She doesn't her to come right out and say, "I lov you," immediately, but shs can convey th thought by words and action in other ways. On this most experts on male psychology are agreed. So are this department's Mules & Men experts.) One of my boyhood ambitions not yet realized is to ride from Euston Station, London, to Glas gow on the Royal Scot. There fore, I was much interested in an article in the May issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine dealing with this world famous train. The Royal Scot has the world's longest scheduled non-stop run, the 401 miles between London and Glasgow. It has been leaving Euston Station, London, every morning at 10 for over a cen tury. Marriage Bureaus There are quite a few mar riage bureaus and "introduction clubs" in New York. Business is not so good for them right now. Some have employed high-powered outside representatives who call on single girls at their offices or homes with offers to find them high-grade husbands for a small registration fee plus a larger payment after the wed ding has taken place. Touring Returned traveler says while In England he hired for touring purposes a six passenger lim ousine with a chauffeur to drive it for a flat rate of the equiva lent of 21 cents a mile. No other charges. Seems quite a reason able rate to travel in such style. Don't know of any automobile renting outfit here offering a flat mileage rate for that type of touring. They usually charge by day, week, or month with a mile age limit. Asking Queries from clients. Q Could a real jackrabbit beat a greyhound in a race? A The majority of jackrabbits could, but between some greyhounds and some jackrabbits a dead heat might develop. The speed of a jackrabbit varies from forty to forty-five miles an hour. That of greyhounds from thirty-five to fortymiles an hour. Speaking of animal speed, did you know a lion can run as fast as a thor oughbred racehorse? Q In 1923 at a Toledo, Ohio, dance hall Howard W. Roth played the pi ano for twenty-nine hours con tinuously. Is that a world's rec ord for non-stop piano playing? A Couldn't say. I regret we have no non-stop piano playing records in our files. However, it seems to me I heard of a man in England who played the piano for a longer time than you mention. Perhaps some of our London clients will recall this man's feat. . Horses at Women The young women who have been so blessed by nature that they have no need for that ar ticle of attire known as "gay deceivers" or "falsies" are re ported somewhat bitter about the situation that has developed since these artificial aids to the feminine figure have become so generally adopted. A New York "Oomph Girl" informs me she is starting a campaign for the wearing of low cut gowns and bathing suits by girls naturally blessed with figure rotundity. "This at least," says she, "will do away with young women of this type being continually sus pected of wearing falsies." Suggestion There snould be invented a gadget that will shut off a tele phone after three rings, fol lowed by a recorded voice which says: "Nobody home. Do you care to leave a message." If the caller desires to leave a message a recording device on the phone should be there to take care of it. This gadget would not only be a nice thing to have in the absence of the person called. It would be a great assistance in dodging calls not wanted. I mean calls from solicitors, bores, per sons extending invitations dif ficult to find an excuse to re fuse on the spur of the moment. And so on. A billion dollar idea, what? Think it over. How many times today has somebody reached you on the phone with inconsequential messages? .... AROUND HOLLYWOOD Sunday, May 14. 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE 'Acme Telephatoi RAPS BUDENZ Owen Lattimore (above), testifying in Washington before the Senate foreign relations subcommittee Investigating com muntsm in the State Department, charged that ex-Co mmunist Louis P. Budenz Is a "paid informer and unscrupulous finger man" who brought charges of communism against him for personal gain. Object Lesson For Juveniles Teaches Them About Danger Elyria, O. (U.R)-Gasps and white faces marked the newest approach to safety education for some 80 students of Oberlin high school near here. Trying a "shock" treatment where lectures had failed, the students were shown the shat tered wreckage of a 1941 sedan, on the iaeeed metal of which ! twn nprsnns riiprl. Six others went to the hospital. The crash on a dry road in good weather which caused the deaths apparently resulted from one of the newer juvenile death thrill road games. The young sters call it playing "chicken." Sheriff Carl Finegan and an Oberlin patrolman, Ray Warren, did not disclose all their investi gation had shown. It is known, however, that one of the injured girls in the car said the pupils were playing "chicken" just be fore the crash. Tragedy at End Whatever it was they were playing, it ended in a terrific crash and spilt blood, broken glass and death for 17-year-old Marvin Bittner and Jean Marie Presnell, three-month-old daugh ter of Donald and Viola Presnell. The pupils from Oberlin view ed the heap of metal and glass and winced when they learned their schoolmates had been play ing "chicken." They knew the rules of the game. The rules? A nervy driver turns out his lights and speeds down the highway toward an approaching car. The first per son in the car who loses his