Art in the Abstract by Archipenko State of the Nation belted Garvey on the head, with twe-by-four. Garvey biffed back with flashlight. They clinched, fell to floor; gave each other a good sound drubbing, fell back exhausted. Then they both recognized each other's groans.

Deputy sheriffs, summoned to scene of unfortunate' encounter, carted Gordon and Garvey off to the hospital, where they were treated in the same room for severe head lacerations, bruises, contusions, etc. ruby lips among the student gentry of Ohio. Barred Events Warden Glenn C. Haynes put his foot down on two proposed additions to Iowa Pen's sports program. Barred events: cross country running, pole vaulting.

Presidio, prison nag, quoted Warden as saying: "Prospective harriers must wait a few years before realizing secret ambitions to become long distance travelers." But, continued magazine, pole vaulting might be permitted, if it were "confined to those who can do no better than 10 feet." Unhappy Ending Marcla Garcia, 30-year-old Ballinger, Texas, woman who gained 215 pounds since last Christmas (as recorded In Trend, March 26) died unexpectedly last week. She weighed 160 last December 25; 375 pounds at her death. Medicos had been unable to fathom strange glandular disturbance. Betty Co-Ed Scores Famed are Dixie co-eds for their beauty, personality, oomph defined by Earl of Warwick as "a feminine desirability which can be observed with pleasure but cannot be discussed with But, according to recent survey, coeds at University of South Carolina have "oomph" plus. IT.

of S. C. didn't call it "oomph." Had what it termed a "scientifically constructed personality test." Test was given to Betjy Co-Ed and Johnny College, both. Result: average score for girls, 108; for boys, 92. Betty also scored higher in "self determination," "adjustment to the opposite sex." Johnny was first In "economic self determination." On "social Initiative," though, they ran even.

Trend reports it for what it is worth. Marksman After several days' confinement with a cold, eight-year-old Bobby Jones, son of Dr. and Mrs. Marvin Jones, N. Y.

found Urns lay heavy on his hands. He simply had to DO something. So he got his big brother's 22-caliber rifle. Went to kitchen window of ninth-story Park Ave. apartment.

Started banging away, then and there, at ventilator on opposite wing of the building. Marksmanship wasn't so good. Bullet crashed Into quarters of Percival Smith, lawyer, across the way. Frightened maid yelled for superintendent. He came, looked out the window.

Bullet hit brick near his head. He called cops. Went up on roof to reconnoitre. Another shot drove him to cover. Came two carloads of policemen, filling the lobby.

Patrolman Joseph Alyard looked in at the Smiths. Bullet nicked his ear. Another grazed superintendent's cheek. Tenants slammed windows all over the building. Cops peered from apertures.

Saw high up on ninth floor a rifle barrel poking through a window and Bobby munching an apple, during a lull. Bobby saw the cops, saw they'd seen him; tried to get away. "Mummy, let's take a walk," said he. But he had to face the music. And did.

They let him off with a warning, a ladder, wiser man. If I Nix on Nudists Big news from, Ohio is that gym-nosophy movement may be forced underground. Other day the House, by overwhelming vote (112 to 14) passed and sent to the Senate a measure to ban nudism in the Buckeye State. Gymnosophists (1. e.

those who believe in pursuing the good life in their birthday suits) were pretty alarmed about it. In spite of decisive vote, bill was subjected during debate to much facetious criticism. Exclaimed Representative Wilford Bixler: "Think what a vast number of airplane accidents this measure will prevent." Buster Comes Back, 1 Truman Wade of Phoenixvllle, Pa, sold his prize setter to a resident of Salisbury, Md, more than 100 miles away. Week later, Buster was back in his own home. Had come himself, on foot.

Won by show of canine affection, Mr. Wade reclaimed his pup forthwith and returned the purchase price. Cats and Dogs, Etc. In northern. Mississippi's heavy downpour the other day it rained ducks.

But Clyde Pace, tax investigator at Greenville, reports that sudden hail storm stunned wild flying ducks, drove them into the street. Investigator hopped out of his auto, caught one, took it home, had it for supper. Yes, sir. Born Ukrainian. Alexander Archipenko has been described as the modern Rodin.

Just as mysteriously, he was back again last week. Fahnestock found him, badly bedraggled in front seat of his garaged auto although, in intervening years, he'd changed his hom'e. Opined he: "Someone must have felt a belated twinge of conscience." Mr. Vote-Getter Percy (Buster) Darling of Springfield, 111., was once a dog catcher, then a traffic cop, then a tavern greeter.

