Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers: I am a sophomore in college and room.. ing with a girl I now know is an alcoholic, She keeps a fifth of bourbon In her clothes hamper and drinks straight out of the bottle. The poor kid gets bombed every night and misses most of her eight o'clock classes. She is a fair student and is popular with both boys and girls. I've tried to talk to her about the drinking but she in- sists she needs it to relax and says she can quit any time she wants to. So far as I know, nobody in the form suspects but in time someone is sure to find out, I'm always raising the windows and spraying the room with cologne because I can smell that bour- bon even if others can't. What if the bottle is found and they think I'm the guilty one? I hate to rat on her. Should I?—WORRIED ROOM- Dear Roomie: Keep quiet. At the rate this girl is going the word will be out soon — or she will be sent home for non- performance. If you could per- suade her to talk to the campus counselor about her problems it might save the situation and the girl, Do try. 0--0--0 Dear Ann Landers: Our nine- year-old son caught a very bad cold from the neighbor child. The boy's cold turned into bronchial pneumonia and he had to be hospitalized for ten days. The bill was sky high, what with the cost of special drugs and what have you. My hus- band feels we should send the bill to the neighbors since our boy caught the co'd from their son and they are a lot better off financially than we are. I do not share his views. What do •,,ou think about this? I don't want my husband to make a fool of himself.—MRS. UNDECIDED, Dear Mrs.: Children vkho play together frequently pick up ill- nesses from one another. It is unfortunate that the cold de- veloped into pneumonia, but the neighbors are not to blame. Pay the bill and forget it. 0-0-0 Unsure of yourself and dates? What's right? What's wrong? Should you?

Wondrous World of Bottles Most profitable catch from a sea-borne bottle? Jack Wurm a restaurant worker, found it in 1949 on the Pacific shore not far from San Francisco. In- side the bottle he found, writ- ten in pencil on brown wrap: ping paper, these glad Virlings: ' "To avoid all confusion I leave my entire estate to the lucky person who finds this bottle and to my attorney, Bar- ry Cohen, share and share alike." (signed) Daisy Alexan- der, June 20, 1937, At last count, lawyers were still wrangling over the legal- ity of Daisy's will, while Jack Wurm waited to find out wheth er he would inherit 50 per cent of her $12 million estate, plus half interest in the 3160,000 annual income from her invest- ments! Besides curiosity and wealth, romance has been bottled too. Some years ago a mate on a freighter in the South Seas wrote his wish to find a wife. An Australia-bound British liner found it, and the captain posted the message. It was read by a stewardess who, a little while later, invited the ship's crew to her wedding--with that sailor from the South Seas. A fierce hurricane shook the tiny ship. A group of sailors wrote their fears on a scrap of paper, slipped the note into a wooden cask and committed it to the sea 'Their captain, Christopher Columbus, record- ed the deed in the ship's log-- and right now, somewhere on the seven seas, the historic doc- ument may still be floating, In 300 B.C. the Greek philosopher Theophrastus, walk- ing along the shore, decided to use bottles to test his theory that the Mediterranean Sea got most of its water from the At- lantic Ocean. Tossed at inter- vals from a cruising Greek shill the bottles drifted many watery miles--in the proper direction-- to prove Theophrastus` point. Benjamin Franklin used the floating bottle method to gath- er information on the little- understood currents of the Gulf Stream. Inside his bottles, Franklin sealed a paper con- taining his name, address and a request that the finder let him know where and when the floating questionnaire had been picked up. The answers came from as far off as Newfoundland and Iceland; together with water temperature studies conducted by Franklin, they helped de- fine the dimensions of the Gulf Stream. Franklin forwarded the facts to the British Post Of- fice, and English mail boats which had been bucking the Stream had easier, faster trips thereafter. Recently, a bottle dating back to the Civil War and bear- ing the name E. R. Squibb & Sons, was recovered from a Union gunboat sunk in 1862. Four years earlier, Dr. Edward Robinson Squibb, former Passed Assistant Surgeon in the Navy, had founded what was to be- come the world-famous phar- maceutical firm which bears his name. The molded, green glass bottle contained an almost colorless liquid. Smelling very faintly of brackish water, it was thought to contain nothing but water from the river. But tests conducted, together with examination of drugs available in Squibb's price lists for the early 1860's, confirmed that the bottle contained Potassium Chlorate, a drug prescribed at that time for a great variety of diseases. In 1940, George Phillips (nicknamed the "Bottle Parson' started sending his sermons to sea inside empty whiskey and beer bottles. Over 16, 000 bottles were cast on the waters, and more than 1,400 replies came back! •
