There are about ten other venei, all boosting the petite girla to the iky.) Several years ago an Inter viewer had me on the air and one of the questions he tossed a me was: "What is America! most interesting city?" I said "Chicago." That is still my story Therefore, I was much interest ed in the lively, hiehlv Jnforma tive book of inside stuff titled "Chicago Confidential," by Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer. This is some brilliant reporting by couple of newspapermen who really know their stuff. Don't miss it. Especially if you live in Chicago or are iiguring un visa ing there soon. Claca.Jh Husband What are the Qualifications of a Class-A husband? That bril liant newspaperwoman, Baird Leonard, once stated the quali fications she deemed necessary in a Grade-A spouse. Some of these qualifications were: 1. tie sleeps with his mouth closed. 2. After he takes his tub the bath room doesn't look as if the water main had burst. 3. He likes to wear evening clothes. 4. He likes all his wile s menus, a. his pri vate secretary is a man. 6. When he goes some place by himself he remembers what all the wom en present wore. 7. He never tells his wile a age. Asking. Queries from clients. Q. Al though the dog is frequently mentioned in the Bible, and the cat is not mentioned at all, you seem to have overlooked the fact there is nothing said in praise of the dog. A. The grey hound is praised In the Bible. See Proverbs, 30:31. Q. In "Comln' Thru the Rye" does the poet refer to a walk through a cornfield or crossing a river? A. Refers to crossing River Rye, northwest Ayrcshire, Scotland. Q. Are you familiar with a song titled "Ida, the Wayward Stur geon"? A. Dwlght Flske wrotu that song some years ago.

Please Note. See it stated Samson and JJell- lah is "the best short story in the Bible." That 1 question. 1 would sav the six best short stor ies in the Bible in order named are 1. The Prodigal Son. 2. Jo seph and his Brethren. 3. Sam son and Delilah. 4. Jonah and the Whnle. 5. The Good Samar itan. 6. David and Goliath, Favorite Actors. Three of my favorite actors are now In the same stage play. I am referring to Henry Fontia. William Harrigan and Henry Hull, nil featured In "Mr. Rob erts." I could go see that show a couple of times a week and never get tired of It. As you will recall, Henry Hull created the role of Jeeter Lester In "Tobac co Road." Of Henry's portrayal of Jeeter Lester, that great drama critic, Percy Hammond, said: "It is the greatest perform ance 1 have seen in forty years of playgoing." Sidelights. A 08 year old New Englander attributes his long life to adher ence to the "four browns" diet, e.g. whole wheat bread, baked beans, brown eggs and brown sugar . . . When Edsel Ford was born, his father. Henrv Ford was a $15 a week mechanic working for the Detroit Edison company. . . . Maine is the only state in the Union where pois onous snakes are not found. Most deadly snake in the country is tne texas rattlesnake. Presents. The Chinese are the world': greatest givers of presents. In 1806 when Alice Roosevelt mar ried Nicholas Longworth the dowager Empress of China gave her as wedding presents: eight rolls of brocade, two rings, a pair of earrings, some white jade, a white fox coat and an ermine coat. At the same time all the King of England gave Alice for a wedding present was a snuff box. Kaiser Wilhelm gave her a bracelet set with a minia ture of himself.
