for Dunkers
NEW YORK—(IIP)—The doughnut stylists this year will change the caliber of the doughnut hole, just as the fashion experts decree upswept or downtumbling hair-dos.
They have been doing it for years and no one has paid much attention. The standard doughnut
of today, for instance, has a regulation bore of seven-eighths of an inch. A year ago the micrometers measured it at 13-16 of an inch. In 1939 it was 15-16.
No one, least of all the National Dunking association, is willing to offer a rational explanation. The association is to meet in New York and one of its sessions will decide on the proper size of the doughnut hole for the 1942 season. NEVER EXCEEDED INCH
It has never been more than an inch and never under 13-16 of an inch, so the chances are, if you want to bet, that it will go back in 1942 to the 1939 standard, 15-16. When the association has made its ruling the n a t io n ’ s doughnut-making machines will be rebored to conform.
The National Dunking association is composed of people who have been asked if they want to join the National Dunking association and have replied ‘‘Yes.” It claims a membership of more than 1,000,000, with 300 chapters in about 300 cities.
CLING TO DUNKING
The members profess to believe firmly in dunking and are sworn to dunk whether anyone is looking or not. They have strong, but various, opinions about the ‘difference between a cruller derived from the Dutch “krullen,” to curl) and a doughnut, (derivation obscure).
At their meeting they usually wrangle about the origin of the doughnut and this subject is due to come up at the convention again this year.
Church-going dunkers believe that a Maine mariner, the late Capt. Hanson Gregory of Camden, Me., first showed his mother how to punch a hole in the center of the doughnut, thereby permitting the heat of the frying fat to penetrate evenly through the dough. Previously doughnut centers had been raw and soggy.
A splinter group this year is challenging the plan of the association to erect a statue in honor of Capt. Gregory and organize a pilgrimage to Camden.
Fish to Receive Uniform Names
When a business man on a vacation catches a fish it’s just a plain fish to him, but when an expert angler catches one it’s going to have a technical name from now on.
Before long when a Florida fisherman says he caught a southern snapper while the California angler insists that he really caught a Pacific sucker, an Easterner can say that it was something else again and be right.
It's all because the American Fisheries society is nearly ready to release a standard set of names for fish with the sole idea of clearing up linguistic difficulty.
Common fish names now vary widely, according to Walter H. Chute, director of the Shedd Aquarium at Chicago, who has been in charge of the fish-naming committee for three years.
“A standard list of common names is essential if fishermen are to talk the same language,” he maintains.
“A fisherman in the deep south talks of catching a green trout now,” Chute says. “But in these regions there are no true trout. What is really meant is a large-mouth black bass. An angler from Wisconsin wouldn’t have the slight-

