AIl-Purpose Grease
For Tractor Suggested

Farm tractors really get a
workout during the summer.
With farmers working them long
hours, it's easy to overlook some
OF the little things that will make
the tractor work better and last
longer.
An all-purpose grease - one
that can be used on the water
pump. wheel bearings and any
other place grease is needed
will speed up fabrication. One
grease gun will do the whole job.

Farmers who face the problem
Of successfully controlling in

mer must rely on sanitary meas
ures supplemented with chemi-
Gals, according to entomologists
at the University Of Maryland.
A thorough cleanup that de-
stroys fly breeding areas will
greatly reduce fly abundance.
Tight screens on doors and win
dows provide protection against
flies coming in from other breed

Livesto C kmen, particularly
dairymen, should not overlook

The private-life occupations of
three members of the armed
forces stumped q panel Of ex-
perts at the 18th annual install
lation luncheon given by the
B'nai Birth Women, Argo. yes
terday at the Mayflower Hotel.
Participants in the quiz pro-
gram, patterned after the popu-
lar whats My Line?" televi-
sion show, were three patients
from the Bethesda Naval Medical
Center.
Hardest to guess was Pfc.
Alejo DiaZ. U. s. M. c., of Puerto
Rico. who was a sugar cane
analyst before entering the
service.
With Frank Blair, WNBW-
TV commentator, as moderator,
the panel experts had as tough
time as did the proverbial five
blind men in identifying the
elephant.
The panel, consisting of Rep
resentative Chudoff, Democrat,
of Pennsylvania: Ruth Crane of
WMAL-TV, and Mark Evans, of
WTOP-TV, got off to a good
start when they established that
Pvt. DiaZ's job had something
to do with services for a manu-
facturer. But from there on, the
questioning took some fantastic
turns.
Pvt. Diaz was asked if the
product he dealt with was some
thing to wear, something bigger
than the panelistS table, some
thing you drive or ride in, and
finally as the score neared the
top so points, something you buy
in a grocery store. Even a hint
from moderator Blair that Pvt
Diaz hailed from Puerto Rico
only brought the conjecture the
serviceman made rum or was a
bartender.
The two other participants in
the program also gave the panel
a hard time before their oc-
cupations were guessed. Sergt
Ethelyn E. Raugh of the Women
Marines, who was a dietician,
was asked if she was a masseuse,
and Navy Teleman First Class
Pat A. Riccardi, held out for the
correct title, "hair stylist" even
after one of the panelists asked
If he was a barber.
AS on the original television
program, the B'nai Birth pro-
gram also had a mystery star.
The enthusiastic round of ap-
plause that greeted Dorothy Shay
when she walked on to the
stage. however, almost gave her
away before the blindfolded
panelists had chance to iden-
tify the Park Avenue hillbilly'
song stylist.
In keeping with the spirit of
the occasion, which honored
men and women of the armed
forces. Sergt. Lindsey Bergen of
the United States Army Band
opened the luncheon with sing
ing of the National Anthem. ac-
companied by Sergt. Albert
Cooper.
A highlight Of the program
was The presentation of a check

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

\Today I am bringing you in
formation which will help you
determine what sort of a figure
you have and what kind of a
corset or girdle will be best for
you. If you have figure which
is not in the normal" group you
should consult a we'll trained
corsetier about any of the follow
ing problems.
l. Large above the waist. very
full bust or fat diaphragm or fat
shoulders, or all three.
2. If you are heavy below the
waist-a fat abdomen or large
hips or heavy thighs or all three.
3. You are short wasted If you
measure eight inches or less
from the underarm to the waist
line. ....
4. You are long wasted if you
measure more than 10 inches
from underarm to natural waist
line.
S. If you have an unusually
heavy abdomen you will need a
special support in this region, for
appearance and for health.
6 Sway-back. A girdle can
help with this.
Think of these characteristics
when you go to buy a foundation.
Here are some suggestions
which will be helpful to you. If
your hips are large in propor-
tion to your waist. consider the
hips first. Try on a girdle which
fits the hips and then have the
waist adjusted. You will prob
ably like a girdle with hooks or
lacing. This makes it easy to
slip the girdle over the hips and
also fits snugly when fastened.
A high-waisted girdle or corset
is good choice for the woman
with large waist, or you may
prefer one that can be laced in
Cne WalSC.
If you have a large abdomen
you should select a corset which
opens all the way down the front
or the back. Additional support
can be added with inner belts
or fabric or elastic
For general overweight a full
length opening is advisable, with
hooks and lacing. This garment
is strongly boned. This is for
the truly stout woman whose alb
domen and back must be sup
ported.
OF course you all know
think that women should lose
weight with calorie counting and
strengthen muscles with exer-
else. but there is a certain type
girdle for every figure. and your
health and comfort as well as
your looks are affected by the
type you wear and the At you
get.

A. It depends on whether the

the use of raise" as applied to

two words can be. Both come

In all words formed from helico-,

to rhyme with bell. Helicopter,
then, should be pronounced:
HELL-i-KOP-ter.
The pronunciation "HEE-li-
KOP-ter" violates the etymol-

that helicopter comes from hell,
"the sum-" and "copter" (there is
no such word or combining

from the hello group, heliotrope,

like, properly have a long "e"

Agriculture is uncertain unless
he can come up with a program
that will convince both Congress
and the farmer.
The key to the situation is
President EiSenhower's attitude
These politicians say that Gen
Eisenhower properly is standing
behind Mr.. Benson in the cur
rent uproar over farm policies, in
order to give his Secretary real
chance to produce a program for

That program, and the way he
presents it, will be Secretary
Benson's test in the eyes of

Unless He Solves Farm Problem

that he is only reluctantly sup
porting continuance of 80 per

he has said before that the

Secretary Benson's political
goose may be cooked.
However, Leonard w. Hall,

f1dence that the administration
will come up during the next

program "far better than we
now have. He said the farm
problem would be removed as a

Benson a political burden in

him. Mr.. Hall replied, mo" !"
