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

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. What
actor was featured with Spencer
Tracy in the stage production
titled "The Last Mile"? A. James
Bell. That play was produced
25 years ago. Q. Hasn't Gina Lol
lobrigida, Italian film star, been
nicknamed "The Sizzler" by her
European admirers? A. No, sir.
The star known as "The Sizzler"
is the red-haired siren named
Sofia Loren.
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. For exam-

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."

Auto-Bus Crash
Kills One, Hurls 11
Oxnard, Calif. U.R) One
man was killed and 11 other per
sons injured last night when a
Los Angeles bound Greyhound
bus rammed broadside into a
passenger car five miles east of
here.
' California highway patrolmen
said the dead man was Jess V.
Meraz, 43, of Santa Paula, Calif.,
the driver of the car. Officers
said Meraz apparently failed to
stop at an intersection.
The bus, carrying 33 passen
gers, careened 200 feet across a
ditch and landed on a railroad
track. The bus driver, Chester
Green, of South Gate, Calif., was
among six of the injured who
were in serious condition, the
patrol said.

trict of the council of carpenters
