Cookbook Will Be Favorite Reading For British Bride of K.U. Student
Mrs. Rose May Enter School in Summer
Eugene Rose, special student at KU. plans to gain back the nine pounds he lost last semester.
His vivacious, big-eyed British bride, who arrived from England on the Argentina last week, with several brides, will be responsible, br says.
"A big American cookbook is going to be Cynthia's favorite reading." he grins, and she doesn't contradict him.
"But the war stopped, transportation stopped, and I stopped," she laughs.
They met during a dance at an air base in central England, and were married almost two years ago. Mrs. Rose planned to come to America last May.
She applied for another visa last fall, after her husband had been returned to this country in time to enroll in the fall semester.
"They say the Argentina had the roughest Altantic crossing in 20 years," she relates, "but I picked the one calm day to be seasick!"
"Seeing America has made me realize how little we had at home," the little Britishiser comments. "Gosh, all those things in the stores!"
She tosses off American slang with a British accent, and is considering entering KU. next summer so she can be a real Jayhawker.
For Size 16 (or Less),
There'll Be
Pastel Slacks in Plaid
New York. (UP)—Pastel plaids in six different flavors will grace the slack-clad posteriors of some 200,000 women this spring—but only up to size 16.
That, the king of slacks allows, is about as big as will dare the lovely butt conspicuous woolens he has designed and contracted to buy exclusively from Phyllis fabrics. (Plain colors, now, he'll make for a 60-inch waist—and sell.)
Louis Schaeffer, the king by trademark (also the queen and the prince), who will put pink panties on the ladies with complete modesty, says the novelty checks he's made for women. —And he claims to make 75 per cent of the nation's man-tailored slacks for women.
The new woolen line is a plaid the size of a large check with six variations of confectionary colors all on white; two shades of red; pink and blue; rose and blue; red and green (but muted), and green and pink.
Man-tailoring will cut down on the illusion of spread, Schaefer says—but that doesn't mean men's pants. Schaefer made them once, but he's got a different pattern for the ladies; he put his waistband over the waist, a handful of inches wider the rear; a slimmer leg, in three combinations for varying figures.
Schaeffer says he sells some 750,000 pairs of slacks a year, and has been supplying the British war brides by means of the Red Cross.
Slacks are here to stay, Schaeffer says. With the new vogue in hippiness, who's to deny?
Train Helps 'Spread' Truckload of Nylons
Washington. (UP)—The shortage of nylon stockings in suburban Hyattsville, Md., was not quite so acute today, after the wreck of a large trailer truck on a railroad crossing.
The cargo included stockings men's socks and 2500 pound bolts of nylon yarn. The truck driver escaped before the train hit his vehicle.
A train demolished the truck which had stalled on the crossing and dozens of persons grabbed stockings and took off their shoes. A police arrived to guard the cargo.

A Fireman Hits Bottom —'Missed the Durn Pole'
Houston, Tex. (UP) — Awakened by the clanging alarm, Fireman J. H. Skeeters jerked on his clothes early today and jumped at the quick-exit pole. His 200 pounds landed 20 feet below on the floor.
"Missed the durn thing," he explained at a hospital where doctors reported no bones broken. P.S. It was a false alarm.

Let Me Serve Full Term, Forger Pleads
Philadelphia. (UP) —The judge tried to console pretty, 21-year-old Mrs. Elaine McColgan when he sentenced her to a year-and-a-day in prison for forging a neighbor's allotment check to buy groceries.
"If you behave yourself," said Judge Harry E. Kalodner, "you will be eligible for parole in four months."
But Mrs. McColgan refused the offer, explaining:
"If you don't mind, Judge, I'd rather serve the whole sentence. My whole life has been messed up and the only way I can straighten things out is to be away for a long time."

Proficiency Exam To Be March 30
Here's another chance for College upperclassmen.
K. U. upperclassmen enrolled in the College will have one more chance on March 30 to pass the English proficiency examination for this school term, Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, English instructor, announced today.
Students enrolled in the College and who will be candidates for the bachelor of arts degree, are advised to take the eamination during their junior year, in order that they will have sufficient time to take the examination again if they fail, she added.

To pass the examination, the student must be able to express himself clearly in English composition. For students who find composition work difficult and are interested in improving their writing, a writing laboratory will be available beginning Monday, between 2:30 and 4:30
every school day in 501 Fraser, Mrs.
Calderow said. Miss Hannah Roberts,
English instructor, and Mrs.
Calderow will be in charge.
