S SERBLGARR St Bd A Sa ae nae A REPRODUCING MACHINE A scientist recently asserted in Cleveland that there were pJans now in being for a machine which would re- produce itself. As described, the machine would collect parts from its environment and assemble them to produce a second machine of the same type, which would then col- lect parts and construct a third machine, and so on. In other words, the machine might be placed in an area with all the materials necessary for the production of like machinesand set in motion. Thereafter, the machines would be reproduced and the multiplication rate would become a fantastic one as long as the raw materials supply held out. It has also been suggested that machines would event. ually write music and plays, and perform just about every other function which the human being today endeavors to Perform. As fat as we are concerned, we see little to ex- cite the interest in this prospective era. We suspect that life, in this machine age, would be reduced to a rather statistical and mathematical existence. And, as for playing bridge or chess with some of the new machines which will be able to perform in this field, we’ll take vaninJla! And Playing chess or bridge with a machine is not our idéa of stimulation, remarkable as might be the machine. Thus we can conclude that we were born at about the right moment in the world’s history and not forty years _ too soon, : The Movie “Oscars” do not prove anything. Life for little people, is a struggle to gain recognition. Compliments are usually lies, but no one objects to them. We used to know a man who took great pride in the accuracy of his work. Your children will tell you what's wrong with you, without the necessity of questioning. What happened to the plan for an international language? If adopted we would have new sources for loans. HAL BOYLE SAYS NEw YORK wW—The great land- marks of our lives are rarely an- nounced by the blowing of bugles. We are made aware of change within ourselves by some odd mo- ment of self-discovery, and are surprised to learn that we are not ‘what once we were. ‘Thus, a woman awakens one fine morning, yawns, and thinks her day will begin as usual. Then she finds that no power on earth is any longer able to pour or pull her into a size 12 dress. Or, pet- haps, she is idly plucking her eye- brows and sees in the mir- ror, a her Her stant.

(Editor's note: That was the year Ruth quit.) ; My wife arrived in Paris on a Saturday night on her first trip abroad. Our Paris staff had an important softball game scheduled for Sunday and they were short one player. Bright and early next morning a voice shouted outside our hotel window: “Mrs. Boyle, can Boyle come down?” Frances turned and looked at “The team really needs me, dear,” 1 mumbled. I jumped into my clothes and ran out quickly. Well, it was a tough game, but we finally won 6-to-5 in a late rally. The team, hot and sweaty, all came back to the hotel, and we fought the game all over again as we celebrated with champagne, Frances just stared at us in si- lence, When the other players left, I saw the expression in her eyes and said lamely: “Honey, I knocked in the win- “Do you realiz#,” she answered, “that you are probably the only man in history heartless enough to desert his wife on her first morning in Paris just to play an old softball game?

The mango seasen is here. The mango is a fruit of which there is none fruitier. Mexico’s Suava, granada, or zapote negro may require a cultivated taste. Not the mango. With almost every- one it’s love at first sight. There are 27 varieties of man- goes, but the most popular—the! mango de Manila—has a smooth, yellow skin which, when peeled | back, reveals a peach tinted, firm and very juicy meat which tastes something like a cross of peach, watermelon and pineapple. The mango is shaped like a comma’, although some are so fat their curves are filled out. They have a wide fat seed in the cen- ter. The largest are about the size of a human hand. The mango tree grows quite large, arid ,is a prolific producer. Almost anyone can either afford to buy mangoes, or just pick them off somebody's tree. The so-calléd peach of the trop- ics is eaten from one end of the country to the other during its spring and summer season. If it's so good, why isn’t it ex- ported? It is, to some extent, but it’s a delicate fruit and can’t be shipped far without refrigeration, which is rare here. Most efforts to can mangoes haven't been too successful.

James H. (Jimmy) Doolittle. That’s the newest development in the long-standing debate over | which is the better air weapon—' the Russian-built MIG or the Amer- | ican F-86 Sabre Jet. H Famed flier Doolittle, special as-| sistant on technical matters to Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Air Force} chief of staff, recently conferred | with 12 combat pilots newly re-} turned from Korea. “They were pleased with their ll-to-1 victory record in MIG Al-| ley, but they were critical of the | equipment they were flying,” Says | Doolittle. ¥ i “They felt that with better | equipment they could make the | . They all wanted! higher performance and greater | simplicity. | “We discussed armament, radar | computing sights, armor plate, self | -Sealing tanks, ejection seats, in-, tegral starters, duplicate controls, | emergency ystems and parking} kes. j “But when we considered their} elimination in the interests of; lighter weight and greater sim-| Plicity, only the removal of the! parking brakes and some armor! plate were unanimously agreed! upon. These are relatively minor items. | Doolittle says it is undeniable | that Air Force equipment is be-| coming costlier, heavier and more | complex. But he deplores the fact} that the public often is told that! this is bad, that it increases the! tax burden, pampers the air crews } and even handicaps pilots in com- bat. ~ | “Actually, the enemy determines how complex our equipment must | be,” Doolittle says. “It must be! better than his. Much of it must | be able to operate in any part of; {the world, at any time, under any and all weather conditions. H “An airplane must be complete | enough to accomplish its mission | and bring the crew safely home.” | The same complaints—that | American planes are unnecessarily : complex—were heard in World War II. American fighter pilots found! they were being outflown by the | lighter, swifter, more maneuver-| able German Messerschmitts and Japanese Zeros. But the American | fighters, built to bomb and strafe | ground targets as well as to inter- | cept the enemy and equipped for comparatively long range, were | not outgunned or outfought. The! vietory payoff proved that. | It’s the same story over again} in Korea. The F-86 pilots say the/ MIG is lighter and faster. It can} outclimb and outmaneuver the Sa-} bre Jet at high altitudes. Its can-| non pack a heavier wallop than the Sabre’s machine guns. But the F-86 battle score con-/ tinues to rise. Vandenberg concedes that the | MIG-15: j Has a slight advantage over the F-86 in rate of climb at all alti- j Is somewhat faster than the F-86 above 25,000 feet; Being lighter, has a higher serv- ice ceiling.
