As you know, at Manhattan
parades honoring homecoming
or visiting celebrities much torn
paper and confetti is tossed from
windows. Record for such dem
onstrations is held by Gen. Doug
las MacArthur. At the parade in
his honor last year 850 tons of
paper were tossed. At General
Eisenhower's parade 77 tons of
paper were thrown. For Winston
Churchill parade, 56 tons.
Horses 8c Women
At a recent dinner party a
discussion dealing with the Duch
ess of Windsor inspired a men
tion of the romance of that other
belle of Baltimore, Betsy Patter
son, who married Prince Jerome
Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother.
"They met at a race track," I
said. I heard a green-gray-eyed
blonde whisper to another guest:
"It's positively revolting. No
matter what is being discussed
that Durling brings a horse into
it." I ignored the crack. Those
green-gray-eyed blondes have
never forgiven me for having
our Horses & Women experts tell
their husbands how to handle
them. Betsy Patterson met Jer
ome Bonaparte at the Govans
race track in Baltimore. Betsy
was beautiful and an heiress. Her
father, William Patterson, was at
that time the second richest man
in the United States. The richest
was another Marylander, Charles
Carroll of Carrolton.
Texas is an Indian word mean
ing "Hail Friend." . . . Chicago
is the fourth largest city in the
world. Can you name the first
three in the proper order? How
about the fifth and sixth? . . .
What restaurant currently oper
ating in the U.S.A. has the larg
est menu card? Von's restaurant
in Seattle has a menu card which
measures 9 inches by 12
inches. It lists 30 entrees.
Are you an opera enthusiast?
If to, how well informed art you
on the subject? What open calls
for the leading lady having un
usually beautiful legs? It is "Der
Rosenkavalier" by Richard
Strauss. The composer wrote the
opera for Mary Garden because
of her beautiful legs. Or so he
said. However. Mary never play
ed it She was going to, but
World War I intervened and all
German operas were barred in
Paris. It would seem an opera
star with great pride in her volet
might be offended if told an op
era had been written for her be
cause of her beautiful legs. But
Miss Garden was quite pleased
with the compliment
Please Note
It is constantly claimed little
women prefer big men. That all
cute, little tricks are wild to mar
ry six-footers. The research of
our Horses & Women experts
does not confirm this. Many lit
tle women prefer to marry men
of similar height or just a little
taller. Five feet seven seems the
popular height for husbands
among the .petite females. Inci
dentally, that California widow
with eight children who has re
ceived so many proposals of mar
riage is five feet two inches in
height She has stated she would
like to marry a man of about the
same height I have heard it
claimed that the smaller men
make the best husbands. Not
only that it has been asid they
make better lovers.
Briefly
Query as to who played Char
maine in the first film version of
"What Price Glory" baffled
many subscribers. It was none
other than Dolores Del Rio. That
part started her on her way to
stardom. . . . Predictions by Nos
trademus are being referred to
again. Now it is said he predict
ed war between "the bear and
the eagle," interpreted to mean
Russia and the U. S. A. He said
the eagle would be the winner.
Pasting By
"Pudge" Heffelfinger. Foot
ball immortal. He made Walter
Camp's first selection of an all
America football team. That was
63 years ago, in 1889, to be exact
"Pudge" is now 85 years of age
and in the pink. Plays a lot of
golf.
Note it stated that "pooling the
tips" is "a European custom"
and "never practiced" in this
country. That's not right At most
bars the bartenders pool their
tips. However, the practice has
never been popular among wait
ers or waitresses, especially)
waitresses. A waitress feels her
"male appeal" has as much to
do with the size of her tips as
the service she gives. So a brown
eyed honey blonde tray queen
with a plentitude of "oomph"

Stan Freberg sobbed Tuesday
that Johnny Ray fans lust don't

humor" be
cause they're
creaming mad
over Freoenfs
satire of the
sweeping
crooner.
Ray, as de
votees of the
arts know by
now, is the new
AUao Mossy swoon boy who
sobs such sad songs as "Cry."
Freberg decided "to many
sad songs come out of radios now
they will find the sett have been
corroded by tear." So he and
composer Rudy Raskin dashed
off a murderous satire. Try."
Sun s record of it swept the
country.
On the platter he cries and
gurgles, "Don't you know . . .
nobody laughs it up no more . . .
wipe off that smile and weep
. . . it's real George to cry . . .
don't be a snob ... tit down and
sob . . . come on and taa-ry!"
Labeled "Dirty Loose"

with a sob. was "honored that be

Plays Seasick Serpent
Freberg's waded in hot water
for his satire before. He plays
Cecil the seasick serpent on
"Time for Beany," a children's
television puppet show. But he
also records satirical tunes, such
as his famous "John and Mar
sha."
This take-off on soap operas
consisted of Freberg saying only
"John . . . Marsha." The radio
networks sniffed Innuendo and
banned the tune.
"AU I did was say two words,"
said Freberg. "I'm a nice boy
who lives with his father who's
minister in nice home in
Pasadena.
Have Dirt Minds
"Mr father said whv did thev
ban the song, son? I had to tell
him a lot of people have dirty
minds. It's banned in the whole
city of Boston. They cant even
sell the record. That shows you
what kind of minds they have
in Boston."
Freberg's next record: "Abe
Snake for President"
"With earn record vou cet a
campaign button. 111 take

Parking Meier
Legality Studied
By Kansas Court
Topeka, Ksa. (U.R) The Kan
sas Supreme Court took under
advisement the plea of a Hutch
inson. Kan., real estate man that
parking meters are unconstitu
tional and a "vicious device de
signed to bleed motorists of
every nickel they can."
J. W. Harrison, the complain
ing motorist reached the state
high tribunal Monday in his
long and expensive court battle
against parking meters. It started
Dec. 12, 1950, when he was fined
ll-for refusing to cough up a
penny for a parking meter. He
also refused to pay the $1.
The real estate man, who said
he was ready to spend as much
money as necessary to "get the
confounded things (parking me
ters) outlawed." vowed he'd take
his battle to the U. S. Supreme
Court, if necessary.
The seven-judge Kansas Su
preme Court said it would an
nounce its decision on the matter
In May or June.
