Diver Comes Up With
Teeth Adriff in River

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.-Wal-
ter Ford, whose false teeth
popped out and sank in 80 feet of
water when he gasped for air on
reaching the surface after an
underwater SWIM, paid a profess
sional diver $75 to retrieve them.
Ford arranged for Charles Delps
to dive for the teeth, valued by
their owner at $3.50. He agreed
to pay SIS if the dive was I'M
successful, $75 if it was success
full.
Delps donned a shallow water
mask and dived into the Missis-
sippi river backwater. After a
10-minute search he broke sur
face with Ford's set of uppers.
"The water was so cold down
there I heard the teeth chatter
ins," he said.

Decrease Reported
In Army Enlistments
High Intelligence Standards
Result in Decline.

WASHINGTON.-Eighty thousand
men T needed monthly to bring
the army up to normal strength, it
was disclosed by the war depart
ment. New fall enlistments are
running rs per cent short of the
number required for bare replace
ment of discharges, an officer said.
War department figures show that
enlistments for the first seven
months of 1947 averaged 1882 a
month. The army estimates that
10000 new recruits a month are
needed to keep strength at present
levels, with still larger enlistments
necessary to build up to the 1,070,-
900 men authorized force.
Officials said the army could dou-
BILE its enlistments Immediately if it
could afford to scrap it's new high
standards for admission. In one
month, the army rejected approx
imately half of the men who applied
for enlistments-in the majority of
cases for failure to pass intelligence
tests.
The army made its entrance
exam" considerably tougher at the
beginning of this year, because ex-
perience had proved that men of
higher intelligence we're needed to
hold down the many technical jobs
in the postwar service.
Before the passing grade was
raised, % out of every 100 prospec-
tive volunteers failed to pass the
test. In a recent month, the aver
age was up to IS failures out of 100
applicants.
In addition, 10 per cent of the men
who appeared at recruiting offices
couldn't pass the physical examina-
tons, and a small percentage was
rejected for what the army calls
'moral disqualiications."
High war department officers are
firm in their determination not to
lower the army's standards in order
to make up recruiting deficits.
eve tried it onc two years ago."
spokesman said. "We threw open
the ranks to almost anyone but
IDIOTS, and the result vas nothing
out trouble. We just can't use dull
ards in the army now"

Paralyzed Girl Prizes.
Eighth Grade Diploma

O'NEILL, NEB.-Like thousands
of other boys and girls all over the
country, Donna Mae Fuhrer felt a
little bit more grown up after receiv-
ing her eighth grade diploma.
But hers was an extra special one,
representing unusual courage and
the loving cooperation of teachers
at the little rural school near her
home. Also unlike others, her diplo-
ma was accompanied by a letter Of
congratulation from Gov. Val Peter
son.
Commencement exercises were
held at Donna Macs bedside. She
never has been able to attend school
and the teachers spent their spare
time tutoring her. She has been
paralyzed since infancy.

Hogs Excel All Animals

Hogs excel all other farm animals
in the efficiency with which they
convert feed into meat. The hog
grows more rapidly and produces
young when less mature than other

Gems Influence Mems Lives

Precious gems are among mans
most cherished possessions. Most
valuable of these gems is the en-
erald, followed by the ruby, the
diamond. the pearl and the sapph-
ire, according to the standard clas-
sification.
First comes the emerald, which
has given its name to a particu-
larly lovely shade of green. This
stone is glamorous and mysterious,
and its name is sheer music in all
languages.
The ruby is considered the most
desirable stone by jewel experts the
world over. The ruby is the BIRTH
stone for the month of July. The
diamond symbol of love and roman
ce, is rated second among the
worlds precious stones. Diamonds,
with their sparkling depths and ra-
diant colors are truly gems of mys-
terry.
Ranking fourth is the pearl. AL
though it is not strictly a mineral
it is SO closely related to the family
of precious gems that it is clas-
sified among its five most impor-
tant members. This product of the
mollusk. or shell fish, has formed
the necklaces of royalty and famous
beauties for countless ages. The
history of pearls extends back
$500 years and these gems adorned
the jewel caslets of the Pharoahs
of Egypt.
Last but not least of the five most
precious stones is the sapphire
birthstone of September, the SYM

