In New York City, office boys average $35.50 a week; in Chi cago $40; Atlanta, $34; in Bos ton, $33.50. I don't remember what the secretaries and switch board operators were paid when I worked in downtown Manhat tan as a lad, I do know office boys were paid from $3 to $5 a week. The $5 a week lads were big shots. They took their girls to Coney Island on Saturday nights. Sidelight A promising candidate for president of the Borrowed Time club, is Col. J. C.

Duwng Feature Syndicate, Inc.) are the bachelors most difficult to get into matrimonial harness? I once thought it was San Fran cisco. Now I think it is Pitts burgh. It was a group of Pitts burgh bachelorettes who origi nated the "We Wanna Get Mar ried Club." When I mentioned that there, were bachelors in Alaska seeking matrimonial mates, the greatest response came from Pittsburgh bachelor ettes. Recently I referred to a place in the Dutch West Indies where many high salaried bache lors are stationed in the employ of an American -oil company. Again the Pittsburgh bachelor ettes showed the most interest. If the Pittsburgh bachelors are not reluctant as to matrimony can it be that the bachelorettes of taht city are not well versed in the art of inspiring a propos al? Or is it possible the Pitts burgh bachelors do not measure up to what their city's bachelor ettes expect in a husband? I have asked our Mules & Men depart ment to thoroughly check the situation. Trained Seals Most of those clever perform ing animals referred to as "seals are really California sea lions. They come from the Santa Cruz Islands which are about 20 miles off the coast of Santa Barbara. You may have wondered where "trained seals are trained. They go to college.

When polio strikes, a victim has a good chance of escaping any paralysis. according to Dr. William A. Spencer. Spencer, medical director of the southwestern polio respira tory center at Houston, Tex., said here that 'if paralyzed, a victim also has a good chance of avoiding long-term confine ment in an iron lung. Spencer said that loughly 50 per cent of all polio cases com pletely escape paralysis. Of those with some degree of paralysis, he said, perhaps 10 or 12 per cent have any long term or res piratory problem. The medical director s optimis tic statements are based on ex perience at the center. He said only 40 of 320 respiratory pa tients treated there since June. 1950, have been serious iron lung cases. The dangers of Infantile par alysis have been well publi cized, Spencer said, but he thinks they have been too dramatically presented with the result that many people are unduly afraid of the disease. "People should remember,' he said, "that the automobile is still a greater community threat." a tictinonished alumnus of this college is that remarkable seal named "Sharkey." worth around 75 nnn. 1 saw "Sharkey" in a stage play in New York. I re member him well, but lorgei ine name of the play. Get It Right There has been some disagree ment among the subscribers as to those classic lines as to the ' 'Orses 'Oofs." The correct ver sion is: It's not the 'aavy 'auling that 'urli the 'ones 'oofs It's the 'ammer. 'ammtr 'ammer On the 'ard Ighwar. As to the lines referring to the men who lingered about the windy corner of the Jlatiron Building in the yesteryear they are as follows: The devil sends the wicked wind. To blow the skirts knee high. But God is Just, he tends the dust. To close the bad man's eye. Best of Friends You know how those who are divorced often say, "But we are still the best of friends." There is a group of divorced people in Kansas City, Mo., who can say that and they won't be wrong. Yes, sir, in Kansas City there is a man and his wife and his three ex-wives all living happily to gether in the same house.

Venus in the eastern dawn and Jupiter in the western twilight, have about gone in to hiding for a time. Venus, ris ing only about half an hour be fore the sun, and Jupiter, setting around the same time interval after sunset, are lost in the bril liance of this celestial luminary. We shall have to do without them for several weeks. The little planet Mercury 1 nearer the sun than the two just mentioned, so is completely blotted out As soon after sun set as the sky is sufficiently darkened, yellow Saturn may be seen well above the east-southeastern horizon. The bright star Spica will be somewhat below it. On April 8 the big round moon will be above Saturn, but on the following evening it will be below this planet. By 10 p. m. or shortly after, red Mars, now quite bright and it will continue to brighten for nearly a month will have cleared the skyline in the southeast. Brighter Stars Let us look for the brighter stars around 8 p. m. Spica was mentioned above.

About midway between these two, the short line of evenly spaced stars immediate ly catches the eye. This is Orion's belt Procyea Twinkling Considerably above Sirius and toward the zenith, the little dog star. Procyon, is twinkling. Still higher, the twins. Castor and Pollux, are bright They are only a little southwest of the zenith. Pollux is the southern and orange-colored of the pair. Well up in the sky and almost due west there stands upright a V-shaped stellar figure, all the stars of which are rather gaint with the exception of or ange Aldebaran. Only one other bright star re mains unnamed. Very high in the heavens, slightly north of west yellow Capella attracts our attention. The tiny stars in a little triangle below Capella are the Kids.

The graying. 57-year-old Shock is chief underwater test driver for the jeeps being built here for the Army by Willys Overland. A waterproofed en gine and electrical system-, plus two snorkels for air intake and exhaust enable the latest mili tary version of the mighty little vehicle to run nonchalantly along with everything but the snorkels and the top of the windshield completely under water.

Then he cuts off the motor and starts it up again the Army requires that each jeep must be able to start under water: and drives out of the pool. '52 Irrigation Season Open in Central Oregon Bend m The 1952 irriga tion season in Central Oregon started Friday, slightly ahead of schedule because of the warm, arid weather that has hit this interior region.
