The book of Daniel tells of mysterious handwriting that appeared on the wall of a palace. The king summoned a gifted servant to interpret the message, and he learned of troubles ahead. Although no palace wall exists to predict, people are often reminded of the incident when they see signs of troublesome things ahead. A good example at this time concerns cattlemen who may well see a modern "handwriting on the wall" when the study reports of cattle and valves on farms and ranches at the beginning of the year. Farmers and ranchers had 106,500,000 cattle and calves on hand Jan. 1-3 per cent more than a year before and 17 per cent more than at the low point Of this cattle cycle six years ago. And this is only part of the story, since they include dairy cattle as well as cattle kept for beef. The number of dairy cattle is decreasing, so the number of beef cattle is rising faster than total cattle numbers. It is expected that possibly this year, or in 1965 or 1966, cattlemen will sell as many cattle as they raise, and possibly more. Beef production will increase more rapidly than demand will grow and prices of cattle will defcline substantially^ | M@w Machine Records Data On Five Million State Drivers Another important task has been taken over by a machine -- a new Univac III computer which stores all the detailed data on Illinois' 5,000,000 licensed drivers and makes it readily available for a variety of uses. The new unit replaces three computers formerly required to perform the same tasks, costs $5,000 a month less to operate, does the job faster and requires only a little more than half the amount of floor space. One of its advantages is faster processing of data, enabling the state to take accelerated action againBt dangerous drivers through revocation or suspension of their licenses. Using the information represented by 1,500,000,000 characters stored in its magnetic tape "memory," the computer checks all driver license applications, rejects those where the applicant is ineligible for any of a variety of reasons, prints driver and chauffer licenses, abstracts of drivers' records, suspension and revocation notices, warning letters and safe driving citations. One of the particular advantages of the new computer is its ability to perform more than one task at the same time. For example, it can be converting the Illinois State Library's list of holdings to magnetic tape while it is also printing driver licenses and abstracts of driver records. Maybe we can borrow Univac to help with the weekly paper some lazy week when we feel like a vacation! UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan LONG SERVICE Stuart M. Engh of 3007 W.

The other day I asked this boy to go to a dance with me and he said he would let me know in a few days. Today I found out he's going with another girl. So far, h<* hasn't said anything to me. I realize he has (he right to go with whom he pleases but do you think he was fair to me leading me on to believe he liked me? K. M. DEAR K. HI.: Let's give this boy credit and say he didn't lead you on. He probably does like you and you like him but he may like the other girl a little more. I don't know. Where he was wrong was in accepting the dance invitation from the second girl and letting you wait. He probably doesn't realize it but he's put you in a very embarrassing spot. You can ask another boy but If he happens to know he's second choice, you could be turned down. BOAT Plus EXCITING TRAVEL, CAMPING and FISHING TACKLE EXHIBITS Plus ALL-STAR REVUE ...

Since Michelangelo, no other sculptor has won the universal admiration that the world accords Auguste Rodin. Yet there have been on full-scale biographies of him in thirty years, and no book at any time that accomplishes what this vital novel does. Without sacrifice of accuracy, Robin strides across these pages so vibrantly alive that the reader feels the responsive clay under his own fingers, Tomasello's Tomasello's T.N.T.

Equally vivid are the people about him: His family; his fellow artists -- notably Degas and Monet and Renoir; the women who loved him, especially the exquisite, ill-fated Camille Claudel, who was his student; and his mistress; and Rose Beuret, his first model, mother of his son, who remained faithful to the end. Hugo and Zola are here, and, in the years of fame, the German poet Rilke, who was his secretary for a time, and George Bernard Shaw, Who sat for him. So also the age r-- 1840-1917-- the years of Rpbin's life. In those years, the artistic life was inseparable from the political and the literary, and the whole complex is here, along with the sights and the sounds of Paris. "Naked Came I" achieves the spontaneity, the thrusting power of Rodin himself. It is a novel that matches in every way magic of its subject. "THE WAPSHOT SCANDAL" By John Cheever. The Wapshot family settled in the little village of St. Botolphs on a snowy Christmas Eve in the second half of the 20th. With these traditional matters dispatched, the affairs of the Wapshots carom around the United States and Europe with considerable velocity, at times veering without warning into outbreaks of wild hilarity. The curtain comes down on another snowy Christmas, but, in the time between, all the members of the cast have gotten themselves into hot water. Coverly sings his slapstick and vainglorious love song to Betsey, Moses falls\ from grace, and Melissa, ^running away from death, stumbles. Leander is dead, but his unregenerate ghost wanders the disused house on River street. And Honora, no less exposed than her nephews and their wives to the brutal shocks of existence, reacts to them with reflexes as good as ever and in her own style, refusing to countenance the claims of disillusion and despair. Mr. Cheever has woven from, the improbabilities of his dayits winds, rains and tax collectors -- a complex and persuasive landscape, people with men and women whose yearnings toward the happiness they clearly remember having been promised are often inharmonious and not always innocent. "CLIFFS OF FALL" By Shirley Hazzard. The young author of this brilliant book of stories will take her place in the distinguished line of Knopf story writers that runs from Katharine Man3fieid to Shirley Ann Grau. Shirley Hazzard's stories, all but one of which have appeared in the New Yorker, are in the great tradition of the modern English story; they aro sensitive, beautifully wrought theme of the encounter between iiisi the Anglo-Saxon and the Latin temperament. ' ' Miss Hazzard's keen understanding of th<L relation's.. between men and women is evident ] throughout, and Wer stories are all the more H^vihg ' .because | they are written with groat-understatement",. humor, ancf u touch that is always sure and-1 subtle.

Robbery was hot the motive -- all her money was still in her handbag; vignettes of moments of crisis" in the lives of her characters. Their basic subject matter is "the human heart in conflict with itself," and if they have a central theme, it is the crucial importance of total personal involvement. "A Place in the Country" tells of a girl's affair with her cousin's husband, and of the slow disenchantment that ends the entanglement. The long title story has to do with the struggle of a newly married young woman to endure the shock of the sudden death of her husband.
