On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) The citizens of the Argentine2 in 1919. Whose idea Republic eat an average of two pounds of steak a day. I have sampled steak from the Argen tine on several occasion.-?. Can not say I consider it unusual. Give me a Kansas City steak every time. Hysteria Note Grace Kelly referred to as the "rarest commodity in Hollywood, a beauty who can act." The Grace Kelly hysteria now borders on the ridiculous. And may soon be over the bor der. There are many beauties in Hollywood who can act. And, in fact, act rings around Miss Kelly. As for examples, Barbara Stanwyck and Greer Garson. Also Vanessa Brown. And how about Yvonne De Carlo? Passing By Caesare Cardinl. Celebrated Pacific Coast restaurateur. The Originator of Caesare's salad. He originated' that delightful salad when he operated an Ital ian restaurant in Tiajuana, Mex ico. Now has a place in Los Angeles . . . Newly betrothed George Jean Nathan. Dean of drama critics. He has lived forty-four years m the same apartment. If that isn't a record of lengthy loyalty to one apart ment, what is? Window Shopping In a tobacco shop's window display I was interested in not ing among the cigarets a brand called "Picayune Cigarettes the Pride of New Orleans." And another brand called "Jezebel Cigarettes." Also one called "Rum Maple." The most remark able display of cigarets I ever saw was in a tobacco shop in Geneva, Switzerland. On display there were over 450 different brands of cigarets! Horses and Women Lana Turner is frequently re ferred to as "the original sweater girl." Also those things called "falsies are often spoken of as if they were something new in feminine attire. Both were in fashion when your great-grandmather was a whistle girl. What follows is an excerpt from an account of what were the feminine fashions in Man hattan, over sixty years ago, in the "elegant eighties," by the distinguished New York City historian. Henry Collins Brown: "The jersey (sweater) rendered a buxom figure not hard to look at. It undoubtedly did justice to all the curves of beauteous wom anhood. When worn by a boyish figure, it was quite permissible to add various devices that sup plied some deficiencies nature had omitted to provide." Asking ' ' V-J lit 1 It .1 L1W1JI Lubiitu. Is the origin of the nickname of "Casey" Stengel, manager of the New York Yankees? A. Stengel is from Kansas City, Mo. The nickname was originally "K. C." Steneel and it developed into "Casey." Q. What State had the first gasoline tax on automo biles? What was the name of the genius who originated this tax? Shouldn't he have a monument somewhere in his old home town or at a prominent spot on U.S. Highway No. 1? A. The gas oline tax originated in Oregon it was I cannot say. Tempus Fugit To give you an idea how right that man was who first said "tempus fugit," it was sixteen years ago that Wendy Hiller ap peared in the film version of Shaw's "Pygmalion." Wendy is my favorite "Pygmalion" star of screen or stage. Incidentally, Shaw personally selected her to star in "Pygmalion." What hap pened to that Theater Guild idea of making a musical version of "Pygmalion"? That could be very good. Barbers Ever have your hair cut with a razor? Have heard it said that continental barbers prefer to use a razor for a hair cut. While the British use scissors. Neither uses the clippers. I have had haircuts in a number of European coun tries and none of the barbers used a razor. They seemed to prefer scissors but would use clippers if you asked them to. Best haircuts I had in Europe were in Italy, especially in Venice.

Legislative proposals being considered today include a pro vision that all school boards in Oregon comprise at least five members; a proposal that no new school service should be provid ed without uniform periods for legal notices. The convention concluded Saturday. Use Mail Tribune Want Ads Central Point Sets Building Studies Central Point The city coun cil at Central Point will meet with a Medford architect in the near future to discuss plans for the new fire hall and library building. At a meeting Thursday, the council canvassed city ballots in Tuesday's election and the of ficial count showed the fire hall measure passed , by 369 to 149, higher than the first unofficial count. Voting for city candidates remained the same. Councilman Robert Padgelt reported that the city plans to build a "substantial, fire-proof structure that will last the city many years." A bond issue of Washington U.R) The Navy Saturday offered to turn two proud veterans of the Spanish-American war, the warships Olympia and Oregon, into pub lic memorials. But unless some civic-minded group offers to take them, the historic ships may be sold or scrapped. ; Congress authorized donation of the vessels to a state, terri tory, city or non-profit group earlier this year. The Navy, however, noted that the ships are now in a "deteriorated state" Court Records POLICE COURT Charles William Lovell, violation of basic rule, $10.

No Cost lo U.S. One provision of the transfer is that the historic ships will be maintained in "satisfactory condition at no expense to the government." The estimated cost to put the Olympia in a "safe and present able condition" is $650,000. The Navy said no estimate is avail able on how much it would cost to repair the Oregon, which is stripped to her superstructure and has only hull and deck in tact. Dewey's Flagship The Olympia was Adm. Dew ey's flagship in the Battle of Manila Bay on May 1, 1898 and led the attack on the Spanish squadron. Her final assignment was to bring home the body of the unknown soldier of World War I for burial in 1921, The Olympia was decommis sioned in 1922 and is now at the Philadelphia Naval shipyard in such poor condition that the public is not allowed to go aboard her.

Quits Yanking Now they're joined by Dr. William Treutle, a Tacoma, Wash,, dentist whose experience with film had been limited to x-rays of his patients' bicuspids. In 1951 he suffered a heart at tack and was told he would die in six months unless he quit work. The doctor, wasted -.to 103 pounds, gave away his sav ings and possessions, including a 1,000-acre ranch near Carmel, Calif., and prepared for one last fling. "I wanted to go to Africa a boyhood dream," smiled the slender bespectacled dentist. " thought I'd make a film there. "I'd never even taken home movies before. I bought a camera in a drugstore. In Hollywood I talked to pros, but they laughed. They said it couldn't be done." Finds Lot Treutle sought out famed movie cameraman James Wong Howe, whom he met once skiing in Washington. Howe gave Treutle some simple instructions and the dentist hopped aboard a freighter for Africa. ' At an airport there he met a former assistant to director C. B. DeMille, Eleanore Claff, who was scouting film locations for another company. They fell in love and married, with the bride convinced he could win back his health. The honeymooners journeyed to the country of the Karamoja tribe, which they claim hasn't been filmed before. Nine months later they returned to the United States with 10,000 feet of excit ing film featuring nude natives and gory sacrificial scenes. Fills for Cash Unable to sell the unedited film, Treutle, his health re covered, went back to filling teeth at Sebastopol, Calif., to raise money to finish the picture him?elf. "Two years" savings went into editing, the narration and muiic,'' he said. Hallmark productions agreed to release "Karamoja"' and the world premiere was held at SebastopoL The picture has done such healthy business that Tre utle gave up dentistry to live quietly near San Diego. Next ! year he plans to make a similar movie in South America. 1 RUMMAGE and PLANT SALE Pythian Sisters November 8 & 9 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PYTHIAN BLDG. 5TH & GRAPE ST.
