I Tuesday, June IS, 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE On the SideB E v Dur,in9 (Distributarf ky KiM ttutm Syndicate, lac) My own iweft love! O my dear peerless wile! By the blue iky and all the crowding stars, 1 love you better ob( far better than Woman was ever loved. There it not an hour Of day or dreaming night but I am with you; There's not a wind but whliperi of your name. Not a flower that ileepa beneath the moon But In lta hues or fragranca tails a tale of you. - Harry Cornwall So the latest exchange ii 350 French francs to the dollar. The last time I saw Paris, which was in 1939, I received only thirty francs for a dollar. Still, that wasn't bad. It is, of course, the buying power that counts. In 1939 in Paris you could buy a good Havana cigar for 6 francs. You could get a haircut for the same price you could have coffee and cognac at Fouquet's sidewalk cafe on the Champs Eleysee for 10 francs. And you could make a 10-franc bet at the racetrack. Gelling It Right. My claim was that Lillian Rus sel enjoyed a good cigar. A New Yorker who claimed she knew Lillian Russell very well stated I was wrong; that the glamorous Examinations for Army and Naval Appointments Soon Washington, June 13 Con gressman Harris Ellsworth an nounced today that competitive examinations for appointments to vacancies at both the U.

A bolt of lightning struck Olin Spiva's silo Saturday night, flashed through his barn and knocked down Spiva, a row of 20 cows he was milking and one of his horses. Then it snaked up to the roof and tore loose a 'ew boards. Spiva, the cows and the horse were shaken up a bit, but oth erwise were reported unhurt. NOW-WONDERFUL RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION "Just can't keep from writing you. Eating ALL-BRAN every day brought me complete relief from constipation. Medicines had failed to straighten me out I" Mr.A.S. Beatty, Sr., Cornersville, Tenn. One of many unmlto ited letters from ALL BRAS utert. You, too, may expect to overcome constipa tion due to lack of dietary bulk if you follow this advice: Eat an ounce of crispy Kelloro'i ALL-BRAN daily, drink plenty of i water I If not com pletely satisfied after 10 daya, return empty carton to Kelloeg'a, Battle Creek, Mich. Get DOUBLE i'OL'R M0NLY BAC&I 1 charmer of the yesteryear never smoked a cigar in her life. I have considerable proof my statement was correct. I offer in evidence the following com munication from Bill Holbrook: "Regarding your statement that Lillian Russell enjoyed a good cigar, I recall the eventful day that my father, Al Holbrook, who produced musicals for Web er and Fields took me backstage to see the great beauty. She, Lil lian Russell, was wearing long white bloomers and a long cor set with whalebone or metal ribs in it. She was smoking a large, black cigar." Pleas Not In 1947, when Robert Taylor visited London, he was sur rounded by a wild mob of thou sands of feminine admirers. He was embraced and kissed by many of these female fans. Some tore buttons from his coat for souvenirs. Recently on his way to Rome, where he will be in the cast of "Quo Vadis," Taylor stopped in London, This time no mob of adoring females sur rounded him. In fact, not even one female asked for his auto graph. Taylor viewed the situa tion philisophically. He said to a reporter: "After all, I am 38 years old and have beei around a lonr time, so I can no longer expec that sort of thing. But listen, brother, they're not tearint Gable's buttons off anymore either." Asides. You know the Monitor defeat ed the Merrimac at Hampton Roads, Va., in 1862. But did you know the Monitor was built on Brooklyn? Good, old Brooklyn! ... A Californian who objects to kissing on grounds that it is not hygienic claimed she had never been kissed, though she had been married forty years and was the mother of fourteen children. Grounds for Divorce. The leader in grounds for di vorce throughout the world is cruelty. That is revealed by ex tensive research conducted by the French Institute of Demo graphic studies. Keep that in mind, lady. Do not be cruel to your husband. As there are thirteen hundred and forty-two ways a woman can be cruel to her spouse, space does not permit their listing here, but one of them is nagging. After cruelty the next three leading grounds for divorce, according to the aforementioned research, are in the order named, infidelity, egoism and averice. The United States leads the major nations of the world in di vorce. Eighty-six out of every ten thousand marriages in this country end in the divorce courts. The British have the best record. They usually mar ry for keeps. Only seven out of ten thousand British marriages end in divorce. Rabbits. Note it stated that If you take two rabbits and start breeding, that at the end of the ninth gen eration, if no deaths have oc curred, you will have nine mil lion rabbits. Now that's something really interesting for that Milwaukee checkerupper to check. I will be glad to furnish him with the first two rabbits. Longevity. Geniatrics is the study of lon gevity. Men of science specializ. ing in this study try to figure out ways and means of enabling people to live a healthy old age. One specialist in geniatrics says doing housework conscientiously and thoroughly makes a woman live longer. Call that to the at tention of your wife. Mister, the next time she refers to her housework as an arduous task. Tell her she is lucky not to have a maid to do the work as that would shorten her life. Sidelights. Do you think thirteen is un lucky? If so, you suffer from triskaidophobia. Are you afraid of your wife? If such is the case you are afflicted with uxorouho bia. ... A new Yorker informs me that while in Los Angeles he was given a ticket and fined two dollars for walking across a street against a red light. Serves him right. More cities should have penalties for careless walk ing. It Is the cause of many accidents. Solve the Wedding Gift Question! &tttbeam TREASURE CHEST Itmmi HJNMAM MIXMASTf COf PIIMASTH.