This Fellow Prefers NiSei Girls

with Obejet matrimony. These
compliments were a novelty at
first, but lately have come to
take them for granted.
Nisei girls are attractive in spite
of the cracks made by some New
Canadian columnists about fig.
ure. legs and the rest of the up
holstery.
Their chief assets are their
jet-black hair, their dark eyes,
and a generally colorful apear-
ance. Even their brownish
complexion is a definite asset.
They don't look washed out like
so many hakujin girls do.
Generally speaking. a Nisei CIR
gives good impression by hel
live personality and sensitiveness
II am inclined to consider sensi.
tiveness, If not carried to extreme
q strong asset. And she usually
knows how to dress.
My latest discovery Is the fact
that Nisei girls are supposed u
have better figure on the whole
than hakujins. This was a dis
tinct surprise to me. but it comes
from a reliable source.
An average Nisei girl is sup
posed to be better proportioned
in the various parts Of her torso,
while on the whole hakujin girls
are not as well proportioned.
Nothing was said about short OF
rather thick legs. But have al
ways suspected that Niseis have
set their ideals too high.
We have only to stand on a
busy street corner and watch the
passer-by. Very few young females
come anywhere near comparison
with Hollywood showpieces.

boil of coastancy, truth and virtue.
Sapphires are usually royal blue,
although they are often white and
yellow. One famous tri-colored stone
is caved into the figure of Con-
fucius, with the head colorless, the
body pale blue and the legs yellow.
The influence that precious
gems have had In mems lives and
the almost legendary exploits un-
dertakcr for them may be illus
trated by the following story of
one of the worlds most valuable
rubies.
In 1920 the Russian nobility
had fled across the Steppes and
over the Siberian plain into Chi
ma. Among those who damned
the city Of Shanghai was a Rus
sian prince. Badly in need of mo-
ney, he visited an aged, wealthy
Chinese.
Tea was served and the count
less ancient formalities were OBJ
served. Then the prince invited
the Chinese to visit his squalid
quarters. The old man then shown
a big lanky American mule which
had been specially groomed for
the visit.
The prince asked the Chinese
what he thought of the mules har-
ness, every inch of which was over
laid with mosaic of turquoise, lapis
malchite, amythest, aquamarine ano
garnet. The mass of semi-precious
stones was set in furnished, time.
blackened silver.
The prince points to the center
of the gaudy piece, where an en-
ormous, squash-shaped faceted Bur.
ma ruby was set. The stone was
as bag as the end of ones thumb
and a deep, rich red.
g.. The ruby was a family heir
loom and once belonged to Peter
the Great. The prince had given
it to his bride as a wedding gift.
She died two years later, and he
locked 1t in his strong box. Until
the Russian Revolution he never
looked at 1t again, and then he
decided TO conceal 1t among the
worthless stones of the mules
harness and bring it safely out
of Russia.
The Chinese brought it fol
$125 900 and sold it to a Bombay
dealer who In turn sold it to ar
Indian prince. TIE Russian went tt
Boston and is now the head of q
successful business.

At some stage IN our childhood
or adolescence. most of us rebel
against the tact that we are JAP
anese. 1t may be that some of this
feeling is reflected in our attitude
TO girls.
Most Niseis I have known close
ly hae confessed to me that at one
time or another they have admired
hakujin girls.
THIS usually happens in the
later stage of adolescence, and
I.don't mind confessing that 1
too have found myself in love
with a couple % hakujin girls.
In one case the somewhat silly
and incOnclusive attachment
lasted well over a year.
Most of us get over this sort of
thing, along with skeptieism in re-
ligion and extreme radicalism in
economic philosophy. And 1 think
that we should also acquire a
better appreciation of Nisei girls
if we have been prejudiced.
I have noticed that a Niseis
opinion of hakujin girls have been
pretty idealized, with Hollywood
glamour.
But it was not until I came east
that I realized fully how well a
Nisei girls stacks up against her
hakujin counterpart. I speak
mostly of physical characteristics
here, though l may be tempted to
give my views on other matters
in another column.
What struck me first on COM
ing ease that surprisingly large
number of bakujins consider the
Nisei girls most attractive, and
have told me so. Some have
even asked for introductions,
