How’s Your Health
Within the next week or so the most ambitious house to-house health check in California history will be begun. The job will consist or ringing the doorbells of 12,000 homes and asking an estimated 35,000 individuals: "How are you feeling?" It will take a year.
The questioners will be U.. Census Bureau employees, contracted for by the State Department of Public Health, operating with a $207,000 research grant from the National Institute of Health, which is part of the U.S. Public Health service.
"We'll try to learn the major and minor causes of sickness, and of home accidents," explained Dr. Lester Breslow, chief of the State Bureau of Chronic Diseases.
"Also how much absenteeism is involved and how many Californians are invalids and how many are hospitalized."
"The answers will help us in directing and focusing preventive services, and in allocating resources for aid to the disabled, health care for older persons, hospital and nursing home construction—any number of specific problems."

No doubt a worthwhile program. But our heart goes out to the interviewers who will confront garrulous characters who love to run on about their ailments, imaginary or otherwise—and to tell, in endless detail, about their operations. They'll earn their salaries!
Getting Better
Track experts are becoming convinced that there is virtually no such thing as a "ceiling" on athletic achievements. Not many years ago the world shotput record was a little over 51 feet. Yet today Parry O'Brien is heaving the iron ball consistently past the 60 foot mark. The four-minute mile, once thought impossible, is now a matter of record. In the half mile the time of one minute and 52 seconds was a world record back about 1912. The other day a high school boy came within a fraction of a second of that time. In the same meet another youth leaped more than 25 feet in the broad jump to break Jesse Owens' high school record by five inches and to give promise of some day making the world record 27 feet another "impossible." In the high jump the "roof" has been raised to nearly seven feet and will probably reach that figure before long. It just occurs to us, too, that in 1924 the winning pole vault at Olympic Games in Paris was 12 feet, 6 inches. Times—and heights—have changed.
Changing Order
The spectacular struggle for the control of New York Central Railroad which found insurgent Robert R. Young winning out marks the first time in a generation that a new personality has taken over a major railroad. From all indications there will be some changes—big changes—made by Mr. Young. He is a man with plenty of ideas and it will be interesting to see what results he can produce. Among other things he advocates that the New York Central and railroads in general use lighter cars both for passengers and freight. He also feels that the railroads must work together in adapting themselves more effectively to this modern transport age. If anyone can give the railroads a needed shot in the arm, Mr. Young is probably the man who can do it. We shall see.
Net effect of the merger will to give another more highly-grated automobile manufacturer company to compete with the Three. Studebaker's line will vide the low and medium-cars of the line, and Packard cover the upper-medium and priced fields. Studebaker will bring its line of trucks into combination.
Studebaker-Packard represents the last move among the small concerns in their fight to over the lead of Ford, Chrysler General Motors. Two months saw the formation of American Motors Corporation out of Ford and Hudson. A year ago Kafrazer and Willys-Overland joined forces.
Goodrich Executives Visit Coast
Two top executives of B Goodrich Company arrived in Francisco this last week for a day inspection tour of commercial sales and distribution facilities.
William S. Richardson, newly elected president of the ru firm, and Arthur Kelly, vice president-manufacturing and president of BFG tire & equipment division were honored at an international meeting which brought gether top men of all six divisions which headquarter in San Francisco.
Richardson and Kelly are meeting with B. F. Goodrich sonnel at district offices in Angeles and Seattle this month.
Production Records
Two more production records chalked up by two auto masters last week.

Right Atmosphere
Dr. F. T. Jung of Chicago urges women to serve their husbands dinner in an atmosphere of flowers, wine and candlelight. The note which greets the returning breadwinner will now read: "May be late playing canasta. Flowers and wine in icebox, can of beans on sink."