nerve and demands that the car be pulled over and the lights put on is called "chicken." It's an easy game to play. It is a hard but almost certain way to die. I VIRGINIA Unit1 Pre! Hollywood, May 13 (U.P.) Every time Bing Crosby makes headlines, his brother Bob said today, he gets a new title himself. "For years," the younger ' C r o 5 by grin ned, "I was 'B i n g's kid brother.' Now, with his kids turning croon er, too, 'I'm Gary's uncle.' " And if Bing and Dixie are having family squabbles which they say they aren't his next Vtrftai amacrhi Rogue River 2 Rogue Men Aboard Same Navy Submarine Two southern Oregon men are serving aboard the same navy suDmanne a Saturday navy press release said. They are on the USS Baya, one of several undersea craft used in daily operations in southern Califor nia waters for training the navy's anti-submarine units. The men are Clifford M. Graves, fireman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford M. Graves. Cen tral Point, and Paul K. Schaefer. navy seaman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schaefer, Grants Pass. Air and surface elements of the Pacific fleet track down the submarine during these exerci ses to improve their defense techniques against modern undersea vessels. Rogue River The meeting of the Rogue River Hobby club at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kasworm Tuesday afternoon was an unusual affair. Members, modeling rich cos tumes of the "gay nineties" and of the later 1920 s, gathered in the living room where they posed for photographs among the many rare antiques of the Kas worm home. Mrs. Ralph Tison, in a Paris creation of lavender panne vel vet, was voted "the best dressed woman in America." The dress she wore was one of her mothers wardrobe. It was trimmed with bands of mink and a lavender chiffon yoke with a high lace collar, fashionably boned, en riched the costume. Mrs. W. A. White wore a sweeping skirt of soft grey broadcloth, with a waist of black lace and beaded marquisette. Her parasol was adorned with row upon row of embroidery, the whole mounted on a gold headed staff. It was a costume which had graced the streets of Chicago before the fire. The costume worn by Mrs. Carl Christenson came from Norway. It was of black and white embossed silk, with a matching cape and bag of rich black velvet which had belonged to her mother. Over all was worn a soft black silk apron with exquisite lace insertion, hand made 'by Christina Noss, sister of Carl Christenson. A hat of the Gibson girl era added to the grace and dignity of the costume. Another street costume was worn by Mrs. Jim Whipple, It was an ensemble of heavy black silk worn with white accessories and the straight line coat was of finger tip length.. White silk hose and high top laced shoes and a white parasol completed the costume. A touch of humor was fur nished by the costume of Mrs. Phil Strahan who wore her wed ding dress as an apron with a Dlacard reading, "The March of Time." Her dress was made of French voile, ruffled with bands of self material. It is a size 12, though she maintained she was 18 years of age when she mar ried. Mrs. Will Trotter's dress pro vided an interesting contrast to the elaborate costumes displayed. She wore a silk pongee dress of severe straight lines of a style worn In 1920. Mrs. Grant Powell, dressed in finery borrowed from grand mother, Mrs. Joe Perry of Sams Valley, typified the well dressed pioneer mother of America. She wore a tailored black and white print dress with a white apron of cross barred mull trimmed with wide handknit lace. The apron was made in 1850. High topped lace shoes were worn with the costume. Mrs. Lang, a special guest of the afternnon. wore a linen dress of the modern casual style, while Mrs. Kasworm. hostess, wore a black and white costume of hand tucked, lace trimmed bat iste which had been given her by Una Mcllvane. ' The club, organized many years ago, is composed of twelve members who each have a dif ferent hobby. A new member is chosen only when a vacancy oc curs. The club meets once a month. MacPHIRSON Correteoaeeat title might be: "Dixie Crosby's ex-brother-in-law." "People are always trying to scrape up a feud between Bing and me," Bub said. "I can't even wear a loud Hawaiian sports shirt without somebody giving me the 'trying to - copy - Bing huh?' routine. "They did it when I cracked the entertainment business. Heck, I turned singer because it paid more'n picking cucumbers. which I had been doing. Even With Golf "Then when I went on the radio, I got it again. Same with movies and records. At' least Bing hasn't recorded 'The Stars and Stripes Forever,' yet. "I couldn't even take up golf without somebody accusing me of latching on to that because Bing plays it." Now he's getting ready to make a series of comedy pictures with Crooner Frankie Laine. And he's bracing himself for the inevitable: "Huh. making like Bing and Bob Hope, hmm?" They had the road pictures. Bob shrugged. "Ours'll be 'the path' movies . . . we have a very limited budget." Goes On and On This feudin' business goes on and on, he says, and has been so long nobody can even re member now where or when it started. "Actually, we're very good friends." Bob explained. "My position with Bing is that of a small boy who walks up to his big brother and says: 'Blow my nose for me. "The big brother hands him a handkerchief and says: 'Blow it yourself.' lhats Bing and me.
