m) & \/ Tuesday, July 26, 1949 NEVADA CITY NUGGET Page Three ‘ANSWER MAN’ Q.—Miss Sapho Hosley, Cos Cob, Conn., writes in to find out if there is such a thing as a lawn mower with self-ejecting extra _ blades, and, if so, where she should throw the old ones.

Old lawn mower blades should be thrown off a bridge, never put in a medicine cabinet. Q.—Edgar Woofbaum of Delaware Water Gap asks, ‘‘How many hairs are there on the back of a bee, and is it true a bée likes them parted in the middle?” °” : WW. Straigh ON: 2, <n S a ; AN nee. Se / \N : —_——— ee STAGEXSCREEN AY BY INEZ GERHARD LTHOUGH she now has three network programs on the air, (‘Kate Smith Sings,’’ ‘‘Kate Smith Speaks,’’ both on Mutual, and her two-hour ‘‘Kate Smith’s Music Room”? on ABC,) Miss Smith can sit down and talk with you as if she were just a comfortable, homey woman who knew a lot about cooking and housekeeping. KATE SMITH Unlike many of radio’s women stars, she is not so obsessed by her own career that an absent-minded look comes into her eyes whenever anything else is mentioned. Perhaps it is that warm, human quality that makes her the most listenedto woman on the air. When selecting ‘‘The Ten Outstanding Voices in the World’’ the National Academy of Vocal Arts named Ben Grauer’s as the ‘‘Most Authoritative’? and Dan Seymour’s as the ‘‘Friendliest,’’ because of its warmth and complete naturalness,” Production halted momentarily when Jean Dean walked onto the *“‘Angels in Disguise’ set at Monogram for her featured role in this latest of the Bowery Boys series. Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall and the crew could hardly take their eyes off the gorgeous red-head, who was the original Varga girl model. Formerly under contract at MGM, she plays the feminine lead in **Angels,.”’ Realizing during their travels that the traffic situation is becoming worse everywhere, the March of Time editors decided to do something about it. They consulted experts, got solutions and recommendations and ‘‘Stop—Heavy Traffic’’ is the result. It shows how bad traffic can be, and the methods used by some towns ‘to work ou the problem. ‘ P.

A.--There are sald to be 234,582 hairs on the back of an adult bee, provided it has never had dandruff. Drones part their hair in the middle. Busy bees have no time to bother about . such things. e o ° Q.—A lady in Minneapolis asks: “How many turns does a waltzing mouse make per minute, and is food a factor?” A. — According — to the last quarterly report of the Waltzing Mice Research Bureau, these creatures average three turns per second. This is sometimes slowed down by mice cutting in during the waltz. A pastry diet is bad, too. Q.—A mother in Hoboken, N.J., asks:*“Is it true that tattooed women are barred from Miss America contests?’’ A.—No, but there seems to be no demand for them. The rules are, however, very broad. A woman in Derby, Conn., dyed her skin red, white and blue, and only lost the victory in a Miss Barber Pole of 1948. contest by three lengths. Q.—A seamstress from Tallahassee, Fla., writes to ask: ‘‘Can cornsilk be used to stuff a sofa?’ A.—Yes, cornsilk can be used, and, it is good fun, too. Short lengths of cornsilk make it more exciting. Golden Bantam corn is best. Some people have done wonders stuffing sofas with lint collected from black Q.—A man in Baltimore, Md., asks: ‘‘Will a halibut live in captivity, and where can halibut bowls be bought?”’ A.—A man named Krossshiemovitczosky in Butte, Mont., once kept a male halibut in the bathtub of his home for seven months under the impression it was a salmon. The barracuda is preferred as a house pet if what you want is adventure. Q.—A young woman in Houston, Tex., wants to know who invented the clamrake? A.—I’m glad she asked that question. The curator of the International Clamrake Museum. and Oyster Fork Institute says it was designed by an Englishman named Zilch, patented by two Frenchmen and built by a Canadian clam trapper. This makes it a Russian invention. (Send in your question to our answer man and get the important facts of life cleared up so you can go on about your duties.) UNREST ON CRUSOE’S ISLAND (‘Unrest is reported sweeping Robinson Crusoe’s island in the South Pacific.’”’,—News item.) Crusoe—Friday, you’ don’t seem co-operative today. What’s wrong? Friday—I’ve been Friday long enough. I wanna be Thursday. Crusoe—Why? Friday—It shortens the week. Crusoe—Come, come, you must be joking. : Friday—Not at all. I may even want to make it seem . shorter by having my name