i -. . i I ! EIGHT MSDFOBD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, December 21,-1954 it I j in to THESE GREEKS HAVE LOTS OF WORDS-Students in Athens, Greece shout and match in a rioting crowd during a demonstration protesting the U. S. stand on the Cypress auestion. Greece has demanded a plebiscite in Cypress, on . le question of whether that island will switch from British rule to Greek. The U. S. voted against bringing, up the matter in the UN. Oil The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Feature Smdicat, Inc.) Lot yon? - - Ten cannot ask of me Anything I would so wish to rive. It is a woman's great necessity To love as long as she shall live. . - Phoebe Cary How bid was your mother when you were born? Gyrte . cologists claim the best years for a ..woman to have children is when she is from 18 to 23. Chil dren born in that period, say the gynecologists,, are most likely to ; develop into the healthiest and most intelligent adults. That lets me out. My mother was 31 ' years old when I was born. Asking Queries from clients: Q. Who starred in the film titled "Man, Woman and Sin?" A. Jean Eagles and John Gilbert. Q. Did the three Barrymores, Ethel, John and Lionel, ever appear in the : same stage play? A. Only stage play the three Barrymores ap peared in was in J. M. Barrie's one act , play 'Tantaloon." Q. ;Who was the man who said, " "What is woman? Only one of Nature's agreeable blunders?" : A. Remark you mention was not : made by a man but by a woman, Hanaah Cowley. So They Say Bachelorette considering mar riage to a Capricornian (Decem ber 22-January 19) asks what the stargazers " think of such males as matrimonial material. Capricorn men have a passion for privacy. They like to be alone. Are a kind of male Garbo. As husbands they must be provided with dens to retire to and be alone with their thoughts. They are allergic to talkative women. Prefer females who are good listeners of the "yes woman" type. A Capricornian likes for a wife a good cook, housekeeper and laundress and one who keeps the house spotlessly clean and can account by a budget, for every cent spent. Capricorn men are good providers, loyal hus bands but seldom great lovers. Briefly, they are dull but de pendable. Or, so say , the star gazers. Sidelights - If was Bernard Baruch who observed, "Every man has a right to his own opinion but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts." . . . What street name in this country is the most diffi cult to make strangers under stand over the telephone? How about Winganhauppag Avenue, Islip, N. Y.? Making that clear over the telephone must be a terrific strain on the vocal chords. Smoky Embrace The kissing scene between Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant in the film "Notorious" was "fairly torrid" in the opinion of a New Yorker but not to be com peared in intensity to that be tween Olga Nethersole and Aubrey Boucicault in the stage piay &appno. xnai Kissing scene was so heated that the po lice closed the show and; took Miss Nethersole into custody. One critic described the scene as a "smoky embrace." The kiss in Sappho" lasted three minutes. At present, screen kisses are limited to fifteen seconds. At some studios ten seconds is the maximum. Incidentally, the. av erage kiss in real life between man and wife lasts two seconds. Between sweethearts five sec onds. Over There Recent ruling in France pro hibits the sale of alcoholic drinks between' 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. Such a ruling would be no great hardship in this country. After all, who drinks liquor that early in the day in the U. S. A.? In France it' is different. Many Frenchmen ljke to have their breakfast at a sidewalk cafe. And they are very fond of having cognac or rum with their coffee. Spain in Grip Of Worst Drought; Eleciric Hv; Scarce , Madrid (U.R) -The south and central sections of Spain are in the grip of their worst drought in many years. Cities as well as farm areas are affected. Spain is 90 per cent dependent on hydro-electric plants for its power. With many of the big dams down , to less than 15 per cent of capacity, .there is a chronic electricity crisis. . The big electricity companies are in an awkward spot. They are the but for music hall jokes, newspaper criticisms, and car toonist's barbs. ,. Rationing Introduced ; - Electricity rationing has been introduced three days a week to try and spread the load. And when the lights do come on at seven in the evening there is frequently very little force behind the power. The little man in business is hard hit, too, for the rationing of power is general for all types of consumers, except a few in dustries rated as essential, in cluding the press. Most big firms have their own private generat ing plants run by fuel oil ex pensive to run but good enough to keep the machinery turning. But some small factories', hair dressing salons, photograph stu dios and a host - of other bus nesses where electric power , is essential are forced to idle or do the best they , can with ; make-: shift material. . - Firms cannot lay off employ Can't Lay Off Workers ees because of the restrictions, according to government edict, so the employer has to cut his losses the best way he can. The government is making desperate efforts to help the companies get over the crisis. An accord has been signed with a French company to ship power across the frontier, and a big campaign is underway .to in crease the number of coal and oil-burning generators through out . Spain. Work is going on apace with the construction of new dams to step up the hydp- electrlc output, and ; new lines tional power from the north of are being laid to , carry addi Spain, which has the heaviest rainfall in the Pennisula. - But an ever-increasing power consumption, as Spain becomes more' industrialized, so far has kept the demand for electricity one jump ahead of production.
