That happiness for man

Much depends on dinner.

So you are a young old timer.
How is your memory of the
songs popular in the ten year
period of 1923-33? That was "the
golden age of the popular song'
Anyway, 370 musicians selected
the following as the best ten
songs of that period: "Tea for
Two," "I'll See You in My
Dreams," "The Man I Love,"
"When Day Is Done,". "Ol Man
River," "Russian Lullaby," "My
Blue Heaven," "Lover Come
Back To Me," "Star Dust," and
"Good Night, Sweetheart."

It was none other than Vol

A secretary sitting on the lap

during "business hours" That " it
could be a highly enjoyable way
of passing a dull afternoon at
the office cannot be disputed
However, it is likely to bring
on complications. Men of exper
ience never combine this type of
pleasure with business. I believe
most secretaries have a similar
view of the situation.
Among The Married
Life can be very difficut for
a married career woman in Geor
gia. In that state a wife's salary
legally belongs to her husband.
The laws as to money earned by
the wife vary widely -in different
states. All married women who
collect regular salary checks
should check on the laws in their
particular state concerning the
same. Of course, those loyal and
loving career girl wives who
turn their paychecks over to
their husbands don't have to
worry about such legislation.
Sidelights
What's the record for size in
human beings? So far the largest
man known to medical histor
ians was Miles Darden of Ten
nessee. Darden was seven feet
six and weighed 871 ... A Libra
(September 23-October 22) wo
man and a Leo (July 23-August
22) man make a good combina
tion Both aTe fond of excite
ment, travel and change. Also,
both are intensely affectionate.
Orr so say the star gazers.

Q. For how long has green
been the national color of Ire

Increase in Chicago
Chicago (U.R) Illegitimate
births are .on... the increase in
Chicago, according to the Illinois
state public health director, Dr.
Roland R. Cross.

born in Chicago in 1954, 7,133,
or 8.2 per cent, were illegitimate.

7.8 per cent. It was 7 per cent
in 1952 and 6.4 per cent in 1951.
Dr. O. K. Sagen of the state
health department said one rea
son for the high illegitimacy
rate in Chicago is that pregnant
unmarried women often go to a
large city to avoid notice.
Meteorologist Plans
To 'Fingerprint' Weather

meteorologist at the University
of Wisconsin has announced
plans for ; "fingerprinting"

tection, the code numbers would
be oh hand to identify a recur
rence of a particular type of
weather..
The technique isn't new, but
Bryson said the system never has
been worked out fully.

Reading Course Urged
Grand Rapids, Mich. (U.R)
Mrs. Douglas Erickson of Grand
Rapids thinks postal employes
should take a course in reading.
She mailed her January elec
tric bill to the Consumers Power
Co. office here. A month later,
the company notified her that
the payment was not received.
The bill was returned to her
several days later. The postmark
showed it had been all the way
to Enkhuizen, Netherlands.
Mrs. Erickson said the post
office must have been to blame
because her writing isn't that
bad.