changed to Wednesday. Crusoe—We’re the only two men on this island. We’ve been getting along famously. You’ve been my right-hand man. _ Friday—Yes, but I feel a pull to the left. Crusoe — Not here, surely. We’ve been very happy together, have we not? Friday—There must be a capitalistic plot behind it. somehow. I’m so happy it must be’ wrong, one way or another. & s a Crusoe—Now run along and fetch + me some coconuts. Friday—There you go exploiting me! Crusoe—Look, we are both in the same boat. How could one exploit the other? Friday—If I had a copy of the Daily Worker I could tell you. This island is so remote I don’t even get Pravda. Corner Richard H. Wilkinson F PROFESSOR AARON CHESwick was famous he was not aware of this fact. He was too busy with his experiments in the field of chemistry, with teaching the undergraduates of Mapleridge College the rudiments of elementary Minute . science, with «gs writing papers Fiction and books in which he set forth (in an almost apologetic style) the results of his experiments, and with reading avidly the works of such great scientists as Mons. Oliver Davillier and Senor Alfredo Valle Indan, both of whom had long ago won his respect and admiration. He was an unpretentious looking little man, this Professor Cheswick, with pale blue eyes and hornrimmed glasses and a pasty complexion. He wasn’t one to attract attention or to assert himself. He went about with a perpetual faraway look in his eyes. There came a time when a problem presented itself that challenged his skill and knowledge. He labored
over it for days. The days became weeks and the weeks months. At last, worn and haggard, the little man was ready to admit defeat. Time. after time he returned: to it, only to find himself defeated. He visited every library within miles, read every book by Davillier and Indan, as well as other great scientists that was available, but without finding the answer. In the end Profesor Cheswick had an idea. It was summer. He needed a vacation. Why not take a month off, visit Europe and perhaps call on Davillier and Indan and ask thern personally to clear up the matter that so burdened his mind? A week later Professor Cheswick sailed for France. The little school teacher was a lonely figure. He struck up a few acquaintances. He wasn’t the type to attract people. But he enjoyed the trip. This was something he had never done before. He was glad when the boat docked. Eagerly he looked ahead to his meeting with Mons. Davillier. But alas! The next day Professor Cheswick learned that Mons. Davillier had gone to America. for his summer holiday and was not. expected to return for another month. The little scientist was depressed and disappointed. His time was short. Madrid, whete lived Senor Indan was a long way off. Yet it could be reached, he thought suddenly and excitedly, by plane in a very short while. E WAS DELIGHTED to learn that Senor Indan was in Madrid. Yes, it was difficult to obtain an the man he respected more than interview with the great man. He was constantly being pressed for interviews. What was it the American wanted to see him about? A problem? Ah, yes, Senor Indan was requested to solve so many problems, It was very, very doubtful if he would grant an interview for such a slight matter. However, if the American would care to take his chances, Senor Indan was to appear at a reception on Tuesday night. Possibly there would: be an opportunity to ask his question’. . Professor Cheswick attended the reception. He stood in line for hours, a quiet, unassuming, unimportant looking little man, waiting for his chance to speak to the great Senor Indan. It came at last. At last the Mapleridge school teacher and scientist stood before He was so overcome by awe that for a moment he just stared. Senor Indan ' frowned impatiently and Professor Cheswick found his voice. He stated his question. The Senor’s brows arched in surprise. “An unusual question, Senor,” he said. ‘‘Frankly, I cannot answer it. There is only one man in the world with enough knowledge and learning to find the answer. He is one of your own countrymen. My good friend Mons. Davillier is at this moment in America seeking an interview with this wizard whom the whole scientific world respects and admires, yet who is so absorbed in his work that. it is difficult to persuade him to appear in public. I refer to Professor Aaron anyone else in the world. Cheswick of Mapleridge college.’ LAST WEEK'S ANSWER 8 LIA]U]OMMGIO. ATS g ACROSS 51. Town '19,Garment —Pst fete tte 1.
