The world's best tailor is one who has a shop in Ipswich, Eng land. Or that's that is main tained on Saville Row, London. In a recent competition with 180 of Britain's best tailors, Edmund Glazebrook of Ipswich was the winner. Although his shop is in Ipswich, Greenbrook learned tailoring on Saville Row. Who is the best tailor in the U. S. A.? That query baffles me. How ever, I can tell you the Saville Row tailors once considered the late Eddie Schmidt of Beverly Hills, Cal., the best tailor in America. That Name There seems to be consider able disagreement among the clientelle as to the proper pro nunciation of the last name of Napoleon Lajoie, the fourth greatest ball player of all time. However, Mrs. Irene Rooker speaks with some authority on the subject. Says she: "My dad was Charlie Schmidt, catcher for the Detroit Tigers in 1907-1908-1909. He knew Napoleon Jajoie for years and always pro nounced the name "Laz-you-way." Infants Have you a 2 year old female child in your home? How is the youngster getting along? Has she been ill much? These quer ies are inspired by hearing of a 2 vear old child named Molly Hiil of Glasgow. Scotland. Molly, who weighed only three If You've Earned It . . . . . . there awaits for a fortunate few a thrilling adventure in contented living Along the famed Rogue River in Southern Oregon lies a magnificent historic land of breathtaking splendor . . . a land of towering trees and lush sunlit meadows . , . where giant steel head, trout, duck, deer and wild geese abound in natural plenty.

Following ner recovery from those ailments, an ambu lance ran into Molly's baby car riage and threw her fifteen feet. She was unhurt. Sidelights In 1956, the Aga Khan, Rita Hayworth's father-in-law, will be presented by his Moslem fol lowers with his weight in plati num. The Aga Khan usually weighs around 250 pounds. Plat inum is currently valued at about $57 an ounce. . . A Califor nian says a safety razor blade manufactor told him to strop a blade inside a common drinking glass and it would last indefin itely. He tried it and so far has had forty-six shaves from the same blade. Strange that a blade manufacturer should be free with advice like that. Certainly is no good for business. Briefly Britain Dowager Queen Mary, now 83 years old, is not com pletely Victorian in her views and habits. She smokes cigar ets. ... I always thought the States of Washington and Maine had the most cities and towns with strange names. But maybe California has more. Ono, Igo and Ypaldom are all names of California towns. House Detectives The Borough of Manhattan is once more in with something to top. The claim this time is that Grace Marie Legay of the Com modore hotel is the only woman house detective in the United States. That I doubt. In fact. I believe the Waldorf-Astoria has a female sleuth on its pay roll. i Please Not "You recently state it was claimed Marvin Owen, once of the Detroit Tigers, could hold seven baseballs in one hand," writes a Pennsylvanian. "You expressed doubt that could be done. It is quite possible. Julius Shuster of Jeanette. Pa., could hold nine baseballs in one hand. Julius could also hold fifteen tennis balls in one hand. I've seen him do this in exhibitions many times. Just heard of a four year old collie, lost in Nova Scotia, that ten months later showed up at us nome in Illinois. Distance covered was 1,900 miles. How do dogs find their way home when lost at a place that far away? Quite a few dogs have done it. I figured it is accom plished because the dogs are in telepathic communication with ther masters. Almost Confidential Hildegarde Loretta Sell, night club chanteuse, known as "The Incomparable Hildegarde" is a native of Wisconsin. However, she achieved her first great suc cess as. an entertainer abroad. In fact, the first place she ever saw her name up in lights was in London. Record What vaudeville sketch holds the record for the longest run played by the same performers? It certainly must be that hilari ous sketch titled, "Dr. Kronk hite," with which Smith and Dale have been throwing audi ences into uproars of laughter for forty-three years. These two brilliant comedians offered "Dr. Kronkhite" at the Palace re cently and it clicked as usual. One older timer told me he had seen this sketch at least seventy-five times and enjoyed every performance of it. Horses 8c Women Where hats for women are sold they always have sales women. But in women's shoe departments they always have salesmen. Why does this situa tion exist? Can't one woman sell another a pair of shoes without starting an argument? Or is it that women prefer to buy shoes from men?
