(A young woman of Chicago, describing herielf aa "a blua eyed brunatta of Swadish des cant," askad ma to quota a "lore poem written by a Swede, If there Is aueh a thing." The above is an excerpt from one of the few Iova poems of Swedish origin.) It won't be long now before you will be able to fly from New York to Los Angeles in a little over 5Vi hours. If the United States airlines cannot get an American-made passenger plane that can travel 500 miles an hour they are going to buy the British De Havilland Jet Comets, which have attained that speed in many trial flights. Horses St Women How often has your charming matrimonial mate, while off on a trip, lamented the absence of a full-length mirror in a noiei room? If she has frequently had this experience she will be in terested in knowing that a Japa nese has invented a plastic full length mirror that can be rolled up and packed in an overnight bag. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who wrote the song titled "My Old Man's a Fireman, What Do You Think of That?" A. Your query baffles me. I know there was such a song but don't even know the words. Q.

We spent two hours and a half in a traffic jam and then never did get where we wanted to go. Q. How many playa has George Bernard Shaw written? A. Fifty-six. Most of them hits. Q. How long ago was the novel "Ex-Wife" written? A. Ursula Parrott wrote that more than 20 years ago. Q. Is Mothers' day In England on the same date as in the United States? A. England does not have a Mothers' day. Pals We hear much about "pen pals and their experiences with that thing called love. How about "radio pals"? I am refer ring to those amateur radio op erators known as hams." A Hastings, Mich., wife used her husband's radio transmitter to develop a love affair with a ham" in a distant city. The two carried on torrid conversations over the airwaves when the hus band was absent, which was often, as he is a traveling sales man. Then one night while on trip the husband decided to tune in on his own wave length. The conversation he heard be tween his matrimonial mate and her airwave sweetheart caused him to file suit for divorce. Asides A. F. Bergman of Annapolis, Md., walked 63 miles on his 63rd birthday, from Annapolis to Washington, D. C. Mr. Berg man made the trip in 11 hours and 43 minutes. . . . Bald head ed men rarely become chronic alcoholics. The majority of habitual drunkards have plenty of hair, or so some research on the matter Indicates. . . . Wonder how Thomas "Tiny Tim" Jones of Pittsburgh, is getting along with his weight reduction diet. Whem 'Tiny Tim" started to diet he weighed 540 pounds. He hopes to take off 340 pounds! Among the Married Ever know a fellow whose first name was Hercules? I nev er have. Never even heard of one until I noted a report that Mr. and Mrs. Hercules Dreyer of Orange Free State have been married 78 years and claim it If a world's record. Seems to me I heard of a United States couple who have been married 79 years. Do you recall hearing of such a couple? Maybe we can win a stogie from the Hercules' Dreyers. Models Not all the celebrated dress models are statuesque types. In fact, one of the world's most successful models is in the cute, little trick class. That is Bar bara Goalen, who models In London and Paris. Do not know all Barbara's measurements, but she is about 5 feet tall, has a 21 inch waist and wears n 2 1 i size hoe. She became a model three years ago when left with two children to support. Her hus band, a captain In the RAE. was killed In a crash. Mrs. Goalen does most of her morirling now for Julian Rose of London, a dress designer who is said to cater exclusively to "small wom en with large bank accounts." Please Note Regarding that argument as to whether Cleopatra was a blonde, brunette or redhead. After hearing from many au thorities on the subject and do ing considerable research my self I have come to the conclu sion that Cleo was all three She was born a blonde. In later years she wore a brunette wig And at one time dyed her hair red. YOUR FRgE COPy..
