RAISY CRICKS Though the _conquest of space has been the "spectacular" of a drama-Tilled Geophysical Year, many scientists feel that the job Of probing the woliveovered sub- stance of the earth itself will torn out to be richly rewarding. Never „able to look more than a few miles clown, seismologists have to content themselves with Measuring the tremors of the earth's shell in their attempt to infer What lies far beneath it. AY measuring seismic. waves ,simultaneously at different paints, they hope to be able to piece together a more compre- hensive picture of how they ricochet around and through the symirfetrieal laYerg earth7itli thin outer •crnst,•reek, like • mantle, molten-iron,.

These give seismologists a picture of where crusts begin and end in ocean basins. THE OLD WALL GAME—Striped and ready for battle, the. Collegers stride onto the field at Eton, England's famed public school, for the annual "wall game", played on St, Andrew's Day. Their opponents ore called the ,Oppidans. No goal was scored and this was in keeping with tradition because there hasn't been a goal since 1909. Object of the game is to work a ball along a wall 'on the campus into one of two g qals, which are known as "gool calx" and "b,ad calx". No one knows why they are called th is, but then the'wall game is a mystfying affair. • BROILERS -- for February — should be on order.

Write WAGONER, 125 West 86th, N.Y, DETECTIVES Making Of A Movie Flying Saucers In The Home A bewigged British judge has just touched my distant :and bucolic heart with the Solornonic decision that a wife is not cruel if she throws dishes at her hus- band. If she hits him, that's cruelty. A hit husband and you're out. But just to throw them— that's not significent in a divorce action; and in this particular case he refused to grant a decree, A judge has to keep his wits 'sharp, and this one is out to a fine point. I have often wonder- ed about- these dish-throwing wives. Never, in by observant career, have I known, firsthand, of a wife who tossed crockery at her-husband. It is an athletic diversion I believe is limited to comic strips. It is like the rolling pin, with which„the happy bride sits at the front portal 'and awaits the early • morning homecoming of her mate. No doubt a man has, somewhere, been hit •with a roll- ing. pin—because a man, some- where, has been hit by about everything = but it' is not an everyday haptening in the„nor- mat conjugal arrangement. notionqs;•that .dish-throw- ing is a trumped-up ,euphemism, and (that both sides agree to ' argue on that basis rather than tell What're8.11Y happened: 'A '1khie by-the'utgency of her desires;-Willingly' accept, the ac- and- merely say, "Good. e'riddaneelg., The „decree con- sidefeq well ,,worth the name.

Yeti can enjoy for a long time any plants you receive. whether monsters, ivy, philodendron or African peperornia„ foli- age or rubber plant, provided you keep them happy.

Your .plants require light to manufacture food, so give them. as ,much light as possible, shad- ing them only in summer from a hot west or south sun, Some- plants need less light than others, however, SP shade them slightly if they start to look pale or burned- Your plants will not -require. food until about three .months after Christmas. Use soluble plant food. only, and make up a fresh batch each time, follow- ing your directions closely.

It is a startling statistic, particularly when com- pared with Margaret. Mitchell's "Gone With the Witid", which has needed 21 years to sell 5,435,000 . Apparently one out of every 37 Americans has bought "Peyton Place" or is waiting for his ordered copy. Mrs. Metalius has thus far tak- en. $250,000 in royalteis, For the movie rights, however, she was paid only $70,000. The reason for this is that Twentieth Cen- tury-Fox was the only studio which would touch the book, and then only after, considerable ex- purgation. "When (producer) Jerry Wald sent me the book in Europe last year," Mark Robson, the director, admitted recently, "I threw it away without even- answering him. Much later;'Wald gave me a script that changed the book's sensationalism into good, natur- alistic drama and did a superla- tive job of integration, Only be- cause of this, I took the job. When time came to go on loca- tion, •C amden ((population: 3,700) was the only town in the Northeast to extend a cordial in- vitation to the production unit. Gilmanton, N.H., where Mrs, 'Metalius wrote the book, near- by Laconia, where she later moved after separating from her schoolteacher husb an d, and Woodstock, Vt., considered by' the Hollywood people as the most typical New England town in existence, had all been under consideration. But each com- munity' has had enough of "Pey- ton Place" as soon as it was published and was loath to co- - operate. Mrs. Metalius herself had. nothing to do with the produc- tion. "She had no sympathy at all with the countless problems of converting her story," Wald said last month. "At least half "of the book had to be dropped. The way she kept carping, it ) sounded as if she wanted us to do a 15-hour film." Last week, she was back in Gilmanton at work on her sec- ond novel, "The Tight White Collar".
