What it Science Could Control Man's Thoughts?

“ By H. I. PHILLIPS
SCIENCE AND
THOUGHT CONTROL
#/titITHOUT assuming any man-
»» tie of prophecy, it is fair to
suggest that ability to control man’s
thoughts with precision through
science is by no means out of the
question. This is more awesome in
its interpretations than was the
mushroom cloud in 1945."—Dr.
John Ely Burchard, Dean of Hu
manities at Massachusetts Tech.
There goes that gooseflesh creep
ing up our spine again!
*
Say it ain’t so, doctor! Tell us
you don’t really mean that the lab
oratory will find a way to throw
a switch and make a man’s thoughts
come out the designated slot! Ad
mit you are not serious in con
templating a day when a button
may turn a yes man into a no man,
nice as it might be to see in con
verting Gromyko—presto!—from a
no man into a yes man!
*
Or is it to be done by rays?
Turned by Joe Stalin onto
President Truman, might they
bait Harry in the middle of a
stern “We intend to stand by
to the bitter end” and bring
forth an abrupt cry, “Hooray
for the Kremlin!’'
*
Do you see a time when the
Thirteen Men of Moscow, giving
uproarious approval to a Pravda
editorial denouncing America, may,
under a magic ray in the hands of
Uncle Sam, suddenly glow with
anger and order the Pravda edi
torial writer shot at once? -
Is the time near when Vishinsky,
loaded with expletives and rising
to excoriate the democracies, will,
due to a current, a ray or an iso
tope, break into a broad smile and
say, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am
just a Happiness Boy. There is
nothing in this world like friend
ship. See what the boys in the
backroom will have!"
*
Can Henry Wallace, mount
ing the platform, be reached
by a mystery beam and his
address denouncing ERP, the
Truman administration and the
Atlantic pact converted into a
talk on how to produce better
laying hens?
*
We see the following possibilities:
1. —Moscow issues orders for the
complete seizure of China. The
Chinese Communist general gets
it, but Washington calls on its
Thought Control tower, centers the
beam on him and renders the gen
eral incapable of saying anything
but “Nuts!"
2. —The politburo prepares to is
sue a blast at America. Under the
Thought Blitzer the boys cannot
think of the words "Wall Street,”
“Money Bund” or “Exploiters."
This leaves them completely help
less.
3. —A new play opens on Broad
way. It is lousy. But the producer
has scientific connections. He con
trols the thoughts of the critics to
such an extent they can’t even dis
miss it as “adequate."
4. We go to the races with the
right combination in the Daily
Double. It is 2 and 6. The guy at
the window who has a thought con
trol apparatus fills our skull with
the numbers 4 and 7.
(P. S.—Nothing keeps us sane
except the fact that the winning
combination turns out to be 5
and 8.)

n YANKEE at King Arthur’s
** Court” has been screened
three times; Paramount’s new ver
sion is the best of the three. Done
in Technicolor, with delightful new
songs, it stars Bing Crosby, Sir
Cecil Hardwick, Rhonda Fleming
and William Bendix. Sir Cecil, su
perb in his comedy role as the
king, raises his voice in song and
Bing Crosby
also appears with bare knees, some
thing new for him, though he said
recently at luncheon that it’s the
second time the knees have ap
peared publicly. The first time was
on the stage, when he wore a
Roman toga. This is a picture for
the whole family to enjoy, expert
ly directed and acted, beautifully
staged.
Paramount will tell movie audien
ces about 11 of its new pictures in
a nine-minute short, “Eyes on
Hollywood"; starring Alan Ladd
and Mary Jane Saunders, it de
picts the thrills of a child seeing
the inside workings of a studio the
first time. Stars, directors, every
body will be seen in special scenes.
The film will be available to thea
ters without charge.
King, dog veteran of numer
ous landings in the Pacific
4uring the war, makes bis
screen debut in “After Mid
night." In his first scene he
leaped at Alan Ladd, tore his
leather jacket to shreds, and
hnng on in a struggle on the
ground—then, when Director
Mitchell Leisen called “Cut,”
King immediately relaxed his
grip and tried to lick Ladd’s
face!
Another animal' actor celebrated
his 13th birthday the other day,

