EARLY Telephone Call Puts
Puzzled Firemen on the Spot

ST. JOSEPH. MO.-Who received
Mrs. Rounds fire alarm at foul
o'clock in the morning? That's the
question.
Mrs. Dorothy Round discovered
the blaze in her apartment house
and rescued Miss Frances Gabhart,
%, another resident. who suffered
minor burns.
Then Mrs. Round dialed the num-
Der she supposed was the fire de-
partment. When she reported the
fire a sleepy voice replied:
Really, lady, this is an unusual
hour to take our trucks from the
arehouse. They would just get dirty.
And think of our men who are
asleep. Put out the fire yourself"
Other occupants Of the apartment
house went ahead and put out the
fire.
Mrs. Round reported to a news
paper what she considered the non
chalance, if not arrogance, of the
fire department"
When advised the fire department
said this was the first they had
heard about Mrs. Rounds fire.
Firemen suspect that some st.
Joseph citizen, who mistook an err
ing call for a joke, is mighty red
faced today.

The measure is the first steI

Liquor Investigating Commit
tees Continued: House and senate
investigating committees were
each granted $1,000 to function
for the next two years, during
which they may subpoena wit
nesses and hold hearings or in
vestigations.
House committee claims al
ready filed, with more to come,
now total more than $4,000.
The senate committee spent only
a few hundred dollars.
The committee reports differed
OF almost every issue: loss on
slow-moving brands of liquor, ex-
else taxes, cost of filtering, is
suing of licenses, and the manner
in which the board members have
conducted the business.
The reports were similar in
only one respect: neither named
any individual connected with the
liquor board as having acted dis
honestly or having violated any
law.

Tube Makes Magnetism
Visible as Light Rays

NEW YORK. - Magnetism can
now be made visible for the first
time by a new light, New York
university officials announced. In
stead of the iron filings that every
high school student uses to show
the curved lines of magnetism, the
new way shows them as blue rays
of light.
The light is made by a tube that
shoots out a lot of electrons. These
are particles too small to be seen
even with the greatest microscopes.
The electrons lin. up just like
the iron filings. They also emit the
blue glow which traces the myster-
ious Zines of force" The new tube
was invented by S. J. Tetenbaum.

Worlds Largest Telescope
Floats on Lubricating Oil

SCHENECTADY, N. Y. - tt e
million pounds of moving parts Of
the famous 20O-inch Mount Palomar
telescope are kept floating on lub-
ricating oil to prevent friction.
Steady streams of oil are pumped
through small holes, keeping the
telescope lifted and rolling, like
a ball in a vertical jet of water,
said A. C. ingalls,, an editor of
Scientific American.
This reduces the friction so
much that if you were to lay your

Regardless of aftermath views,
some good and needed measures

ment and entertainment features
to build, and these all combined
make for or detract from a sue
cessful fair. Failure in any one
feature reflects on the whole.
wish to call you attention to
the entertainment feature of the
fair, since a large part of the at
tendance are women and young
folk. Most people, country and
town, like to go to annual events
such as fairs and expositions-
some to see and study exhibits,
while others go for entertainment
mainly, and for that reason we
need wholesome entertainment,
which is most sure to improve in
terest and attendance.
Today, the opportunity for a
fair to justify it's existence is
greater than ever before. The
Mississippi State Fair of 1949 has
been planned with the knowledge
that this Exposition has it within
it's power to instill in those who
come in contact with it a challenge
to greater achievement, and a just
pride in their chosen vocation.

