RUSSIAN TEEN-AGERS

were popular in the United States SOME years ago.
It's the American "big beat" in music that the
Soviet authorities don't like, but that will be dis
cussed in next weeks installment of this series.
Suffice it to saw here that many Russian teen
ayers have heard of Elvis Presley but they're not
familiar with the other young American idols
BY and large. Russian youths would be con-
sidered poor dancers on American standards, but
occasionally teen-ager appeared on the festival
dance floor-usuallv girl-who did very well.
OF course. in the difficult Russian folk dances,
no American could even come close to most of
the Russians.

Waving at Girls
Strictly Business
In This System

DENVER (AP).-If you wave
to a girl on the balcony at Den
yer's Union Station. she may
toss you a note. But it's strictly
business.
The girl is following a 40
year-old system designed to
save a long walk.
Miss Jessie Frank Of the
Western Union office on the sta
tons main floor explains it:
Whenever a secretary in an Of
fee on the second or third floor
has a telegram to send, she
presses a button which buzzes
in Miss Franks Office.
Then Miss Frank walks out
into the waiting room to catch
the folded message. But If she
is busy she may say to a Gus
toner or a man waiting for his
train: do you see a girl UP on
the balcony? Please wave to
her" He does and the telegram

Chateau Tex
Is a Worry
For Picusso

AIx-EN-PROvENCE, France,
May 81 (AP) Some of the
worlds most valuable paintings
are hanging haphazardly on
the walls of an old chateau 10
miles south Of AK.
Nails have been driven into
the walls Of the old guards
room to hang the collection
Some of the pictures are
stacked against the walls
awaiting a place.
This is the 60-room Chateau
OF Vauvenargues. Artist Pablo
PicaSso bought the place, with
its $500 acres. about 10 months
ago. Since then he has been
making repairs and moving in
his belongings.
That's Matisse's daughter,
Marguerite. He gave it to me
in 1907" he told a visitor.
This one is the best Modigli-
ami there is. ! bought it from
him in 1904"
Gauguin, Rouault and many
other famous names of French
art are represented.
The bathroom has a Picasso
fresco. He interrupted his
shave one morning to paint a
forest with a flute-playing
fawn in the foreground. The
colors came from cans left by
house painters.
Picasso has only one worry
about his new place-taxes.
But he's keeping his sense of
humor about it. He told this
story:
"A friend of mine asked the
tax collector not to beat me
over the head too much. You
know what the tax collector
answered? Don't worry about
him as long as his paintings
bring rs million francs $751;
000) like one did at London
sale recently
But if I had wanted to
sell it when I painted it. they
wouldn't have given me so
francs for it. I didn't even
sell it. / gave it to a friend"
With that Picasso let out
a lusty roar that echoed
through the old chateau.

Aunt Carol sometimes gives

usually she just wastes my
time with gossip. I have

This aunt has always been
a good friend to me and my

through college and before
my father died he told me
to always look out for her
because there is really nobody
else in the family she can
depend upon.

that she certainly likes to

1t is hard for Aunt Carol
being the way she is with no
close friends. You can really

walls to talk to.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
The person who has the
biggest problem in this case
is Aunt Carol and we don't
believe that Sandra is help
ing things much by being too
tiniid to speak up. John isn't
helping either when he adj
vises Sandra not to hurt
Aunt Carols feelings.
The fact is that some
things must hurt, and one of
them is the knowledge that
we need someone who doesn't
particularly need or want us.
There are harsh ways and
kind ways of telling of a

kind way will hurt.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
OphthoImonoscope Finds Clues
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

MANY A READER wonders
iust what it is the doctor is
looking for when he shines
that little light in the eye.
The patient has probably been
hearing that no physical ex-
animation is complete without
an examination of the "back
of the eye" with an ophthal-
moscope.
When the doctor looks at
your retina with this instru-
ment he has a unique view.
He can actually see the struc-
ture of the arteries and veins
in that region. This gives him
Q clue to illness elsewhere.
For example, consider high
blood pressure. In Grade No.
/, hypertensive disease, early
changes are a narrowing and
sclerosis Of the vessels. In
Grade No. 2. the blood vessels
become more narrowed and
tortuous, and there is COM
preston of arteries and veins.
In the more intense Grad No.
8, all these changes are present
plus evidence of hemorrhages
and exudates. In Grade No.
4, there is also present what
we call papilledema Swelling
of the optic nerve).
But think of all the other
clues an ophthalmoscopic ex-
animation may offer. If the
doctor finds an inflammation
of the optic nerve mead he be-
comes suspicious Of such in
fections as meningitis or
sinusitis. Sometimes chronic
lead poisoning is suspected
after such an eye examination.
If the optic nerve is afro
phied (shrunken) we think Of
the possibility of such condi-
tons as multiple sclerosis or
methyl alcohol poisoning.
Long standing diabetes and
nephritis show characteristic
changes. Sometimes we see
the first evidence of brain
tumor.
In spite of all these dis
heartening possibilities, what
the doctor finds most often is
a normal "eye-ground."
Don't consider a physical
examination complete if your
doctor doesn't use the oph-
kaleidoscope.
