What else ii love.
But the most noble, pare affection
Of what, is truly beautiful and fair.
Desire or union with the thing be
loved? I have read somewhere that man and
woman
Were in the first creation, both one
piece
And being cleft asunder, ever since
Love is an appetite to be rejoined.
Ben Jonson
It has been sad: "A good
surgeon must have an eagle's
eye, a lion's heart and a lady's
hand." May that ever be true
of any surgeon who operates
on you. Samuel Pepy's, the im
mortal diarist, regularly cele
brated the anniversary of an
operation that had saved his
life. On that anniversary Mr,
Pepys always sent the surgeon
who had performed the opera
tion a present. A very nice
gesture. How about you send
ing your surgeon an operation
anniversary present? And don't
forget the nurse.
Weaker Sex
Cracks as to the male being
the "weaker sex" daily become
more disparaging. Now a
feminine physician, after de
scribing the physical inferiority
of males in great detail, con
cludes by saying males are
really so much weaker physi
cally than females that the
women should give up their
seats to men on street cars.
This crack has inspired many
females to much laughter. How
ever, it is a remark they- may
regret. Men, smarting under the
aforementioned crack, will now
be more inclined to let women
stand. Also some husbands de
rided by their wives as being of
the "weaker sex may retaliate
by letting said wives carry their
own suitcases when traveling
Serve them right, too.
Lobsters
Guy Lombardo's restaurant
at Freeport, L. I, is reported
to be a terrific money maker.
How right that man was who
said: "Them that has gits." The
specialty of the house at Lom
bardo's is lobster. To be spe
cific, female lobster. The female
of the lobster being much more
tender than the male. Keep that
in mind, mister, when you or
der lobster.
Briefly
Why are nearly all umbrellas
black? Why not red, green, yel
low and white umbrellas. The
spectacle of many umbrellas of
different colors would help to
brighten a rainy day .... In
England three of the races at
major' horse tracks are tele
vised daily. Wagering is legal
over there. So many people
phone their bets to a bookie
and then make themselves com
fortable before their telvision
set at home and watch the race.
Some fun, what?

"Paris without love is like a
clock whose hands have been
removed." Sarah Bernhardt
said that. She also observed:
"Jealousy is an unmistakable
sign of a love that is purely
physical." Discussing matri
mony, Sarah said: "I always
swore that if I ever married it
would be simply to make my
self more popular with all men!
and I was never blind to the
fact that men like women bet
ter for being another man's
property."
Please Note
Thirty-two cents out of every
dollars a United States citizen
earns goes for taxes. The 68
cents he has left has only one
third of the purchasing power
of a similar amount in 1939. So
a man earning $75 a week at
this time is about as well off as
a man who earned around $20
a week in 1939.

Among The Married
Penny Ridgway, charming
and smart looking wife of the
general, was a secretary in
Washington, D. C, before her
marriage. The Ridgways are an
extremely happy couple. That's
not surprising. Secretaries are
preferred matrimonial material.
That is, if they are also sympa
thetic girls with a sense of hu
mor and a capacity to be happy.
The capacity to be happy is es
pecially important.

HOW TO AVOID TAR STAINS
The summer months invariably mean going to the beach hot
pavements in fact summer more often than not means tar stains.
Ordinary tar is not too difficult for us to remove, with just one
proviso. Tar stains cannot be allowed to get old and harden, because
when that happens, it is usually impossible to remove them.
Wa therefore recommend', if your garment acquires a tar stain,
that you bring it in to us as soon after staining as you notice it. The
same day, if possible. If not, the next day.
That way, by pointing out the stain to us, we can immediately at
tack it, and most likely get if out of the fabric entirely. If the tar stain
is allowed to age and harden, it inevitably solidifies and at the same
time imbeds itself in the fibres of the fabric . . . and the garment is
ruined. Much too high a price to pay, when, caught a few days sooner,
the stain might have been removed entirely and the garment restored
good as new.
So please let us say it again for added emphasis: BE SURE TO
BRING THE GARMENT IN AS SOON AFTER STAINING AS POSSIBLE.
And, remember, whether it's tar, some other kind of stain, or just
plain old dirt and grime that you want cleaned out of your clothes, you'll
always find that you'll get it done better when you bring it to MEDFORD
CLEANERS.

Private Services for
Olcoft Being Arranged
Portland U.R) Private fu
neral services were being ar
ranged Tuesday for Ben Wilson
Olcott, former governor of Ore
gon and a retired Portland bank
er, who died Monday at Physic
ians & Surgeons hospital. He
was 79.
Olcott, a Republican, became
governor March 3, 1919. on
death of Gov. James Withy-
combe. Olcott at that time was
serving his second elective term
as secretary of state. He was ap
pointed to that office in 1912 by
his brother-in-law, Gov. Oswald
West, a Democrat, to fill the un
expired term of Frank W. Ben
son, a Republican, who died in
office.
Died in Sleep
His physician said the former
governor died in his sleep. He
had been in failing health for
several years. His condition wor
sened about a week ago and he
entered the hospital.
Olcott was born at Keithsburg. i
111., Oct. 15, 1872. He came west
when he was 19 and considered
Oregon his official residence!
from 1892 on. After a series of;
odd jobs he went prospecting in
the "Wild Horse" gold stampede
in British Columbia in 1897. The
gold fever hit him again in 1904
when he prospected between
Nome and Fairbanks in Alaska
He was a gold dust teller and
buyer for the Fairbanks Bank
ing Co., in 1905-06.
During his gold rush days
Olcott "mushed" a dog team the
entire 1,000 miles between Nome
and Fairbanks and many stories
were told of this feat.
Olcott entered his first public
job in Oregon in 1907 when he
was named to the State Land
Board.
His term as governor expired
Jan. 8, 1923, when he was suc
ceeded by Walter M. Pierce. Ol
cott then returned to banking,
serving successively as manager
of the Long Beach, Calif., branch
of the Bank of Italy, and director
of the Oregon Mutual Savings
bank at Portland. He retired sev
eral years ago.
His wife, the former Lena Hut-
ton of Salem, died in 1936. Sur
vivors include his three sons,
Chester W., Yaquina, and Gor
don W. and Richard H., both of
Portland.