Your Birthday Forecast
By STELLA
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30 -- Born today, literature and the arts will make an especial appeal to you and it is likely that you will be most content if you follow one of them as a lifework. You are independent in action, original in your thinking, and feel a particular frustration and restraint if you are forced to work for others. So if you pick a job where you work for yourself you'll be happy.
You will probably know quite early in life what you want to do and then set out toward your goal. Being practical and self-reliant, you must learn ot pay a little more attention to your intuitive powers. They are strong and you must not disparage their force for good in your life. Fortunately you have a good balance of intellect and emotion in your make-up -- one of the elements which makes for success in the arts and the professions.
There are varying moods in your aspect; some good, some poor. Learn to take advantage of the good phases and do your important work then. When things seem "agin you," bide your time and wait for a new aspect. It will come and you will progress all the faster for having waited. Don't force things when times are poor. If you inherit money in your twenties or thirties -- which you well may utilize it to the best possible advantage. With you, marriage is apt to take second place in your life. Your career comes first.
Among those who were born on this date are: Paderewski, pianist and statesman; Walter Hampden, actor; Charles VII of France; Harriet W. Sewell, poet; Madge Bellamy, actress.

Other officers for the ensuing year are H. S. Vance, president of Studebaker Corporation, and E. J. Bush, president of Diamond T Motor Car Company, vice presidents: H. H. Curtice, president of General Motors Corporation, secretary; and J. J. Nance, president of Packard Motor Car Company, treasurer.
Tubeless Tire Repair Kit
A new tubeless tire repair kit which simplifies servicing of tubeless tires has been announced by Miller Rubber Company division of B. F. Goodrich Company.
The compact kit supplies all tools, repair materials and instructions necessary to repair injuries up to ½ inch in tubeless tires. It retails at $9.00.
M. G. Huntington, general manager of BFG's associated tires and accessories division, points out that almost three million tubeless tires are now in service and demand is steadily increasing. Most of these tires are of the puncture-sealing type, but some manufacturers are building tubeless tires without sealant. The new Miller kit is designed to repair either type.
Detroit Notes
Chevrolet still manages to hold the sales lead by a slight margin. With registrations for four months plus four states for May in the margin amounts to 2,987 units. This is in sharp contrast to the like situation in 1953 when Chevrolet led by 90,607 units—Auto-Motor News
Record Reviews
Concert Music
NEW YORK — No accidental can advise another accident about the outpourings of the Azuma Kabuki Musicians of Japan. The sounds are strange, the instruments which produce them stranger. You commend musical skill and you note poetic qualities without comprehending. Also you resolve to play the record many times in the hopes of grasping better (Columbia).
But there isn't the slightest trouble grasping Clifford Curzon, piano, and the Budapest String Quartet, since they're playing Dvork's easily digestible A major quintet with an authority and finesse which illuminate it from first note to last (Columbia).
More of this kind of playing is to be had in Poulenc's Sextet for piano and wind instruments and Hindemith's Quintet for wind instruments as performed by musicians and who call themselves The Fine Arts Wind Players. The Poulene is more ingratiating than the Hindemith—warmer and livelier. Its excellent pianist is Leona Lurie (Capitol).
Bernstein Conducting
In a new recording affiliation (Decca), Leonard Bernstein has conducted the second sympathy of Schumann on one record and the fourth of Brahms on another. For Schumann he sounds as though he had a special affinity; for Brahms there is nothing of the sort. His ornestra is the Stadium Concerta Sympathy which, actually, is the New York Philharmonic Symphony. Under the latter name it belongs to another recorder.
Prokofieff's sonata for 'cello and piano, one of his last works, has been recorded by both Gregor Piatigoraky (RCA Victor) and Edmund Kurtz (Columbia).

