You think you knew every thing that's a remark some of the customers toss at me occas ionally. 1 always reply: "I don t think I know everything, only nearly everything." But, of course, I am only kidding. Still if I keep at this Job a few years longer 1 mav really know nearly everything. Not because of my own efforts, but because of the remarkably well informed clien tele of this department. Recently I had an item about the problem of some people with "difficult feet," that is, unusually shaped feet, getting shoes to fit them. Now f am learning all about this problem from experts on the sub ject. I will pass on some of their helpful hints in an early issue with a view toward helping some subscriber do away with the curse of aching feet. Asides During World War II. In 1942, there was issued In Germany a postage stamp bearing the pic tures of Hitler, the King of Italy and the Emperor of Japan. That stamp should certainly be a col lector's item now . . . The best criminal lawyers are those who are Irish or of Irish descent, so I note it claimed. On that I must check. Anyway Jerry Geisler of Los Angeles, probably America's cleverest criminal lawyer, is not of Irish descent. Nor is Samuel Leibowitz. But Bill Fallon, "The reat Mouthpiece," was. Briefly Olivia de Haviland once had secretary named Letitia Brace- ginlie . . . hir William jurinrx of Toronto, rend without glasses at the age of t)6. Nat Vickers of New York city, played 18 holes of golf when 85. There was an Irish sportsman who rode in a steeplechase race when 88, but I can't remember his name. Asking Queries from clients. Q. So, "As You Like It," starring Katie Hepburn, is to close shortly. I saw Katie act In It. She has beau tiful legs. What is the longest run on Broadway for a Shakes pearian play? A. Your query baffles me. It might have been "Hamlet" with Maurice Evans. Q. What was Eva Tanguay's slo- fan when she was in vaudeville? claim it was the "I Don't Care Girl." Bight? A. Eva's first vaudeville slogan was "The Cy clonic Comedienne." After she popularized the song, "I Don't Care," it was changed to the "I Don't Care Girl."

So states a feminine expert on life among the married. Women always criticize their own sex too severely. The estimate aforemen tioned seems an exaggeration. Probably only 75 per cent of the bitter matrimonial quarrels are started by the wife. Other Matters Another great man who would never have been born had his parents practiced birth control is Joe DiMaggio. Joe was the eighth child of his parents . . . How right the man was who said: "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity." Put those words on a sign and hang it up in your son's room. In your daughter's, too. Every girl should be pre pared for the time when she seeks a career or a husband, or both. Sixty cents of every dollar you spend for tobacco (cigar, cigar ettes or pipe) goes to the tax col lectors ... As for tall 'girls who married short men; there was the mother of John L. Sul livan. She was five feet, ten inches tall, her husband, five feet, three. It is said the great John L. inherited his strength from his mother and his fighting spirit from his father . . . The modern world's record for num ber of times married by a woman is held by Janina Demska of Warsaw. Janina has been mar ried sixteen times. She had seven sons before she had a daughter. So states a Cali fornian. Originally, she had planned to have only two chil dren; a son and a daughter. But she was determined to have a daughter. So, now she has eight children instead of two. But she says she has no regrets. Medford Hotel Man lo Take Vancouver Post R.

Letter From Washington By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Mtrnbar of Congress From Oregon In spite of the economy efforts made by our side of the aisle the huge omnibus appropriations bill was passed by the house with comparatively little reduction. Amendments increasing appro priation amounts totaled some S449 millions. Most of the in crease was for additional air de fense. Had it not been for the repub lican amendment offered by Congressman Taber, which cut the total by SfiOO millions, the bill would actually have ended up with an increase of nearly half a billion. In view of the na tional need of financial retrench ment, the general spending atti tude of the present nouse ma jority is incredible. House passage of the bill is the first major legislative step. The senate will review the rftnise version and make numerous amendments. A conference of house and senate appropriations committee members will then make a final draft which will be submitted to both houses for ap proval. I have made up my mind that unless the final version in cludes the two major reduction amendments we passed, or repre sents a decided reduction in total amount arrived at in some other way. I cannot vote for final ap proval of the conference report. I We can better afford to take the time necessary to write another bill it this one is rejected, than to pass a bill which increases our federal spending. m THE SECRETARY of com merce in a recent report on im ports from communist Russia dis closed the following: In 1938 the United States imported 32 carats of diamonds, cut but not set. . valued at $5,000. In 1940-47-48 and '49 the United Stales im ported 34..:)76 carats of cut but unset diamonds valued at S3t 234,000. The report didn't say where Russia got them. IT IS RELIABLY reported that Argentina is negotiating for a loan of $125 million of taxpayers' money. The export-import bank is said to be involved in the ne gotiation.

The Leron Argentine government is reluctant to let go of that amount of dollars to per mit its businessmen to square things with the United States so the request for a loan.
