t I. r, l if , e $6 , L -'- ; ; , jr.. LEAVING ST. MATTHEW; S CATHEDRAL, Washington, following marriage, Senator and Mrs. Jo seph R. McCarthy hold hands as they sit in automobile. The Wisconsin Republican's bride Is the lormer Jean Kerr, beauty contest winner, who once worked In his office. (International) On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by Kiaf rutins Syadicata. Inc.) Is your wife a petite or cute Lttle type? If so, the opportuni ty is at hand for her to really get into the fashion plate class. Am reliably informed that the designers and manufacturers, finally recognizing the fact that women" under 5 feet are in the majority, are going to make this a small women's year. Women 5 feet 4 or under will get a special break. Even Dior has mannequins measuring 5 feet 4 showing some of his top items. Pasting By E 1 r o y "Crazylegs" Hirsch. Brilliant professional football player. An alumnus of the Uni versity of Michigan. Hirsch was the first Michigan athlete to win four varsity letters in one year, in football, basketball, baseball and track. . . . Joe Smith, veteran comedian. Joe and his partner Charlie Dale have been together fifty-five years. Believe that is the record for stage partnerships. For many years they appeared with and produced one of the most hil arious acts in vaudeville his tory, ifamely the Avon Comedy hour. Wild Women Girls at women's colleges drink more strong liquor than coeds. So recent research in dicates. It was ever thus. I re call when I was being educated in New England that the stu dents at the girls colleges were much wilder in every way than the coeds. This was especially true at a girls' college not far from Amherst, Mass. I mention no names. Sidelights Prof. Alfred Kinsey's first published work was titled "What the Birds Do in the Rain" . . . The term "Venus" is rather carelessly applied to many fe males. The only, women rating this description are those hav ing the measurements of Venus de Milo, which are as follows: bust, 35V4, waist, 28; hips 3614 . . . An expert on aviation ques tions my statement that Mme. Jacqueline Auriol of France has flown a plane faster than Jac queline Cochrane. I believe I am right. Mme Auriol has flown a plane at a speed of 683 miles an hour. Horoscopes Are there horoscopes for horses? Has any stargazer ever picked winners that way? The celebrated stargazer, Evangeline Adams, believed in. horoscopes for dogs, cats and horses. She claimed to have made a horo scope of one of her dogs which showed it would be killed in an accident. The dog was run over by a truck. While Miss Adams didn't make a practice of reading horoscopes of race horses with a view to picking for winners, she did predict the victory of one thoroughbred for an owner, who was one of her clients. I understand this horo scope suggested a change of jockeys. Seems, according to Miss Adams, the horse and his regular jockey were not astro- logically compatible. Marrying Record Ava Gardner has been mar ried three times, Lana Turner four times and Rita Hayworth four times. All these cinema luminaries are under forty.

' Commuters A commuter has been de scribed as "a man who spends his life riding to and from his wife." An apt description. The service offered commuters in the New York and New Jersey area is terrible. It would seem these regular customers would rate streamlined, air-conditioned trains with reserved seats and Most Closures Will Be Lilted Salem (U.R) Gor. Paul Patterson said today that nearly all regulated or permit closures in western Oregon will be lifted effective at midnight tonight, a move which will open most of the state to deer hunters who take to the woods Saturday. Only areas which may. not be affected are in the Rogue River national forest and a small area in the Prospect-Butte Falls reg ion. However, it was indicated that the areas might be opened in time for deer season, if rains continue. Hunters in eastern Oregon will encounter few restricted areas, forestry officials said. They said the only exceptions were' small slash and operating areas in the Deschutes national forest and the Summer lake rim of the Fremont national forest. Some restrictions also were ex pected to continue in the Kla math area. Heart Disease Victory in Sight Washington (U.R) The National Heart institute said to day that many medical author ities are now confident the bat tle against most heart diseases can be won in the next 25 years, Institute officials gave this en couraging report to the House Commerce committee as it op ened hearings on major diseases and what's being done about them. The old idea that the nation's number one killer must be con sidered "inevitable and uncon querable" has been replaced by a "new philosophy," they said. This holds that the disease can be beaten. . "On the part of many medical authorities and scientists," the institute said, "there is today confidence that within the next quarter of a century the nation can master much, if not all, of the untimely death and disabil ity caused by the major types of heart diseases."

Ratings Took Nosedive After his second illness last spring, he quit TV and his film ed shows were re-leased. But his ratings took a nosedive, the critics said, because his antics were on film.
