today, but I'm afraid the male,
after he's engaged, still wants to

Mclaughlin and his company de-
cided, since the double ring cere-
mony had proved so popular, that
they would give true love another
break by devising the combination
engagement-wedding job, such as
is now used in some parts OF
Europe.
The interested parties wear the
ring on their right hand when
they're engaged and, after the we'd
ding, they shift 1t to the left.
But. so far, the American male
Just isn't Interested" Mclaughlin
said. HE takes one look at that
diamond, gets all Mustered, and says

Girls Don't Like Smelling
Mclaughlin designed large
diamond for the woman, and .
smaller stone for the man.
I'VE always intimated that the
women were supposed to buy the
ring for the men," he explained,
and that's another place where
things got stuck. Girls just don't
feel like Smelling out the cash. 50

Lewis Return
CIimaxes Battle

Washington, Feb. 20. CUP)-The
nations two top labor unions
squared off today for the first skir-
fish Of what may become the bat
tie for leadership of the entire
American labor movement.
The first round promised to be
the series Of membership raids
which where predicted as soon as
John L. Lewis took his United Mine
Workers back into the AFL.
The CLIO set the stage for the
battle when it announced plans for
new organizational drive In the
growing chemical industry where
both the AFL chemical workers
and Lewis off-shot District so al
ready are competing for members.
The CLIO coupled its announce
ment with q biting attack on the
AFL and the mine leader himself.
THE ALL" 1t said, has totally
forfeited the right to even seek the
support and respect Of workers by
their failure to recognize and enact
q progressive program that will
meet the needs Of the American
worker.
The return Of John L. Lewis to
the AFL certifies the well-founded
belief that the high priest OF
reactionary labor and the fore
most exponent Of a policy of UNI
restricted and uncontrolled free en-
terprise has turned his back
to the needs of American workers.
Lewis, the statement went on, "a
now trying to regain lost glory
and position within the ranks Of
decaying bureaucracy"
There was no immediate comment
from Lewis.

NEW YORK, Sept. Barney Ross, 37, hero of Guadalcanal and former holder of two world boxing titles, started out today on the toughest battle of his life - to cure himself of drug habit.
 Because I have been a cham pion, I suppose I am an idol of a large number of kids, and l don't want to disillusion them by winding up as a drug addict" the former Marine corporal said yesterday as he voluntarily surrendered to Fed eral authorities in order to take a drug addiction cure.
 Ross will take the cure at the U. s. Public Health Hospital at Lexington, Ky John F. X. McGo- hey, United States attorney. ex- plained that because the hospital is crowded, voluntary submission to arrest was the only way Ross could get in.
 The former ring champion was placed under technical arrest on a charge of illegal possession of drugs, but McGohey said that Ross would not be arraigned and no bail would be asked.
 Ross said that through no fault of mine" he began taking drugs after he was hospitalized for shock and malaria at Guadalcanal.

 The reindeer meat, POO pounds of it. was consigned to the President and other of the nations executives from Nunivak Island, near Beth el, and sent by PAA clipper to Seattle, where it was divided with portions going to President Tru- man and Secretary of Agriculture Quentin Anderson, UNRRA Head .Fiorela LaGuardia and former President Hoover.

 The meat was obtained by the Fish and Wildlife Service at Nuni- yak from domesticated reindeer herds placed on the island by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
 Nunivak Island first gained fame in 1896 when a herd of the almost extinct musk OK were shipped there from Greenland to be rais- led until numbers had sufficiently increased to repopulatc Alaska with them and to provide the Fykimos with a ready source of meat.

Rabbit Skin Exports Boom
 in Australia.

SYDNEY - Rabbit skin exports, which have increased in value since 1889 from S1,398,o00 to $20,5G0, 900 q year, are now Australia's sixth most valuable product in the over seas market, Australian Govern ment statistics reveal.
 Only exports of greater value in the year ended June 30, 1946, were wool, S2O5, ,380,Oo0; meat, $39, 12O,0o0, flour, $35, ,86O,0O0; butter, S32 ,60O,000; wheat, $2O, ,792,000.
 The United States. which uses the skins fer felt hat manufacture, was the largest buyer, followed by Canada and the United Kingdom.
 Big sheep farmers still class the rabbits, which eat out their pas lures, as their worst pest, but smaller sheep farmers find them more profitable than sheep. Good rabbit trappers have been earning from $l63 to $244 a week.
