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."

the cases, bitter matrimonial
quarrels are started by the wife."
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.

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.

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

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 story behind the
loan goes as follows: It appears
that Argentina business houses
owe American businessmen ap
proximately $108 million for
good? purchased in the United
States. 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. The
reports say that the export-import
bank will provide the funds
