Time Con5w3er Got A Break The United States poseeeste the key to open the gates to an aver-widening prosperity based upon sound growth. has misused, the key. It has in some instances ignored it, It is currently in clumsy hands, This key is the consumer's mood. For two years the consumer has had a rough time, He has been subjected consistently to steadily increasing prices. His eost of living hes jumped ,0,6 per. cent. Now for the first time in 14 months the increase has been halted. The United Steelworkers Union forced through a wage Increase two years ago, and the steel industry raised its prices. Et passed them on to the con- sumer. The whole price struc- ture came unhinged after that. The consumer is still on the receiving end of the price spiral which big mass-industry wage and price specialists have passed en to him. He cannot buy a new auto- mobile today without paying $1,00 to $300 over the 'prices he would have paid two years ago. His rent and housing costs have soared: 5.4 per cent for rent, 6.3 per cent for housing. His trans- portation costs have never been higher, up 9,5 per cent. His food costs are up 6.1 per cent. His clothing costs 3.6 per cent snore. Taxes, 'direct and hidden, are up everywhere. What do we have? We have a consumer pressed to the last 10 cents in his pocket- book to keep up with the pace set for him by the pricing spe- cialists. Suddenly, today, we are told that the key to the economy — the key to future prosperity — the key to good business and a continuing substantial tax rate for the United -States and the date and local governments — is the consumer. "It all depends on consumer sentiment. What will his mood be in 1958?" It would seem that if the con- sumer is the key to the nation's prosperity — and, of course, he Is — that he would have been treated more gently and with greater consideration, The "correction" we face to- day is a correction of the widely held attitude in industry, in la- bor, in banking, that the con- sumer continually can be ex- pected to keep everyorre happy while at the same time he is being bombarded from every direction. Some place along the line last spring or summer the consumer decided that he would brace against the raids on his re- sources.' Now the country has awak- ened to the fact that what is needed is not a bracing consu- mer but a leaning consumer. If he were expert at balancing a teeterboard with some lively youngsters eon' either grid of it, boy•could tell Its •what is hap- pening in the great' economy of the United States today. Actually, this is a pretty good period. The economy appears to be. In gentle balance,s thanks to the bracing consumer. It is not without forceful pressures, both up and down. But it never is. Even, positive pressures must be kept from exerting violent up-pushes. Example: the over- taxed consumer. These violent up-pushes have been slowing INSIDE THE TELESCOPE'S EYE: Huge reflector bowl of Jodrell instrument picks up signals from space, which are then focused by 60-foot aerial in center of the bowl.

Used A Hearse As A Home Home is where you make it, but who would choose to live in a constantly moving under- ground train? The answer is — an attractive young widow and her baby and six-year-old daughter who recently made their home for two days and three nights in a New York un- derground train. A guard first noticed the for- lorn-looking family on a Sun- day night, but it was not until he found them very early the following. Wednesday morning still riding in the same train that he realized what had happened. Mother and children were taken to a rest centre. Police found that each night they had concealed themselves when the train was shunted for the night, and each day they had succeeded in dodging ticket in- spectors, After the family had been evicted from a room and failed to find other accommodation, the mother had taken the children, with a suitcase containing all her posseselens and some food, IMO the first train that came along, despevately hoping that seine passenger would offer Ilene a; proper home when -their plight was known. Makeshift homes have ,some- times been made in 'the wait- ing rooms of disused. stations, but never before has a family "settled down" in a busy train because More orthodox accome modation was lacking.

INSTRUCTION .$ecretSigns, It is often thought that secrot signs between criminals only exist in fiction writers' imagina- tions, This Is not so. Secret Aigns are essential to real-life criminals because otherwise their intentions would become known to the police, When an AMerican crook Was being interviewed by the po- lice he used a language trick. Amid outbursts .of grief at the hard-heartedness •of the pollee, he gabbled instructions in. Yid!, dish to his wife to hide the loot. The -detective listened poker- faced. Then he announced that he spoke' Yiddish tool Sometimes secret communica- tions are sketched, Tramps all over Enrope have it picture- writing of their-.own which gives news and information about local residents. Sometimes the sign indicates a wealthy man's house which can be robbed with ease. Another method of indicating a prospective victim was prac- tised among pickpockets. When the "spotter" singled out a man with a fat wallet, he contrived to pat him lightly on the back with a palm well rubbed with chalk, Thus marked, the victim was picked out from the crowd by the gleeful experts waiting farther along the street. Much has been said about secret writing. Words written in saliva are invisible until seen at an angle under brilliant light, German crooks had another method which was to wet a sheet of of paper and impress a message on it. When the paper dried the message was supposed to be invisible until the paper was made damp again. But po- lice experts have got wise to these and similar methods. The police have their own secret signs. Detectives knew that a, wanted murderer was living somewhere in a certain street. One of them put on old clothes and, taking his voilin, moved slowly along the street watching the houses, When he was sure of the house he played a loud and lively tune on his volin. This was the signal for the waiting detectives to go in with a rush and get their man, Gem Stratagems Jewellers have to watch out for many ingenious tricks tried by would-be thieves, A cough- ing customer drops his handker- chief on a jewel he wants to steal; another lays an adhesive- backed visiting card on a dia- mond; a "beggar" comes into the shop and a kind-hearted woman customer tosses a few coins—and a couple of diamond rings—into his hat. One jeweller displayed a large gem, apparently unprotected, but in reality it was guarded by an unbreakable, immovable, and al- most invisible glass plate. He had a lot of quiet fun from, ob- serving the innumerable dodges used by covetous customers to steal this gem. It also distracted their attention from other valu- able items. To steal part of an Essex jew- eller's stock, a thief worked by night, boring a- hole in the show window frame, inserting a bent and twisted wire and fishing out rings. Last year, British Customs Of- ficials discovered .a new dodge used by diamond smugglers. Boats bringing eels to the Lon- don market from abroad "were also bringing gems, Most, of the eels were alive and wriggling, but a few were dead. These were packed full of industrial diamonds! Plucked Duck Drake ducks are grounded for about a month each year. This period comes during the eclipse moult, at which time male ducks shed their feathers and are un- able to fly. After ducking in and out of corners as a nudist for a time the old man goes into dis- guise. He grows new feathers like those of the female. This- stage is called the clipse plum- age, He masquerades as a fe- male for another month, then sheds all feathers except those on his wings. Then is when he grows feathers that bring him back to his natural personality again—a full colored drake. He keeps these feathers until the following year when it is all to do over again. It is during that period of time when drake ducks can't fly that a great many of them fall vic- tim to predators. MERRY MENIAGER E More About Great aritisb Telescope That Keeps Track Of The Sputniks CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING he .TOI'd A, .CULLEN NBA Staff Correspondent (Concluded front, last week)'' ' ,, The $2,500,000 radio telescope at Jodrell Bank, ' which is the largest of its king in the world, is using a $15: x-Army radar 1 transmitter in tie king the Rus- sian satellitee inOuter sppee.

