"The main reason that we
refer to alcoholism as a dis
ease." says a member of Alco
holics Anonymous, voicing the
same opinion as many other
members have voiced in let-.,
tors writing to me concerning
an article printed in this col
umn, in which I said the alco
holic doesn't HAVE to get
drunk, he merely chooses to
get drunk "is to serve as a
constant reminder to ourselves
that we can never again drink
sensibly or socially."
The main reason why we doc
tors, or some of us at any rate,
refer to alcoholism as self-indulgence
or a bad habit is that the
alcoholic doesn't have to drink
but merely chooses to drink.
Some alcoholics prove this by
deciding to stop drinking and
stopping. More alcoholics do so
by virtue of the courage and in
spiration they get from Alcohol
ics Anonymous, God bless them.
Did you ever hear of an -epileptic
who stopped having seizures
because he decided to have no
more? Or a migraine victim who
stopped having sick headches be
cause he or she decided to have
no more? Or an asthmatic who
stopped having difficulty In
breathing because he decided to
have no more difficulty?
Then there's the change of
life. From the anxious inquiries
I receive, many of them from
women of good education, as ed
ucations go I gather that many
young women look forward to
this so-called "crisis" with mor
bid anticipation. Worse still,
some of the voluble psycholo
gists, psyschosomatologists and
paper neurologists are busily
promoting the concept of the
"male climacteric" a "change
of life" in men that gives the
so-and-so's an alibi or an excuse
for their bad behavior after for
ty, or for being caught at it.
It Is an indisputable fact that
most women experience no dis
turbance of health, comfort, per
sonality, personal appearance or
any other feminine characteristic
at the menopause. They simply
cease to menstruate, and that's
all. Therefore it is Just plain
stupied for a young woman to
approach middle age with any
fear or anxiety about the "cri
sis." Thera isn't any "crisis" If
the woman has had a fair edu
cation. As for the alcoholics who Ilka
to blama their drinking on a
mysterious "disease," they be
long in the same category with
mature men who choose to blame
their misconduct on a myste
rious "change of life." For their
own good, in the long run, we
should let them know that we
are onto them and their trick
psychologists.

Whooping Crane Keeps
Motherhood Secret
Austwcll, Tex., May 27 (U.R)
Josephine, the only female
whooping crane in captivity, to
day kept up the suspense of
whether or not she's a mother.
The activity around the nest
where she and her mate. Crips,
have been warming their pre
cious egg for weeks looks mighty
suspicious, Julian A. Howard,
manager of the Arkansas wild
life refuge here. said.
Howard, keeping a close watch
from a 45-foot observation tow
er, promised an announcement
"would be forthcoming soon."
CARD OF THANKS
Our heartfelt thanks to nil who
extended comforting sympathy and
help tn our recent sorrow. Kor the
henutlful service, floral offering and
other kindnesses, we are deeply grate
ful. The Lowe Family.
Lillian Russell enjoyed a good
cigar. That's what 1 said. A New
Yorker who claims she knew her
well says Lillian never smoked
a cigar in her life. I will call Ar
thur "Bugs" Baer as a witness
in this casci. Lillian once asked
"Bugs" to write some vaudeville
material for her. When Mr. Baer
called upon Lillian to discuss this
material he says she was smok
ing a large cigar and continued
to smoke it during the Interview.
Wives
"As to wives." says a Califor
nia husband, "they can be class
ed as home makers, home mana
gers and house cleaners. A home
maker is a wife who puts the
comfort, peace, quiet and con
tentment above all else. A home
manger is a domestic efficiency
expert. She runs her house like a
business office and has a touch
of the slave driver to her. A
house cleaner is a wife who is al
ways squawking about how
things should be in order. She
drives her husband wild asking
him: Why did you do this? Why
did you do that? Why aren't you
neat like other men? And so on,
far Into the night. A pitiful fig
ure, indeed, is the poor wretch
whose wife is the house cleaner
type."
Passing By
Greer Garson. My favorite film
actress on and off the screen.
She is an unusual combination of
beauty and brains. When 16
years of age she was tutoring stu
dents of Cambridge university
to help them pass their examina
tions. She was later awarded a
scholarship by the University of
London from wiiich she gradu
ated. As for her beauty. Miss
Garson has been described as
having "autumn rod hair, sea
green eyes and a flawless milk
white skin. , , . Patrolman Sid
ney Hutchins of the New York
police. Has been directing traf
fic at the very busy comer of
23rd street and Broadway for 44
years! Patrolman Hutchins. at
73. is still going strong at that
corner, now busier than ever. Is
there an older traffic officer in
the nation?
Asking
Queries from Clients. Q. A
friend of mine says he saw Gus
tave Charpentier, composer of
the opera, "Louise." in Paris re
cently I am certain he must be
mistaken. Didn't Charpentier rile
many years ago? A. Charpentier
Is still living in Paris. He is 90
years old but still quite active
Mme: Charpentier, the "Louise"
who inspired the composer to
wrllt the opera of that name, is :
also still living. i

Philadelphia subscriber gays
in most mispronounced name of
any player in the history of base
ball was the surname of Napo
leon Lajole. How would you pro
nounce it: . . . me snow that en
tertalned me most during this
Broadway theatrical season was
"Kiss Me Kate." After that,
"South Pacific" and "Detective
Story."
Sidelights
Ever hear of a man and wom
an having the same first and last
names getting married? It hap
pened in Tucson, Aril., where
Miss Jean Shepherd married Mr.
Jean Shepherd. ... Do you con
sider yourself a well Informed
fellow as to United States his
tory? If so, tell us who was the
last United States war general
with a' horse.
Briefly
It Is said the food most desired
by women expecting a blessed
event is ice cream. How about
your wife? Did she crave ice
cream when expecting junior?
What flavor? . . . That Toledo,
O., pianist, who played for 29
hours continuously, had a lot of
endurance but wasn't near the
world's record. According to
Frank Menke, In 1934 John
Strickland of Blackpool, Eng
land, played the piano for one
hundred and twenty-two and a
half hours without a stop. That's
the world's record.
Back Again
Ruby Keelcr is back on Broad
way after a long absence. During
the prohibition era Ruby per
formed at one of the clubs owned
by Texas Gtilnan and is said to
have been the original inspira
tion of La Guinan's celebrated
plea: "Give this little girl a
hand."
Hones k Woman
When a woman continues to be
beautiful after ten years or more
of married life, it reveals she has
a husband who knows how to
treat a wife. Or that she is in
love with a man other than her
husband. That's what Alexandre
Dumas, the elder, claimed,
Restaurants
A Hollywood Young Old Tim
er is a fellow who remembers
when the favorite restaurant of
the film stars was the Mont
marte (phonounced Mo-marte) on
Hollywood boulevard. ... A
Manhattan restaurant claims to
have originated "boneless shad"
as a menu item. I believe that
claim can be questioned. I think
the first "boneless shad" was
served In a Boston eatery, And
the first boneless shad served In
New York was at Rector's.