NEW YORK — — Good sense is more than good looks when men to job-hunting.
Lee Lewis, a young Manhattan woman who built her own payment agency, (Career Blazed the plain Jane with ability, better break from a prose employer than a raving even if the beauty also has an employer wants a girl who clean and wholesome, but if she just walked off the of a magazine," Miss Lewis "Most employers feel that if it is too darned pretty, she up-age office. She ought to be ringing, not tying."
Lewis, a 30-year-old Co-operative University graduate, suggested that the June graduate for her first job wear a lit-tick and "enough powder to take the shine off her nose, but no other makeup."
"Employers turns thumbs down on girls who wear heavy cosmetics, especially a lot of eye makeup," she said. "They're afraid they'll hire a neurotic."
Some other "don'ts" for the job hunter:
Don't wear a dress more suitable for a cocktail party than an office, and don't overload yourself with costume jewelry. Don't douse yourself with heavy perfume.
Don't try to be cute, coy and aluring—save that for your dates. Don't give the impression the job is beneath you, but you'll take it until something better comes along.
Don't fire a lot of questions at the interviewer — such as, "how long before I get a raise?" or "do you give Christmas bonuses?"
And one sure way not to get the job." Miss Lewis said, "is to ask 'Are there any single men in the office?'"

Othman's Views on Washington Scenes
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
may be difficult to keep your mind on the job these summery days, but it has to be done!
LEO (July 24-Aug. 23) — It is not the star's fault today if you don't get exactly what you want! Best to take an inward look.
VIRGO (Aug 24-Sept. 23) — Imagination on the job can bring new interest. Make all changes gradually, however. Get the boss's okay.
LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) — A new idea can solve a perplexing problem. Others may be counting on your initiative just now, too.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Tact may be of the utmost importance in reconciling differences among friends. Be the peacemaker.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 22) — Clear out things you don't need—old clothes—and outworn ideas. Take a new look at life.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20) — Whatever happens, don't let yourself get involved in an argument between friends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) — You may have a wonderful inspiration today but study it carefully before putting it into production.
PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) — Although your mind is working at top speed, you may find flaws in putting ideas into operation. Take care.
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) — Friendship should be reciprocal; give as well as you receive to secure the greatest happiness from it.
TAURUS (Arp. 21-May 21) — Your health may need a careful checking. Balance hours of work and restful recreation more carefully.
GEMINI (May 22-June 21) — Pay attention to any slightest warning signal today. Intuitions are likely to be safe to follow!

A minor and Lalo's D minor conblow some her way.
I must report that puffing sweet fumes on the ladies of my acquaintance is a satisfaction, but this perfumed tobacco doesn't taste like is smells. It has a flavor resembling that of liquid weed-killer.
The other side of the ledger isn't much better. I bought a small package of pure tobacco for 15 cents. This tastes the way I imagine a pipe should but, according to Mrs. O., it smells like burnt chicken feathers.
Comes now Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R., S.D.), who is perhaps the best known pipe-smoker in all TV, with word that a fellow really needs at least one pipe for every day in the week. This gives each pipe six days to cool off and lose some of its pungency.
Comes also my dentist, with further word on expenses. He says that a pipe-smoker must have his choppers cleaned at least twice as often as other people. He adds that the tars in pipe smoke stick to the teeth something awful. Cleaning it off is no fun and, if he'd only known about this in the first place, he'd never have studied dentistry. I think he feels strongly on the subject of pipes.
The one silver lining is pipe cleaners. Like chewing gum and candy mints with holes, these still cost a nickel. Two dozen come in a package for 5 cents.
A man can spend many happy hours, in the course of a week, cleaning his pipe with pipe cleaners when he ought to be doing something else. He also had better keep his cleaners hidden. Ladies use 'em to make dolls, to pick locks, and to test cakes in the oven.
I'm thinking seriously of taking up cigarettes again. If it's either die early, or waste time now, I can't see much choice.

