In the night I dreamd of you;
All the place was filled
With your presence! In my heart
The strife was stilled!
All night I have dreamed of you;
Now the morn is gray.
How shall I arise and face
The empty day?

Ninety-nine per cent of New
York City births take place in
hospitals. Average for rest of the
country is 87 per cent. A recent
check-up on the facilities of New
York, City hospitals for blessed
events revealed that in the great
majority of institutions they are
far from what they should be.
Incidentally, the country's best
hospital for a birth, from, the
standpoint of both mother 'and
child, is said to be in Jersey
City, N.J.
Briefly
How right George Moore was
when he observed: "The sever
est moralists are those who have
never known the pain of tempta
tion." . . . Men born under Leo
(July 23-August 22) are great
"show-offs." The best birthday
gift for a Leo is therefore, a wild
tie. The more brightly colored
the better. Or so say the star
gazers. . . How long do you
think it would take a jet plane
to travel from Soviet Russia to
the United States? Answer is
about seven minutes. Wales,
Alaska, is only seventy-four
miles from Russia.
Horses and Women
A group of models of Man
hattan has named its selections
for the "twelve greatest lovers"
among modern males. This is, of
course, a publicity stunt. What
does the average model , know
Mewly-Weds Bumped Enjoy Hospitality
Natchez, Miss. (U.R) Mr. and
Mrs. O. J. Keller of Springfield,
111., were sad honeymooners
when a Southern Airways plane
"bumped" them off here be
cause of a mix-up in reserva
tions. Faced with the prospect of a
day's layover, they were mop
ing around the airport when
about love? Or great lovers?
Models are too young to be ex
pert on that subject. Only a
woman of the world who is at
least thirty qualifies for that.
Besides to know love, to under
stand it, a woman must lose
thought of herself ahd concen
trate on the one beloved. That to
the average model is impossible.
The nature of her activity in
spires her to think chiefly of
herself. Models are the most
self-centered of all women.
Optical Illusion .
That a curved baseball is not
an optical illusion was proven
82 years ago. The first man to
toss a curved baseball was Wil
liam "Candy" Cummings of the
Brooklyn Stars. That was in
1864. Scientists immediately de
clared it was impossible to curve
a baseball, that it was an "opti
cal illusion." That it was
"against all rules of physics. '
The point was argued for six
years. Then Fred Goldsmith of
New Haven, Conn., gave an ex
hibition of curve ball pitching
in which he curved baseballs
around poles: That was on
August 17, 1870.
Please Note
A musical version of G. B.
Shaw's "Pygmalion" with Lisa
Kirk in the title role. That's
what I suggested several months
ago. At the time Lisa said she
thought it was a wonderful idea.
Now I see such a play is to be
produced. But not with Lisa
Kirk. It is to be either Mary
Martin or Dolores Gray. I still
prefer Miss Kirk for the part.

Wife Steals Sink;
Husband Files Suit
Springfield, 111. (U.R) Charles
W. Robinson is suing his former
wife for $1,000 damages for
stealing the kitchen sink.
Robinson sa'id in his suit that
when his former wife moved out
of his house, she left everything
but the kitchen sink. And when
she took that, he said, she dam
aged the wall and two doors get
ting it out and ruined his lawn
driving a truck up to get it.

been around the race tracks for
65 years says there are 102 ways

. . . Frank. Yerbe. Highly suc
cessful literary light. Has writ
ten seven best sellers. First was
the "Foxes of Harrow," a histor
ical novel that sold 1,500,000
copies. Also brought $150,000
for the film rights. Have you
ever considered the great num
ber of historical novels that
have been top sellers? Think it
over before you write your next
novel.
Kisses
How many consecutive kisses
can a couple exchange before
the lip muscles are exhausted?
A New Yorker once wagered
a large sum he could kiss Anna
Held 200 times without stop
ping. After 152 kisses he quit
completely exhausted and paid
off the bet. How about it, young
fellow? How many times do you
think you could consecutively
kiss Ava Gardner, Hedy La
marr, Marjorie Little or Marilyn
Monroe?
Get It Right
"Brooklyn has been sending
film stars to Hollywood since
Clara Bow." So I note it said.
What does the man mean "since
Clara Bow?" His ignorance as
to Brooklyn and Hollywood his
tory is appalling. Brooklyn was
sending stars to Hollywood long
before Clara Bow. As for ex
amples, Norma Talmadge, Con
stance Talmadge and Anita
Stewart. All these cinema
charmers were born in the heart
of Flatbush.
Fabulous Fellow
"Diamond Jim" Brady was
worth around $12 million. In
his heyday he earned a million
dollars a year. After Brady had
known Lillian Russell for thirty
years he proposed marriage to
her. Offered to give her a mil
lion dollars in cash as a wedding
present. Lillian turned him
down and married Alexander
Moore of Pittsburgh. "Diamond
Jim" was also fond of a blonde
from Brooklyn named Edna Mc
Cauley. He is said to have pre
sented Edna with over a million
dollars worth of jewelry. But
she also turned down a proposal
of marriage from him.
