FIFTH WEEK OF TRIAL Dr. Samuel Sheppard (left) bites his lip as he goes over trial material with William Corrigan Jr., junior member of defense counsel, before court con vened for the fifth week of trial in which Dr. Sam is ac cused of the slaying of his wife, Marilyn. v On The Side y v. Durung (Distributed by King Feature Svadicate, Inc.) Asking Oh, what a beautiful morning it was in Manhattan. Plenty of zip in the air. Great day for walking. I worked out two miles around the Central Park reser voir and did it four-fifths of a second under the track record. And I was just breezing. As usual, I am the short priced fav orite for the Around the Reser voir Handicap. There is a sleeper this year some of the smart money boys think has a chance. That is J. Fred Coots, the song writer, trained by Clem McCar thy. J. Fred is a former Brook lynite. Comes from my old neighborhood in fact. He is a three-time winner of the Brook lyn Bridge Pedestrian's Handi cap. He is a heel and toe walker. I anticipate no trouble from him. He is 'more for the dashes. Not a good router. Horses & Women . Does your wife wear one of those pancake hats flat on her head? Or any. type hat flat on her head? This will make her look slightly moronic and arouse a suspicion that she may be suf fering from arrested develop: ment. However, sir, from your standpoint it may be better than if she wore her chapeau tipped at a rakish angle. I note it said that when a woman wears her hat on the side of her head it "increases her male appeal and makes her look intriguing and .slightly flirtatious." Now you don't want your wife wandering around looking intriguing and flirtatious, do you? She might get into trouble. Let her keep wearing her hat flat on her head, even if it does make her look like a flathead. Passing By Willie Hoppe, Veteran billiard expert. First time I met Willie be said, "I. never read news papers." Being a hard working young reporter at the time, this set me back on my heels. George .Walsh, then a top film star, who was standing nearby, remarked: "Pay no attention to him, Ed. He's my brother-in-law and has never seen me in a moving pic ture. He doesn't read news papers or go to the -movies. That's for the protection of his eyesight. To ' maintain a steady hand he doesn't smoke, drink alcoholic liquors or coffee." Queries from clients Q. Who wrote the song titled "My Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-wow?" A. Couldn't say, sir. It is an old British music hall song. Believe it was introduced by Marie Lloyd. It was popular In Eng land and in this country over fifty years before the ditty titled "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?" was written. Songs about dogs usually suc ceed. First bit of that type was "Old Dog Tray" by Stephen Foster. Then came "Where Has My Little Dog Gone?" written by Septimus Winner. If you want to write a hit song why not try one about a dog? - Get It Right Note a reference to Somerset Maugham's play "Rain" Mau gham wrote the short story titled . "Sadie- Thompson" - on which the play "Rain" was based. The play was written by John Colton - and Clemence Dane. The playwrights had con siderable difficulty in getting Maugham's permission to dra matize his short story, dealing with Sadie Thompson. He couldn't see a play in it. And was much surprised when it de veloped into such a terrific hit. Cats Are you familiar wm the old song titled " "The Cat Came Back?" All right, prove it. Sing it for your wife. Do cats always come back to their old homes? Does a cat love his home more than his master or mistress? I heard of a cat who, when she saw her folks were moving, went into hiding. Didn't come out until the moving Van left. The cat's owner then came back and took the cat to the new home. The next day the cat went back to the old home. It's a fact. NOBODY WANTS IT Milford, Conn.
