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.

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.

After Brutal Beating
Los Angeles U.R) A young
red-haired woman was brutally

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.