i*T WISH," said Aime Butterworth
■L wistfully, “I only wish there
had been some one in our family
who really did something, something
worth while, something—” she
smiled as she said it—"I could brag
about.”
Fred Butterworth laid aside the
morning paper, gulped down the
last of his coffee, shoved back his
chair and said: “What?”
Aime overlooked his rudeness.
“The bridge club meets tere this
afternoon,” she
said, “and I
dread it. I
dread it ^ be
cause Aggie
Spencer and
and Gertrude Wilcox will monopo
lize the conversation with stories
of their ancestors.
Fred scratched his chin and con
templated the wistful look in his
wife's eyes. Suddenly he banged the
table. “By George, I’d almost for
gotten it! Darned if I hadn’t. You
sit here a minute, sweet, till I rum
mage around in the attic. I’ll give
you something to brag about!”
Later he returned with a book.
“But what is it?” asked Aime.
“It’s a book of poetry, that’s what
it is! Written by my mother and
published 20 years ago. There’s tal
ent in my family. I’ll have you
know.”
Aime’s eyes lighted, then
glowed with sudden joy. “Fred!
You dear! Is it really? Was
your mother really a poet? Oh,
why didn’t you tell me before!
It’s just too exciting!"
Fred grinned delightedly. En-
route to the station he began to
smile. And by the time he had
boarded the 8:15 the smile had de
veloped into an occasional chuckle.
Tom Cooke, who usually sat with
Fred during the short run to the
city, became curious.
“Say, what’s eating you tills
morning? Let a man in on it if
you've got something that'll fetch
a laugh these dull days.”
Fred laughed outright. ’Til tell
you, Tom. It’s too good to keep. But
don’t on your life breathe a word.
It would kill Aime.”
OM MADE SOLEMN promises
and cocked his ear. “Well,"
said Fred, "Aime was upset this
morning because she didn’t have
anything to brag about at her bridge
club. The other members, it seems,
have artistic ancestors. It made
Aime feel bad to think she married
into such an uninteresting family,
so I dug into an old trunk and pro
duced a book of poems that mother
published 20 years ago, and told
her to brag about that.”
Tom looked puzzled. “What’s
wrong with that? I'd say a mother-
in-law poet was O.K.”

“But here’s the rub,” Fred
grinned. "That book of poems
is an old manuscript that be
longed to my grandmother.
After grandmother died,
mother found the ’script,
thought the poems were
worthy of publication, added a
few of her own choice verses,
and submitted the retyped
copy to a publisher. Mr. Pub
lisher ate the stuff up.
“Mother was thrilled. She
thought she must have real talent,
and went down to the library to
study up and read the masters.
While perusing a volume of Walt
Whitman she discovered some of
the very poems that her mother had
supposedly written.
“Of course, mother immediately
wired the publisher, advising him to
cease manufacturing the book, and
explaining that her mother must
have copied' some of her favorite
Whitman poems, in order to save
them. But Mr. Publisher had al
ready printed about 2000 copies,
which were ready for distribution.
Mother bought up the edition and
destroyed all but one, which she
kept for sentimental reasons. That
one is the book I gave Aime this
morning.”

