To hand a birth announce ment from Mr. and Mrs. Jim Londos. I am referring, of course, to the great wrestling genius and his lovely bride. The new arrival, born February 2, has been nam ed Illeana Christine Londos. Her birthdate comes under the sign of Aquarius. The way to handle an Aquarius child is to let her follow her natural inclinations on what sort of career she would like to follow. Don't try to make her take up some activity you think would be better for her. Or so say the stargazers. Passing By Arthur "Bugs" Baer. Another of the innumerable fellows of infinite jest born in Philadelphia. One of a family of 14 children. He is, in my opinion, one of the three leading original wits of the present day. Other two, are Jimmie Durante and Georgie Jessel. Mr. Baer is a very versa tile fellow. Among his accom plishments is that of songwriter. He is the author of that touch ing ballad titled "When I Am With You I'm Lonesome." . . . Shimpei Shirai. Publisher of the Tokio newspaper that is equiva lent to our Racing Form.

I claim "Toots" Shor, the very successful midtown Manhattan restaurateur, was once a bar tender at Billy Lahiffs Tavern. Right? A. Mr. Shor was the head waiter at Lahiffs. Also doubled as bouncer if any of the clien tele became inclined to disturb the peace of the establishment. Q. Was Irving Berlin once known as "The Ragtime Kid"? A. Not that I know of. The original "Ragtime Kid" was a pianist named S. Brunson Campbell. Came by the nickname naturally. When he acquired it he was only 15 years old but an accomplished cafe pianist specializing in rag time. His teacher was the great Scott Joplin. Incidentally, Jop lin's celebrated number, "The Maple Leaf Rag," was named after a night spot called the Maple Leaf club in Sedalia, Mo. Asides Among the accomplishments of Winston Churchill, British prime minister, is bricklaying. Knows enough about it to have passed the test required for a union card. . . . Note Eddie Stan ky referred to as "the greatest lead-off man of all time." Guess the fellow who wrote that never saw "Wee Willie" Keeler or Heine "Bottle-Bat" Groh. . . .

I have noticed that too and I am no expert on the subject. Please Note Are you familiar with the ca reer of Dr. Phineas Parkhurst Quimby of Portland, Me.? He was an extremely interesting man. It was as a patient of Dr. Quimby that Mary Baker Eddy was inspired to write "Science and Health," a book which is second only to the Bible as a best seller. At the age of 40, Mrs. Eddy was a chronic invalid suffering with spinal trouble. She consulted Dr. Quimby in the desperate hope he could cure her where so many others had failed. He did cure her. The man ner in which he did it gave Mrs. Eddy the idea for the aforemen tioned book and for Christian Science. 142 Cases Carried By Juvenile Office .
