Instead of the squeak getting less, however, It got steadily worse, then the engine started to heat up and with a tough head-wind to buck It was hard keeping up to SO.

A San Franciscan. The town by the Golden Gate seems to be producing more musical than athletic prodigies these days. There hasn't been a champion boxer from San Francisco In a long time.

Shortly after she married millionaire who gave her 1400,000 as a wedding present. Believe Margot and her millionaire husband recently dis agreed. However, another mil lionaire, George Jesse!, is re ported much interested in Miss Grahame. Asking Queries from clients: Q. What about Florida being a tough spot for dogs? A. Don't know about It. Never brought a dog there. However, It Is said the colder the temperature the better the treatment of dogs. Eskimos are said to treat dogs better than any other people in the world. Q. Has "lie detector" evidence ever been admitted in a murder case. A. Not that I know of. In 1933 an attempt was made to intro duce such evidence into a case in Wisconsin. In refusing to al low this the Judge said: "Ad mission of the lie detector may easily result in the trial of the lie detector rather than the issue of the case." Pleas Not It was Thackery who said; "A woman without a laugh in her is the greatest bore in exist ence." Such female Is also usually the type of person re ferred to by Edward Everett Hale when he said: "Some peo ple bear three troubles at one time. All they have had. All they have now, and all they ex pect to have.' Henry Ford II seems to have hit the nail on the noggin ith the following recent remark: "When you fix pi.ces you control every production operation.

' First Backers Hank Greenberg, the second I- it ballplayer born In New York City, says he wants more money to play first bnsc than he wou' ' ask for playing the out field, l'.o says the work of a first sacker is much more strenuous than tlat of an outfielder and might shorten his career.

Unusual Accidents Cause Of Many Injuries in Past Year Hartford, Conn. Claim exam iners of the Aetna Life Insur ance Company report that 1945 was no exception in bringing the annual crop of unusual acci dents. In one case, a chicken almost ate a housewife. Shopping for dinner In a poultry store, the housewife fixed her eye on a particularly tasty - looking bird at Just about the same time the bird fixed a beady eye on her as something good to eat, too. As the storekeeper lifted it from the coop, the bird escaped and so viciously attacked the woman that she had to have' a doctor treat her pecked and clawed leg. Pencil In Chest In another case, a returned alumnus, who was a lover of football, decided to give the high school coach a hand with the team. "This is how to do it, boys," he called out as he dove at a tackling dummy, completely forgetting a metal pencil in his shirt pocket. Patching up the puncture in his chest was a job for the doctor, too. Two other "hero's how to do It' accidents were also reported. In the first, a man showing his eight-year-old daughter how to walk on stilts, slipped and se verely injured his chest. In the second, an ice dealer showing a new employee how to handle large chunks of ice, dropped a sizable block on his own toes. Hurt In Chair One woman was injured while she was doing nothing more strenuous than silting in a chair, watching some young people Jitterbug. Wilder and madder grew the whirlings and the spin ning and hopping and the jump ing of the dance until one couple, completely carried away, tum bled into the woman's chair and sent her sprawling. . 'Big game hunting in the home proved hazardous, too. One housewife launched a mighty kick at a roach and i fractured her foot; while another house wife, .nirsulng a moth with zeal and zest, tumbled over a rug and broke her leg. A young lad, seeing a fly about to Invade his mothers ear, hit her with a mighty cuff with a fly-swatter. She needed a doctor's care. Good Salesmanship An insurance agent, bending evcrv effort to make a sale. pointed out to a skeptical client that someone might fall on his premises and bring suit for dam ages. As he said this, the agent accidentally (he swears this) fell over an iron pipe and fractured two ribs. P. S. The client bought the policies.
