f0 t " C SMASHED OPEN after Being hauled from Laverne Redfield homi . -In Reno, this shattered safe; which held $1,500,000 In currency and securities, was found in abandoned mine shaft by Policemen Jim Franklin (left), Mike Salinsen and Bill Backer. (International) On The Side 6 f. v. Durimg (Distributed by Kinf Ftaturtr Svpdicete, Inc.) Bad we never loved so kindly Bad we never loved so blindly. Never met or never parted We had ne'er been broken ' hearted. Burns. Are you by any chance an ex pectant father? Wouldn't you like to know whether it will be a boy or a girl? It. would, at least, cut down the argument about what name to give the newcomer by -50' per cent. There is said to have been perfected a new sex prediction test that is 100 per cent accurate. This test enables a sex prediction to be made two weeks after the mother-to-be is pronounced ex pectant. Some years ago, on the East Side of Manhattan, there was a man who offered to pre dict the sex of an expected child for a fee of $5. If his prediction was not correct he said he would return the money. Which he al ways did. But, of course, the old boy couldn't help being right about 50 per cent of the time. So he did extremely well financial ly until the police caught up with him. Asking. Queries from clients. Q. How old was Al Jolson at the time of his death- An actor of my ac quaintance says 70 years is the right answer. A. It was legally proven Al was 65 years old when he died. Q: Just who was "Coal Oil Johnny,!' who they say was the greatest spender in the history of Broadway? A. Man, you mention was one John W. Steele, of Mercer county, Pennsylvania, who inherited from an aunt a fortune of about half a million dollors which came from some oil properties. "Coal Oil Johnny" went through this fortune very rapidly. How ever, I don't think he can be rated the greatest Broadway 'spender. John "Betcha Million" Gates and "Death Valley Scotty" topped him in that respect. And don't, forget "Diamond Jim" Brady. Those Selections: Once more I call for the or ganization of an association abol ishing the selection of all-time teams. The many curious selec tions of this type are bringing about an increase of high blood pressure among intelligent sports fans. As for example, that recent selection of an "all-time New York American League Team," based on the votes of no less than forty-eight present day sportsscribes. Jack Chesbro didn't make this team. Yet in one season Jack pitched fifty four games for the New York American League team and won forty-one of them! To leave Jack Cresbro off any all-time New York Yankee team - is like se lecting a list of great Americans and omitting Abraham Lincoln. Food Again. ,' Shelly Winters, the slightly dynamic cinema performer, re cently returned from abroad, ex presses the view Americans eat too rapidly. "In Italy,", says Miss Winters, "they take three hours for lunch." This brings to mind Christopher Morley and some of his pals once had had a "Three Hours for Lunch Club" in down town Manhattan. I don't go for spending much time at lunch. That is my lightest meal of the day. The meals I linger over are breakfast and dinner. When I had regular hours of employ ment I used to get up early so I could take plenty of time for breakfast. I also like about two hours for dinner. Among The Married. When both husband and wife go out to work I agree the hus band should help with the house work. However, I do not believe the man of the house should be imposed upon in that respectl am reliably informed that in many career-couple domiciles the husband does about 70 per cent of the work. Many hus bands of career girl wives do the cooking. Some even do the washing. Others scrub the kitch en floor and" the bathrooms. They assume these tasks because their wives fall back on the old "weaker sex" angle and also make subtle appeals to the gal lantry and chivalry of their hus bands. I believe this situation should have the careful consider ation of the Husbands Piotective association. Washington Welfare Costs Decline Again Olympia (U.R) State Social Security Director Roderic Olzen dam Saturday reported another decline in the number of per sons on the welfare rolls and the cost of paying them grants. A total of $6,274,000 in state aid went to, 134,730 persons during February, Olzendam said. That's a decline of nearly $69, 000 and more than 1,200 per sons from the January level of public assistance. STUCK EITHER WAY Pendleton, Ind. (U.R) State police ordered a truck driver, Omer Gnau, into a weighing sta tion in the belief his truck was overloaded with sand. Gnau stopped and dumped part of the sand. Police then arrested him on a charge of hauling a leaky load. BENEFIT AT ST. MARY'S SCHOOL Saturday, March 29 From 2 to 5 7 'til ? ST.

Cameras of two street photog- Ellensburg Men Attack Ceiling s Ellensburg-MU.B The Ellens burg Chamber of Commerce has joined with the Ellensburg Farm Leaders council in adopting a resolution attacking the govern ment ceiling on farm wages. Farm leader Stewart Bledsoe outlined the situation at a meet ing of the chamber Friday. He said the government has asked the farmer to increase produc tion, but to do this more labor is needed. - ' "The only way you can get more labor is to pay higher wages than competing indus tries," Bledsoe said. "However, the farmers are held to only a 15 per cent increase in farm wages." The farm leader said local farmers must attract workers with top wages and the IS per cent increase is not enough. The chamber and farm group plan to mail copies of their reso lution to the Washington state congressional delegation. Young LA Woman Dies After Brutal Beating Los Angeles U.R) A young red-haired woman was brutally beaten and raped and left to die Friday night in a downtown parking lot. Homicide officers said there was still a spark of life remain ing when she was discovered, but she died as she was being rushed to a receiving hospital. Detective Robert A. Lohrman said she was between 25 and 30 years old but was otherwise un identified. No purse was found. A preliminary investigation of the body disclosed that she ap parently had been beaten to death by her assailant's fists. Thorny Problem Puzzles Salem Police Officers Salem (U.R) Salem police had a thorny problem to pus si out Saturday. They were on the scent of a thief who stole four rose bushes from the garden of Mrs. A. J. Erans. As spring opened and the gardening urge became pow erful for certain individuals or characters, thieve also up rooted and made off with a' dozen dahlia bulbs from the yard of George Smith here. raphers in downtown Portland were found to be empty Friday after the two men had snapped their shutters at a number of shoppers. The filmless earner.-, led the Portland Better Business Bureau to suspect that the side walk picture taking business may be a hoax. Police said the suspected fraud could run into several thousand ' dollars which unsus pecting camera subjects have doled out. Better Business Bureau Man ager Lyle L. Jam said numer ous complaints have 'been re ceived by the bureau from peo ple insisting they didn't get any pictures for the money they mailed to the firm in the Morgan building. Others said the pictures they received in the mails were unrecognizable. 60 Planes Join Hunt In Mountainous Area Seattle (U.R) Search for a light plane piloted by Walla Walla Architect Stanley G. Page, 42, was resumed Saturday with more than 60 civilian and Civil Air Patrol planes joining the hunt. Mew leads were reported by Fourth Air Rescue squadron of ficials at McChord Air Force base. Officials said reports from the vicinity of Mt St. Helens and Mt. Rainier have spurred the CAP to send planes into the area for a more extensive search. The area was searched yesterday by Air Force planes. Other search areas are in the vicinity of Yakima and Mt. Adams. Page vanished on a flight from Seattle to his home Wednesday. He was on the last leg of a trip from Vancouver, B. C. Sonja Henie Forced To Close Ice Revue New York U.R) Sonja Henie told her fans here Saturday that "1 11 be back." - Miss Henie was forced to can cel a two-week ice show engage ment at the Kingsbridge armory Friday when she failed to raise $1,000,000 bond as insurance against accidents. She said she would return with her revue at some later date. Jerry Giesler, her attorney, explained that the "unusually high" bond was undoubtedly the result of the opening night acci dent in Baltimore, Md., March 7, when a section of the stands col lapsed and injured almost 300 persons. Miss Henie said suits filed against her and the seating con tractor in the accident amount to $5,670,000. Sunday.
