Officials of the Provo Shrine Club, local sponsor, said the event was a success both from the financial standpoint and the viewpoint of topnotch entertainment. The majdfity of the proceeds will go to the hospital; the remainder will be used for other charities such as purchase of wheel, chairs for invalid children, and other Shrine activities. Shrine Clubs of America operate 13 hospitals. There are two additional ones in Canada and one each in Hawaii and (Mexico. The hospitals represent an investment of $16,400,000. Operating expenses total $6,500,000 per year. Any child under 14, whose parents are unable to pay, is eligible for treatment at a Shrine hospital, regardless of race, creed or color. More than 5000 perfyear receive ( treatment. The hospital at Salt Lake City is one of the most modern and best equipped of the Shrine hospitals. From the Utah County area 14 children were referred to the hospital for treatment and hospitalization during 1957. Thus far this year eight have been hospitalized from this area. The Provo Shrine Club deserves commendation for its efforts in g circus. sponsoring the annual. was third the Wednesday's General Chairman Dave Reynolds and his committee worked hard to promote the show, make local arrangements, and handle negotiations with Polack Brothers. Shriners and business and professional men, of Utah Valley, bought blocs of tickets and donated themto deserving children. A large number of children from the Utah State Training School at American Fork attended, as did many patients of the Utah State Hospital. Through the cooperation of the PTA for Exceptional Children and the sponsors, many handicapped children of local communities also saw the circus. In all, more than 5000 children attended the matinee, overflowing the bleachers. A crowd of some 4000 witnessed the evening performance. Jaycees from Lehi to Nephi cooperated with the Shriners by distributing tickets and furnishing transportation. Provo City made the park available at actual cost of operations.

Which brings me back to the original point of departurewhat shall I write -- 1 -- 1 . ; about?-- If that is true basis of immorality. then thesack dress is surely going to put morality on its last legs. If all women go to wearing them the only way you'll know anything about the female form is from memory. Women, bless them, have a right to dress just as ridiculous as they please, and if they want to look like animated potato sacks we poor blundering males are going to admire them just as much, which ojught to prove that womanliness and charm still outweigh the mere glamor of sex. But I think that if women really want to do something for the cause of female pulchritude they should get a law passed making .it illegal for anyone to manufacture slacks for women more than a single in breadth. For women who wear a. larger size the sack dress is most becoming. But no woman, I maintain, can look as bad as even the best built man in shorts. If pants ever go out of style in my time I am certainly going to don a toga. The only men .who can display knobby knees at all gracefully are Scotchmen. And who, may my ancestors forgive me, ever saw a Scotchman? The kilt does dis-- . the tiact eye from the otherwise graceless form of a Scot. I can never bring myself to forgive those Italian actresses who have changed to where it looks women's hair-do'- s like they have exchanged their hair for a wet mop. d womIt used to be that men seldom venen and tured from their natural habitat of Greenwich village which was their own special domain. Now we see everywhere, youths with long, greasy duck-ta- il haircuts, and girls with hair looking like hay stubble that had been cut with a dull mowing machine sickle. Maybe the American craze to dress outlandishly is to subconsciously divert attention from the, results of being, as one of those lithesome Italian actresses said recently,: "The most overfed and undernourished nation on earth." t Because for once I am going on a trip without a typewriter it behooves me xif this colmun is to appear in its accustomed spot and specified day to write this well in advance, and. leave it On my desk for my wife to mail, assuming she isn't too busy to think about it. What to " else fails a columnist there are always two things and juvenile delinquents. I read in the READER'S DIGEST a little item which covers the juvenile field pretty well, I think. It seems that a gang of chickens organized a new game. They gathered by the side of the road and whenever an automobile came along they made a dash for the other side of the road, trying, if possible, to get under the wheels of a car. If one of them backed out they called him a high school student. As for women, they have given columnists thousands of words to write About the new sack, or "Look, Pa, I'm pregnant," style of dress, or chemise, as it is sometimes called.

