On The Side
By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
When we have tried each other.
If she better like another.
Let her quickly change from me,
Then to change am I at free.
He or she that loves too lone.
Sell their freedom for a song.
Beaumont.
Does your wife sing in the
bathtub? Or at her boudoir
table? If not she should. Women
who sing stay younger looking
longer than other females. That
is because a singer's cheek
muscles are so well developed
that her face does not sag as
soon as that of a non-singer.
Call this to your wife's attention.
Have her start singing while she
is doing the housework.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Why
are hurricanes given feminine
names such as Carol, Hazel, etc?
A. According to a Weather
Bureau official hurricanes are
given women's names because
they, like women, are unpredict
able. Q. I claim Nellie Melba
was the first to sing the role of
Mimi in "La Boheme" in this
country. Right? A. Wrong, sir.
You lose the carefully wrapped
stogie. "La Boheme" had its
Oct. 14, 1897, at the Los Angeles
Theatre, Los Angeles, Calif.
Linda Montanari sang the role
of Mimi. However, Melba was
the first to sing Mimi at the Met
ropolitan Opera House. That was
on Dec. 26, 1900.
Please Note
Sign noted: "Dry cleaning
in by 10 a.m. back to you 5 p.m.
same day." Can you top that for
speed in your section? . . . How
about this for breakfast bargain:
"Bacon, two eggs, hashed brown
potatoes, toast, jam and coffee.
Canadian Singers
Will Appear Here
A team of six persons repre
senting Prairie Bible institute of
Three Hills, Alberta, Canada
will appear in Medford Sunday
evening under the sponsorship
of Medford Community Church.
The services will be held in
the Pythian auditorium, Fifth
and Grape sts., at 7:30 p.m. No
admission will be charged and
the public is invited.
The group is lead by Will
Bruce, field representative of
the institute. Those appearing
with him are his wife, Jean,
chalk artist; Jane Muramoto,
vocal soloist; Nancy Howison,
violinist; Verne Hutchinson,
trombonist and Wanda Howard,
pianist. Instrumental and vocal
combinations as well as solo
presentations are announced.
Fifty-three cents"? . . . Here's
another bargain offered by a top
grade establishment: "One and
one eighth ounce drink of six
year old, 90 proof bourbon. Fifty
cents." Foregoing shows what
youcan do when you shop
around. As Confucius advised:
"Before you buy, try three
places."
Says She
"The most dominating women
are those born under Aries
(March 21-April 20)," says a
Libra born feminine subscriber.
"The husbands of Aries women
are terribly hen-pecked, the poor
fellows. Did you hear about the
Aries woman who slapped her
little boy for impertinence and
then said to a friend who was
present, "I won't have that boy
answering me back. It sets a bad
example for his father."
His and Hers
As I recently said, there are by
law in Sweden "his" and "hers"
alcoholic drinks served at bars.
The "his" portion is much larger
than the "hers." Now in some
markets in the Middle West in
this country "his" and "hers"
steaks are being retailed. They
are in the same packages. One
labeled "his," the other "hers."
The "his" is a much larger steak
than the "hers."
Passing By
Many changes of names made
by people are based on numero
logy. They believe the change
will improve their luck. For ex
ample, a California numerolo
gist named Miswald Wrandova
kist thought his name' was un
lucky so he had it changed to
Lincoln Disgrowles Wrandvan
fgrimotkets. Getting Up
The fighter I saw get up from
the floor most after being knock
ed down was Luis Angel Firpo
in his hectic bout with Jack
Dempsey. Luis arose from the
floor seven times. That, , how
ever, was far from the record.
In a bout between Joe Jeanette
and Sam McVey in Paris in
1907, Jeanette was knocked
down twenty-seven times . and
got up each time. Not. only that,
he won the fight. In the twenty
ninth round McVey threw in the
towel. "I gives up," said Mc
Vey, "that there Jeanette ain't
really human. He's made of rubber."

Teenage Daughters
Ashamed Of Home
' Teenagers are very self-conscious
about the appearance of
their home. There is no reason
for. parents to permit the situa

their children are ashamed to
have their friends come to their
home." "-
(Q) "We have - three chil

friends to our home because
they say their friends all have
better homes. When I speak
to my husband about fixing
anything, he always says, 'You
fix it.' I think that is a man's
work, and besides, I haven't
the money to fix things if I
tried. He makes a good salary
but he won't give me any
money for the house and I
never have anything left after
buying food and a few clothes
for myself. What would you
suggest that I do? I don't want
my - daughters meeting the
boys on the street or at dance
halls, but it isn't fair to keep
them from having dates
either."
(A) "It certainly is not fair: to
put- your, daughters . in such a
position that -4hey are em
barrassed to bring their friends
home. Nor is it fair to them to
give the boys the bad impression
about them they are certain to
get when they meet them on the
streets or in, public dance halls.
Today there 'are such quick
and easy ways to spruce up a
house and furniture that even a
complete amateur can do a good
job. Just read the directions
given and you will have no
trouble.
As for the cost of materials,
could you not ask your children
who are working to contribute
part of it? Then', if your husband
refuses to give you the money
you need, try giving him cheap
food and save something frorn
the food allowance. This may
convince him that you are ser
ious about wanting your home
to be such that your children
won't be ashamed of it.
