Moore. The wives of presidential can didates are much photographed these days. There being two mil lion more women than men elig ible to vote in the presidential election the personality and ap pearance of a candidate's matri monial mate is naturally consid ered an important factor in his success. One wonders what would be the reaction of the feminine voters to a bachelor candidate. There have been only three bachelor candidates for the presidency, Buchanan, Til den and Cleveland. Two were winners, Buchanan and Cleve land. The first candidate of the Republican party, John C Fre mont was defeated by bachelor Buchanan, a handsome six-foot er. However, Mr. Buchanan was not much of a president. Snoring Husbands. New Yorker asks if our Mules & Men department has any helpful hints to offer to a wife who suffers from a snoring husband. Our experts have de voted much time to research on this problem but have had little success. All they can suggest is use ear stoppers or arrange for separate bedrooms. It has been claimed if a wife whistles Yan kee Doodle it will stop her hus band's snoring. We checked this. It does stop the snoring, but only temporarily. After about fifteen minutes silence the wife has to start whistling Yankee Doodle again. It is also said men only snore when lying on their backs So it was suggested a walnut be sewed into the snorer's pajamas This to prevent the man from gave scholarships ' to summer school were read.

I claim when running for the presidency the first time Abra ham Lincoln was clean shaven. That he grew a beard during Jus first term. A. Lincoln was clean shaven during his first presidential campaign. He grew a beard after he was elected However, he started to grow the same before his inauguration. He was bearded when he enter ed office. Lincoln is said to have grown a beard at the suggestion of an 11-year-old girl named Grace Bedele who in a letter said she thought a beard would add to his dignity. Kind Word. A San Franciscan has a kind word for the manufacturers of nylon hosiery. She says they are doing all right. States she re ceived a Christmas present of a half dozen pairs of nylons. Has been alternating two pairs of these for the past six months and has never had. a run in the same. They are fifty-one gauge, thirty denier. The lady says the manufacturers are right. The reason so many women wear out their nylons so quickly is be cause they don't know how to care for the same. Or are too lazy to do so. Legal Device Fails To Unload Tunafish Portland (U.R)An "ingenious" legal device to get a strike-bound shipload of fish unloaded was upset Thursday by a federal court ruling. Federal District Judge Gus J. Solomon Wednesday threw out a suit of the Columbia River Packers association against Pa cific Far East Lines. The suit sought to have a U. S. marshal seize the 1,280 tons of frozen tuna aboard the steamship line's S. S. Contest in Astoria, Ore., and deliver it to the packing firm. The vessel is strikebound by the current strike of AFL sailors. Federal Strike Breakers "You're asking federal offic ials to act as strike breakers, the judge indignantly told offic ials of -the packing firm. Solomon noted that Pacific Far East Lines, defendants in the case, supported the proposed order. "There is no real dispute be tween you two," Solomon told both sides. "I m not going to is sue such an order in a case be tween- two friendly parties." The judge said .the maneuver to have the tuna unloaded was ingenious," but said his court would not hear it because it was not a bona fide dispute. Christmas Season Arrives in Canada Vernon, B.C.

Sanitation Authority Ready To Get Tough With 10 Cities Portland U.R) The State 1 Sanitation Authority prepared! Tnursda to get tougn witn iu Oregon cities it accuses . of re fusing to cooperate in the state's post-war anti-stream pollution campaign. The crackdown is expected to come at a hearing of the author ity in Portland Friday, when representatives of the 10 cities are to appear in response to cita tions issued three weeks ago. List of Offenders The offending cities -were Newport, Lebanon, Mt. Angel, Vale, Nyssa, Coquille, Myrtle Point, Toledo, Wheeler and Ne halem. According to Curtiss M. Everts Jr., state sanitary engineer, the hearings are the result of au thority's decision to push the movement to clean up public streams. Unless representatives of the 10 cities can produce satisfactory reasons for not being ordered to construct sewage treatment fa cilities, they will probably be ordered to begin such construc tion by specific dates or face le gal action by the state. Will File Complaint If a city elects not to comply with the authority's order, a com plaint will be filed against the municipality and the attorney general will be asked to proceed against it in- the court Everts said the r-ithority's or der may.be appealed by a citjn within 30 days after it is issued. Such an appeal would be filed with the circuit court of the county in which the city lies. Since the authority was cre ated in 1938 by vote of the peo ple, 37 municipal sewage disposal and treatment systems have been built and 18 more are expected to be completed this year.
