Is Immune to Cold Credits Indian Lore Racine, Wis, -- The wind may howl and the snow may fall, but it doesn't have much effect on Robert Miller, 76, Racine florist. Although te here may fall to 10 to 20 degrees below zero, Mr. Miller has not worn an overcoat in 14 years and only occasionally will he wear a hat. Mr, Miller claims he learned how to attain immunity from cold years ago from Indians, who said a large pinch of salt, placed in his mouth and allowed to melt would keep him warm.

Note on Radio Shatters Glass London, Feb. 4--(BUP)--A read- er wrote The Times today that a soprano while smging an aria in a British Broadcasting Company pro- gram reached a note, the vibrations of which shattered a tumbler on his dining room - table, showering him with glass.

The writer said the incident oc- curred during a broadcast of Ma- dame Butterfly. His subsequent research, he said, done by tapping a similar tumbler, revealed that as the singer reached high E or F: "The tumbler exploded into a thousand pleces with a loud report. Fragments were scattered over my wife and self, and the greater part of the room." He explained that the tumbler was of a thick "unbreakable" type.

VALUE OF CHEESE Cheese is one of our most valu- able foods and should have a prom- inent place in meals of both adults and children, It contains nearly all the proteins of milk, which are body- builders; a large percentage of fat which makes it a valuable source of energy; a good supply of minerals, all of which are essential to good health, Since it requires approxi- mately 11 pounds, or a little more than one galion of milk to make one pound of cheese, about four ounces of cheese is equivalent to one quart of milk in total caloric value, So if desired cheese can take the place of part of the daily milk re- REBUILDING FOODS Foods should be selected for re- urns in body-building and sustain- value, not just as so much fill. , Or palate pleasure.

Sculptor's Show Shocks Britons London, Feb. 4--(AP)--Sculptor Jacob Epstein put on a new show today. It includes 18 nudes and a statute of Winston Churchill among its 40 éxhibits, and some visitors found it shocking. The bronze Churchil] is featured, along with an equally bronze nude named Betty, and they stare at one another with unseeing bronze eyes. What was most shocking to the shockable, however, was not Betty's proximity to the former Prime Min- ister, but the unabashed poses of some tiny figures, male and female. An art critic said Epstein had shown "naked bodies unfalsified by any convention of prudery," but a grey-haired woman muttered "Good heavens!" grabbed her husband and Most of the persons at the invita- tion preview were familiar wi Epstein's previous work, and most of them found this show good. However, the London Daily Graphic smuggled in a couple of non- experts, one of them a housewife.

Wrap-Around Skirt Leads in Paris Show Paris, Feb. 4--(AP)--Robert Pig- uet opened Paris's new fashion sea- son today, and the portfolio wrap- around skirt was his key note. Wide, full-skirted evening 'dresses, strict tailored suits and black, clinging afternoon frocks--nearly all shared the same idea. Tailored suits are slightly longer than they have been, with straight th | jackets, loose-waisted in the back and buttoned up rather high, Shdul- ders are just moderate. The same straight back was to be found also in a number of after- noon wraps, some of which had ex- tremely large and long revers, more or less 1920-styled, nothing of the masculine lapels. All have a round- ed hemline in fhe front. Extremely short boleros made a timid appearance. One was of mus. tard-colored woolen material, over a black frock. Colorg~are discreet: A pale and rather dull pink was the brightest note. But a few spring ensembles in light navy blue had a white touch, sugh as "rond-point," which show- ed white revers and white buttons on the skirt and was worn with a small hand bag bearing a garland of thick white daisies. Dinner dresses are ankle-long and tight and are worn, with large, broad-sided hats. Evening dresses remain wide, but lightly spangled muslins replace last season's heavy brocades.