WOMAN’S WORLD
Give Your Home 'New Look'
With More, Brighter Slipcovers
B7 Ertta Haley
T BiE SPRING of the year seems a
good time to do something
about giving the home a new look.
It’s true that you’ve probably been
putting away blankets and other
wintry things, perhaps even added
a new coat of paint or fresh wall
paper to some of the rooms; but
what about new slipcovers?
Slipcovers are simple enough to
make if you have taken proper
measurements of your furniture,
and when colors are well chosen and
fitting accurate, the home achieves
a newness that nothing else, except
new furniture, can give it.
You need no longer put off the job
of covering the furniture because of
lack of fabric selection. All types
of new materials are on the market,
and coordinated fabrics are sold
even in the inexpensive lines.
When covering more than one
piece of furniture in a room, take
advantage of the coordinated color
Freshen or change rooms ....
schemes if you feel a bit shy about
what’s proper together. Even an
amateur can come up with a com
bination of fabrics which looks pro
fessional when the choice of sever
al fabrics is done by professionals.
It’s smart, too, to have two sets
of slipcovers and drapes, one for
winter use, and now, one for sum
mer wear. This gives you a good
opportunity to “rest” one set when
the other goes into use.
Then, too, it gives you plenty of
time to clean or wash one set while
still having the furniture covered.
Light Colored Fabrics
Are Favored
For warm weather, the sunlight
colors are much favored. That
doesn’t mean that you can not use
some brown, navy or even black in
the room for slipcovers; it simply
implies that the over-all effect is
gay and lighthearted as befits the
season.
. . . with new slipcovers.
If the weather is predominantly
sweltering in your community most
of the time, you may easily achieve
a cool effect by using quantities of
white with cool shades of icy green,
blue and touches of maroon.
To cheer the rooms a bit, if they
are on a cool side of the house, se
lect the light yellows, orange, and
melon shades.
The colors you use depend a great
deal upon the style in which the
home is furnished. If you have
modern, you’ll have a picnic with
the wonderful shades of grayed
yellow, chartreuse, melon and,
sometimes, deep purple. Deep,
forest greens are still a favorite.
For Early American homes.
Be Smart!
When hair-dos are simple,
your hat takes on more of an
ornamental quality. And what
could be more provocatively
ornamental than the many ver
sions of the bonnet now in the
fashion spotlight! Here, for ex
ample, Is one of the new bon
nets, close-fitting and tiny, the
better to give the cap-like dash
of color above bangs and softly-
curled underhair. For utter
femininity, there’s nothing
more effective than a splash of
small flowers repeated in a rib
bon-backed corsage, and a vel
vet ribbon tied underneath the
chin.
Rips Out Seams
A new sewing invention,
known as the ripper, fits into
the needle bar on any sewing
machine and takes out seams
as fast as the ordinary needle
sews them in. Destined to
save the home seamstress many
hours of time, the ripper prom
ises to eliminate completely
old-fashioned ripping methods.
The device is a specially honed
and angled, tiny, knife-like in
strument. It separates the
weave in the fabric without
cutting the cloth, but slices the
taut bobbin stitch. The at
tachment is installed as simply
as changing needles on the ma
chine. To use. simply follow
the path of stitching as the cloth
passes under the foot.
there’s a wealth of calico types as
well as checks, stripes and fasci
nating floral prints.
If you have one of the period
homes, you’ll find a wealth of rich
textures and new fabrics available
which will be in keeping with the
deep, lustrous woods and fine furni
ture detailing.
Don’t be Wary of choosing the
lighter colors just because you fear
they might get dirty. You can
cover the fresh slipcovers with
clear and transparent covers if you
have a horde of active youngsters
cavorting about.
Many Aids Available
For Sewing
In the past, many women have
steered away from the tailored slip
cover because they haven’t been
able, with ease, to make them look
really tailored.
The boxed slipcover with welt
seams is the most popular type of
cover among professionals, but it
may be made at home. The welt
which is at the seams may now be
purchased by the yard and may be
attached to the seams before they
are sewed together.
In place of fasteners, you may use
zippers, which are put on much
the same way as they are on
dresses and skirts.
In the past, we were advised to
cut the material right on the
chair, leaving a seam allowance.
For those of you who lack this con
fidence in cutting, patterns are
available.
All of these aids will help in mak
ing the job of putting together a
slipcover as easy as making a pot
holder.
Step-by-Step Directions
Given for Slipcovering
Many problems are solved, as
I’ve mentioned, if you use a pattern,
but if you do not use one, or if
you cannot find the type you need,
follow these tips.
Lay the fabric on the chair or
whatever you are covering and see
that the pattern or stripe is proper
ly centered. Decide on the shape
by shaping the boxing at the front
of the chair. Pin the fabric in place.
Work with the right side of the fab
ric. Every seam is folded three-
fourths of an inch so there is enough
fabric to be formed into a welt if
you are making it of the same ma-
teriaL
Chalk lines where seams come;
also chalk the outline of the seat
and front bands. Remove fabric
and place on the floor where you
can check the measurements of the
chair against the actual fabric out
lines. Cut the seat and allow for
seams. Make allowances at the
end for all bands and flaps, so they
may be tailored neatly in finishing
the cover when the seat is joined to
the skirt.
Lay the cut material, pinned' and
basted, on the chair. Measure for
the back of the chair and also at
the lowest point where the fabric
folds into the chair. Chalk the usual
lines again; place fabric on floor
and check against the original
measurements.
Now fit the fabric to the arm and
wing of the chair. Check this on
the floor as outlined above, and cut
• similar piece for the other arm.
Measure, cut and pin a small
piece for the sides of the chair. Af
ter one side is finished, it may be
duplicated for the other side.
For pleats at the corners, allow
four Inches of material Hem the
skirt and join to the band of the
cover with a welt seam.
Elements of Salt
Interchangeable
Chemically speaking, common
table salt is a true compound con
sisting of the elements sodium and
chloride: nothing more and noth
ing less. Its complete interchange
ability can be demonstrated by
merely heating the salt red hot
until it melts and passing an elec
tric current through the molten
liquid: the resulting products will
be sodium—soft, shining metal—
and yellow chlorine gas.
If the experiment is followed
through and the sodium thus ob
tained is warmed gently to render
it molten and plunged back into
the aforesaid chlorine gas, the two
elements will unite, burst into
flame and burn back into pure
white everyday table salt.