Symphony Concertmaster Wins Prestige in Recital
by Virginia McCollister
Virtuosity distinguished the concert appearance of violinist Bronislaw Gimpel-in the Wilshire-Ebell theater Friday evening.
The young concertmaster of the Philharmonic orchestra was presented by L. E. Behymer, in continuation of the lat-
ter’s laudable project of giving --
local talent suitable recognition and thus breaking the monopoly or monotony of concerts by imported concert stars to the exclusion of all others.
The assurance that comes with a skill which overcomes all technical difficulties are Gimpel’s, but he does not lapse into bad taste by exploiting this adroitness.
DAHL ACCOMPANIES
His success was favored no little by his good fortune in having as accompanist Ingolf Dahl. Besides being a concert pianist who delights listeners with his ease, enthusiasm, and sincerity, Dahl would do credit to any artist in the capacity of accompanist.
Bach’s Sonato in G Minor for violin unaccompanied, Tartini’s “Devils Trill” Sonata, and the Goldmark Concerto in A Minor were the major works of the evening. They were followed by Ernst Bloch’s “Baal Schem,” Debussy’s “La Plus Que Lente” and “Minstrels,Rumanian National Dances by Bartok, and Paganini’s Caprice No. 24.
HAD MUSICAL MESSAGE
Gimpel followed in the best tradition — carefully choosing the champagne pieces in violin literature, showy technical items that Jose Rodriquez calls “musical massage tables,” and the lighter more ephemeral essays into romanticism; and deviating from this charmed circle with only one work of the utmost musical depth.
All this, of course, must be to his credit, for it is a trait he shares with some of the most highly regarded masters of the violin. And probably only a few eccentrics here
and there, (viewed coldly, even though they may not disclaim entirely the merits of the above type of music, by large numbers of musicians and music lovers alike) would wish to hear more Bach, Beethoven, Brahms or anything a little different.
‘BAAL SCHEM* OFFERED
Unlimited possibilities of int#-pretation are inherent in the Bach sonata. Gimpel did not exaggerate or even particularly stress expression, but he made it a pleasure to hear the work again.
Ernst Bloch’s “Ba,al Schem” had great feeling, eloquent Hebraic sadness, and served as a remnderi that here is a composer to keep one’s eye on.
With the rich, rugged, and rhythmical Rumanian National Dances concocted by Bela Bartok, Gimpel had the joint jumpin’—er, that is, sent the listeners home in a warm glow.
DUE TO APPEAR
Bartlett and Robertson, famed English duo pianists, will be soloists in the Werner Janssen symphony orchestra’s first concert of the season next Thursday evening in the Wilshire-Ebell theater.
Felix Sitjar, 15-year-old violinist of exceptional talent, will present a concert Wednesday evening, Nov. 5, at Plumber park auditorium, 7377 Santa Monica boulevard.
Young Sitjar recently won a scholarship with Efrem Zimbalist at Curtis institute. The Merem-blum junior symphony, of which he is concertmaster, is sponsoring this concert in order to finance his trip east.
Dull Saturday
by Ray Roberts
Where were you when the northern 14-0 battle took place? Perhaps you were one of the umpteen hundred in the Memorial stadium at Berkeley, or maybe you were just lying across the bed in your room at the house listening to the game and unconsciously shouting from time to time, “come on you Trojans.”
This casual observer, strangely enough, was at neither place. I was wandering about a very strange-appearing SC campus. CHIMES PREDICT DEFEAT
As I strolled across the familiar walks and lawns I was amazed by the utter and desolate silence of the place. Instead of the loud chatter of students taking “five” for a coke during chapel, I heard nothing but the oh, so mournful tolling of the bells from Mudd hall. They seemed to be sadly predicting the defeat that came later as they struck three.
There was no flashing of brightly colored sweaters that depicts fellows and girls hastening to and from class. There were only two small boys playing with a little brown and yellow dog out in front of the Administration building.
TOMMY BLINDFOLDED
Not even proud Tommy Trojan was allowed to look down and behold this sad scene. He was wrapped up from base to helmet in a dull grey cloak of canvas which was most unbecoming even to Tommy.
Suddenly, a loud cheer from the distant coliseum broke the abject silence. My spirits rose only to fall again when I realized that it was the cross-town chums enjoying themselves at the expense of Oregon university.
SILENCE AWES
True, I found a few individuals in the Student Union, but they were gathered into tight little groups, all anxiously hanging on to every word uttered by the announcer describing the “big game” at Berkeley.
The silence of the#campus finally got me, .and I soon headed for home and a good loud radio to get the results from up north.
Movable Eye Aids Defense
MEXICO CITY — (U.P) — The invention of an artificial eye that moves, an important contribution not only to science but also to American defense, was reported to the International Assembly of the International College of Surgeons which met here.
Dr. Theodore J. Dimitry, director of the department of ophthalmology at the Louisiana State University medical cenjter, told the assembly that with the outbreak of war in Europe he foresaw a shortage of glass eyes in the tfnited States. Germany has a monopoly on the manufacture of glass used in blowing glass eyes.
To forestall a glass-eye shortage, Dr. Dimitry began experimenting with two objects in view: to develop an artificial eye that would turn, and to develop an eye that could be manufactured from a substance other than glas

“Above Suspision,” Helen Trying to outwit the Gest^ journey into the dreaded ini Maclnnes sees to it in “Abo] worried, hurried, and chased Oxford until the end of the novel.
Teacher Richard Myles and his wife enter Germany in aid of the underground movement, which gets anti-Nazis out of the Gestapo’s grasp. Leaders of the underground organization believe that their head man in Germany has been caught, although several professional spies] sent tp verify this have not re-1 turned.
PICK MYLES FOR JOB
Convinced that only amateurs have a chance of success, the English leaders of the movement pick Myles and his wife for the job that the professionals failed. Both the don’s position and the fact that the couple have in past summers vacationed on the Continent make them above suspicion.
At an Oxford party before departure, the don’s wife, Prances, first expresses her strong feelings of Nazi injustice. The author makes the analyses of Nazi thinking important to the novel. One of the main ways the reader comes to understand the Myles’ characters is through what they say against fascism.
GET ONE CLUE
From the English agents, the Myles receive only one clue for their search. At 11 o’clock in a Paris cafe Myles upsets his glass of Cointreau. At this moment,

Zambingos are all -physical education majors. Javelin thrower and archery occupy much of their spare time between meals, but tennis is very unpopular.
That is because cat gut is costly, and most of the cats in their country are very large. They are reddish-yellow with black stripes around them and do not lend themselves to tennis or badminton. Bigger game is in vogue. INTERESTING PEOPLE
As individuals Zambingos are very interesting. One of their transfer students here at school supplied the answers to several questions during an interview the other day. When asked what Zambingos enjoy, he answered, “hunting and eating.” Hunting what?” we asked, and he said, “something to eat.” That is two and two philosophy with a cause and effect relationship.
He showed us slides of life in Zambingo. Women with tapering leopard skins cut on the bias are very popular. He remarked that giris are popular in his country, anyhow, and each man can marry as many as he can support. He said murder is a very serious crime in Zambingo and usually results in death.
HIGH CULTURE
As far as advanced cultural patterns are concerned, the Zambingos haven’t lagged. Jewelers do a remarkable business over there, and their job requires more skill than Tiffany’s would be inclined to admit. When measuring a young Zambingo maiden for her wedding ring, the local jeweler must be particularly careful or he might choke her to death. The ring fits snugly around her neck, forcing the blood into her head and clouding the vision so as to give her husband complete control of the family.
Zambingos are highly interested in anthropology and always wear the skulls of their ancestors around their waist^. Everyone has a skeleton in hV closet, and many of the bones are assorted according to size to be used as door bells. SC’;
