terday. The skipper of one told
ma about a six week trip to Eu

He had it all figured out on an
economical basis. He plans to
hire a small car over there to do
his traveling in. The other taxi
driver was a fishing enthusiast.
He spends his days off on a
Sheepshead Bay fishing boat.
This taxi driver also was high in
his praise of his wife's cooking.
"She's the best cook in the city."
said he. "There's no doubt about
it. I hope he tells her that.
Sidelights
Let's dispose of the question
as to who was the shortest WAC
in the recent war. Willa Olivalo,
of San Francisco, in the WACS
for two years, says her height is
four feet, ten inches. Any chal
lengers? Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Do
you remember the vaudeville act
of Raymond and Caverly? A.
Very well. They were German
dialetc comedians. Q. I claim all
these clubs for tall young peo
ple are for both men and women.
My friend claims there are some
for tall girls only. A. Your
friend is right. As for example,
the Chicago Tall Girls Club is
for females only. This club not
only conducts social affairs, but
members exchange views on the
problems of lengthy young
ladies, Including where they can
find clothes, shoes ana stocKings
to fit them.
Hones & Women
Many women who are now not
so good looking would be raving
beauties if the shape of their
noses could be altered, lallulah
Bankhead had her nose length'
ened at the suggestion of Augus
tin St. John, British portrait
painter, who said that by so do
ing her face would have more
symmetry.
Counting
How long would it take to
count up to a million, counting
eight hours a day? That's what
a Brooklynite asks. Depends up
on speed of the counter. rasi
man might do it In eight days.
There s something for tnat Mil
waukee checker-upper to go to
work on. The questioner is just
referring to counting up to a
million. I don't know how long
it would take a bank clerk to
count a million silver dollars.

LEAVES 178 SURVIVORS
Tacoma, Wash. (U.R) When
Mrs. Lieuerler Brock, 90, died
she left 178 survivors. Included
were three sons, three daughters,
46 grandchildren, ill great
grandchildren and 15 great-

rected "The Sands of Iwo Jima."
Incidentally. Mr. Dwan is an
astute student of the comparative
peed of thoroughbred horses. In
brief, a clever handicapper. But
that's another story.
Check
As to astrology, let's check.
For example, Eleanor Roosevelt
is a Libra (Sept. za-uet. zz). me
itargazers say Libras are witty,
amusing and good conversation-
lists. Also that they are inter
ested in being famous and love to
be in the public eye. That they
are strong-willed and want to
dominate their households. Also,
thut they strongly dislike house
keeping. How do you think that
checks with the character of
Eleanor Roosevelt or any Libra
woman you know?
Briefly
Referring to a woman who has
had five sets of twins, a Boston-
ian wants to know if it's a
w o r 1 d's record. It isn't. Mrs.
Lydia Fifield, of East Thompson,
Conn., has given birth to seven
sets of twins. That s the world s
record. . . . Has your wife a trim
ankle? If so, that's good. Besides
being an aid to appearance, a
trim ankle is said to be a sign
of a healthy heart.
Please Note
A recent dispatch reported
Jim Cagncy, the actor, slightly
injured himself while trying to
shoot a coyote near his Cold-
water Canyon home in Beverly
Hills. Jim's house is about four
miles from the Beverly Hills
business section. Several years
ago a Los Angeles taxi driver
itold me his cab had been blocked

All Oregonians
Have Stake in
Tourist Industry
(This is the fourth in a series
of five articles prepared by
prominent Oregon newspaper
men giving background infor
mation on the tourist industry
in Oregon. Some SI 10 million
was brought into the state
last year by visitors from other
states and countries, and this
week has been designated as
"Tourist Host week" by Gov.
Douglas McKay. It has been
pointed out that ail residents
of the state benefit from the
industry, and that citiiens who
are informed regarding the
scenic beauties and history of
the state will have an advan
tage in dealing with tourists.

A family who first visited Ore
gon as tourists spent $500 last
year when, returning as Oregon
residents, they had their teeth
repaired by a dentist in a coastal
city. The dentist is an enthusias
tic supporter of his area's tour
ist promotion committee today.
Income Up 5 Times
When one Oregon community
"went out after" tourist business,
its income was increased five
fold. The most spectacular busi
ness gains were registered in the
beauty parlors where the ladies
(bless 'em) tidied up after a hard
day's fishing.
As a shoe retailer puts it, "I
don't sell many shoes to tour
ists, but I sell plenty of them to
other people whose incomes de
pend on tourists."
Money spent in our state by
visitors is live, dynamic money.
It circulates through our chan
nels of trade and changes hands
many times over. It is a stimu
lant to business throughout our
economic life as it helps each
to buy from the other.
Aids Whole Economy
When, last year, our visitors
left in Oregon more than $63
for every person in the state, it
meant more income from our
people to buy suits, cosmetics,
operations, food, insurance, lum
ber, commodities and services of
all kinds.
Our governor, during this
Tourist Host week, calls upon us
to be better tourist hosts. He is
really asking us to help ourselvef
by doing a better selling job to
our visitors. It is obvious that
they will spend more time and
money with us if they stay longer
in our state; it is equally appar
ent that they will stay longer if
they are made to fell welcome.
Everyone in Oregon has a
stake in our tourist industry. Be
ing a good host means extra in
come, besides bringing the satis
faction of helping our visitors ap
preciate the beauty and friendli
ness of our state.
