in care of a booking office. While he was in "Roberta" Mr. MacMur- ray went in to pick up his mail. A clerk asked him why he »didn't go into the movies. Mr. MacMurray said he didn't know. The clerk called the head of the office, who -also asked why Mr, MacMurray didn't go into the movies. Mr, MacMurray said. he didn't know. Soon a screen test was ar- ranged, for which Mr, MacMur» ray had to borrow a tofi hat and cane from Bob Hope, whe was. also "appearing in "Ro. berta" So Mr. MacMurray dl go into the movies, "He stl -plays the saxophone"once in a while, but he is concentrating on the guitar, B REPLACES MEG -- "Alex" is ths new glamor girl of London's Mayfair. She's Princess Alexan- dra, and she's replaced her cou- sin, Princess Margaret now 25. Sociely columnists have been calling 19-year-old Alex "the princess of 1956", She is said to be more approachable than cou- sin Margaret, who was consider- ed regal and somewhat aloof.
