Pennsylvania Town Would Be Capital Case of Emergency
Perryopolis, Pa, (U.F9 This
little Pennsylvania town is ready
to become the nation's "emer
gency" capital if the H-bomb
ever forces government leaders
to leave Washington.
In the event of an A-bomb or
H-bomb attack on the District of
Columbia, the 1,000 residents
of Perryopolis have made a
standing invitation to the gov
ernment to "move In with us."
They still believe that George
Washington, founder of the town,
was right when he called Perry
opolis (then known as New Bos
ton) the Ideal place for a capital
city.
Surveyed Town
Washington helped survey and
plan the building of the town,
bought a tract near the center
of the village and arranged for
11 streets to lead into It, as
they do today.
Some congressional, military
and business leaders have urged
that government offices be dis
persed from their present con
centration in Washington. They
argue that an A-bomb or H-bomb
attack would paralyze govern
ment functions.
One of Perryopolis' older fam
ilies has records kept through
the years which reveal that
Washington wanted to establish
the nation's capital farther in
land than the present site on
the Potomac river.
The old family diary said
Washington was ready to estab
lish the capital at Perryopolis
or some other suitable site in
Fayette county when the col
onies defeated the British.

The starting salary of a New
York City school teacher is $2,
500 a year. Seems much less
than enough. Did I ever tell you
I was a school teacher for a cou
ple of years? 1 did all right fi
nancially at it, too. But that is
because I was also an athletic
coach. It was at prep schools in
Virginia and California. In addi
tion to my salary, I received full
living expenses. Had a vacation
at Easter, another at Christmas
and two and a half months in
the summer. Pretty soft, what?
Yep, I gave it up. Had a chance
to get into the newspaper busi
ness. I liked that better.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. You
say the majority of film stars
women have gone wild about
were or are less than six feet
tall. Name a few of these under
sized heart-throbs for a red
haired subscriber who likes her
men tall and terrific; around six
feet two. A. Some Hollywood
heart-throbs under six feet in
height who deeply stirred the
hearts of millions of females
were Franvis X. Bushman, Ru
dolph Valentino, John Gilbert,
Charles Boyer and Clark Gable.
Passing. By
Lewis Moore, concert pianist
from Texas. There have been
many beautiful actresses and
musical comedy stars from Texas
who have achieved success in
New York, but Mr. Moore is
first concert pianist from the
Lone Star state who has made
a hit in the Big Town. That is,
if my memory serves me right.
Or do I lose another stogie? . . .
Polly Burson. Comely young
woman engaged in the highly
hazardous occupation of Holly
wood stunt girl. Polly gets $75 a
day for ordinary stunts but
much more for difficult ones. As
for example, she was paid $300
for falling down a stairway as a
double for Barbara Stanwyck.
Sidelights
It was Josh Billings who said:
"Marrying for love may be a lit

God cannot help but smile at It."

dren you have a better chance of
raising a genius than if you had
a large family. I question that.
I could fill this column with
names of men and women of

of large families.
Other Matters
Mary Pickford appeared in
her first film over 40 years ago.
It was titled "The Violin Maker
of Cremona" and was a one reel
Biograph picture released July
7, 1909. ... In 1003 a passage
from Europe to the United States
could be bought for ten dollars
in the steerage class. In that
year 857,048 immigrants from
Europe were admitted to the
United States.
"The five essentials of happi
ness," a very wise man observed,
"are health, freedom, economic
independence, congenial work
and recriprocated love. And the
most important of these is the
last." To settle an argument be
tween a couple of Philadelphians
it is hereby stated it was in a
play titled "Sunday" that Ethel
Barrymore spoke the line:
"That's all there is, there isn't
any more." ... As you pore over
your racing form these days
don't forget the old racetrack
saying: "Never bet on a mare in
the spring."
Collector's Item
As youngsters Georgie Jessel,
Walter Winchell and Georgie
Price were members of Gus Ed
wards' Song Revue company
You knew that, no doubt. Well,
anyhow, a San Franciscan tells
me he has seen a copy of a piece
of sheet music of Gus Edwards'
song "If I Was a Millionaire,"
and that on the cover are the
pictures of Masters Jessel, Win
chell and Price. A copy of sheet
music like that should certainly
be a collector's item.
"A stocking manufacturer
stated that Margaret Whiting
had the most nearly perfect legs
in the Hollywood film colony,"
writes a Brooklynite. "I have
an aunt 53 years old who I think
has better looking legs than Miss
Whiting. Margaret's leg meas
urements are: Thigh, nineteen
and a half inches: calf, twelve
inches: ankle, eight and one half
inche. My aunt's leg measure
ments are Thigh, ninteen inches;
calf, twelve inches: ankle seven
and one half inches.
Plaasa Not
There are many freighters sail
ing the seven seas that have no
doctor aboard. The question
arises, what is done when a crew
member becomes seriously ill in
mid-ocean? On some ships prac
tically nothing can be done. But
the Italian ships, as well as some
French and English ships, get in
touch by radio with the famous
Doctor Guida In his office in
Rome. The captain of the ship
describes the sick man's symp
toms via radio. Doctor Guida or
his associates name the reme
dies. By this method Doctor
Guida has effected some remark
able cures from his office in
Rome on men on ships as far as
4,000 miles away.

A sit-down strike for a better
grade failed to gain results for

Pakistan at Oregon State college.
Din, a senior in science, was
disgruntled when Dr. W. E. Milne

after a recent quiz. Din went to
the professor's office to protest.
Failing to get a higher mark, he
announced his intention of sit
ting in the office until the mark

After nearly three hours of
sitting. Din decided Dr. Milne

changes in his grade and he left
the office.