It roars in the night, an ele- mental voice; it whistles at the house corner and it rattles the shut- ter and the pane. Listen to it, and you are hearing the mighty currents of the air rushing down the lati- tudes of the earth, currents from the Mackenzie and the Athabaska and the Saskatchewan, and from the prairies and the white tundra. It is a homeless wind, forever on the move. It cannot pause on any hilltop, and if it seems to relax in some deep valley it is only gather- ing strength. It bows the oaks and goes on and on. It brings a freight of snow and swirls it over the land, and it thickens the ice on the lakes; but the wind itself is forever on its way, driven by the weight of its own motion, drawn by the vacuum of a risen wind in some far place, It is restless as the human mind, strong as the drive of passion. It matches strength with strength, tests the fiber and tries the earth- bedded root. The rocks shoulder it aside, but the sand rolls with the wind, and the hills and dunes take on new shapes. The weak gives way and the uncertain alters its course as the wind dictates. ' And we sit before our fires, them- selves wind-blown by the chimney gusts, and cherish our warmth, our snug security. And we know that the rush of wind just beyond our stout walls is.the rush of winter passing. It is the fierce breath of change itself, The earth turns and the winds eddy and swirl; and one fine night there will be a whisper of in the wind, and another winter will have blown {itself away. --(Editorial in the New York Times). 120 Oldsters Get Their Brandy Free Brton-on-Humber, England, Feb, 3 --(BUP)--All customers over 70 years of age will get double brandieg on the house, Walter Atkinson, pub owner, announced.

Lone Male Defends Canary Yellow Suits By BEV YOUNG New York, Feb. 4--(AP)--The men of Manhattan, from clothier to gay blade-about-town, turned thumbs down today on the latest word in sartorial elegance--a can- ary yellow dinner jacket ensemble. "It's ridiculous " snorted Grover Whalen, New York's official "greet- ter" and one of the city's fashion- plate landmarks "agst out and out ridiculous." The Merchant Tailors and De- signers Association, meeting in Chi- cago, proposed the nifty style scheme of canary yellow dinner Jacket with brown trousers, shirt and waffle-cut gold studs. Fifth Avenues succinct reaction to the gaudy getup was summarized by Hudson Budd of g shirt company: "Sounds like an end man in a minstrel to me. We wouldn't turn out anything like that. Our custo- mers wouldn't care for it# i One voice was lifted, however,, in defense of the latest wrinkles men's fashions. Sidney Garfield, whose advertising agency deals in men's wear, explained he liked cor- orful things because they were "so cheerful and Inspiring." The Shorts Are Loud "Even the old codgers,"" he con- tinued, "are getting tired of funeral clothes. They are decking them- selves out in wild-patterned shorts that Jook as if they came out of the jungle, lurid shirts, ties and robes. The tired tan raincoats are blue and yellow and green now." But the men who would tailor such colorful creations didn't cot- ecru | ingsley ton to the association's style trend. From Herman Holzknecht, manager of Journeymen Tailors Union No. 1 of the Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers (CIO), came this observation: "It's & batty idea, but the mer- chant tailors have to do something to ward off the encroachment of ready made clothes. But now they're carrying it to the extreme. Who ever heard of a bunch of guys run- ning around in canary dinner jac- kets?" Billingsley Says No Fashion-conscious Sherman Bill- took a practicable view of the situation: "I think," said the proprietor of the Stork Club, "it's a fine idea for men to dress like that--provided they go to the Club El Morocco." "Canary yellow dinner jackets!" shouted the dise counsellor for men's wear at Macy's depart ment store. "Just ask them if they in | know where we can-lay our hands on some good old-fashioned black ones!" Well-dressed Dan Topping, presi- dent of the New York Yankees' pro- fessional football club, couldn't be reached for comment. His secretary sald he was at an important meet- ing, then added: 'But you couldn't use his com- ments anyway, if I broke in on him and asked about canary colored dinner jackets."

Status of Brides Working Uncertain London, Feb. 5--(Reuters)--Hun- dreds of "secret brides" in British business and commercial firms are , wondering whether they now may reveal their marriages without get ting fired. Scores of 'British firms still bar married women from holding jobs on their staffs, but those who have defied the ban are hoping the la- bor shortage will enable them' to wear thelr wedding rings at the of- fice without fear of losing their Lady Helen Nutting, spokesman for the British Married Women's Association which is waging a cam- paign for abolition of the marriage bar, today pointed out that the "civil service has recently lifted the ban" and added that 'we hope that everyone else will follow suit." A champion of the ban on mar- ried women employees is J. Bride, & member of the Southend Council. "Married women are in- clined to resent discipline," he said recently. "They are difficult to su- pervise and their attitude that 'my husband will have something to say about this' has a bad influence on the younger element," he declared, Pointing out that not even milk is a perfect, self-sufficient food, nue tritionists urge inclusion of sll the nutritional factors in diet, by com=- bining such edibles as milk, fruit, vegetables, cereals, bread, meat or fish, so that a meal will provide all the essentials to maintenance of health.
