Young But Enterprising
Knoxville, Tenn.— (U.R.) —Police say the latest addition to the boot-legging fleet in this dry city is a pretty young girl who delivers whiskey on a motorscooter. Chief Joe Kimsey said the girl is only one of many teen-agers who take illegal liquor to customers.
Come Next Fall, College Men May Appreciate 'Hex Tents'
Washington, D.C.-The U.S. Army is using ideas developed by the American Indians, the Mongols and the Eskimos in its effort to provide troops sufficient shelter against severe Korean winter weather.
More than 30,000 five-man "hex tents" have been shipped to Korea and more are on the way. The tent is six-sided, with a lining and a special gasoline stove. It is designed to keep troops warm when the temperature is as low as 58 below zero.
The hex tent is shaped somewhat like an Indian tepee. It incorporates features of utility and comfort found not only in the teepole, but in Eskimo igloos and in the yurts, or felt tents of the Mongol tribes of Asia, says the National Geographic Society.
Both the tepee and the yurt are built to withstand strong winds. The yurt, with its round shape and dome top, actually is anchored, or driven toward the ground by wind. The conical shape of the tepee serves the same purpose.
The hex tent is also designed for windy areas. It is peaked at the top, like the tepee. But it resembles the yurt in its greater circumference in relation to height.

A compact gasoline stove is a decidedly better method of heating than the open fires of the Mongols and Indians, and the side vent for stove fumes is considerably more efficient than the smoke holes of primitive tents. The Indians had an arrangement of flaps at the smoke hole that could be adjusted to the wind by use of poles to control interior smoke.
The hex tent has a ground cloth
to keep out cold winds and seal in warm air. The Mongols use rugs for the same purpose. The Indians stuffed dried grasses and sometimes buffalo hides around the bottom edges of their tepees.
Many Eskimo igloos have animal skin linings that do the same thing. They provide an air space for insulation and they prevent drip on the occupants. The skin linings have still another use. They keep the snow of the igloo from melting too rapidly on the inside.
In construction, however, the army tent and the shelters of the Indians and the Mongols differ widely. The hex tent is like the familiar army pyramidal tent, suspended from a center pole and held in shape by staked guy lines. Its material is cotton twill.
The Army describes as an "outstanding feature" of the hex tent an inner lining which provides insulation and prevents frost from falling on inhabitants.
The teepe was covered with buffalo hide, sewn together and stretched over a framework of poles angling in from the circumference and tied together near the top to form a cone.
The yurt is built up from a folding, latticelike framework that forms the walls, while the top is made of wooden wands bent inward and attached to a hoop at the center. Over this framework is placed wool felt, held in place by lashings.
The press has the fundamental responsibility to publish the news with accuracy, fairness, good taste and completeness, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy told more than 400 high school students during Thanksgiving vacation in Topeka.
Murphy Explains Press Responsibilities
The students came from all over the nation Nov.23 and Nov. 24 to attend the 25th annual National Scholastic Press association conference.
Chancellor Murphy warned the audience that not only the press, but the general public should be awake to prevent encroachments on the freedom of the press.
"A free society requires an unfettered press not only for its vitality but for its survival," he said.
"The challenges today are merely different than those in the past. They are subtle ones involving social, economic and political prob-
Jems." he explained.
"If the youth of today can meet these challenges, the future, instead of being black, can be one of the golden epochs in human history," Dr. Murphy said.
Other faculty members, from the journalism school, attending the conference were Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, Miss Frances Grinstead and Emil L. Telfel, associate professors of journalism, and Victor J. Danilov, assistant professor of journalism.
It's the sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke, on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments. Once you've tried Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why...
Last Grand Master of the Royal Order of Gourmets and Raconteurs—our outspoken friend knows how to find the proof of the pudding. Especially such a thing as cigarette mildness! A "quick puff" and a "single sniff' left him hungry for facts. Smokers everywhere have tried the same tests and discovered the one true test of cigarette mildness!
After all the Mildness Tests . . .