Ambling With Ann
By Ann Wardell Saunders
With the brittle Broadway bunch and the cynical Ciro’s crowd, it’s always open season on Hollywood’s string, silent men.
Those who frequent, or practically live on the Strip, the gaudy, phony quarter of Los Angeles County that divides Hollywood from Beverly Hills, would have you believe that Hollywood’s mono-syllabic stars, those men of few words like Gary Cooper, James Stewart and others of that stripe, are only lucky to be where they are — on top of the heap — since they manage, year after year, to land among the ten top stars in the nation’s most important polls.
Stewart, admittedly a man of few words, on or off the screen, is one of Hollywood’s busiest actors, but only appears in films he believes in personally. One such picture is Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window,” in which Jimmy plays a national magazine photographer who, grounded to a wheelchair with a broken leg throughout the film, must solve a murder by pure deduction. Jimmy has no time for gossip or big, flashy Hollywood brawls, and it’s doubtful if he’d know a wise-crack if he heard one.
Gary Cooper, or “The Coop,” as he is known in these parts, believes in making one word do the work of 500, and while not a favorite of the gabby set, has what it takes to jam the theaters where his films play. Alan Ladd, with his sparse dialogue in “Shane,” had his greatest personal triumph.
Newest of Hollywood’s strong, silent men is Chariton Heston, who proves in “The Naked Jungle,” portraying an almost morbidly lonesome man, that the public is drawn to a person of few words. Others who meter their dialogue as sparsely as a master bartender measures a drink, are Montgomery Clift, Randy Scott, and the perennial favorite, John Wayne.
Mary Riley, at 82, is celebrating 30 years as wardrobe woman at Warner Bros. . . . June Havoo laubs a new video series, “The Artful Miss Dodger.” . . . “China Smith,” “Orient Express,” and “Mystery Theatre,” join KTTV’s program line-up. . . . Producer Sam Wiesenthal would like to do a screen version of TV’s “Debut,” which features serious music talent. . . . Irene Dunne plays the vivacious wife of a doctor in a comedy about the effects of spring on a young intern and herself, titled, “Sister Veronica,” for TV’s Ford Theatre series. . . . Jane Russell will emote with Jeff Chandler in “Foxfire” at U-I.
Sean (pronounced Shawn) McClory did himself proud in the role of Dublin O’Malley, a homicidal maniac who escapes from a mental ward and rejoins the Clyde Beatty Circus as ringmaster in “Ring of Fear.” Clyde tells an amusing tale about residents near the Arizona State Fairgrounds, where the film was being made complaining that roaring lions were disturbing them at night. Remembering the expression that “music soothes the savage beast,” Clyde had one of the attendants play the violin, and he swears it worked. From the residents — no comment.
Satchel Paige has a rule which reads: “Don’t ever look back, something might be gaining on you.”

United Press Hollywood Writer
HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Jean Simmons bravely came forth today with the prediction that current research on cigarette smoking will turn women, including herself, into pipe smokers.
The English-born dramatic actress of many a staid costume epic said she thought the American Cancer Society's report on cigarette smoking to the American Medical Assn. convention this week would affect women's future tobacco habits.
Only a "very few" women will give up the smoking habit completely, in her opinion.
Cigars Not Feminine
Cigars, she sniffed, are not very feminine as a supplement to cigarettes. That leaves pipes.
"I think it would be great fun to smoke a small pipe and if it becomes the style I will get one of those curved Sherlock Holmes pipes," said the actress as she fluffed the curls she wears in a Napoleonic film, "Desiree," at 20th Century Fox studio.
"I understand that in this country during the war with Hitler when cigarettes were rationed, small pipes became fashionable. And Danish women as well as some in other countries often smoke pipes and cigars."
Cuts Smoking
So far she hasn't bought a briar or a meerschaum, she said, but "recently I've cut from two packs to four cigarettes a day."
One Beverly Hills tobacconist said he's getting ready for Miss Simmons' business. He's had "sev-
eral inquiries" from ladies who want a feminine-type pipe, and is looking into the situation.
A New York manufacturer, Wally Frank, plans to make a "mi-lady's pipe," red-stemmed so lipstick marks won't show, and an extra mild blend of pipe tobacco.
Worried About Sponsors
Other movie players were queried about Miss Simmons' suggestion, but they were not so courageous. Many warily pointed out they may be on a cigarette company's television show some day.
Anne Baxter became known as the first lady cigar smoker in Hollywood when she posed two years ago for a photograph with a stogie. The resulting clamor, however, alarmed her. Today she clammed up wit "no comment."
