Talking Tomcaf Declines
To Converse With keWsmen

BALTIMORE, MD.-Dr. Clara
B. Fishpaugh, retired college
professor, has a big black TOM
cat named Xxi. She and the
cat get along very well. In fact,
she says, she and the cat hold
frequent conversations.
According to DR.. Fishpaugh,
Kiki first talked about four
years ago. She says she had
brought him some lamb kidneys
and informed the cat that a
"Mr. Will" had sent them.
DR.. Fishpaugh says she asked
Xxi if the cat didn't think he
should thank Mr.. Will for the
kidneys.
"Kiki distinctly replied
YEAH" says DR.. Fishpaugh.
Since that time, so the story
goes, the cats vocabulary in
creased enormously. DR.. Fish
paugh says that often on hot
days, Kiki will come crawling
home, collapse on a cushion and
remark that he's Jaw in"
1t seems Kiki lost his patience
when told about a cat which
could MARBLE silent Night"
warbled a few notes himself, as
though there was nothing to it.
However, when DR.. Fishpaugh
and Kiki held a press confer
ence at which the aim was to
demonstrate Kiki's talents as
a conversationalist, the cat ut
tered not a single word.

LOS ANdELEO (ANF "a
The Moments had filed suit
against their daughter in April
1948, asking that the court force
her to repay the $4,000 which they
spent on her education. They con-
tended that their daughter had
signed a note for $4,000 to them
in 1911 in Plainfield, N. J. when
she was 23 years old. She paid
back 1915 Of this amount in Aug
ust, 1916. They sued for the bal
ance, plus six percent interest.
DR.. Norment, wife of publicist
Samuel C. Bother, testified she
originally signed a note in 1887
when she was 10, as a record of
what her parents said they had
spent on her. They threatened to
stop sending her to school if she
didn't sign. In 1941, after she had
been in medical school two years,
her parents made her sign another
note, which they stated would re-
place the 1887 record and would
represent merely a record of what
had been spent on her.
She told the court she had not
wanted to spend their money at
all, prefering to work when she
graduated from high school in 49,
35. She said, however her parents
insisted and promised to pay for
her additional education.
Judge Ford found the promis-
sorry note" not binding and en-
forceable" and awarded DR.. Nor
ment costs, of the suit.

stantiate the belief that fish have
sore mouths in August. Occasion
ally one Is caught that will have
parasites under the skin and in
the flesh, but 1t is doubtful II this
condition has any effect on the
activity of the fish.
No one really knows just why
fishing slows down in late sum
mer, but there is one theory that
seems very logical which many
authorities agree upon. Plant and
animal life reach their peak dur
ing the last weeks of summer and
the fish have plenty Of natural
food to eat; therefore, they
really don't get very hungry and
aren't attracted TO artificial bait.
Later, in mid-september when
the plant life settles the water
will clear and fishing will usually
get back TO normal. As a rule,
fall fishing is excellent.

Belief That H-bomb
Could Destroy Earth
Held to Be Absurd

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM. - Could
the hydrogen bomb really destroy
the earth? That's question which
arose Immediately following reports
of the bombs destructive potential.
But Prof. Max Cosyns, Belgian
atom specialist, describes as "ab-
solutely absurd" any reports that
even 1000 hydrogen bombs could
destroy the earth.
The professor expressed that con-
viction in an interview. Cosyns, pro-
fessor of energy research at Brus-
sells university, said destruction Of
the earth would mean obliterating
nine-tenths of its people.
To do this, he said, ''it would be
necessary to destroy 10 billion
square kilometers (3,861, 900 square
miles) of populated territory.
Even if the targets were hit ac-
curately each bomb would have to
destroy a radius of 125 kilometers
(78 miles, to cover this area.
''In comparison. the pr ent
atomic bomb has an effective range
of 600 meters (670 yards). At this
range it is deadly for 80 per cent
of the people in the area. Therefore
to get the desired result it would
be necessary to have bomb 10 mil
lion times more powerful than the
atomic bomb.
perhaps it would have to be
billion times more powerful, taking
into account the limited height Of
the atmosphere, which reduces ef-
ficiency once a force hundred
times greater than the atomic bomb
has been reached"
The professor estimated the man.
ufacture of a hydrogen bomb as
possible lust as the manufacture
of an atomic bomb was possible in
1884, only we are not so far ad-
vanced."
BY this he apparently meant the
hydrogen bombs at least 10 years
away, as it took 10 years of re-
search after 1894 before the first
atomic bomb was exploded.

Relax, Folks! Old Styles
OF '20's Not Coming Back

LEXINGTON, KY.-The ladies'
and gentlemen, too, for that matter
may breathe easier, for the wom-
en- are not going back to those ugly
fashions of the 1920's.
There is the word of a beauty ex-
pert on that.
Miss Mary Sturdevant, beauty ad-
wiser for widely-known cosmetics
firm, is the authority for the assur-
ance. She says:
IF you believe all the fashion ex-
perts, you are probably braced for
another revolution in style for the
coming spring season. Back to the
'2O's', they cry-and Immediately
we get mental pictures of the
shapeless and, for the most part,
very unflattering styles that some
of us must remember from that era.
And the memory causes many
shudder of apprehension.
Actually, we are not going back
to those ugly fashions-so relax.
Personally, I feel that what we are
calling 1920 style is really re-
newal of interest in general long
term trend toward clothes for mod
ern life rather than turning back
of the fashion clock"
