Does he wash, iron, cook, mend and do a million things kids re quire? Does he have to plan to have the four youngsters get the right nourishment, entertain ment and what not? All this comes under the head of house work and is still not all of it. The average wife and mother is lucky if she gets time to wash her face.

So They Say Aries (March 21-April 20) women are usually very intelli gent, smart lookers and have good taste in dress, interior deco ration, etc. However, it takes a husband of strong character to hold his rightful position as head of the household if he has an Aries wife. Women of that sign are inclined to be dominating. They also have a desire to make a man over, to mould him into their idea of what a husband should be. Aries women are great party givers. Their object is not so much to entertain as to show off their possessions. They do not approve of a husband having a night out by himself. They fancy themselves as child rear ing experts and resent any inter ference by the husband in that department. They like to flirt a little but will not tolerate any thing like that on the part of their husbands. Most Aries wom en marry more than once, or so say the stargazers. (Note Mary Pickford. Gloria Swanson and Bette Davis are Aries-born.) Asking Queries from clients. Q. What is the meaning of "eighty-six" as called out by bartenders and fountain lunch attendants? A. Seems to have various meanings in different sections. Most com mon meaning is that the place has run out of what has been ordered. In bars it sometimes means not to serve a certain cus tomer any more liquor. Q. Did John Barrymore ever appear in a musical show and do a song and dance in same? A. Yes, sir. In the show titled "A Stubborn Cinder ella," John Barrymore did a song and dance. The feminine star was Sallie Fisher. Intelligence Intelligence and knowledge are often confused. Many edu cated men are not very intelli gent. We all know stupid college graduates. Intelligence is the ability to get the most out of what you know. As a class the most Intelligent men are the me chanics.

That is, of course, what Henry Ford did.