Q Please say something about Paget's disease. Mrs. V and Mrs. Y. A There are two Paget's diseases which are totally unrelated. One is an inflammatory cancerous condition involving the area of the nipple. The other is a, bone disorder, better called osteitis deformans. The treatment for the first is usually surgical. The second, or osteitis deformans, is. a chronic disease involving the skeleton of grownups and characterized by changes both in the long bones, such as those in the leg, and the flat bones, such as those in the skull. The cause is poorly understood, though the possibility that it is related to the circulation has been suggested. The symptoms vary from person to person, and in about of those afflicted the symptoms and signs are virtually absent. There is no specific treatment, though the administration of a diet containing calcium .phosphorus and a large number of vitamins is generally ordered. Some-times treatments have brought relief from any dis com- fort. smooth, moist and soft as they should like. A dry skin is occasionally present as a result of low action of the thyroid gland, or for other reasons at ,a distance from the skin itself. More commonly a cause cannot be identified. Local applications which suit the individual skin and attempts to prevent excessive drying (such as too frequent bathing or the too frequent use of soaps) are advisable. . Q Would you say something about labyrinthitis. J. L. A the labyrinth Jlies in the inner ear. Labyrinthitis means inflammation of this area. There are probably several forms of labyrinthitis which require different kinds of treatment. Sometimes the word is used for Meniere's disease.

The evidence, so far, is that de Gaulle prefers moderation in North Africa and a strong, but" clearly constitutional government at home something France has long needed. Whether these pref--, erences will prevail against the passionate partisans of more extreme courses of action is the crucial and unanswered question. While today's answers do hot imply a faith that de Gaulle can solve the all but overwhelming problems that beset him' and his cabinet, they do show there is little fear that his leadership is itself a threat to French liberty.

In Russia By Elmo Roper and Associates de When General Charles Gaulle acceded to power on the first of June, the reaction of our State Department was restrained. Some influential segments of the press viewed the event with misgivings. Not so the American public, however. Americans apparently remember de Gaulle as the heroic leader of the Free French forces dur--, ing World: War II, when he, more than any other man, kept alive the pridej and spirit of a nation then doubly humiliated by German oppression and the existence of the French Vichy government. When we a.sked them the . probable impact of his leadership on the French nation, here was the answer: Some ipeople say de Gaulle's leadership would be bad , for France because he would turn out to be a dictator.

One wife said they were sending all three children to summer camps and she was exhausted from buying camp clothes and equipment and sewing in name tapes and taking them for medi"Her cal and dental check-up- s. husband asked wryly if anyone knew how much it would cost to keep three kids in camp. Another wife had all her children enrolled in summer courses. Swimming classes for two, gymnastics for one, art for another. She figured that chauff curing them back and forth would keep her hopping. A third wife said she was taking the children to the family's lakeside cabin and her husband would get down on weekends "when he could." He would be batching it while Mama and 'the children got away. from the heat. Then a husband, whose wife hadn't been heard from, spoke up . . . i ' I and said: 'Tve taken care of the summer plans of our three. I told Joe, who is 13, that his allowance stopped one week, after school ended. That gives him a week in which to find a job. So he'll be busy earning his own spending money. "And I told the girls I want Jane to be able to take it a bit easier this summer. They are go-- f ing to be responsible for part of the housework.

In Europe, kings depended on it as v their source of wealth. In fact, when the Spanish mines began to run low, the king of Spain was delighted that the discovery of America had led him to obtam the great silver mines of Mexico and Peru. The mines at Potosi in Peru produced $4,000,000 worth of silver every year foe 250 years for the kings of. Spain! During the gold rush days in California, people cursed the "black earth" that stuck to their gold dust. It was only by accident that they discovered it was silver ore! , most wideone of the Silver is of all metals. ly distributed Sometimes it is found in solid pieces, and in Norway a piece of solid silver was once fjound of a that weighed in comes silver ton!

In this ore, silver is usually combined with sulphur as silver sulphide, pr is a part of other sulphides, chiefly those of copper,5 lead, or arsenic. In the United States it is found mostly in connection with lead. In fact, silver occurs in so many combinations, that there are a great many different methods for separating it from the other elements. Today the world produces almost 300,000,000 ounces of pure silver a year. Mexico, United States, and Canada are the chief 1 countries. Silver is too soft to be used in its pure state, so it is combined with other metals. Silver coinsN for instance, contain 90 per cent silver and 10 per cent copper. The sterling silver of which jewelry and silverware are made, contains 92.5 per cent silver and 7.5 per cent copper. The name , "sterling," by the way, has a curious origin. It comes from a North German family called Easteriing. The Easterlings were such honest traders that King John of England gave them the job of making the English coins in 1215. They did it so well and truly that their name is still used as a sign of solid worth. All, sterling silver is stamped with a hallmark, either the word sterling or a symbol, depending on the country. Pure silver doesn't tarnish in pure air. When it turns black that's a sign there is sulphur in the air, as from city smoke or oil wells. Next to gold, silver i the easiest metal to work with.
