On THe Side By E. V. Durling

How long does it take you to
get over a common cold? Should
take about a week. Many medi
cal men think it is a mistake to
try to cure a cold too quickly.
Let it run its course. These phy
sicians claim a cold is one of
nature's ways of cleansing poi
sons out of the system and that
the sufferer is in better health
after the cold is over.
Horses and Women
It is of vital importance to a
young man wishing to advance
his interests with a female to
determine what she considers
her "good points." If she fea
tures strapless evening gowns,
she thinks the beauty of her
neck, -shoulders and back is
above the average. To get off
to a good start, all the man has
to say is, "you really have a
beautiful back." A woman fond
of wearing shorts thinks she has
limbs a la Dietrich. If she smiles
on the slightest provocation, she
is proud of her teeth or her dim
ples. If she winks she wants to
call your attention to her beau
tiful, big blue eyes. If she wears
low cut dresses, she thinks she
has plenty of male attraction a
la Jane Russell. If a beautiful
female shows a tendency to dis
cuss politics' and non-fiction best
sellers, it indicates she wants to
be considered a brainy beauty.
So don't fail to compliment this
type on her intelligence. Just
say to her, "what an unusual
combination of brains and beau
ty you are. And such a wonder
ful sense of humor!"
Get It Right
" To say a camel can go eight
days without a drink of water
is giving voice to an incomplete
and misleading statement. A
camel cannot go eight days with
out a drink in the summer. His
limit then is three days. In the
winter he can go 10 days with
out a drink of water. It should
be kept in mind that a camel
drinks about 20 gallons of wa
ter in one gulp.

How long does it take your
charming matrimonial mate to
cook a sirloin steak? How about
a chicken? There is said to be
an infra-red grill of Swiss origin
that will cook a sirloin steak in

minutes. . . . Portland Hoff a isn't

j What is the proper size of one
drink of whisky? The Scotch
.figured there were. 18 drinks in
'a quart bottle of whisky. In this
country, cocktail bars and res

fcdrinks from four fifths of a
quart of whisky. They use a
seven-eighths of an ounce jigger.
The profit on a highball retailed
at a bar is from 200 to 500 per
cent. In some places it is even
higher that is, in bars where
they not only use seven eighths

Great Lovers
Claim that bald headed men
are greater lovers than those
who have an abundance of hair
continues to be advanced. It is
not a new claim. It was first ad

reluctance of the wives of bald

Convict Likes Place
San Quentin, Calif. U.R)
Antonio DiTardo, the oldest con
vict in San Quentin prison, cele
brated his 81st birthday today
and vowed he will never leave.
- "I got a good job, lots of
friends and ' a key to my own
house, he said. 4 It would kill
me to go out."
. DiTardo could have gotten out
n parole 10 years ago. 'He re
jected; that opportunity, as he
has done ever since. , -..His
job is tending cells in the
prison's Old Spanish Cell block.
He has an iron key more than
a foot long to the door of his
own cell. In his cell are his most
cherished possessions, a 1927
model phonograph and a collec
tion, of records. He is the only
prisoner to have a phonograph
in his cell.
DiTardo was sentenced to
hang for murdering his wife 35
.years ago. However, an appeal,
new trial and a guilty verdict
sent him to San Quentin prison
for a life term.

"In the language of flowers,
mistletoe means "Give me - a
kiss." That, of course, you know.
However, did you know that the
first time Greta Garbo said, "I
tank I go home," was when at
the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer stu
dio somebody hung a piece-of
mistletoe on the set over Greta's
head and the production super
visor, Hunt Stromberg, rushed
up and kissed her?. .' - . . '
Milchum Unworried Over Losing Job
Hollywood (U.R) Actor
Robert Mitchum was not "the
least bit worried" today , over
being kicked out as leading man
in the film "Blood Alley" and
replaced by John Wayne.
"People ask me if I'm
worried," the screen's hard-boiled
lover said. "Should I be? I've
got four pictures coming up and
I can't make up my mind which
one I'll do."
Warner Brothers studio an
nounced Wayne had cut short his
honeymoon in New York to re
place Mitchum opposite Lauren
Bacall in the cast of Batjac Pro

the company, transportation di