Fair time is harvest time, when
fruits, vegetables, crops and live
stock are at their very best.
Months of hard work on livestock,
crops and homemaking projects
point toward your State Fair. The
boys and girls strive to win out
in the show ring, with demonstra-
tions and other contests and for
that reason | call fairs wonderful
training ground for our rural peo-
pie, and why you should not miss
visiting your Mississippi State
Fair this year.
You will want to see the new
Livestock Building, one of the best
of its kind in the South, where
hundreds of the very best live
stock in this country will be ex-
hibited in competition for great
honors. Farmers try to produce
cattle that can earn champion
ship, try to produce poultry that
win blue ribbons, and try to pro-
duce other products of champion
ship caliber. We all know that
"styles" change = that judges
change the "ideal' that they have
in mind. What is it then that
guides the judges in selecting Win
ners? What does he have in mind :?
To put it briefly, farm products
of championship caliber are those
which bring greatest profit to
farmers, because they can be
raised with greatest efficiency, and
bring highest prices from consum-
ers.
Mississippi fair visitors will
take note of improvement and
progress being made on your State
Fairgrounds, with greater inn
provement to be made in the fu-
ture, which will effect the inter-
est and quality of fairs to be had.
Let me state that much study and
planning is necessary for the fair
to be the greatest success, and the
public does not generally realize
that there are many separate ed
ucational departments of fair.

and Wander Nicer working, the Reds
are menace.
Here in April we had five
National league ball clubs who
believed they could win tho
flag, and three others who be-
lieved they had a chance to
move up and win their share
of games.
At this spot, the Dodgers, Braves,
Cardinals and Pirates are closer
than two Scotchmen. The Giants
must show they belong with this
group.
The National league mix-up this
season can be one of the closest
races among more teams than any
scramble either league has known
so far. It could be that way if
YOU study the eight teams that will
soon get down to serious work.
The Trouble with IFS
The main trouble with IFS" In
that they seldom work out any too
well. Bob Teller is a big IF in
Cleveland, but Teller is getting
along. Even Boudreau is worried
over his ability to keep his curve
or his fast ball burning. Lemon and
Bearden have yet to prove they
are 20-game winners over a period
Of time.
Joe DiMaggio and the Yankee in
field have yet to prove they are
up to pennant-winning play. This,
of course, means DiMaggio's af-
flicted heel. To have this heel in
shape all season would be big
boon to baseball in general just
as much as it would be to the
Yankees. DiMaggio has been too
brilliant star to be missed with
out mourning.
No one can say, this far In
advance, that the Red Sox
pitching staff will be any better
than 1t was a year ago. Joe
McCarthy's spring attitude
makes you think everything is
o. K, but Hughson, Harris and
Ferriss still have to prove they
are the pitchers they were in
1916.
Billy Meyer is more than worried
over Pittsburgh's full and firm be-
lief in pennant year. In a race
such as the National League has on
hand this season, Meyer knows his
team can play good baseball and
finish fifth. He knows the number
of good breaks any team needs to
win in race of this type.
Billy Southworth knows he will
need better Warren SPAIN than
the left-hander was year ago. So
many rumors Of dissension will
not be inclined to help his club.
Any outfit that would turn against
Billy Southworth can't be pennant-
minded.

win. I agree with them. Pittsburgh
is much stronger than it was a
year ago.
"Murry Dickson will make a
difference of 10 games. Bob Ches-
mes will be even better. Kiner is
due to hit better. You can also
make a note that Pittsburgh will
outdraw every team in the Nation
al League as it did a year ago. I
mean the Giants, Dodgers, Braves
and Cubs.
And I'm not being comical or
funny when I pick Billy Meyers
bunch on top. I don't believe every
body in Pittsburgh can be wrong"
In the course of the next
hour or SO, wandering here and
there, we ran into seven ex-
perts who had been in Florida.
Here are their selections: two
for the Dodgers, two for the

and one for Pittsburgh.
The Giants? Since this crop of
solicitors had come up from Flor
ida, they knew nothing about the
New Workers.. But Horace Stoneham
and Leo Durocher are being quoted
to the general effect that Giant
pitching will be quite sufficient,
coupled with the power that Giant
bats have carried. This means that
at least five teams have the "hope
eternal" torch blazing these April
days.
And you can be certain that the
Cubs, Phillies and Reds will sup
ply more trouble than usual, es-
pecially if the Reds can shove
Ewell Blackwell into the picture.
