On The Side by e. v. Duriing (Distributed by King FaaturM Syndicate. Inc.) pie, the helicopter which can fly straight up, backwards, sideways and forward. The humming bird is the only bird that can fly backwards. It can also stand still in the air. But it can t fly side ways. Over Thr At the best bars in Dublin, Ireland, the top grade Irish whis- ( key is sold by "the glass" and "the half glass." The glass holds two and one half ounces of whis ky, the half glass one and one quarter ounces. Price of a glass of whisky is equivalent of 23 cents. Of a half a glass, 14 cents. Among the Married What's the short marriage record? After Sunny Ainsworth became the bride of Tommy Manville she remained with him only eight hours. Then she went to Reno for a divorce. She re ceived a divorce settlement of $75,000 and was permitted to keep a $16,000 engagement ring. So Sunny received over 510,000 an hour for her eight hours of actual married life. Ethel Mermen recently re vived that touching ditty dealing with the hard life of a dance hostess of the yesteryear titled "Ten Cents a Dance." A very sad song. However, some of those dance hall queens of the yesteryear didn't do so badly. When the fee was 10 cents a dance the dance lasted about one minute. Of the fee, the hostess received 7 cents and the man agement 3 cents. In addition to the payment for the dances, many hostesses received gener ous tips. Asking Queries from clients. Q.

Passing By Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. Distinguished rhetorician and bitter campaigner against the use of the split infinitive. Also one of the pillars of the Ameri can turf. Owner and breeder of Native Dancer. Alfred's cele brated ancestor, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, made $100,000,000 when between the ages of 70 and 83. During that period of his life he increased his railroad holdings from 120 miles to over 10,000 miles, thus realizing a lifelong ambition. Shows what a man can do if he keeps on trying. Maybe if Alfred Vanderbilt keeps on trying he may, when between the ages of 70 and 83, win the Kentucky Derby. Character The character analysts certain ly cover considerable territory. Now it is claimed a person's character can be judged by the positions assumed when sleeping. Do you extend your legs straight out when slumbering? That shows you like to feel important. How about curling your knees up toward your chin when sleep ing? That means you are wor rying. If you sleep with your hands or arms behind your head it means you won't stand for in terference. Or, so say the char acter analysts. Stay awake to night and study your wife's character while she sleeps. Asides Have you a high school co-ed in your home? How is she on United States history? Here's a query for her. There have been two presidents of the United States, whose first name was Franklin. One was Franklin D Roosevelt. Who was the other? ... In addition to his fondness for " jewelry, "Diamond Jim" Brady was an enthusiast for good service. At his residence in New Jersey he had a staff of 27 Japanese houseboys. PUasa Not The following item headed "The Curse of Drink" appeared in a Dublin, Ireland, newspaper dated 1874: "As a result of his lifelong habit of drinking whis ky another poor man died in the county Kerry at the age of 104. He was an orphan." Jealousy When a woman is excessively jealous of her sweetheart or her husband, it is a sign she is sel fish and self-centered. On this all experts are agreed. Observed La Rochefoucauld: "There is more self-love than love in jealousy." Almost Confidential Gen. Douglas MacArthur's fa ther, Arthur McArthur, was a colonel in the United States Army at 19. . . . Of the many clubs for tall young people of six feet in height or over, I think the best named is "The Star Dusters" of Pittsburgh, Pa. Flying "If the birds can fly, why can't we?" That is a line from a poem titled "Darius Green and His Flying Machine" written around 75 years ago. Now men have originated machines that fly far better than any bird.

U.R) Cali fornia health officers prepared today to resume anti-polio inocu lations with vaccine okayed by the U.S. Department of Public Health.

Reach for GILLIAN'S Dutch Ambassador Says People Ready To Fight for Peace Holland, Mich. U.R Dr. J. H. Van Roijen, The Netherlands ambassador to the United States, said Friday his people were will ing to fight for a peace "built on justice, honor and decency." Van Roijen, who came here with his wife from Washington to visit Holland's annual tulip festival, said the Dutch have gained increasing self - confi dence, self-reliance and self -assurance since the end of World War II. He attributed his people's re surgence to the establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization, a rebirth of economic strength and the presence of American troops in Europe. Coincide with U. S. The Netherlands diplomat told a predominantly Dutch-American audience that his country's views on Russia more closely coincide with American views on the Soviets than with those of any other nation. Formerly Netherlands am bassador to India, Van Roijen praised India's Prime Minister Nehru as a "great stabilizing force in Asia" and a "fighter of Communism." He said Nehru has been ac cused of appeasing the Chinese Reds, but advised his audience "when you know more about the Indian's reasoning; then what Nehru is doing makes sense."
