THOMAS MOORE. A group of enthusiastic admir ers of feminine pulchritude has named Patricia Reid to be "The Perfect Woman. They think Patricia is "perfect" because she has plenty of curves and they are all natural. Her figure does not need any artificial build-up anywhere. The measurements of Miss Reid, who is a blue-eyed redhead, are: Bust, thirty-five inches; waist, twenty-three inch es; hips, thirty-four inches. Horses & Women What is the difference, if any, in the temperament, capacity for affection, culinary skill, etc., of a right-handed woman and a left-handed woman? That is a question on which I have asked our Horses & Women experts to do some research. Perhaps they could start by studying the mem bers of the Sakowicz Rockets Bowling Team, of Chicago. This team is made up of five left handed housewives. Aiides "Pee Wee" Reese, of the Dodg ers, and his charming spouse are very happily married. But, of course, they have their little quarrels.

That fits right in to the Brooklyn pic ture where, in families of more than three children, the daugh ters always outnumber the sons. I used to call on a girl in Brook lyn who had eight sisters and one brother . . . Leo Robin. Brilliant and prolific songwriter from Pittsburgh. Leo wrote that song, "Beyond the Blue Horizon," that Jeanette MacDonald sang in the film, "Mone Carlo." He also wrote "Love In Bloom," "Thanks For the Memory," and all the lyrics for the current Broadway musical hit, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Dream Husband Have you a bachelorette daughter? What is her idea of an ideal husband? Recently, in South Africa, a prize was offered bachelorettes for the best de scription of an. ideal or "dream husband." The winner, a 16 year old bachelorette named Jacoba Opperman, said her ideal hus band was "a man who often shows affection for his wife by a quick kiss or passionate hug. One who helps bring up the chil dren, has a joint banking ac count, throws impromptou par ties! bears no grudges and listens to his wife's point of view before making a decision." Asking Queries from clients: Q. What celebrated poet was a great box er? A. I don't know how great a boxer he was, but Lord Byron took boxing lessons from a cele brated professional ringman of the period, named "Gentleman" Jackson. Q. Has there ever been a four horse dead heat? A. Not in this country, but there was a four horse dead heat in a five horse race at Newmarket, Eng land. That happened October 22. 1855. It is very nice of me to give you this information as I had in tended to hold it back to use to win a stogie from Clem Mc Carthy. Briefly XSSOn the J L" Mezzanine I HewfoeMe ) The Canals Of Mars By J. HUGH PRUETT I Astronomer, Extension nlvlslon Oregon Higher EdueaUon System Continuing from last Week when we pointed out that the bright, non-twinkling, reddish object In the eastern sky in the early evening is the planet Mars, we give here the promised dis cussion of the so-called Martian canals. This is a subject on which there is considerable dis agreement among eminent astron omers. Some believe these fine markings are abundant and quite distinct; others perhaps with less acute eyesight have never seen them and declare they are simply "figments of the imagina tion." The clear-eyed Italian astron omer Schiaparelli in 1877 was the first to announce the fine, dark lines which at times seemed to extend in various directions from the planet's surface. Later, the astronomers Douglass, Pick ering, Holden, Campbell and Schaeberle in America, and Per rotin in Europe studied them ex tensively. Some said at times certain canals appeared double like the tracks of a railway. .Went Further The one who really gave prom inence to the canals was Percival Lowell at his observatory near Flagstaff, Ariz. His interpreta tions went further than any others. Favored with clear skies, an elevation of 7,300 feet, a splendid refracting telescope and the most sensitive of eyes, Dr. Lowell expressed his conclu sions as follows: As winter approaches in either hemisphere, the white polar cap is often small or entirely missing. Then sometimes gradually and picked up a piece of French toast and powdered his nose. Then he splashed all five pats of butter in his water glass and took a big swig. Lewis Throws Fork Gus retreated to the kitchen. Lewis threw a fork ut him. Everybody in, Lucey's swank restaurant thought this was hil arious. They jabbed each other in the ribs laughing. Lewis stuck his tongue out at em. When Dean Martin, the sing ing half, waltzed in, Lewis threw a couple of forks at him, too. Then he flipped him