White House Reinforced Vilh I Skeleton WASHINGTON One day durinj? the Christmas holidays. 1947, the 210-pound butler at the White House walked across the second floor study and produced an "over the waves" sensation' and tinkling of the chandelier chan-delier in the Blue room directly be low. That was the first indication that old age was creeping up on the historic his-toric structure and it was time to call In th experts. A problem presented itself. To build a strong modern structure within the walls of the old which was first occupied by John and Abigail Abi-gail Adams in 1800. There were proposals to tear dpwn the entire building and put up a brand new. more modern home for the president presi-dent But the people of the country would not stand for this and the decision de-cision was made to spend 5.4' million mil-lion dollars on rebuilding within the old shell. Delicate Operation The work of tearing down the interior in-terior is finally finished and the job of rebuilding has begun. The reconstruction recon-struction job should be finished sometime in October 1951. Preserving- the outer wall of the White House has been a delicate operation. op-eration. To keep the stone outer wall and the roof it has been necessary nec-essary to plan a strong steel frame, with new inner walls and floors Workmen dug 25 feet below the surface sur-face to find a solid gravel footing and then built 120 concrete piers to support the outer wall. Steel. H columns resting on separate sep-arate footings will support the floor beams and the base of the roof trusses. Heavy anchor bars will tie the steel columns to the stone wall When this job is done the president's presi-dent's butler, no matter how heavy he is, will be unable to make the chandeliers tinkle merely by walking walk-ing across the floor above. New Features Added Although there will be no changes made in the historical rooms, and they will have the same locations and appearances as before, the White House will not be put back together exactly as It was. The building will have three new featuresa fea-turesa two level basement, a grand stairway and a modernized third floor. The two story basement will provide pro-vide additional space since the height of the White House cannot be changed. There will be offices for a- doctor and a dentist, and a room for a barber. The basement also will house a heating system and air conditioning machinery, and will provide needed storage space. Most striking change will be the new. grand stairway a dignified, winding, open stairway from' the second to the first floor. The old stairway was enclosed. In former days, when cabinet members and their wives marched down the stairs at formal receptions while the red coated marine band played the Blue Danube waltz, they would not be seen except at the bottom two steps. The new third floor was an attic until 1927. Now this floor will have eight guest rooms with baths, all decorated in the same style as the second floor bedrooms. Pilgrim's Progress Heads List of Most Boring Books NEW YORK The Columbia University Uni-versity Press held a poll to determine deter-mine the 10 books readers considered consid-ered the most boring and came up with some surprising answers. Nearly all of the first ten were required reading in high school Some still are. John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's "Pil-grim's Progress" took the doubtful honor of first place. These round out the first 10 in the unpopularity contest: "Melville's "Moby Dick"; Milton's Mil-ton's "Paradise Lost," Spencer's "Faerie Queene," Boswell's "Life of Samuel Johnson," Richardson's "Pamela", Eliot's. "Silas Marner", Scott's "Ivanhoe," Cervantes' "Don Quixote" and Goethe's "Faust" Shakespeare led the field with 17 of his 37 plays gaining mention at least once. However, only one, "As You Like It," ranked as high as 41st place. The balloting cited works ranging from the Old Testament to Dr. Al--fred C. Kinsey's "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" as at once classic and tedious.

"Bringing a telephone into the world" involves in-volves a lot more than just delivering it. It has to be connected with all other telephones, which means that wires, poles, cable and central office equipment must be available. Moreover, as telephones tele-phones are added, the job becomes more complex com-plex and costs (particularly at today's high prices) go up. Keeping abreast of demand for telephone service in Utah has required an expenditure of $18,600,000 since the end of the war. And, if , Utah's telephone needs are to be met, large additional amounts of new capital will be needed. This must come from investors, and people will invest their dollars with us only if our earnings compare favorably with those of other businesses. The Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Co.

He successfully topped the official offi-cial record of 75 leaps by a Yugoslav Yugo-slav in Loi don and the unofficial record of 105 leaps claimed by Juan Iriarte of Buenos Aires. He made his leaps into a plowed field. He wore a sweat shirt and regulation paratroop trousers, boots, and helmet. He taped his arms where the chute straps bound him After each jump, a jeep and a pickup truck met him. The jeep rushed him back to the Piper Cub plane which took him aloft again, while the truck took his chutes to the hangar where six men were k:pt busy repacking them. His only complaint at the start was, "If I can survive those Jeep rides. Til be O. K." Swetich twisted his ankle and sprained his knee on the 51st Jump, and slowed down long enough to have his right leg taped. After the 99th jump his aides, all buddies from the 82nd Airborne Division, decided he should jump from 800 feet Instead of 700 because his reactions re-actions were slower. From 900 feet he would have time to use his emergency emer-gency parachute if necessary. He took only two 5-mlnute breaks throughout the grind, and ate only a milk shake with three eggs in it and a few candy bars.

La. The oyster :ndustry has come up with a new on get the bivalves slightly intoxicated in-toxicated on carbonated water and they" will open their shell and become be-come easy prey of gourmets. Another of the late devices is an electronic machine which liter ally says "phew" tn spoiled oysters Dr. Herbert F. Prytherach developed devel-oped the mickey finn business He found by long experimentation that an oyster can get drunk as a boiled owl- even 1o the point of pnralvsi after sipping carbonated water. As a result nf this sudden disposition, disposi-tion, friend bivalve lets go and opens his shell - ready for the shucker'p knife, Prytherach also learned that stimulation stim-ulation of bivalves by chemical agencies will produce muscular relaxation re-laxation and cause the. shell to open wider. For this reason, the pmrcss of sbnekine oysters commercially commer-cially by stimulation involves use of a trumbllng machine as well as a few minutes immersion In either carbonated or chlorinated water. The method promises to save considerable con-siderable time and labor In the removal re-moval of meat from the oyster shell. It also reduces the percentage percent-age of cut meats, eliminates contamination con-tamination by mud and sand and improves the keeping qualities of the meats. The gourmets believe the oyster's brush with the carbonated water gives it an added taste zest The electronic machine is a little more complicated, but is even more useful in the commercial field, where one tainted oyster can ruin a complete canning cycle. Scientists who worked on the de velopment of this supersensitive detecting de-tecting process outstripped nature by developing tests even more sensitive sen-sitive than the nose for ferreting out unfit seafood.
