In New York City, office boys

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.

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.

Polio Patients May
Escape Paralysis
Lincoln, Neb. U. 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

There has been some disagree

those classic lines as to the

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

Our two fine planets of a

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.

just mentioned, so is completely

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

skyline in the southeast.

Wa epprociato your compliment, Mr. Rossi. But we wouldn't stand a
chance of achieving this standard of service without the thins; you mention:
our American profit system. For this system provides the incentive, the
competition and the free economic climate that make for the greatest
efficiency. "
Without the chance for profit there would be no incentive for oar dealers
or any other, dealers to go after more customers by giving better
eervica.
Without competition, customers would have no freedom of choice no
way of expressing their preference.
erlioos that's why American service stations give you the best petroleum
products, at lowest cost, with tin finest service m the world. ,
the minimum schedule by $300.
In South Carolina, beginning
teachers with college degrees
will get $1,800 a year instead
of the previous $1,298.
Tennessee's general education
bill earmarked about $1,000,000
for teachers' pay raises.

average about $300 plus incre
ment. West Virginia's increases
