SAE TERE NOS SEE TAT ITER STE TE Sy THE MYSTERY OF THE AIR STREAMS The Navy has undertaken an investigation of the ghost rivers of air which were first discovered during World War II. These streams of air, which move several hundred miles an hour, have been responsible for many strange experiences of pilots. Crews of B-29 bombers over Japan in World War II often reported encountering strange atmospheric antics at 20,000 to 30,000 feet. They reported they suddenly seem- ed to stand still in mid-air. On other occasions, the air out- side their planes suddenly registered tropical warmth and changed back quickly to arctic cold. The cause of these jet streams is not yet definitely de- termined, although one explanation is that they are caused by warm air from the equator colliding with frigid air from the polar regions. To test them more thoroughly and to gain accurate instrument measurements of their veloci- ty and direction, the Navy has assigned two pilots the job of finding these air streams. The films, which will be fo- cused on dials of instruments,.which record the readings every five seconds, will be sent to the University of Chi- cago for study and interpretation. The most persistent jet stream patterns across the Southern and Mid-Atlantic States. Although the two Navy pilots will range into all sections of the country, they will concentrate on this area, Their investigation may provide the first accurate and detailed answers to the mystery of the ghost streams of air, which move silently and mysteri- ously through the upper altitudes at great speed. What has become of the man who thought he knew it all? The history of the past will do you no good if you don’t know anything about it. Prices are too high, everybody agrees, but nobody does anything much about them. The smart man reaches a stage in life when he is not particularly interested in picnics. The cure of dread diseases, though understood by medical men, constitutes a miracle to the ignorant, The great freedoms exist only when practiced by in- dividuals who are not what you consider best citizens. - SLICE OF HAM _ .LEAVING NOTHING TO —>—.

Every périod brings its new developments and interests and produces special new words “I estimate that, in every dic tionary, about 5,000 new words come up for consideration and about 3,000 of them get in.

Edgar Hoover spoke up today for better pay for policemen, saying ‘“‘cut- rate law enforcement will not work.” The FBI director, in an article in the bureau’s monthly law en- forcement bulletin, said: “One factor which undoubtedly contributes to the prosperity of the criminal element is a police pay scale too low to maintain law enforcement forces at full strength. eee “Unwillingness to provide proper remuneration for the intelligence and effort required in the perfor- mance of modern police duties is a form of cut-rate law enforcement and it will not work. “The logical result is a bigger crime bill in the form of murders, robberies and all the other mani- fold ways in which crime can be expensive... .” NO. 2 STATE DEPT. MAN APPROVAL SURE WASHINGTON (# — The Eisen- hower administration’s No. 2 State Department man appeared likely to win Senate approval today. Republican Leader Taft of Ohio planned to call up the nomination of Gen. Walter Bedell Smith. as under secretary of state. Quick Senate approval seemed assured. The Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee approved Smith 15-0 on Wednesday. Smith, chief of staff under Eisen- hower in World War II, has been head of the Central Intelligence Agency in the last two years. up the ball and threw it down the fairway with all his might.

The mere act of shaking hands with a stranger is a pioneering social -venture into the dark un- n. To the Romans the handshake was merely a form of guarantee between two men that at the mo- ment of meeting neither planned to hack each other to death. As as their hands were linked neif could draw his sword. The handshake today is no in- surance against fatality. It does protect you from stabbing — but may result in your being talked to death. In the modern world the hand- shake may lead to anything—from a fresh romance to a court sum- mons, from a new job to the pur- chase of a swimming pool for your living room. ‘You put out your paw—and mys- tery begins. Anything can happen to you from a handshake, particul- arly at a cocktail party, and at such affairs the wise man keeps a feel tempted to risk rattling the dice of destiny. If you see anyone you really like, you can always shake hands with him later. There are certain types of hand- shakes and handshakers, however, THIS ROCK By GIBB There are a few questions that jing basis so that might. be considered regarding the il plan to tow away any cars left parked in the city for a period of twenty-four hours or more.

Since there is not sufficient parking space at City Hall, what garage that rents parking space will get the cars? These are merely a few of the questions that could be asked. This column leaves the answers entirely up to your cwn experience and knowledge.

Wonder How End Of Controls that it seems impossible to avoid even in a well spent life. Perhaps you have met the following: (1). The snob — You aren’t aware he has you by the hand at all, for he is measuring you with eyes that say: ‘“‘Who are you? How much money do you have? Will it help my social standing to know you?” (2). The Mangler — he likes:to hear bones snap — other people’s bones. Fortunately, this type is now almost extinct except in barrooms. (3). The feminine fencers’ greet- ing — Two cordial lady enemies touch gloved fingers like boxers coming out for the last round—and then start throwing verbal upper- cuts. (4). The pumper—This cheery boy pumps your hand up and down so heartily that you feel guilty because you can’t act like a well and reward him by having water Tun out your ears. (5). The Where-Have-You-Been- All-My-Life? Girl — she lets go your hand reluctantly, as if you were pulling her heart out by the Toots. It’s only an act, of course, but the least you can do is mail her some fingernail clippings so she’ll have some kind of souvenir of the big moment you gave her. (1). The Wholesome-Young-Go- getter—His handshake comes from a salesman’s manual. He gives you a firm, fair grip, counts to 10 si- lently as he looks you straight in the eye before asking, “What are your hobbies?” ‘Warning: Run— Don’t walk—from this eager beav- er.) (8). The clammy clutcher—He puts what feels like a soggy tomato in your right palm, then wraps his wet moss other paw around the back of your hand. Every time you try to pull away, his soft trap pulls you gently back as he dreamily tells you his life’s woes. (9). The frigid rigid digit—This sanitary old lady puts out a frozen series of icicles and jerks them back fast before the dirty old germs on your hand can make up their mind to join the nice clean germs on her hand. You have the eerie feeling you have’ stroked a Siberian werewolf’s fangs. Some people feel we ought to give up handshaking altogether and do like the Eskimos. The Eskimos greet each other by rubbing noses. Now there’s a custom that could lead to some really interesting ad- ventures!

And white collar men will be asking if the raise they hoped for— the raise that somehow got stuck in the paperwork involved in con- trols or was pared back from what the boss said he’d like to give—will now be a possibility again, Pressure for higher wages will doubtless be increased in several quarters as wage controls end.