with but ter. Martin laughed as loud as anybody. Punch Drunk Routine Then Martin grabbed the lime light and went into his punch drunk fighter routine. That takes about five minutes. By this time Gus had snaked back with a salad, threw it on the table, and dashed for cover He was just in time. Lewis When fins hm.,.,1.1 .: . Lewie ,-: -j ",""6"' ' milK down course. Sunday, March 26, 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN PICK ON ST. PETER Milwaukee tU.R) Louis U. St. Peter has been getting more than his share of annoyance from tele phone cranks. They seem to find his name and address a source of wonder. St. Peter lives on St. Paul Avenue. HE GUESSED RIGHT San Jose, Cal. (U.R) Henry Adler thought his brakes might need adjusting so he drove up to a garage. He was right. The car failed to stop and he smashed right through the doors of the A-l Brake Safety Shop. SPECTACLES COME BACK Wellington, N. Z. (U.R) Three weeks after his wife's spec tacles were swept away by a wave, a husband found them in his fishing net as he was spread ing it out to dry after a day's fishing. iiirnea t ie e n i,ci,i.. and let gravitv tak it- Note it stated there is now a law In England which compels a wife to take the name of her husband. I believe that is also true of the United States, or am I stuck for another stogie? . . . In 1938, 20 per cent of the par ents o f Tottenham, England, named their children after movie stars. Gary and Shirley were the favorite names. Cows Ever milk a cow? I tried once but couldn't make the grade. Dr. Robert Wheldon, British agricul tural expert, says the way the milker sits on the stool has much t odo with urging the cow to give the maximum amount of milk. Doctor Wheldon probably knows what he is talking about, be cause he owns a cow named Diana, which produces 12034 pounds of milk in twenty-four hours. Nerve Test Am informed there Is a "nerve test" which calls for lathering and shaving a balloon. If it can be done without causing the bal loon to burst, it proves the shaver has steady nerves. There is something really interesting for that Milwaukee checker upper to go to work on. at others quite suddenly, large portions of the polar regions turn white. L,aier, tnese Birauuue areas may become quite exten sive. When spring arrives, the edges of this white mantle are the first to disappear, and their place is taken by a sort of misty darken ing or obscuration. It seems that the snow is melting and its place is taken by water, over which hovers very moist air or fog. Lines Lengthen Next, very fine, short lines appear running out from this lake of liquid and in a general direction toward the equator. These lengthen at the rate of 51 miles per day and after several weeks reach the equator. When autumn comes, the lines disap pear and a new set advances from the opposite pole, where it is then spring. Water is scarce on Mars. In telligent inhabitants, said Lowell, have constructed canals to ditch water from the melting polar caps to other parts of the planet. We do not see the actual ditches, but rather the strips of vegeta tion which spring up on both sides of them. The large blue green areas are broad expanses of growing fields. Considerable Work Considerable work was done on Mars in 1939 at the Lowell observatory and in South Africa. Dr. Edison Petlit of Mt. Wilson observed extensively and became a fervent believer in the reality of the fine lines. Dr. H. N. Rus sell of Princeton has recently written: "There is now no doubt re garding the real existence of these finer details, but the draw ings and descriptions of them by different observers are remark ably discordant." Excellent Idea But Didn'l Work For Him Jackson, Miss. IU.R) William Clancy Barbett devised what he thought was n sure-fire scheme for getting his hands on nar cotics. He picked up the telephone, dialed a local physician and said, "This is Narcotics Inspector So- j and So. I m seding a messenger j to your office for a narcotics i prescription. I have someone i here that I'm sending to a nar- i colics hospital. He needs this i prescription to tide him over i until he gets there." : Then Clancy hurried to the doctor's office to pick up the prescription. He next headed for a local drug store, where he got in line I to have the order filled. While ; he was standing there, one of ; the clerks called out to the man ; behind him. "Hello, inspector." ! Clancy dashed for the nearest , exit, but the inspector collared him. His next stop was the city jail. j hP f do5s ll'"d by northern hunters and explorers can carry about 35 pounds, or half their weight.
