A Nichols' Worth of
Comment On
By HARMAN
United Press
Washington, Apr. 7 (U.R)
Men, if you have a helpmate who
blows her marcel when you
sneak in late
and further ir
ritates you by
her pink things
in the oatn
room to dry
don t get sore!
Ladies, if you
have a man
who dribbles
his ashes on
the carpet and
wont pick up
his underwear
don't get sore!
We have the
word of a girl
a study of the
Barman Nichols
who has made
'perfect mate" situation and has
come to the conclusion there is
no such thing.
She is dark-haired, pretty,
dynamic Betty Cashman, an ac
tor's and personality coach on
New York's Broadway.
At Betty looks at it, it's a good
tiling that no mate is perfect.
"It would be awful,'' she said.
"Being married to a person who
was perfect would be well, in
sufferable. We'de either be borud
stiff or find ourselves spending
all our time beating off com-
peitors for their affections."
Betty is the author of a per
sonality development book colled
"You in Personality and Acting."
Observations Unconfined .
She does not or didn't when
I talked with her confine her
observations to the little guy
who marches down the aisle
with nothing more than half a
month's rent in his jeans.
Mot even celebrities, she said,
can be rated tops' in more than
a few attributes.
Take women, quoting Betty.
To approach perfection, the
perfect woman would have to
wear the figure of Marie Mc
Donald, the intensity of Bctte
Davis, the piquancy of Mary
Martin, the wit of Dorothy Park
er, the intellect of Clare Boothe
Luce, the projection of lallu-
lah Bankhead, the sheer "fe
maleness" of Hedy Lamarr and
the lovely mysteriousness of
Vivian Leigh.
All put together if that were
possible we'd have a female
H-bomb (statment by Nichols).
Take men, again quoting Bet
ty.
The Perfect Man
The perfect man ought to
hang on his frame the physique
of Mr. America, the magnetism
of Cary Grant, the glib tongue of
Groucho Marx, the personal
case of Arthur Grodfrey, the he
manness of Clark Gable, the wis
dom of Bernard Baruch, the busi
ness acumen of Billy Rose, and
the sex appeal of Tyrone Power.
No man has it (statment by
Nichols).
"It would take quite a lassy
to hold onto a man like that,"
Betty said.
But she has arrived at some
(BE

thing resembling a formula to
follow in the search for a mate
however imperfect.
"Select one for the basic qual
ity that seems closest to or most
lacking in your own personal
ity," Betty said, "and then let
said mate relax and be himself
or herself.
Both Have More
"Actually, every woman has
more of the quality of which La
marrs are made than she sus
pects. And every man has a lit
tle more of the Gable in him
than he knows. Everybody has
personality."
As for Betty Cashman herself.
She's still single. She's too
busy trying to smoke out the
personality in others. Or maybe
she's seen too much of other
personalities. '
Phoenix Scout Troop
Jamboree Saturday
Phoenix, Apr. 7 Plans have
been completed for the Boy
scout jamboree and carnival to
be held Saturday, April 8, in the
Phoenix grade school gymnas
ium from 7:30 to II p.m. This
event is being sponsored by the
Phoenix Lions' club and Scout
Troop 15 for the purpose of rais
ing funds to send a delegate to
the Scout Jamboree to be held at
Valley Forge. Pa., in June.
The scout has already been
chosen by his troop and will be
introduced Saturday night.
Plans for the carnival include
many booths and fun-making
stunts, and an auction to be con
ducted by Col. A. H. Dudley,
One of the features will be the
refreshment booth.
It is stated that fun for every
one is being planned, and the
cooperation of the community is
invited.
Leaders point out that this
event is not to be confused with
the "Scouting Adventure" expo
sition to be staged in the Med-
ford armory April 15.
Cold Drives Truman
Into Hibernation
Key West. Fla.. Apr. 7 (U.R)
It was so cold at the winter
White House today that the
cocoanuts and President Truman
went into hibernation.
Asked for comment on the
sudden plunge of the thermo
meter into the fifties, the presi
dent peered from behind two
navy blankets and said or-r-r.
The temperature last night
droDDed to the middle fifties,
the coolness accentuated by a 26
knot wind howling in from the
Gulf of Mexico.
The president lay aside his
swimmine trunks and got into
sensible woolens. Houseboys
kindled a fire.

DIVORCE ON AGAIN for being a good "egg" and because her
birthday falls three days short of Easter, Actress Betty Davis was
given this "barnyard Oscar" during a party given in her honor on
the Hollywood R. K. O. set of "The Story of a Divorce." Miss Davis
has decided to go ahead with her divorce from her husband, William
Grant Sherry, after he muscled in on the party.

