similar, there is much difference
in size and in Key West. They
are often misunderstood, and are
most beneficial birds to mankind,
since they destroy rodents and
harmful snakes.
The majestic American Eagle,
the Golden Eagle, and the Horned

is known as natures best mouse

Colorful Cacti blossoming In the

spotted skunk for a prominent

In the highest cliffs and sheer
est precipices along the Pacific
Ocean were found crevices in
which nests Of the Peregrine fall
con were discovered. The audi
ence tensely followed every
movement of DR.. Hill and his
companion scientists, DR.. Woolf
and DR.. Work, as they scaled the
cliffs to the nests high above the

ers, safety ropes fast about their
waists, descended to a point near
the nest, each taking his turn
to reach q safe foothoId, with
ropes secured TO another man

of the cliff.
The search produced not only
the nest and eggs, but also the

HAL
BOYLE
SAYS

NEW YORK R-The best way to
get rich in America isn't to cater
to millionaires. There aren't
enough of them, even in Texas.
The best target is housewives.
They have more money than any,
body except Uncle Sam himself.
Three merry young brothers now
have a IL million dollar a year
business as a result of learning
this simple fact. They built their
business in three years by getting
rid of the spots in front of house
wifes' eyes--in this case, rug spots.
But the brothers, who gave up
other careers to gamble on rug
cleaning duet developed by
their dad, wasted considerable eff
fort before discovering that there
is no market like a housewife.
"After we beat our heads against
the wrong wall enough times, we
got smart" is the way Clayton
puts it.
Clayton is head of the firm. His
brothers, Jerold, 81, former COM
mercial artist, ana Sheldon. 2s, a
radio announcer, are vice presi.
dents.
Their success story outdoes Ho-
ratio Ager.
In 1S45 their father. B. M. Hush,
sold his small chemical plant in
Chicago and retired to Florida and
went into the hotel business. But
he retained patent rights on rug
cleaner and over the years con-
tinued to improve it.
Three years ago he called his
three sons in and proposed they
drop the jobs they held and go into
business with him. He told them
he was confident he had a product
that would sell if properly mar
keted.
81 have faith in it-and I'll put
my life savings into it." he said.
The three brothers had faith in
their dad. They joined him, hired
a small chemical plant to manu-.
facture the rug cleaner, and start
ed beating the highways, byways,
and bush paths of the nation to
sell it.
They concentrated on industrial
customers-hotels, movie chains,
big commercial rug cleaning firms.
Then, early in 1851, national
magazine In a survey of rug clean
ers, recommended their product.
Housewives wrote in by the thou
sands.
THAT showed US our true mar
kettle home itself" recalled
Sheldon.
Today the brothers have four
plants scattered around the coun-
try. They have travelled some 600.-
900 miles. Their dad recently re-
tired again. on an annual pension
that runs into six figures. Their
business crossed II million dollars

Notice Of Intent

me now as c. Gonzales Mendoza.
The reason for the switch of ini-
tails should be obvious. A Grade

| if he is TO succeed. Not only that,
but if the reading public must
milk me of my juicy thoughts
they should grant me some con-
cessions. An awkward name like
Charles G. Mendoza is a terrible
handicap to overcome. You must
agree that c. Gonzales Mendoza
has a certain flair, dashing air,
quite debonair, and also more
| syllables. Those who dislike me
could choke on a name like that.
If anyone is dubious about the

Canada Reports
$9,OOO,OOO From
July Fishing Crop

VICTORIA, BIC, Fishermen
reaped a harvest of nearly $9,0O0,-
900 during last July and as usual,
a small, firm-bodied salmon called
sockeye was the chief crop.
Trade Minister Chetwand said
Saturday this figure - actually
$8,743, 000-was eight percent be-
low dollar value for the same per-
iod last year, despite a greater
value Of fish caught.
Visiting the waters which gave
up this harvest and meeting the
men who brought it in,is Canada's
minister of fisheries, James Sin
clair.
At Manu-, on Fitzhugh Sound,
he saw one of the largest Gamer
les on the coast, working at capac-
ity on the late summer pack Of
chums and pinks.
He was shown a new by-prod-
uct of the salmon industry-pro-
duction of leather from salmon
skins. The skins are stripped neat
ly from the fish by a special ma
chine, cut to size, then sailed.
The strips are sold to the United
States, tanned and processed.
The leather resembles snake
skin and is tougher than calf,
widely used in the manufacture of
shoes and purses.
In. Coal Harbor, in Quatsino
Sound, the fisheries minister saw
the processes which put to mark
etable use every inch Of the whale
carcass from snout to tail. The
whalers, despite handicaps of fog
and general rough weather, are
aiming at a catch Of $50 whales
compared with last years 465.

Army-Air Force Ruling Allowing Hard

Liquor Industry Spokesman And Dries

WASHINGTON, R-Some liquor
industry spokesman joined voices
Saturday with temperance advo-
Gates in condemning new Army
and Air Force regulations allow
ing hard drinks to be sold to COM
missioned and commissioned
officers on military posts.
There were expressions of con-
Germ from members Of Congress,
too, along with one Of approval
But other lawmakers, asking not
to be quoted by name, expressed
the hope that the furore would die
down before Congress reconvenes
in January. Said one:

and its possessions. Such clubs,
while on government property, are
not government enterprises. They
are run by their members under
service regulations.
Hammers ISchumberg, Washing
ton representative of the National
Retail Liquor Package Stores AS
ISOLATION, said the new policy was
legally, morally, and ethically
wrong" Schumberg went on to
say in a statement:
This is completely contrary to
the announced intention of the
Eisenhower administration to dis
courage government competition
with private business. If the policy
is allowed to stand, there will be
a mass uprising against the Re
publican Party and the mothers Of
boys going into the service will
lead it,"
In Cleveland, William w. Mitch
ell, executive secretary of the Ma
tional Alcoholic Beverage Control
Associations, said the loss in rev.
enue to states will be considerable
and that some liquor dealers will
be driven out of business.
However, a spokesman for the
Distilled Spirits Institute, a dis
tillers' association, said "there
should be no unnecessary discrim-
ination against members Of the

confidence that mo looseness will
be tolerated in the handling of

PAN AM TO FLY THE JET STREAMS

Pan American Anyways has asked permission from
the Civil Aeronautcs Commission to initiate high jet
stream, nonstop passenger flights the North Pac-
fc Ocean, connecting such cities Seattle or Portland
with Far East cities like Tokyo.
The streams, usually found at high attitudes travel
up to 100 miles hour and passenger liners speed
up their ground speed considerably by flying inside
them Pan American officials reveal that PAA air
liners heading for Hawaii from Japan often get in the
air stream which passes Midway and fly with it to
that island outpost.
This speeds up the Tokyo-Honolulu by seven
hours and enables the PAA airliner to make the
nonstop though away from the jet stream
after arriving Midway. The airliner would take
advantage of North Pacific jet streams to initiate
Tokyo West Coast nonstop flights over the Pacific
The PAA request opens up new horizons in the
aviation world, for jet streams not common only
over the Pacific, but in most areas of the world.
The opportunity is one to speed up travel without
adding to fuel operation costs. Because the flight
would require less time, the operation cost could
tualy be reduced such flights Jet airliners oper
ating in jet streams to speed up already fast schedules
might be the eventual outcome of evolutionary progress
now being made in aviation circles