I had no sooner recovered from the shock of the $15 radar transmitter, however, than Lovell sprang his second surprise. "Of course, the satellites have completely wrecked my priority research program," he remarked quite casually. "They have set my work back months," I had expected to find a scien- tist hollow-eyed from leek of sleep, but elated over the success of his telescope brain-child. Instead, I found a Mild-man- nered man of 44 who looked re- markably fit (Lovell; captains his local village cricket team), is a sort of moon landscape dot- ted With radar aerials that gy- rate like wind vane!;, Instead of !tot-houses for rare tropical blooms there are huts in which the nervous heart-beats of the universe are recorded by a stylus and by a green squiggle on a Teclar Aereenr.

But the telescope can also act as a transmitter, and as such, becomes the biggest steerable radar set in the world. It is as a transmitter using radio echo equipment that the telescope tracks satellites, being able to pick up an object the size of an aircraft as far away as the moon. In consenting to switch over to satellite tracking, Lovell ran the risk of damaging the instrument, down. If they can be made to benefit the consumer with bet- ter products at better prices, the slowdown will be beneficial. Now the problem is to control the down-pushers. Industry must earn a profit, The pushdown must not be se great as to destroy profits. If the pushdown is sufficiently -4 eong to encourage businessmen in mass industries to resist wage increases which are not support- ed by the rate of productivity (output per worker hour), "ien such a pushdown is beneficial. All of the elements of a sound, progressive economy exist. They do not require creation. We have consumers. They have jobs and steady income. The govern- ment is actively spending in the economy. The only thing missing — a consumer's willingness to spend — has been repeatedly beaten down by businessmen, econom- ists, and politicians — each for their own reasons -- by high prices and forecasts foreboding about the economy. Politicians — always eager to upset a balance if such an up- set would help their side — have complicated the problem by talking about a depression which doesn't exist. Yes, at times, keeping a teet- erboard in balance looks decep- tively easy. Ask any boy expert. —By Nate White, Financial Edi- tor of The Christian Science Monitor. which had not been fully broken in. The radio-telescope picked up Sputnik I for the first time on Oct: 12 at 10.54 p,m., an event which was hailed with mild "Eurekas" from the thick-sweat- ered scientists who clustered around the radar recording ma- chine drinking cocoa. Not until early December will the Jodrell Bank telescope come fully into its own. It will then be the world's most accurate in- strument for supplying informa- tion in which the scientists are keenly interested: the behaviour of the satellites as they enter the earth's atmosphere. Jodrell Bank scientists have spent years in studying the dis- integration of bodies moving through the earth's atmosphere, but this will be their first chance to observe the behaviour of bodies of known weight and size, and it may save them years of further research. No one knows what will hap- pen to Sputniks I and II in their death throes. Ionisation will probably occur when the Satel- lites fall to a height of 60 to 100 miles, They may then circle the earth several times, followed by an ion trail, or they may come straight down, Lovell thinks there is a good chance they will come down reasonably intact. When this happens, the pro- ieeeer may be allowed to get on with his work, which is that of detecting radio waves from stars a hundred million light yeare away,• waves that started on their journey to the earth at a time When life was just beginning to stir on this planet.

St but who was anything but hap- py—a reluctant "boffin", if ever there was' one. "This teleseope," he informed me, waving towards the window where the giant was on full view, "wasn't designed primarily to track earth satellites. That was only a minor part of its job, which is to' explore the limits of the universe. "But now," he shrugged his shoulders resignedly, ",we've had to switch over to satellite-track- ing in order to satisfy public curiosity." Prof. Lovell is the world's first professor of radio - astronomy, Manchester University having created a special chair foe him in 1951. Having made his name during the war as one of the team that developed top-secret radar bombing devices, Lovell got the brilliant idea after the war of applying 'radar to the study of cosmic rays. He then persuaded Manchester University to give him the use of 10 acres of botanic gardens which the university owned at Jodrell Bank, in Cheshire. Lovell arrived at Jodrell sank in December, 1945, in an old British Army trailer, loaded with surplus Army radar equipment, and in this he proceeded to camp out in the dead of night. "There were no lights," Lovell recalls, "and it took me two days to thaw the ice from the diesel generator," 'This is how Beitain's telescope, which is the envy Of the scientific world, Wag born.