I MMIIIIIIIIIIIIIiaiMMHItOII
Saw Fannie Ward in Palm
Beach today. In newspaper items
iier first name is often spelled
"Fanny," but Fannie is correct.
However, Fanny is correct for
the first name of Fanny Brice.
Fannie Ward's age is often the
subject of discussion. The discus
sion, of course, is inspired by
Fannie's ever-youthful appear
ance. She was born in St. Louis,
Mo., on February 22, 1872. She
.nade her first stage appearance
in New York in 1890. She be
gan appearing in films in 1913.
Her greatest film was the one
titled "The Cheat," in which her
leading man was Sessue Hayaka
wa. Fannie has been married to
her present husband, Jack Dean,
about 35 years.
Sidelights
Am informed that after 26
years of marriage a Detroit ma
tron is expecting her first blessed
event in June. Imagine a woman
having her first child a year after
.ier silver wedding. I doubt even
Brooklyn can top that.
Horses St Women
Who was it said: "The world
is full of women and the women
are full of wile"? Anyway, a
feminine subscriber claims the
reason so many infants say
"Papa" before they do "Mama
is that they are secretly taught
to do so by their mothers. Hie
idea being that the father will
be so pleased because of this it
will be easy to get him to help
iake care of the baby. That as a
result of the infant saying "Pa
pa" first the proud father will
cheerfully walk the floor with
the child, do long stretches of
oaby sitting without complaint
and gladly take the infant out
.ii the baby carriage. This will
give the mother a good chance
to rest. "Just another one of the
many cases of women outsmart
ng the men," says my Informant.
Those Dimes
It was at Ormond Beach, Fla.,
John Rockefeller began his cus
tom of handing shiny new dimes
to young people, accompanied by
a brief lecture on practicing
thrift as an aid to achieving a
fortune. Rockefeller played golf
regularly at Ormond Beach until
he was 89 years old. When a lit
tle younger he rode a bicycle
trom stroke to stroke followed
bv two valets. One valet carfied
the golf clubs and the other car
ried crackers and milk and a
blanket to be spread on the
ground when Mr. Rockefeller
wanted to rest. If Mr. Rockefel
ler sliced a ball Into the brush
causing it to be lost he wouldn't
jive up looking for it for at least
uilf an hour.

low like that? A. Our experts
ay this man probably loves you
jut doesn't know it. They say all
lie needs is a little warming up.
They suggest that when you kiss
him good night that you put on

he speaks of your making a good

it is a good sign. That such a
nan can easily be developed into
a grade A husband by a smart
girl.
Serious Case
Calling all phonograph record
collectors and experts! I have a
serious matter in which your as
sistance is needed. It seems the
husband of a Californian had an
ancient recording by the Boston
Pops of a number titled "Espen
arlem." She accidentally sat on
this pet record of her husband
and broke it. Now she is in the
doghouse and will not be able to
get out until she gets her spouse
another copy of this record. She
has tried everywhere in her sec
tion with no success. Can any-
ooay among the clientele help
his poor woman out of her ter
rible predicament by advising
ier where she can get a copy of
the aforementioned record?
Please Note
On both ends of the steel
bridge crossing the Suwannee
river near Oldtown, Fla., are
overhead inscriptions reading
"Way down upon the Suwanee
river." it is generally believed
Stephen Foster, composer of the
song, never saw the Suwannee
river but took th ename from a
nap. However, some Florida
historians insist Foster visited
Columbus, Fla., a town in
Suwannee county, a year before
the song was published.
Flying Disk Sighted
Winging Over Salem
Salem. Ore.. Apr. 7 (U.F)
Master Sgt. Edward N. Snider,
who has been In the army 17
years and is familiar with air
craft, said today he saw a "fly
ing disk" over Salem at 4:15 p.m.
Thursday.
Sergeant Snider said: "I was
driving west on State street
when I saw it. Two lads in a
topless model "T" Ford were
parked in the middle of the in
tersection at about 15th street
staring at the sky.
"I stopped, too, and looked up.
It appeared to be a large bright
silver flat-shaped craft. It was
moving south and suddenly gain
ed altitude and disappeared.
We watched It for about a min
ute. Those boys could verify my
story. The object seemed to be
about over the airport when I
saw it."
Officials at McNarv field, in
cluding the tower. United Air
Lines and the weather bureau,
said they had seen no such ob
led. The weather bureau added
it had not put up any balloons
at that time.
