A little smile from eyes ot blue:

Who wakes up the bugler?
You would think that would be
a question easily settled among
United States army men. But it
isn't. One veteran says the com
mander of the guard does. An
other says it is the corporal of
the guard. Another veteran, with
a record of 20 years' service in
the regular army, says the cook
wakes up the bugler. The last
named veteran was on Corregi
dor when the Japs took over and
is a survivor of the Bataan Death
March.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. In the
film, "Battleground," there is
only one woman in the cast,
Denise Darcel. Name six other
plays or films with only one
woman in the cast. A. You have
me baffled, sir. All I can name
fulfilling requirements you state
are "What Price Glory?" "One
Hundred Men and a Girl" and
"Mr, Roberts." Q. Wasn't Camille
Clifford, the stage beauty so pop
ular in London for so many
years, an American girl? A. You
should not speak of Camille in
the past tense. She is still
around. She was born in Den
mark but brought to the U. S. A.
as a small child. She made her
debut in 1902 at the Broadway
theater, New York, as a chorus
girl in the musical show "The
Defender." I believe Blanche
Ring was the star of this show.
In 1904 Camille went to London
and introduced a song titled "The
Gibson Girl," became famous
overnight and has been in Eng
land ever since. She married
very well and is well fixed fi
nancially. Interested in the turf,
she recently paid a record price
for a yearling.

Greatest
Regarding the argument as to
who was the greatest all-time
jockey in the history of the
American turf, I am Inclined to
believe It was Carol Shilling
Yes, sir, the same Carol Shilling
who recently died in poverty;
starving, sick and deserted. The
opinion regarding the greatness
of this jockey is not my own. I
never saw him ride. However,
Sam Hildreth, in his autobiog
raphy. "The Spell of the Turf?'

man uaroi sniuing mat state
ment coming from Sam Hildreth
was really something. It was
written after he had spent half
a century on the American turf
and had seen every great Amer

That Flea
Am asked if I am familiar with
a poem concerning "The Marry
Bounding Flea." Certainly am.
This classic was written by the
distinguished actor, Roland
Young. It follows:
Here U the merry bounding flea.

THERE Is a new voice crying
out in the Republican wilder
ness. It Is that of Governor Al
bert Dricoll, of New Jersey. Ad
dressing the 64th Lincoln Day
dinner of the National Republi
can club in New York, he said:
"The Republican party can of
fer STABILITY as well as secur
ity. . . This can be done by taking
full care of those who want and
need government programs and
yet avoiding bigness in govern
ment. . . Americans are now
reaping the harvest of careless
war and postwar promises, of
trifling with communism, of fum
bling with containment and of
SyUANDEKINU UUK ASSM S.
He then added:
"A vital, liberal, progressive
Republican party can promise
the nation something better than
government by expediency.
I FIND that easy to agree with.
a Personam'. I trunk the Repub
lican party should say to the
people:
"Our first job as good Amer
icans is to KEEP OUR NATION
SOLVENT. We must balance our
books. We must quit spending
more than we are taking in. We
must start to pay off our debt.
Having started that, we must
finish H."
With that out of the way, the
Republicans should then say:
"At for sound social benefits
we are FOR ALL OF THEM
THAT CAN BE PAID FOR."
SENATOR Morse, who is a Re
publican but can't be accused
of being a stand-patter, said in
Pendleton the other night:
"Our strongest defense weap

AND WE MUST DO SOME

I AM quoting from the teletype
rerjort of Senator Morse's
Pendleton talk. Because of news
paper space limitations, it Isn't
complete. But I imagine this is
the message that the senator
meant to convey:
"IF WE BANKRUPT OUR
SELVES BY CONTINUED

SHALL BE PLAYING DIRECT

At any rate, that Is the cold
