It cost about the same amount to raise a child as to own and operate an automobile," says s. statistician. Many people consider it more, fun, however, to own and operate an automobile.

Thimbles used to be called "thumb-bells" because they were originally worn on the thumb. Invented in Holland about 1000, the first thimibles were made of leather, bone or metal.

The Fishing Frog, , sexes a lure in the shape of long, slender filaments. the foremost and the longest of which has a flattened and divided extremity. The fish stirs up the mud so as to hide itself and waves these filaments like legs. Tiny fish are attracted by the lure, mistaking it for worms wiggling about in the muddy water; they approach and are instantly eaten by their clever angler. Did you know that all animals

Many of us certainly may have the impression that when folks be- come old-no exercise, no teeth- very little food of any kind is nec- essary and that as we started life with bread and milk, this is the way to end life. As a matter of fact. what are known as the "pro- tective foods"-milk and other milk products and green vegetables - are needed by all of us at any and every ago.

One warning is given to the el- derly in these days and that is that little fat should be eaten as excess fat in the diet may cause a de- posit of a fatty substance (coles- terin) on the blood veuels thus in- creasing the blood pressure and the chances of heart and brain strokes.

As less food and less exercise may cause less rough or fibrous food to be eaten, the editorial suggests that the elderly person should be reas- sured by the knowledge that nat- ural roughage in the fruit, leafy vegetablees and whole grain cereals of a good diet will prevent consti- pation.

stenogrnphie report on Hitler's pri- vate conversation for the period between 1941 and 1045 from the Fuebrerls sister, Paula Hitler, liv- ing in Berchtesgaden.

The lawsuit was brought against Anthenaeum Verlag. a. German publishing house, which recently ublished aivolume entitled "Hit- ler's Dinner Conversations" by Dr. Henry Picker, I. stenographer, who took down notes at Hitler's head- quarters in 1941 and 1942.

Hitler's will, a copy of which is deposited in the Pentagon in Washington. named as his heir the Nazi Party or. if it no longer ex- lsted, the German State.

Five copies of the will were car- ried out of flaming Berlin through Russian lines by Nazi officials to I-litler's successor, Admiral Karl Doenltz. ' Lawyer Ernst Borsbach said for the defendant that if the court recognized the validity of the last will as laid before the Nucrriberg trial, the contract between the Swiss publisher and Hitler's sister must be declared invalid. v

If the will is recognized, Bors- bach said. the copyright rests with the German state or its legal suc- ceggor, mglwest German Repub- lic.

Later, he told I. reporter that the German publishing firm had printed the volume with the ap- proval of the West German Insti- tute for the history of the Nazi period, an official government body The response of the German public to the book was not great, he disclosed. He said that of 12,- 000 coples published, only 5,500 have been sold.
