I've always been sus picious of 2-toned shoes, and there may be a con nection. Where I come from, 2-toned shoes were a sure! sign of chicanery afoot. Especial ly white shoes with black fancy work on them.

I can remember an old lady who was forever saying "Watch your pocketbook if any of those 2-toners come around." It's true that one summer day she bought four shares in the Merchandise Mart Bldg. from a caller who was wearing conserve tive all-black shoes and suit and hat to match and who, it turned out, didn't own any part of the Merchandise Mart. But she was certain the man had merely changed shoes in his car before he knocked on the door, and then changed back again after he left. In the Air Her hunch was probably right. nyway, it impressed me.

To this day, whenever an all-black-shoe- type operator tries to sell me a cemetery lot or some gold-em bossed uranium stocks, I always check through his car first to see if he's got any 2-toners hidden in As I said, I'm afraid my prejudice is extending to the 1- and 3-hued automobile. It strikes me as especially unseemly for people in the dignified occupations, like doctors, lawyers, undertakers and bankers. If I ever saw my banker sporting down the street in a green, pink and white job, I'd immediately have visions of blondes, race tracks and embezzlements, and feel moved to withdraw my funds. And for that Last Ride, I want black, all black. No red trim, please.

Actually, there's no such person as "my banker." That's a term a man can legitimately use only after his deposits exceed $50,000. Better make it $100,000. .15 -if Vfi.i,i, i something of a fair, a city from the Arabian Nights, a metropolis of the future, a showplace of magic and living facts, but above all, a place for people to find happiness and knowledge." Four Major Attractions Disneyland will be divided into four major parts: (1) Tomorrow-land; (2) Fantasyland; (3) Frontierland; and (4) Adventureland. According to information provided by Walt Disney Productions, here is what you can expect when you visit these four Toniorrowland will feature a giant space rocket, buildings of advanced architectural design where industries will have exhibits, a heliport, space terminal where you can board rocket ship and experience the sensations of a flight to the moon, and a "super automatic" restaurant. Youthful drivers-to-be will be able to drive scaled down versions of cars of the future on freeways J.or the future, and you will be able take an excursion around a cir cular water course aboard a scale model speedboat.

Fantasyland Visitors will enter Fantasyland through the portals of a medieval castle with parapets 73 feet high. Attractions in the castle will include the huge dining hall and Sleeping Beauty slumbering in the splendor of her castle bedchamber.

The Mr.

Toad Drive Thru in Fantasyland will take the visitor on a series of misadventures in a 1903 model automobile.

Other Attractions Other attractions in Fantasyland will include a Monstro the Whale slide, a Casey Jr. train, an aerial ride on Dumbo the Flying Elephant and a canal boat ride.

Leather stockinged frontiermen and Indians of many tribes will be gathered at the entrance. There'll be a shooting gallery where you can take aim at replicas of wild animals, using authentic buffalo guns of the Ol' West. All the stores and buildings of the town will be reminiscent of the frontier period. You will be able to watch a harness maker at ork, see ponies being shod at the blacksmith shop and visit a general store. An old time train will take you on a Years thousands- of years ago when fiery rivers flowed from half a dozen volcanoes in the mountains that ring the valley, would form a solid backbone for the suggested project.

Engineers say these lava beds, or "the Pedregal" as they are known, are as solid as Manhattan's rock foundation and could "hold the weight of the world." The project would call for construction of 10 independent cities of 50 000 inhabitants within the next 30 years. The cities would be connected by a network of speedways and would solve not only the sinking problems but those of power, water, traitic ana supply. VLiT .4 Ar and other story Fantasyland. AP NEWSFEATURES BERLIN Once a week, a graying 66-year-old woman unpacks paper flowers at a West Berlin market and makes a pathetic efi'ort to sell them. Few realize she was the world's first international beauty queen.

Gertrude Dopieralski (it was Gerda Sieg when she was famous) hardly realizes it herself. Her sentences come out in a hurried jumble as she breathlessly tells of plans for the future. "I'm going back to the stage," she says, looking around cautiously "I can't stand this life any moae it's too lonely." And onely it is. She sits in her shabby room day after day, putting together paper flowers. "See how nice they are," she says, "don't waste your money on ordinary flowers they never last." Things were different in October 1908, when a cute 20-year-old girl from Berlin was named the fairest in all of Europe.

Her picture was scattered ahout the world on fashionable postcards. She was in demand on the stage. Hard Luck This was all changed by hard luck, World War and death of a husband. She had been chosen beauty the idea of "water injection" to be practical. Steady sinking has caused widespread damage to downtown buildings.

Cracked walls and many of the oldir structures Waning at dizzy a.igles present a grim picture for the future. Junk I 1 125,000 MILES i Ml-mi. 'w.

The project arose from the theory that the old lake bed on which the city is built is drying and settling because too much water has been taken from the ground and drained away. But.

The weight of towering buildings erected during the past decade is breaking the back of Mexico City's foundation, and the heart of the business district is sinking at the rate of 12 to 18 inches a year. Esperts say the area will have to be evacuated within 40 years unless a solution to the problem Js found.