Last month he decided he'd like to be a City Commissioner. So he found himself a platform. During two-week campaign he advertised his telephone number, informed housewives that if they noti- Balance Body! Dr. Walter L. Mendenhalf, Boston U.

Pencils attached to heads traced balance, or lack of it, under various conditions. Which led to this conclusion: "Girls wearing high heels have better equilibrium than when they're bare-loot." Weak point In otherwise 100 percent scientific experiment: Doctor doesn't know whether high heels really helped balance or girls were Just unused to bare feet. 3jT yy rtt 75 If -W Their Mistake Chanute (Kans.) Fire Department got a call the other day from Mrs. Bert Brolliar. She wanted to know where to go to vote.

Fire laddies got their wires crossed. Rushed trucks to her home, connected hose to hydrants, piled onto porch. Explained startled housewife: "I Just wanted to go and vote for the water softener." Firemen offered to give her a ride on hook and ladder truck to the polls, which turned out to be at the fire station. No, thank you, said she, she'd Just as soon walk. P.

S. chanute okayed the water softener. Pace Slackens For the information of collegiate goldfish gulpers (record, by the way, is still 67, washed down with one pint of milk by Gordon Southworth of Middlesex, Mass.) Professor Sarah At-satt, U. of California, last week proffered this estimate: Human stomach has a physiological limit of between 125 and 150 goldfish. Such a prodigious gulping would total about a pound of fish, she said.

Would contain 1,000 calories, equivalent of a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, or two hamburger sandwiches complete with lettuce and mayonnaise. Madam Professor had no sooner spoken than came the news that George Raab of Franklin and Marshall, who swallowed a mere six, was languishing on bed of pain, suffering grave intestinal sorrow. Champion Gordon Southworth himself was awaiting "discipline." And goldfish eaters the nation over were taking it pretty easy, mindful of what Madam Professor had said. To be sure, Tom Killefer, 22, of Stanford XT, before a crowd of cheering fellows, bit off the head of a 12-lnch water snake. And Joseph Stokit-sky, Lafayette junior, picked up a magazine and in 25 minutes intemperately dispatched it, cover to cover And Marion Salisbury, Oregon State College sophomore, in two gulps downed two handsful of fat, well-washed garden variety angle worms, to the total of 139, thereby winning a bet of $5.

Said Marion (he, not she): "Angle worm is pure, uncon-tamlnated animal protein. Some one blazed the trail for tomatoes, which were once looked on as poison and scorned as food." Nevertheless, Student Marion was barred, by faculty order, from the college dance as result of "undesirable publicity" he had brought to the angle worm and Oregon. Pare, uncontaminated protein! Wide World Betty Wuerful's Easter Eggs Models of big ones laid a long, long time ago in Madagascar by Aepyornis maximus, prehistoric giant amonq birds (otherwise known as the elephant bird). Aepyornis (pronounced e-pi-or-nis) maximus left remains which showed it was a whole lot bigger than an ostrich. Strange native legend is that it used to carry off live elephants to feed its young, but American Museum of Natural History says that isn't so.

Anyhow, it was pretty big. Betty is shown above, at the Field Museum in Chicago In her hand she holds a humming bird's nest containing tiny eggs for comparison with those of Aepyornis maximus, which held seven quarts of white and yolk. Trend ventures Easter bunny would be scared right nut of his big silk bow tie to see one of them rolling down the White House lawn At work on Moses the Lawgiver, in color.

Battle of Beauties Great and grievous controversy has been raging in Akron U. and Kent Stat seats of higher learning in State of Ohio.

Dispute became so tempestuous that Mile. Scholar couldn't keep her mind on her work, dabbled with her rouge pots when she should be learning her French and Greek and botany and trig. Authorities decided to have the whole thing out. Arranged a "Battle of Beauty" to put Mile. Scholar's mind to rest.

The other night it was cold and drizzly. Gordon had Just snuggled into bed when he heard noises in the barn. Picked he up a two-by-four and crept out to unlighted scene of the disturbance. Garvey Frizzell, 37, had Just snuggled into bed, too.

Bed was alongside Gordon's in same room. Began he to hear noises. So up he rose and got himself a flashlight and sneaked out. There in the barn they met. Gordon Return to Life Cops got a call from neighbors of Mrs.

Nash: Our modern day "civilized madhouse" is sending as many people to mental institutions as it is graduating from college. He has figures to prove it. Few men, he observes, kill themselves from over work. Chief offenders are "over-worry, over-rush, over-eat, overdrink and under-sleep."
